You're Welcome.

I present to you Francisco Lachowski(Ford Modeling Agency)...This beautiful specimen hails from Brazil (where else?) He's been making the rounds for about a year or so, gracing the catwalks of pretty much every important designer and working with the best photographers in the industry.

Vanity Teen recently did a shoot featuring the stud and made this amazing vid to go with it.



I'm not really one for ogling over male models. Yes some are extremely attractive but for some reason this one really caught my eye.

There's something about him and i can't quite put my finger on what exactly that "something" is...

Regardless, I'm asking Santa for him as my early Christmas Present.

Calling All OnlineShoppingAddicts !

Some say online shopping can be quite addictive, and it can. There are multiple reasons as to why online shopping has been so successful.

For one, it’s convenient: there’s no need to go out and purchase something when that item can be directly delivered to you.

Second, bargains: some online shopping sites offer hefty discounts, most notably Ebay.

Third, you can shop in your underwear.

I hadn’t done much online shopping in back home in Canada…but now it’s a different story. Online shopping in South Korea is beyond popular. Everyone and their grandma shops online for simple reasons: It’s easy, you can buy pretty much ANYTHING, and delivery is usually free and EXTREMELY quick (especially in the Seoul area).

There’s a specific site that everyone knows about and shops at: GMarket. Think of it as EBay but on crack. You can buy ANYTHING from clothing to groceries. Check it out at: http://www.gmarket.co.kr/ (It’s in Korean but you can get a basic English translated web site by clicking on the top right hand corner)

Cute Jumpsuits (which I LOVE right now) for 10 bucks?! These are some cute ones I found on GMarket.





Apart from GMarket, Online Shopping Malls (as they call it), are extremely popular and successful. The best thing about these web sites are the prices. (1,000 Korean Won is equivalent to .86 cents…you do the math on the web sites)

Check some of these out:

Yubsshop(Not as cheap as GMarket but def. more on the trendy side and you can find a lot of unique items)

Chicgirl2 (I just bought this cute crop top for about $5.00!)



T-aradot.com (They carry a lot of “pretty” and cute things, but they often have a lot of trendier individual items) I’m loving this vest at the moment…for around 20 bucks Canadian Why not?



Modne (More Casual and Cute but you can still find some trendy items)

Some of the items these "stores" carry are super trendy and often difficult to find over in Canada/America etc. So I'm taking FULL advantage of these deals while I'm here :)

Bunnies Everywhere!

Alright, so we've seen the Bow trend that has been in stores everywhere and on the catwalks for a couple of seasons now. The ones Diane Von Furstenberg added on her Resort 2010 collection I think look particularily fresh and fun.



I really like seeing the bow trend mixed with a more "edgier" look, think along the lines of a more boyish outfit and then adding the bow to give it a more feminine look. But I loathe when a bow is added on to a cute dress, or cute outfit in general, it just SCREAMS childish and it looks like you're trying to look like you're 5 years old when your mom used to dress you up for Sunday morning church.

Sure, almost anyone can rock a cute big bow headband every now and then but can anyone rock a bunny ear head band? They are similar to the big bow trend in the sense that they definitely catch your attention. We've seen the bunny ear head band on the runways,I first saw them on the Louis Vuitton Fall 2009 Collection and soon enough I noticed the famous Maison Michel bunny ears that everyone from the Olsen Twins to Lady Gaga famously sported.





Well, the bunny ear trend has hit Korea, Seoul in particular, HARD. You see all the hipster girls sporting them with their vintage jean vests and their 80's inspired printed tees. Though the head bands definitely are a more toned down version of Marc Jacob's ears for LV, but they definitely make a statement don't you think?







P.S On a side note, You all know I've been m.i.a for a couple of weeks, just took a small break and I'm back!HARD. :)

First Official Post!

I would like to initiate the first post by saying WELCOME!

As an avid fashion/beauty/lifestyle blog reader for many years, I’ve always been fascinated by the idea of writing my own. As some of you know, (from my other personal blog) I’ve moved to the other side of the world to experience…life? I’ve graduated and have all of my life ahead of me, which is exciting. I decided to move to South Korea soon after school and I haven’t regretted it since. It’s been a life changing experience.

The culture…the fun language barriers… the once in a life time experiences that I could only get here. Unforgettable, bonkers, HILARIOUS things happen to me on a daily basis… needless to say, I’m enjoying myself here.

I live around the Seoul area. Seoul is an unbelievable city. It’s full of energy, and creativity. It’s young, modern and has a lot to offer. I’ve seen so many new and…different things to say the least. And this will be a place to put all of my experiences to writing.

To give you a little introduction over what I feel this blog will be about, here is a list (in no particular order) of what this blog will consist of:

1. Fashion/ Beauty. Those in the know already understand that I live and breathe all things fashion! Korean women and men are so unbelievably stylish… the youth here lives and breathes fashion. Seoul is a walking runway, and not to mention the fact that Tokyo is a mere hour and a half place ride away…The shopping on this side of the world is ridiculous. Creativity and Inspiration is everywhere. I bust out my camera every chance I get.

2. Technology/Lifestyle in Korea. Korea is INSANELY technologically advanced. I came here and felt like I had travelled 10 years in the future. It’s full of technology that makes complete sense AND…not so much sense.

3. My general life in Korea… I don’t speak the language…hilarity ensues. 'Nuff said. But I get by…somehow.

4. Fashion PR, and PR issues in general. As a Communications and Public relations graduate I also live and breathe PR.

But enough about that, I’d like to take this time to welcome you once again, and invite you to drop by every once in a while (or every day if you want to…no pressure…teehee) to check things out. I'll be posting many pictures and videos! Check them out soon!
