TAHDAH! EASTPAK has presented another collaboration with Christopher Shannon. Christopher Shannon is not the most well known designer yet. Christopher Shannon is a menswear designer. He has made his first debut in London Fashion week September 2008. He is a graduate of Central Saint Martins and he has worked under Bodymap for a few years. Christopher is more well known through collaborations such as Comme des Garcon. If you are interested have a look at his website. EASTPAK has always amused us with new collaborations and this one is awesome too! I mean the colors are just perfect for summer. The blue,gray, white, navy blue is perfect for jeans and a t-shirt. You will be ready for school right away with this one bag. With backpacks like this I prefer simple clothes because the bag is colorful. If you are to be interested in the white bag, then hopefully you would be wearing a colored t-shirt? That would be awesome. I hope you guys all try to style your self with a pair of backpacks this summer!

LOWE+GELDOF=☀


I hope you guys have an idea of who these two young ladies are. Peaches Geldof is an English model + socialite. She is known as the daughter of Bob Geldof(Irish singer) and Paula Yates(a British television presenter and writer). As a daughter of two talented people she is also talented. She has long blond hair and she seems to enjoy fashion. She has the smoky eye makeup and uses nude colors on her lips. She is truly a vintage mania. She uses vintage dresses and matches them with jackets. She,also, gives accents to her style using accessories like bracelets, rings. She also has tattoos on her body. They are not overdone but serves as a good accessory on Peaches. Maybe all her fashion sense has come down from her parents.




Daisy Lowe is also an English fashion model and she is the daughter of a singer/song writer, Pearl Lowe and Gavin Rossdale who is the front man of the band Bush. I love the chicness of Daisy Lowe.However, she has a different kind of chicness that Peaches doesn't have. Daisy Lowe doesn't use a lot of color as Peaches. She uses color to give accent on her lips and her sense of style is just unbelievable. I love her hairstyle too. Her long dark hair that seems to be styled unconsciously is stunning! We should always keep in mind that fashion is fun and we should enjoy dressing up.

Somthing Good for You, Me, and Earth

Today I went to pick up trash in the Tanchyun with my friends. It was surely a very interesting experience for me. I really thought that we need to recycle once again because there were far too many trash in Tanchyun. Fashion is now trying to help the Earth become a better place. They are using recycled materials to make fashion items and much more!
Dynomighty Design is one of the brands that wallets, totes, tags, and much more out of recycled items.

This is an example of a luggage tag that Dynomighty Design sells. There are much more, but I just chose my favorite. It is unbelievable how this can be made out of recycled items.

This is an example of a tote that they're selling. It seems very light and comfortable to carry around.

Look at this wallet! This is my personal favorite in Dynomighty Design. This wallet is flawless.
Lets all be ecofriendly!!!:)

Ring Ring Ring!☺

Hi guys! This week was so busy for me, so I couldn't post any new posts. However, today is Friday here in Seoul. I was in a really good mood, so I wanted to talk about something I like today. For a few months I have been looking for rings I might find pretty or possibly buy?

These two rings are from Giles&Brother.
The two rings are vintage and I like the color gold. I think it will go well with white clothes in summer. Something I really like about Giles and Brother is that they actually ship internationally! As a person who lives in Korea, it is an awesome thing.
I hope you guys can all give an accent to your outfit with cute rings this summer.

Vintage Mania: Reborn Process by Hyoni

Want to go back in time, with a little bit of today's trend? I'm in love with Reborn Process nowadays. I just wanted to share to the people who don't know it yet. Reborn Process is led by Hyoni, the first Korean model in FORD models. Reborn Process take vintage clothes and just reform them by giving them a little bit of a modern taste to it. I think for the people who were afraid to try vintage clothes, it would be a good idea to take a look because it is looks awesome. Take a look.



I personally got a lot of help on how to use vintage items with the clothes you already have. It gives you styling tips and there are short fashion stories on the website. Worth your time! I recommend all of you try vintage clothe at least once because it really attracts you with a unique sense of coziness, something you can never feel from new clothes!

Obsessions...

Somethings that I am obsessed about currently. I hope my obsessions can become one of yours!

1) Rosebud Salve Lip Balm:
This is something I can't live without. It is my favorite lip balm that has saved me this winter! Rosebud Salve is the best lip balm I've ever used. If you want to have kissable lips this summer, I totally recommend you this!


2) Facebook.

WOW. This is one of those bad obsessions. It is not exactly bad, but it disturbs me a lot. However, it is something so hard to break out of. I have to get on Facebook every hour to check my status. On the other hand, I can really have fun with my friends out of school. I love Facebook!

3) Bracelets
Since last summer, I have been crazy about bracelets. I made my own bracelets and even bought a lot of bracelets. I am planning on making more bracelets this year for my self.

4) Benefit Perfume
I was looking for my own perfume and I found one! It is the Benefit Perfume called " My Place or Yours- Gina" I don't know how to explain the smell, but I just love it.

5) White, Black, Grey T- Shirts
A few years ago, I just loved t-shirts with letter and logos. But, now I just like white, black, or Grey t-shirts with nothing on them. They're just simple and perfect for me. They fit perfect with a pair of jeans and are the best for school! Less of more. I personally recommend you to buy white t-shirts that are plain white. Never buy t-shirts that are not completely white. They should be glowing white, or else you will regret it because it will turn yellow so soon!

6) Gladiators
I just love gladiators. They are just perfect for summer and to give accent to my outfit. I am sure I will use wear them this summer again.
This image is a gladiator from my personal favorite: Jefferey Campbell.

TOPSHOP: Summer Shoot (Behind the Scenes)



Here is the new summer looks on TOPSHOP! There new looks are awesome. TOPSHOP has presented a lot of sporty looks because this summer, the sporty look is on the move. They presented a lot of pull overs and lose t-shirts. However, they also had a lot of prints and avant-garde looking black clothes with interesting details. I totally adore their jean jacket and accessory this season. My favorite jacket is the blue jean jacket with studs on the shoulders which I saw on the video, but not on the website. It really represents the strength of the modern women. ARGH! The color of the jacket is beautiful too. It would be perfect for a black pair of jeans. I ,also, adore the wedges they have released. They're are totally terrific. I gasped when I saw them. The colors are monotone, so they would be perfect to wear on any clothes. Simple is the best for me. I can tell they experimented with tier shoes this season. Especially with the one where they put gladiator shoes with wedges. It was a really good combination because some women can't wear gladiators because they might make your legs look shorter. However, with this no worries! This wedge gladiator will make your legs look even longer! GO TOPSHOP!

Here comes Diet and then Comes Summer

DIET. These four letters are something that I have to handle every spring before summer comes. Winter is the season where you can just cover your self up with clothes and no one will find out how fat you are. However, when summer comes people can tell right away how fat you are. That stresses me out. I don't want people to look at me and think I'm fat. Plus, I want to look good my self in the mirror when I wear clothes. I am having a war with food and my self right now. I am controlling my self as much as I can. Diet and fashion, I think, are inseparable because you actually look better in clothes if you are skinnier. Let's go!
