Dream: Wardrobe for our Phuket trip (in my dreams)

We are going on a holiday to Phuket!!
Counting to holidays gives me a tingle and I'm really excited about this one.
It's been more than half a year since our honeymoon and we could really use a break.

We have never been to Phuket before and can't wait to be there on it's beautiful beaches and glorious blue seas. Oh to just lie there and relax!

Researching on Phuket also gave me a couple of inspirations fashion wise. First thing you need on a beach holiday would be a bikini right? Thus I bought this gorgeous bikini from Seafolly!

It's a little more expensive than any swimwear I have ever bought but I was thinking of it as more of an investment, seeing that the only bikini I have was bought more than 10 years ago (YIKES!!!!)

So I started thinking about what would be great to wear on the trip, to make it picture perfect.

Love: Shinzi Katoh and Young Hearts

Zakka lovers alert!

Famous Zakka artist Shinzi Katoh has collaborated with Young Hearts, the lingerie line, to produce a special limited edition collection of home wear and pajamas!

That's right, you can finally buy and wear Shinzi Katoh designs in Singapore!

I was so thrilled to discover this collaboration in Intimate Closet, a store that carries Young Hearts among other lingerie brands and I knew I had to get a set even though I don't wear PJs.

Isn't this just adorable?? I got a set that is a short-sleeved top and shorts in my favourite A Little Red Riding Hood design. They also have the Cheri and Cinderella series. I just have this thing for Little Red Riding Hood, especially Shinzi Katoh's. Now when you buy a set, it comes with a matching little eco drawstring bag where you can keep your precious set in.

A closer look at the pretty little bag.

All ready to go!

Look at the adorable little details. Who could be afraid of this cute little wolf?

I'm a really skinny little person and the smallest size they had was medium, I haven't tried the set myself (couldn't bear to wear it heehee) but hey home wear is supposed to be loose fitting and comfy aint it?

Also as an extra treat, when you buy any set you are entitled to buy his other merchandise at 40% off!! I didn't manage to take any photos in the store but there were an iPhone 4S cover (only one design, a pouch, a card holder and a large tote bag.

I picked the tote bag.

There are 3 designs and I picked the classic red and white polka-dotted one. It's really roomy and great for shopping.

Love: Collection 101 from The Closet Lover

Cool! The ticker above says we have been married 100 days as of 17 Oct 2011. Honestly it didn't feel that long but it is October now, a good 3 months from July so I guess yeah, time flies.

Anyway, this post is not about marriage. I want to deviate from my usual sharings about weddings and home and share with you about a fabulous collection of clothes from a fabulous blogshop The Closet Lover!

Briefly about The Closet Lover:
This pretty blogshop on Livejournal is operated by two sister Brianna and Bertilla who have a mad love of clothes, accessories and polka dots! (my kind of girls). I have the honour of knowing Brianna who's really great fun to be with and through her I am slowly cultivating a love for clothes and style!

They had just launched their 101st collection (yes imagine! 101!! wow!!) and I want to share some of my drool list. Their 100th collection was celebrated with much fanfare and sold out in record time. (Why didn't I think to share them here then, doofus?!)

Below are photos taken from their sneaks album on Facebook and beautifully captured by Wilson Chua @ Androids in Boots. The lovely model is Constance Lau.

Love the colour of this top and the crochet ends are such a unique detail!

You can always depend on a printed top to brighten up and add a touch of fun to any outfit. The tiny hearts on this top are just adorable!

Cream eyelet shorts. How perfectly dainty. Great for days when you want to be dressed for hot weather and are tired of ordinary t-shirts and shorts. Pair with a pretty top like the fluttery hearts top above and you're good to go for a full day of shopping or high tea!

Love this ensemble. Perfect for the office. I think you can get away with the skirt's length due to the fact that it's skorts. No accidental exposure!

They also have accessories! Isn't this belt the cutest? Adds the right amount of punch to any outfit. Also available in white, black, jade, camel and blue! So you'll always have one to match any outfit!

This collection will be launching soon so be sure to check out their Livejournal shop regularly so as to not miss out! Their collections sell out super fast so you must be quick! You can also like them on Facebook to get regular updates and exclusive sneak peaks of their lovely clothes.

Check out the rest of the collection here in their sneaks album on Facebook. There are many more lovelies but I am just showcasing my drool list. Oh hubby, when you will sponsor my shopping spree at The Closet Lover??
