Anyhow, we did capture someone’s attention. While taking photos of ourselves outside the hotel, we caught the attention of a gentleman who happened to be the owner of Gaia restaurant. He thought we were tourists at first, but his friendliness didn’t wane even after he found out that we were just two vain Singaporean girls engrossed in cam whoring.

He very kindly offered to take photos of us and then invited us into his restaurant for a drink on the house! We were too embarrassed to take up his offer of coffee so we settled for iced water instead. 😉

We were so touched by his warmth and hospitality, we decided to get his namecard so that we could dine in his restaurant on another occasion when we were more appropriately attired.

By now, you would probably have guessed that the colour blocking trend is also my favourite summer trend because it is so easy to style and the cheerful kaleidoscope of colours never fails to make my day.

Here’re some of the summer styles that I personally dig.

1) Crochet – Crocheted Dress in Pink

I paired my dress with mustard yellow suede heels from Zara.

Here’s a cute candle-holder in the style of Cinderella’s carriage that I bought to decorate my home:

It’s Happened To Be A Closet (I have to admit the grammar made me cringe a little) really resembles a closet bursting with clothes. One wouldn’t expect to find a cafe here as it is safely tucked away in an inconspicuous corner on the 2nd floor of this fashion store.

This treasure trove has an intriguing mesh of curiosities, cheerful gerberas , funny looking toys (check out Pinocchio on the shelf!), mis-matched furniture and clothes. We felt like kids, marveling at interesting artifacts in every nook and corner. Honestly, this cafe evokes such a warm, cozy feeling, you almost feel like a guest in a friend’s home.

Somehow, cafes that are linked to fashion labels or stores never do disappoint when it comes to food, especially if they serve Italian cuisine. I still can’t get over how pasta tastes so much better in Bangkok vis-à-vis Singapore or even Italy for that matter. Perhaps Thai spices were added?

We loved the eclectic interior decor so much that we took photos of practically everything in the cafe. There we were, scouting for the perfect angles and clicking away on our cameras.

Even the washroom was not spared. I was so enthralled by it because the entrance looks just like a closet!

Finally, here are our parting shots:

This toy motorcycle reminds me of a toy that I had when I was in primary school. It brings back fond memories as I used to ride all over the house on a similar motorcycle.

It’s Happened To Be A Closet

266/3 Siam Square Soi 3

The mere thought of these colours perk me up instantly, even on days when I feel lethargic or dreary. Do they have the same effect on you too?

Travelling alongside us were many other tourists and visitors from all around the world, armed with their digital and video cameras and trusty hats. Many of them seemed awed by the rustic surroundings and the inhabitants’ way of life. I wonder if the residents here feel like zoo animals since tourists come by the truckloads everyday.

The lively chatter among hawkers drowned out every noise imaginable. It was quite an eye-opening experience! It felt almost similar to being in a wet market in Singapore, although erm… the floating market is certainly a lot wetter. LOL, sorry I know I’m lame.

Plus, you can find anything and everything here, ranging from fruits, cooked food, to hats and clothes. I bought my yellow hat here as well!

You’ll be getting a brand new piece of course. This top is made of silky satin material. What I love about it is the cute peter pan collar and the rainbow polka dots which make this top incredibly cute. The seam in the middle of the top is actually made up of 6 overlapping cloth panels, giving it a 3-dimensional feel. 😉 You can easily pair it with shorts, like I did, or tuck it in a high-waisted skirt for work.

Yes, that’s him, crappy as always. He has been very busy lately, so it was wonderful that we were able to spend some quality time together.

We first started dating on 5th July eons ago. The amazing thing is, our relationship gets better as we age, just like good wine. As with all other couples, we have our differences. However, these differences add dimension to our relationship and are complementary to our similarities, however few similarities there are between us. 🙂

He is everything that I am not, but that is precisely why I love him.

It can also be dark, edgy and mysterious, as depicted in Valentino’s Fall 2011 Collection:

Whichever style you choose, it is without a doubt that lace is the quintessential fabric for all seasons.

If you recall, I did my take on the fresh, feminine style some weeks ago here.

Now, here’s my take on the darker, edgier style. I should have changed into a fiercer pair of heels before I rushed out of my house. That would have made the look more complete, don’t you think?
