Shoes from Salvatore Ferragamo
I realised there’s an interesting phenomenon in Singapore’s cafe scene recently. Increasingly, more and more cafes are being housed in obscure office buildings located far away from the heart of the city.
Jw is an avid coffee lover and he felt that like Papa Palheta, Loysel Toy’s coffee is excellent!
Here I was, looking innocent and demure before I gobbled up the cake ravenously. 😛
After that, we ventured to the second floor of the building, where Raw Kitchen is now located.

I finally managed to photograph the other items that I brought back from my recent Bangkok trip.
Sorry to have kept you ladies waiting for so long! To make it up to you, I’ve prepared a special sale post for you.
In this post, you will see not 1…. not 2…. but a total of 3 items for sale!
The best part is, they’re all going at S$26 each!
What better way than to start the weekend right? 🙂
1) Vintage Candy Stripes – SOLD – and
2) Green High Waist Shorts – AVAILABLE –
Vintage Candy Stripes is a lovely casual top made of polyester. I like how it goes well with practically anything. You can tuck it into a pair of shorts, like the Green High Waist Shorts here, which is made of very good quality thick cotton material (comes with a side zip and side pockets too).
I was attracted to this pair of shorts because I first saw a similar pair at Zara retailing at a much higher price. The workmanship is of top-notch quality. Absolutely no regrets.
You can also tuck the top out for a more laid-back weekend look.
3) Canary Breeze – SOLD –
It is made of soft, slightly sheer chiffon material and comes in a cheerful yellow hue. The front of the top can also be tied loosely (as shown below) or tied into a bow depending on your preference.
I especially love how the top flows, bringing out the softness of your silhouette.
The unique shoulder straps only serve to enhance the femininity of the female form. Gorgeous isn’t it?
As usual, there is only one of each for sale to ensure exclusivity.
If you’re interested in any of the above items, do drop me an e-mail at regina.chow@gmail.com to place your orders!
International shipping is possible but the shipping cost will have to be borne by the buyer. 🙂
Please note that I will not be responsible for any loss of items via normal mail postage. All goods sold are non-refundable.

Arbite was a chance encounter for us. We were on our way to visit Grace and my God-daughter when we decided to make a pit-stop at Serangoon Gardens to grab a quick bite.
And that was when my eyes lit up. It is just the type of restaurant that I like. The decor was simple and white-washed, not unlike the usual Scandinavian style of interior design.
My only grouse was that we were so full at the end of our main courses, we had no more room for dessert! I really wanted to try My Wife’s Chocolate Cake, so that gives me an excuse to drag JW there with me again! 
That’s not much of a grouse, is it? LOL. I will certainly be back soon!
Tiered Ruffled Dress in Cream from ClubCouture
Just in case you were wondering why our summer style photos didn’t seem to reflect the grandeur of the hotel, alas, it only looks beautiful from afar and its interior gave us nothing to shout about. Silly us thought we could somehow incorporate the building’s visage into our photos while capturing the beauty of our clothes!
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. 😉
Crocheted Dress in Pink from ClubCoutureWe 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.
The weather this summer has been a little unpredictable. It can be scorching hot today but raining cats and dogs the very next day.
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.
2) Chiffon Tops – Flared Chiffon Top in Pink
3) Creamy Whites – Tiered ruffled dress in cream

Renowned for its wide selection and variety of merchandise, you can find practically anything under the sun at Jatuchak, ranging from ornaments, pets, household items to apparel.
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.
Address:
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?
Yellow suede heels from Zara
Gold hobo bag from Gucci
There are many floating markets in Bangkok, but the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, situated about 100km southwest of Bangkok, is the most famous of them all.
After what seemed like an eternity, we finally found ourselves on the boat to the floating market.
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!
And finally, to reward you lovelies for reading till this point, I am putting up the top in the above photo for sale!
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.
E-mail me at regina.chow@gmail.com if you’ll like to purchase it. I only have 1 piece!
