MB&F LM Perpetual EVO BLUE
It’s time for its green predecessor to retire because the new Legacy Machine Perpetual EVO BLUE is what we’re currently obsessing over. We all know that the timepieces produced by MB&F are genuinely revolutionary. The Horological Machine No.11 is a prime example of this, with its cool spaceship-like design inspired by architecture.
Recently, the Swiss watchmaker launched a new interpretation of its award-winning Legacy Machine Perpetual. This new edition comes with a stunning icy blue dial in a titanium case, which is a sight to behold. Besides the gorgeous light blue colour, the signature flying balance wheel is another fantastic feature. It also comes with a white rubber strap and a titanium folding buckle, allowing for the smoothest wearing experience. – Tipapa Chandarasrivongs, Content Writer
N°1 de Chanel Lip and Cheek Balm
Chanel Beauty has released new shades of their iconic N°1 de Chanel Lip and Cheek Balm. It’s a balm enriched with red camellia oil, aiding skin hydration. This product can be used on both the lips and cheeks. Now, the latest release comes in 3 new colours: Ardent Brick (brick red), Vibrant Coral (orange), and Purple Energy (Purple).
When it comes to the application technique, if you’re not an expert in using brushes, I recommend using your fingers. Gently tap on the product and spread it into the skin. This balm is pretty pigmented, so a little goes a long way. If any remaining colours are left on my fingertips, I like to dab it on my nose for that sun-kissed look. – Pannatorn Tamnipanon, Senior Writer
Maison Kitsuné Spring Summer 2024
The latest collection of this French brand takes inspiration from the things around us and encourages us to explore the city of Paris. This new line features stunning clothes and bags that were designed by observing the daily lives of Parisians. Maison Kitsuné is already known for producing adorable and lively clothing. However, their new collection features an added touch of allure due to its increase in denim. Notably, their classic tote bags are eye-catching as they’ve replaced the usual cotton-canvas fabric with two contrasting colours of denim. It’s the ideal accessory to enhance any outfit. – Aekkachai Angkulthivakorn, Managing Editor
Swarovski x Disney The Tea Party collectible
Swarovski and Disney have collaborated once again to unveil their latest jewellery and home décor collection for Spring-Summer 2024. This collaboration draws inspiration from Disney’s Alice in Wonderland and pays tribute to beloved characters like Alice, the Mad Hatter, the White Rabbit, the Cheshire Cat, and the Caterpillar, among others. The Tea Party collectible is my favourite piece, which captures the essence of Wonderland in one stunning centrepiece. It took 277 hours to perfect and features 44,500 precision-cut crystals. This limited edition consists of only 200 pieces worldwide, making it a true collector’s item. – T.C., Content Writer
Avatar: The Last Airbender Live Action
Avatar: The Last Airbender is an old American animated series that first came out in 2005 and looks half-Japanese. Recently, this popular series was adapted into live-action and was released on Netflix. So, without a doubt, there’s loads of hype to it. Even though I haven’t finished watching the new series as I’m writing this article, I am secretly excited because the overall vibe is executed really well.
As for the plot, there’s little to say since they’re following the original story. However, we can applaud the special effects and CGI as they are done in a way that honours the original. As for the 2010 film adaptation, The Last Airbender, let’s just act like it never happened. – P.T., Senior Writer
Tissot PR516
As the vintage watch trend is still going strong, Tissot’s latest release pays homage to their vintage model from the 70s. This updated version retains all the original functions of a watch that is ideal for ruggedness and outdoor activities. However, the watch has been given a stylish makeover, with particular attention paid to the three new colour options for the dial, which include black, blue, and black with a gold band around the bezel and strap. The Tissot PR516 is perfect for both a formal and casual look. – A.A., Managing Editor
