» While summer focuses more on the body and skin, fall's the time in fashion where ornaments get the spotlight. So to kickstart fall fashion trends, we've gathered up a few statement pieces that really cut through the clutter of traditional shoe and bag designs. These accessories will earn you the opportunity to say "what? This old thing?" with the most utmost pretentiousness because they're anything but unintentional.
Youth, love and heartache

» In Bangkok, when you're down for a movie, it's rare to have the opportunity to see short films by emerging Thai filmmakers -- about as rare as it is for these types of films to be screened in a theatre as popular as SFX. This is exactly why Lost In Blue is important. Lost In Blue is a collection of three short films by young Thai visionaries playing in theatres now. Last year, we interviewed one of the filmmakers, Paphawee Jinnasith, for her short Glowstick, which is also showing in this event. This year, we wanted to get to know another featured filmmaker. Guru talks to 24-year-old Aekaphong Saransate about the movie event and his film Fon.

» The most interesting thing happening at the EM District right now is the annual EmQuartier Art Festival. Aside from the art market and creative workshops for you to swan-dive into, the festival's main exhibition should definitely be on your agenda, as it is the first dual exhibition between two masters of Thai abstract art, Somyot Hananuntasuk and Somboon Hormtientong. Guru catches up with the legends to get a better understanding of what draws them towards abstract art and what it has meant to them for the last 40 years and counting.

» If you can't live life with a bare face, you'll know that any beauty queen needs two sets of makeup at any given time: one extensive collection permanently mounted on the vanity and the spark-note version that can fit inside a cute little makeup purse.

» Luxury bag owners and collectors will know too well the necessity of taking your Louis's and Chanels to "the spa" for a touch up, if not total repair. But do you recall that five years ago in Thailand, such service was virtually unheard of? You have Ranathon Pollachart to thank for establishing Thailand's first luxury bag spa, MyBagSpa. Now with five successful branches nationwide, we catch up with Ms Ranathon to learn about what's she's up to now, as well as receive a few tips and trends about designer bags from the stylish entrepreneur.
BKK'S bread heaven
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 16/09/2016
» What exactly makes for phenomenal bread? The answer is in the name: holes. Just slice through a croissant at Holey Artisan Bakery and you'll see. The layers separate so equally, rendering the cross-section like a rose in perfect bloom. If it looks delicate and fragile, it's 'cause it is. You should be covered in flakes by the time you're done devouring the pastry - a sign of the best.
That one friend
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 09/09/2016
» This week in Guru, we celebrate the oddballs in our lives. Those people we know who are "a little" off-centre, regular commuters on the road less travelled, you know, the unicorns. Every so often, for selfish reasons, we might wish they were a little more "normal", but always immediately after saying that, we eat our words realising the tragedy we've just described. So let's take some time to identify and appreciate the people who entertain us by just being them. Here are nine of the most common weirdos in any Bangkokian social circle.
