Tropicana Magazine Jul-Aug 2017 #114: Bold & Beautiful

EDITOR’S NOTE
Bold & Beautiful
This issue of Tropicana is chockful of colour befitting the
season. Cover personality, Ricky Tjandra epitomises that
ethos. Fun and with an infectious sense of joie de vivre, this
young entrepreneur exudes confidence and charm.
The ardent traveller will surely be taken places. From
wandering the vibrant food markets of Barcelona, and the
glamourous American Bar at Savoy London, to exploring the
undulating lava fields of Hawaii, we
take you on a myriad of adventures
with each turn of the page.
While classics are the cornerstone
of any wardrobe, there’s something
to be said for the fun and fanciful.
Whether to adorn or to bask in, the
offerings featured here ooze luxury at
every turn, and watches and jewelry
add a pop of colour to any ensemble.
On the home front, a treasure
trove of audacious decor from
flamboyant designers will appeal to
those with a discerning taste. Find
out how vivid vignettes detract from
boring beige and breathe life into any
living space.
It’s mid year and time to take stock
of what you had set out to achieve
for the year 2017. If the list is still as
long as when you first started out in
January, time to throw out the dull
and drab, and embrace the bold and
the beautiful!
