[food] PH1b Coffee Bar

As soon as I set up in Bangkok, I found out this cafe on the Internet.

No fancy food, but somehow, it just grabbed my attention.

However, the branch on Phaholyothin is quite far from the BTS station,

so I didn't have a chance to stop by until the Sukhumvit branch has opened recently. 


As the name, PH1b takes coffee really seriously.

With professional coffee maker and freshly brewed coffee beans, 

the cafe is full of nice scent of coffee.

I ordered English Toffee Latte and Apple Crumble.

The taste of my latte is really mild, and the foam is just good.

Easy for people who is not used to strong coffee like me.

The crumble is not bad, and bigger than I imagined. :P

[food] New York Style: BKK Bagel Bakery

As soon as the second month I moved to here, Bangkok, I found out this little bagel bakery.

It serves the real New York-style bagels with a lot of kinds of combinations.


There're about 8 kinds of bagels from plain to onion and cinnamon.

Not only the bagels, but also bagel sandwiches!

The best I tried so far is New Yorker, which is full of chopped liver, green onions and mustard.

This is really really great. One of my favorites!

[style] Camo Fever





























As been seen from many brands and magazines, camouflage is a key point to 2012's fashion.

I also got myself some camo items,

like the tank I wore in pictures and a camo jacket (I'll share it next time).





I'm not sure when camo was on the trend before,

but I think I did own a camo skinny jeans when I was in high school. lol

Actually, it's quite easy to match with; a pair of simple jeans is OK!

Just add some accessories to level up the total look.

[food] A Peace of Mind: Li-bra-ry




As I know, Li-bra-ry is quite popular among people in Bangkok, especially students.

It's located on the alley behind Emporium, Sukhumvit 24.



Li-bra-ry is quiet with nice background music.

People are using their laptops doing papers and studying here.

The space is not crowded, and that's what I like about it.

As the name Li-bra-ry, the shelve is full of English books, free for people to read.



Li-bra-ry provides not only pastry and coffee but also meals and breakfast.

I'd like to try their meal next time.

I ordered Hot Pie (chicken and mushroom stuffing) and Black Tea Latte.

Both tasted OK, not so impressive though.




[makeup] Gamila Secret♡


My friend found out the price of Gamila Secret is much cheaper in Japan than in Taiwan.

At the beginning, I think it's so expensive that I don't really wanna spend my money trying it,

as soon as knowing the price in Japan, I decided to try.

I don't know why I started to collect things about eyeball. 

From necklaces to IPhone cases and tattoo stickers.


[food] Colors of Sweets: 103+ Factory

103+ Factory is located not far from BTS Ari.

The decoration is simple mono tone - black and white.

What's good about it is that they use colors to embellish, 

like flowers, grass and of course those lovely and colorful sweets!


The menu is simple. The volume of the food is not much, and a little bit expensive I think.

It's better to order three or more kinds and share with friends.


However, the desserts here are really awesome!

I've tried the Chocolate Crepe, Thai Chai Crepe, Chocolate Lava Brownie and the Cheese Cake.

As we can see in the photos, the arrangement is also lovely.

What I love about it is the wooden tableware which reminds me of Japan.

Hello there!


Hello! Welcome to Natalie Au Naturel.

I'm Natalie. You can call me Nat.


This is my very first article of this new blog.

I've started blogging since 2004, but I didn't continue because of my laziness.

From today I'll update as more as I can to share the street style of Bangkok.

Oh, of course I'll also share my own. (:

What's more, because I'm totally a foodie, 

especially for pastry, I'll definitely share some cafes I love.


About me and this blog, you guys can check the tabs above the blog.


I think I'll write all the articles mainly in English. Chinese and Japanese are second.


Hope all of you enjoy your stay,

Last but not the least, don't be shy to leave comments to me.
