As August moves to a close, we can celebrate what has been a historic, exciting month with more exciting stuff coming your way. Look forward to a Turkish shopping experience, great shows, festivals, and, if we say so ourselves, a pretty awesome party put together by the Nomads, too!
Turkish Delight Pop-Up Bazaar
Lifestyle boutique Edit Lifestyle brings the Turkish Bazaar shopping experience to Singapore! Taking inspiration from the legendary, 500-year-old markets of Istanbul, the Bazaar will feature goods sourced from Turkey’s best stores: gorgeous carpets, hand-tooled metal bowls, Iznik ceramics, opulent tea wares, and sterling silverware. Turkish Delight will also feature magnificent jewellery creations from the ‘star jeweller’ of Turkey, Sevan Biçakçi, whose majestic and amazingly intricate rings are crafted with his signature reverse-intaglio technique.
The Turkish Delight Pop-Up Bazaar will be held from 28th August to 20th September at Edit Lifestyle, Tudor Court, 137-139 Tanglin Rd. Check out Edit Lifestyle’s Facebook page here for updates and details.

Imagine Dragons Live In Singapore
Riding on the back of massive singles like ‘Demons’ and ‘Radioactive’, Imagine Dragons have risen steadily to the top of music charts everywhere. After playing incredible shows and headlining festivals across the world, they arrive in town for their first-ever, hugely anticipated show in Singapore. Expect to hear plenty of old hits along with newer material from their latest hit album, Smoke + Mirrors. One of the gig highlights of the year, for sure.
