Sonia Chew’s footwear line inspired by pop stars
Mediacorp personality and 987FM presenter Sonia Chew is stepping into footwear design with her debut capsule collection created in collaboration with home-grown footwear label PrettyFit.
Named “On Air. Off Air. On Point”, the three-piece range is inspired by the 34-year-old’s on-the-go lifestyle and distinctive sense of style, created with comfort and versatility at its heart for women who constantly find themselves having to “wear many hats in life”.
The collection takes inspiration from three female pop stars. For dressier occasions, the Raye Sandals ($79.90) – named after British singer-songwriter Raye – feature an 8cm heel and cushioned sole. They come in the shades Blueberry Mochi, Lemon Chiffon and Espresso Martini.

The Mary Jane-inspired Charli Flats ($83.90), named after British singer-songwriter Charli XCX, feature leather-and-satin criss-cross straps and a memory foam insole. They are available in Mocha Tart, Cherry Pie and Creme Brulee.
The Billie Sneakers ($89.90) featuring customisable lace charms.

Rounding out the line-up for casual off-duty moments are the Billie Sneakers ($89.90), inspired by American singer-songwriter Billie Eilish. Available in Panna Cotta and Burnt Caramel, the sneakers feature contrasting laces and offer a personalised touch with customisable silver charms shaped like stars, microphones and headphones.

Planner shopping is getting a customisable upgrade, thanks to Singapore lifestyle brand The Paper Bunny. Marking 12 years of stationery design, the home-grown label has launched its 2027 Planner, featuring a modular system that lets users build their dream planner instead of choosing a fixed layout.
The process begins with selecting a folio cover available in five colourways, designed with pockets for receipts, photos and stickers. For a personalised finish, the folio can also be monogrammed for $8.

Users then choose from three insert formats tailored to their planning style, before adding accessories such as decorative Mini Charms ($19.90 for a bundle of three), a Keepsake Clip ($35) and a set of three Pocket Notebooks ($18).
The Mini Charms are exclusive to the 2027 Planner bundle (from $69.90), while the clip and notebooks can be bought separately.
