10 Great Shopping Destinations in Bangkok

My 5-day vacation in Bangkok, Thailand did not end when our plane took off from the Land of Smiles.  The vacation was not left forgotten nor was just being stored in my memory.  It was shared, it was made known to many. I have had the best chance to impart my happy experiences to a lot of people and most especially gave a guide on where to shop - for fashion items - in Bangkok.  Having been to Thailand for the fourth time, see HERE, there's still more to see, more to experience, more to taste, more to explore, more to discover but I felt that it was the absolute time to publicize, to promote, to broadcast how amazing Thailand is in my own little ways.

Sun Star featured my trip in their Shopping Bag section on November 28, 2014 and entitled it as 

BANGKOK SHOPPING DIARY

Thank you to Ms. Kara.

The photos below were the shots that made it on print.

Here's a recap of the 10 great shopping destinations I have explored and enjoyed during my October 2014 vacation in Bangkok, Thailand.

1.) If you want to experience grandeur and be in many places at one time, check out TERMINAL 21

2.) Siam Paragon houses the premium and luxury goods and one of the biggest malls in Asia, see more HERE.

3.) CentralWorld is a mega-shopping plaza in Bangkok and is the 6th largest shopping complex in the world and it offers one of the most exciting shopping experiences in Bangkok, see more HERE.

4.) ZEN Department Store at Central World is a seven-level megastore catering especially to trendy, young-at-heart shoppers and to those who appreciate world class style and fashion, see more HERE.

5.) Platinum Fashion Mall is Thailand's largest wholesale and retail fashion mall and it is like an indoor version of Chatuchak Weekend Market, see more HERE.

6.) Victory Monument for daylight street market and anything affordable yet stylish clothing.

7.) MBK Shopping Center is an eight-level shopping mall known as Bangkok's most legendary shopping mall to both locals and tourists, see HERE.  

8.)  Siam Center The Ideapolis is now dubbed as the Fashion Mall for the seriously cool, see more HERE.

Along side this mall is 9.) Siam Discovery.

10.) Siam Square is a shopping and entertainment area in the Siam District of Bangkok. It has been newly renovated and it now houses the most kawaii themed cafe I have ever seen yet, Hello Kitty House - Cafe, Spa and Store in 1.

'Til my next Bangkok escapade!

Opposites Attract

Opposites attract, would you agree?

The phrase was the exact title of the feature I once had in Sun Star newspaper... last year.  It took me again this long to post about this feature because of endless priorities that never cease to surprise me.  Anyway, this contribution that I did for Sun Star is dear to me mainly because (1) I offered the concept and was instantly approved and (2) because black-and-white is my all-time favorite color combination and working on about it is such a gigantic pleasure.  Last fall-winter 2014/2015, black and white was one of the trends of the season, and this time for fall-winter 2015/2016, Graphic Black and White in particular, as seen HERE, is again in trend.  Scroll down to see the unpublished photos for the black-and-white concept.

Newspaper Contributions - Sigh Styles Concepts for Sun Star

I have done feature styling for a local newspaper here in Cebu City since 2013.  Familiar with Sun Star? I have had several styling contributions for the newspaper's various concepts for the Shopping Bag section. Thanks to Ms. Kara for giving me umpteenth opportunities to showcase my talents, my products, my online shops and also allowing me to promote talents of other creative individuals who I have collaborated with.  

Here's a throwback of the features I have done for Sun Star's concepts:

1. Remember my first ever feature for 2013 Color of the Year: EMERALD feature, see HERE

and HERE.

2. On hair style: THE BRAID feature as seen HERE and HERE.

3. About fashion trend, reviving GRUNGE FASHION of the 90's, click  HERE and HERE.

4. For event styling, DRESSES AND LOOK FOR GRADUATION DAY, see more HERE.

Since my head is always in a dynamic, restless mode, in search for (and willing to be in action) anything creative, especially relating to fashion,  I had the audacity to suggest several concepts for Shopping Bag.  And my requests were never turned down.  Below is a list of the styling concepts I did for Sun Star.

1. PLUS SIZE Fashion - because I believe that fashion is not for the skinny only, but for plus sizes too.  See more of this feature in my other blog HERE.

2. Fashion Trends: BOTANICAL PRINTS for SPRING/SUMMER 2014, see more HERE.

3. I volunteered again last 2014 for the COLOR OF THE YEAR: RADIANT ORCHID.  Read the full story and the beautiful collaboration I did for this feature HERE.

As of this writing, I am sort of in hiatus with fashion styling projects.  I am back to personal styling, sharing my fashion tips and spreading the rays of my own fashion advocacy which I call C.L.E.A.N Fashion.  See the side bar of this blog to know what C.L.E.A.N. Fashion means.

I'll post soon my other contributions for Sun Star.

Live in style, everyday!
