The Best Bar in Bangkok: Tep Bar Makes Ya Dong-based Cocktails That Pack a Potent and Playful Punch

It’s my last night in Bangkok and my guide Nemo wants me to see a little of the modern nightlight bar scene. After a quick tour of Chinatown’s food epi-centre we take a tuk-tuk to a nearby neighbourhood that’s becoming known for its hipster bars. “See that alley?” Nemo says, while she’s pointing to a dark rather dodgy looking lane. “The bar I’m taking you to is at the end of that street. It’s a hidden spot. A secret!” She’s not kidding. If you didn’t know about Tep Bar, it’s not a joint you’d just happen upon. We step inside this tiny, two-storied place and we’re suddenly in this speakeasy scene out of a movie. In the middle of the candle-lit room is a Thai xylophone band. We take a seat and take a look at the cocktail menu, which is themed around ya dong (potent herbal liquors that are usually sold at street stalls.) I choose the Myree, which is billed as being “light and foamy” with a double-kick of ya dong.  It’s kinda how I’m feeling as my 36 hours in this magnetic city come to a close.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
