» Last weekend, one of my best friends and his fashion brand-founding wife gave me a belated birthday present. It was an oversized, cross-shaped, glow-in-the-dark necklace decked out in hand-sculpted daisies and pearls, an item from his wife's latest collection. Even though it's cross-shaped, the necklace didn't strike me as having religious overtones as it has been stylishly manipulated into an amazingly well-crafted accessory. I love it so much that I wore it two nights in a row when I was out about town over the weekend.

Here, during the final two months in particular, there's usually a host of parties and other organised events, even if the holiday spirit has been dampened somewhat over the past few weeks by the tense political atmosphere in our capital.
You are what you wear

» 'You Are What You Wear" is Bangkok Fashion Society's Autumn/Winter 2013 screaming manifesto. The adage does not only pay homage to fashion's indispensable place in the societal ladder, but also serves as a reminder to wear original designs while pulling together to shun copycats, the biggest problem staring the local fashion scene in the face.

» There was a strange sight at Justin Bieber's first ever concert in Bangkok last Thursday. No, it wasn't of pre-teens losing their minds, screaming and crying at the same time. No, it wasn't the Bieb's faux quiff, his man-child sculptured body and slightly slouched posture.

» There's definitely something infectious about Hathaithep Theerathada. And, no, this had nothing to do with the fact that our meeting took place in a swanky hospital room where Hathaithep, better known as Suzie, was getting over a dose of flu and a sore throat.
