Cuties for the cute
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 03/10/2014
» Treat your little misses to adorable bags and accessories that will make them the envy of all the other girls. Local children's brand Sati has been around for four years now, making handmade hair clips, headbands, handbags and other cute paraphernalia that young ladies can fawn over. Every single product comes from meticulous handiwork, but don't worry if the children wear them to the water: they're sturdy and also have a usage guarantee. If anything breaks, all knick knacks can be sent in for repairs. Most importantly, Sati products are free from chemicals, lead and heavy metals, while also passing America's CPSIA (Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008) standard — a law that protects child consumers from goods. The nail polish that has been developed by the Science faculty at Silpakorn University for Sati is also non-toxic and free from chemicals such as formalin and toluene, which smells like paint thinner.

Inside the pink pastel box, which has just popped up inside their department store, this museum's showcase will not be complete without its main exhibition: you. Get snapped upon entering MOME and get ready to see yourself turned into art works by 10 different artists. The summer museum visit all ends at the museum gift shop, which of course, sells mementos that star you.

Four prominent groups which hail from Budapest are considered among the top 10 projection artists in the world, and Limelight, which has created the "Beautiful Bangkok" 3D mapping currently showing on the Magnolias Ratchadamri Boulevard, is also one of those pioneers.

Made in China, via Bangkok
Muse, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 26/08/2017
» It's not often that you get to see austere ministers of various ministries, business bigwigs, Hong Kong superstar Ray Lui (better known in Thailand as Tingli), K-pop singers and hundreds of screaming groupies all in the same room. Yet all those differing personalities came together under the flashing glitz and glam of the Thailand Headlines Person of the Year Award ceremony last month at Bangkok Convention Centre, Centara Grand.

The Japanese master
Muse, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 09/12/2017
» Just because you're outside of the capital doesn't mean you can't enjoy star-studded dining too. Last month, InterContinental Hua Hin Resort kicked off their series of world-class dining events by bringing in two-Michelin-starred chef Takagi Kazuo, of Kyoto Cuisine Takagi, for a special traditional menu paired with sake. The master of a rare Kyoto cuisine, or "Kyo-ryori", presented a feast that looked like a gorgeous picture of autumn on a plate -- using Tasmanian sea's salmon, abalone, scallops from Hokkaido and hand-picked autumn leaves straight from Kyoto. Showcasing the beauty of Japan's former capital, the beautifully-plated dishes were not a replica of his menus served back in Japan, but a tweaked version that was adapted to suit Thai culture and style. Befitting this grand occasion, the meal was served at La Residence, the hotel's colonial jewel. Before he jetted off to the next fancy dinner he was cooking, we had a quick chat with the chef about Kyoto cuisine and his work ideals.

The go-to fashion brand for petite ladies
Muse, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 09/12/2017
» Sweet and petite, Rassarine "Kathy" Tanachaiwattanapokin makes the kind of clothes that are perfect for small, dainty women. Although her feminine brand, Made of Fabric, has been around since 2011, it was only this season that the founder/designer presented her autumn/winter collection, "Dreamless Romance", with a big, rosy splash at CentralWorld. With a childhood spent around fabrics and a master's degree in fashion from Istituto Maragoni, Rassarine has turned her passion into a popular label -- so much so that Chinese tourists make her store a stop on their travel itineraries. Using herself as the prototypical model, you'll be sure to always find itsy-bitsy pieces here (Kathy loves short hemlines because they make legs look longer). We talked to the designer about her brand's history and why the girlie girls love it.

From old guard, established names to brand new labels making their debut, this season was a good mix of flamboyance, as well as sleek sophistication.
