Sartorial Saturday

So, I decided I deserve a suit sur mesure for my super stamina refraining myself not to have one since eternity.

The connotation about suits in the region where I live (Bangkok, Saigon and around) is not as same as in other places where the weather is reasonable or unreasonable cold most of the time. 

Because here, we sweat and tan!

Suits here are more of banking business, office or state-own company-like, serious ladies not at all fashionable or chic :))

Anyway, enough of excuses. I had my suit made by a super cool tailor in town and I am more than happy I 'm now suited up in Super 150's Made in England stripe fabric ^^

Cherry printed shirts with red garter belts should be the uniform of secretaries 

in the making

I chose my fabric but you can always ask for his advice. The best result is when you're not in a hurry!

We're in Asia, so remember, don't rush and be calm ;))

That was my 2nd fitting and everything was perfect so I took home a jacket, a pair of trousers, a skirt and 5 shirts ^_^

May I introduce Mr.A Song the tailor who makes the best suits in town!!!

This is where you can find his shop. Be careful not to enter other A Song shops because his whole family are tailors and they all share the name A Song from their father!

Besides his kind smile, he can also communicate in English, French and Thai. What can you ask for more from your tailor?

Here are his contact details:

Address: 8 Soi Charoen Krung 38, Bangkok, Thailand

(near the Mandarin Oriental Hotel)

Tel: 02 630 9708 or 02 235 3190 or 02 235 2753

Jatujak weekend market

I had a real blast this weekend having friends coming over and shopping together ^^

Jatujak market opens at weekends and sells EvErythIng, from copy to original, so you should be prepared!

We are in Thailand, so the first thing is Buddha, all sizes, all shapes 

colourful watches, I like the square black with purple strap but of course I didn't buy :)) 

Red Bull, Heineken, Tiger, Starbucks.... tank tops

see the empty spaces on the wall? those thongs 're in our bags!!!

bargaining is part of the game. I tagged along with this girl because she is the champion!!!!

Clothes are fun to look at but you should know the quality to make your decision. (but don't expect silk when you pay for the price of polyester)

she even brought her hand fan!!!

me and our shopping bags

I don't belong to the background hahaha

having lunch right at the market

Roasted chicken and its spicy dipping sauce

little spicy green papaya salad for me

onion and pork sausage salad

spicy minced pork salad

longan drink

noodles with chicken

the key rings shop and its owner

Braided leather belts, my recent weakness

This silver shop is amazing!!!!

nature inspired costume jewelry

Since there are quite many copied products in this market, to avoid buying something fake, go for local designs. 

Thai jewelry has very interesting designs thanks to their rich culture. However, prepare to clean your silver stuff more often because the quality of silver you get in this market and due to the price level, it is not sterling silver.

For jewelry with semi precious stones, you should know a thing or two about stones, otherwise, its hard to decide whether a piece is real or not. Also, most of the time it is all apparently in good condition but after some wear, the stone just come off nicely. Ah!

Our Happy hours started from 9am to 4h30pm ^^

Have a great week ahead. I'll show you my super finds next time!
