    » At Rosewood Bangkok, teatime gets a bit of a shake-up and is not served in your typical tiered manner. Both Lakorn European Brasserie's manager and executive pastry chef, Florian Couteau, are French, and hence are eager to bring a Gallic touch to the afternoon tea experience. Situated on the 7th floor of this shiny new hotel, the contemporary venue with discreet Thai touches is a light-filled, airy space that lets guests enjoy delicacies with a gorgeous view of Bangkok's cityscape.

    A penchant for eclecticism

    » Angela Missoni has an instinctively observant eye befitting a creative director who has helmed her family's fashion brand to global regard for over 20 years. Within the first few seconds of stepping into the new Missoni store which has just opened at Central Embassy, she is quick to catch the discord within the flagship's ambience: the distasteful black tape holding down speaker wires, a hat on a stand angled at a disagreeable position and this writer's purposely mismatched earrings.

    » Good things don't last forever. But if we're lucky, they morph into something new that carries with it the spirit of what made the original so great.

    » As the force behind Sretsis grows from a free-spirited designer into a mature woman, one thing has changed about the way she dresses: her shoes are no longer all-baring.

    Sheltered paradise

    » One of the greatest things in life is to be able to do anything, anywhere, at your own pace while on holiday. I may have the extreme in mind (when you can afford to wake up at 3pm, begin your day at 5pm or get a decent slice of culture all within a short walk away), but if convenience and not having to catch some weird local sickness are part of the package, then why not, right? Of course, not all of us may be free to travel during the high season, when there are no storms to put a damper on our getaway. But even if money cannot buy impeccable weather, it can still buy you an exquisite holiday experience and pictures, if you just know where to look.

    A heart-racing time at the track

    » Locals say The Fullerton is where the best view is when it comes to the Formula 1 races held in Singapore, but, to be honest, a 360 view has nothing on being near the vroom-ing roar of engines, right at the heart of the happening. Unless you were to throw a party for 40 in your suite's veranda, it's probably a better idea to splash on getting actual tickets to the event than paying five times the usual room rates. For a first-timer to this whole night-race experience and F1 weekend in Singapore, there is nothing quite as infectious as the collective gasps and cheers every time a race car zooms by or how one derives guilty pleasure when witnessing a crash.

    Bed of roses

    » Affordably priced tea pairing returns to Le Meridien Bangkok. Following their previous pairing of a mango-themed afternoon tea and massage, this second edition of the promotion goes rosy by taking on a more pink-toned colour scheme. The Rose Afternoon tea set is priced at 1,700 baht, which is slightly higher than the previous mango set, but considering that you get a tea set as well as a 45-minute rose oil massage for two, there isn't much to complain about. In fact, the upcoming festive (and gold-flanked) pairing they've got in store for the end of the year is likely to increase in price too, so don't miss this deal.

    Nothing standard about it

    » Having worked as the assistant of hospitality for trailblazer Barry Sternlicht when the Starwood empire was just getting launched, Amar Lalvani was right at the birth of the whole "cool lifestyle hotel" movement as it came into fruition 20 years ago. "I was there since the beginning and I loved it," the California-born hotelier recalls. "I didn't seek it, but when I saw it, it encapsulated everything I liked to do so I just stuck with it."

    » 'Do you like The Beatles?" is one of the first questions Maribel asks me during our consultation before the treatment starts. "Well, even if you don't, you don't have a choice. You'll just have to listen to it anyway," she quips.
