1 Bike Pride.
Killwood Bika, CA$399 (S$417), from www.killwood.ca.

Love your bike? Then flaunt it with the Bika multi-function bike rack that doubles as an ornamental shelf. It’s designed to hold up to 54 kg, and the lowest shelf comes embedded with a powerful magnet for your keys.

2 Weightless Colour.
Chanel Rouge Allure Ink, $49 each, (eight shades).

The silky smooth texture glides over lips with a velvety matte finish that doesn’t make them dry. Feeling like you’re not wearing anything, it leaves a striking stain that lasts all day – even through food and drinks. The applicator makes application effortless, too.

My Reading Room
3 Natural Charm.
Poppy, Daisy, Little Flowers and Charms Necklace by Les Nereides, $320, from Mimento.

Feel girlishly elegant with this cheery necklace. Its floral adornments, made from handenamelled brass and rhinestones, add a refreshing accent to any outfit while the gold-plated brass chain gives it a modern vibe.

My Reading Room
4 Bottoms Up.
Huggies Clutch n’ Clean, $7.95 (includes a 40-sheet pack of Huggies Gentle Care Baby Wipes), from major supermarkets.

It’s a cheery way to lug around the wet wipes little ones seem to need all the time. And we love that we can use it as a pretty clutch, sans wipes, to pop a wallet, phone and car keys into for lunch.

My Reading Room
5 Desk Zen.
Wooden desktop stationery rack, ¥79 (S$16), from www.fhshcy.jiyoujia.com.

Lacking desk space? Think upwards with this clever, minimalistic solution crafted from bamboo. It’s great for essential stationery, and even has a side opening for your charging cables.

My Reading Room
6 Pretty Tasty.
Marou chocolate bars, $12 each, from www.hellochocolate.asia.

These dark chocolate treats, crafted from single origin cocoa beans from Vietnam, are incredibly smooth on the palate with subtle fruity nuances. The beautiful packaging makes them great for gifting, too.

7 Sound Statement.
Mywraps Classic Wraps, $48, from Twobros, Isetan Scotts and Isetan Tampines.

Instead of rifling through your bag for a cord wrap, loop these stylish earphones around your wrist like a wraparound bracelet, then lock the earphone jack into place. The fabric is tangle-free and the braiding makes them arm candy, too.
