How Ariana Grande Went From Tragedy to the Best Summer of Her Life
This summer, Grande gave us the most riveting celebrity romance in recent history, a triumphant musical return and chart-topping album, and one of the best VMAs performances of the last decade. In a summer that also saw Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin and Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra get engaged at the drop of a hat, Grande's whirlwind engagement with Pete Davidson was the one that truly entranced us. And while summer technically isn’t over just yet, it's safe to say Ariana Grande had a better summer than anyone else.
What high-end Chinese shoppers buy in Tokyo
Japanese cosmetics and beauty products, niche brands, luxury items – and lots of them...
No longer simply binge buyers, Chinese shoppers in Tokyo have become more deliberate and savvy about their shopping, favouring unique Japanese brands and quality international luxury items – and always looking for a bargain. While some Chinese customers may prefer to buy from established Japanese brands such as Issey Miyake, Yohji Yamamoto, Adore, Tomorrowland and Hyke, they do not eschew international brands. Major luxury watch and jewellery brands, including Rolex, Mikimoto, Tasaki, Bulgari, Tiffany, Patek Philippe, Chaumet and Graff, are also popular. Shiei Kimura, originally from Hong Kong, has been in Japan for 28 years, the past 12 of which she has spent working for the flagship Isetan store in Shinjuku, Tokyo. First providing service to international customers at the store’s tax free counter, she now works in VIP customer service, helping the high-spending foreign customers who have become more common in recent years. Each day she is sent to different sections of the store to provide Chinese or English interpretation and other services to these customers.
The crazy rich Asians of Hong Kong and what they spend big on
Hong Kong has 93 US dollar billionaires (compared to Singapore’s 44) and being a millionaire is nothing special these days. Hong Kong has a million people with liquid assets of HK$1 million (US$127,300) or more, and their numbers are swelling by about 15 per cent annually, according to a Citibank report. The cash is certainly out there, as a scroll down Forbes’ annual rich list will attest. Hong Kong is home to nine of Asia’s 50 richest families, it shows – not bad for a city of about 7.5 million people. Meanwhile, Hong Kong’s 50 richest individuals are collectively worth an estimated US$307 billion.

Rajasthan's Jawai Leopard Camp - luxury safari
Based on the idea of a moveable camp, it's all canvas and metal with a black, white and red colour scheme inspired by the local Rabari herdsmen's outfits and their striking scarlet turbans. Stunning black and white photographs of leopards and shepherds are everywhere. Lounging and dining take place in two open-sided communal tents overlooking the rocky Aravalli hills. The guest tents are a short walk away - after nightfall and before dawn (more of which later) you'll be guided back and forth by lantern light.
Rates start at 59,000 rupees (HK$6,820) per tent, plus taxes and a conservation contribution of 1,000 rupees per person, per night. The rate includes all meals, two wilderness drives a day, Wi-fi and laundry. For more details, go to www.sujanluxury.com/jawai.
Indonesia’s Cempedak Island resort
From S$450 (HK$2,500) per night plus taxes for a Sea View villa; S$95 per person per day extra for full board. Cempedak – the common name for the tree known to Latin speakers as Artocarpus integer – is a new private island resort off the east coast of Indonesia’s Bintan Island. It is from the same team behind nearby Nikoi Island, another Robinson Crusoe-esque set up.

The Crazy Rich Asians guide to Singapore
Just as New York was to Sex and the City, so Singapore is to Crazy Rich Asians .
The Lion City doesn’t just hold its own among a cast that includes Michelle Yeoh Choo Kheng, Constance Wu, Awkwafina and Jimmy O. Yang, it’s a veritable scene stealer. Although the film, based on a 2013 novel by Kevin Kwan about super-wealthy Chinese Singaporeans and their ultra lavish lifestyles – and currently showing in Hong Kong cinemas – was shot mostly in Kuala Lumpur, Singapore shines in a series of panoramic shots and glamorous location close-ups.
