 Everyone came out in full force for Seoul Fashion Week, from the models to the magazine owners, they all had detailing that set their outfit apart from the rest. 

Some ladies and gentlemen wore sharp tailored suits with accessories that made it them look classy and edgy. 

Others mixed and matched materials and prints to give a striking outfit that would leave everyone who saw them with vivid memories, check out part 2 of my series on Seoul Fashion Week street style.

Another weekend in Daegu...check out the pictures! :)

Weekends in downtown Daegu can be described with one word - BUSY. The streets that weave together, mapping out the downtown maze fill up with people. A sea of humanity moves from one shop to the next, one eatery to the next, one location to the next. It is never ending.

Yet despite the swelling crowds of people, someone always manages to stand out.

Wether it's a quirky sense of style or simply confidence these people I managed to capture stood out wonderfully!

Check out the pictures and enjoy the post!

 Hi guys! Here's another outfit details post! During my last trip to Seoul I came across accessories designer Yoolrin and I was immediately impressed by her outfit!

The Mickey Mouse motif is getting quite popular these days and I love the way she's styled this popular trend and added her own flair to it!

The tattoos and punky silver accessories are the cherry on top of this outfit with the Mickey Mouse bucket hat giving the outfit an understated sense of cool.

I don't know why but all I seem to wear lately is black and/or white. Don't get me wrong I have a plethora of colours in my wardrobe (mostly in my wardrobe back in London) but I just can't seem to stop wearing these two colours on most days. Even as I write this I'm wearing a mandarin collared Thai silk shirt and Topshop Leigh jeans - all black - I just can't seem to help myself!

I had the pleasure of heading down to Busan for a 3 day weekend where I met a fellow photographer Kim JaeHyun of the awesome street style blog Echeveau.  I was very fortunate as he showed me one of the places he goes to to take pictures and in the couple of hours I was with him I managed to get some good pictures!

Check them out!

Here's part 2! I'll have a more detailed account of the flea market uploaded soon. 

I love flea markets, it gives you a chance to meet new people and talk to designers about the products they've designed, you get to ask them about the thought process behind their lines (obviously harder for me to do over here but you get my gist lool).

If you haven't already seen Part 1 check it out!

Enjoy!

This is the lazy girl's guide to tightening the elastic on that loose skirt! It's also a guide for those, who, like me cannot sew very well. Guys, I'm rubbish at sewing but I wanted to tighten the skirt regardless haha.

Read on for the How To!

I recently made an online purchase at Choies clothing and amongst the things I ordered was a high waisted "leather" midi skirt, I'd been looking for one for a while. 

So imagine my delight when I stumbled across this skirt on Choies, I happily ordered it and was grossly disappointed when it finally came. I'd, as I discovered when I tried it on, overestimated the size of my waist (it looks like I've lost an inch since coming to Korea).

Here I was with a skirt that was too big and I didn't want to return it (returning things online is too much hassle for me, plus it's never worked out very well for me when I have tried), I decided to take matters into my own hands.

Today was a rainy day in Daegu. The hues of blue and grey in the atmosphere gradually became more pronounce, signalling the arrival of a downpour. Today was a mixture of umbrellas, summer clothes and statement pieces, and, as usual I was observing through my camera lens. Take a look!

As most of you wonderful people know, I've been living in Korea for the past 2 months and despite the odd hiccup here and there I am loving it over here! So I thought I'd put together a little something on my thoughts about the fashion here, based on what I've seen so far. 

I'll start with my favorite guys, they all (at least most of them) know the value of a good haircut. We all know how our hair can add that extra something to an outfit and these guys have impeccably styled hair. It's carefully coiffed, gelled, combed and groomed to perfection. 

The outfits are well put together, you have your gentlemen who emphasize clean lines, a good structured jacket and shoes that pull the whole outfit together. They have this way of putting together a classic old-world look with a modern twist.

Another week in Daegu City...

As usual I spent the weekend roaming around Daegu, here are some of the good looking people I convinced to let me take pictures of them. Check it out!

Outside Gyeongbokgung palace, next to the outer building were some cherry blossom trees. That made for the perfect backdrop to an impromptu photo shoot. 

I hope you guys enjoy the pictures!

This weekend I found myself in Hongdae, it's the Brick Lane of Seoul. 

Everybody is about expressing their own quirky sense of individuality and not being ashamed of it, Hongdae is not about fitting in. 

I managed to get a few pictures of these well dressed locals whilst I soaked up the atmosphere and shopped like I haven't done for the past two years je ne regrette rien...

Check out the pictures below!

This guy was absolutely hilarious!

Yoon, one half of Tokyo’s ultimate power fashion couple. Even if you don't know who she is you've undoubtedly seen her work.

If there’s one thing I love about her it’s that she is a jewellery maximalist, something I am not.

Born in South Korea and raised in the States she met her now husband in university, Verbal (of M-FLO and the Teriyaki Boys), and they both moved to Japan.

Rather than confining herself to just being a rapper’s wife she became his stylist, basically upgrading him from someone who copied stereotypical hip hop fashion to someone who sets trends and looks incredibly unique, with an offbeat cool. Later she became his partner in their successful design empire – Ambush designs – where they design everything from CD albums to high quality, unique jewellery that distinctly reflects the style and culture of Tokyo and it’s inhabitants.

What I love about Yoon is the fact that she is such a creative force and every piece of jewellery she designs is unique in its own way but at the same time you can see that each piece within a collection has a common motif that brings everything under one theme, one steady influence that lead to the collection in the first place.

The Ambush line started in 2008 started with the now classic fluorescent POW necklaces and rings as well as the metal eyeball barbell rings.

'EYE GOT BALLZ' RING

King POW! chain

Their latest collection, aptly titled NU ORDER, is old school hip hop meets medieval knight. The jewellery is excessive and in your face bringing you back to the days where Flavor Flav used to rock that huge clock around his neck and when kids used to steal car hood ornaments, wearing them as trophies around their necks. It's that hint of Game of Thrones and The Seventh Seal that gives each piece in the collection that edgy, unique look.
Peep some of the NU ORDER collection below.

STONE CHOKER

GORGET NECKLACE

MEDALLION 3 

CROSS CHOKER

Having moved to Korea last month I am understandably lacking in the accessories department at the moment, I brought one watch and one pair of earrings with me, my reasoning being that I would find tons of unique jewellery I liked.

Sadly that hasn’t happened yet, I’ve been to shops and browsed but nothing seems to catch my eye, it’s all too pretty, too girly, too similar and too bloody glittery.

I want something that reminds me of Ambush and looks tough and unique. Heck I don’t mind if it attracts attention, I get enough of that these days anyway, literally I get stared at when I go EVERYWHERE, I guess that’s part of being a foreigner in Korea.

With that being said, I think it’s time for me to well and truly step out of the box and embrace some more interesting pieces of jewellery, not just because they’re outlandish or because I’m desperate to stand out but because I think they are well and truly unique and also because I actually like them.

Thanks for reading :)

Today was a typical Sunday! We wandered the streets of Daegu after church looking for food and uniquely dressed people. Here's what we found:

This one was taken around Yeongnam University loool. 

This is the cutest couple I've seen so far

This guy's classic outfit completely drew me in, the tailored cut and
the way his girlfriend complemented his outfit

Matching jackets ^^

The bucket hat is epic

Thank you for reading!
