Everything's coming up mangos
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 25/05/2018
» It's mango season at Big Mango and for diehard fans, there is possibly no better time to be alive. Currently ongoing at Le Meridien Bangkok, one can immerse oneself in mango mania this summer with a pairing of mango-themed afternoon tea and massage. Priced at 1,500 baht for a Mango Inspirations Afternoon tea set and a 45-minute mango oil body massage for two, Mango Mystique is one of the sweetest deals we've seen on the tea circuit -- since that price alone usually just gets you one tea set (for the tea set alone the price is 800 baht).

From the Big Apple to the Big Mango

» It's all been there done that on the Cannes Lion advertising award circuit for Kantapon Metheekul. The young creative executive has won many awards, been featured in several publications and has illustrated for a handful of high street and luxury fashion brands -- but that's not his true calling. As someone who loved to draw since he was five, it was only natural that Kantapon's veins throbbed to become a full-time artist -- to draw his own creations and not what others briefed him to. After three years of working for advertising agencies, he packed his bags and headed to New York to become an artist.

Beyond the bag

» Women (and some men too, to be honest) go hysterical for Hermès' Birkin bag. There is no denying that the French maison's handbag is one of the most globally recognised icons and coveted items, but mention of their furniture line may draw a few blank looks or two. There are no shortages of accessory or fashion houses that also cover interior living grounds, be it American classic authority Ralph Lauren Home or the Italian peacock that is Versace Home. But what exactly is the Hermès aesthetic and what is so enticing about it? How does it encapsulate its high-end luxuriance when their art direction seems to be less is more?

In fact, this fur ball probably has a life that is better than most humans, because he is a permanent guest at the resplendent Le Bristol Paris. Appropriately assuming the position of Hotel Cat, the Birman fits the whole picture like a glove. Also known as a Sacred Cat of Burma, this purebred completes the prestigious hotel with its regal posture, beautiful white fur and, as the establishment's luxury positioning would have it, a Goyard collar.

» Paris may not be as famed for the art of afternoon tea as the UK, but that doesn't mean it's not worth your while. If you're in the City of Lights and have a craving for some top-notch tipple time, make it at Cafe Antonia, housed inside the palatial hotel Le Bristol. The cafe may be named after Queen Marie Antoinette (her mother called her Antonia as a child), but crowds from all circles seem to be drawn to this airy eatery that offers drinks, sandwiches and afternoon tea. There's not even that many tourists, but rather, a large number of locals, be it office men, fashionable Parisians or senior women who come for their delightful high tea sets.

Austin during her acceptance speech last month in Paris. There was good humour and chuckles rang throughout the Unesco House, but there was also an underlying distress that provides a portal to understanding what sort of tribulations female scientists must go through.
