Korea Trip (Last one)

 First time I got my nails done professionally! It was an awesome experience, but so expensive! I asked for dark green gradient with some glitters. Loved it for the Fall/Winter season.
 For those who loves seeing pictures of food... well you came to the right place! I love taking pictures of anything edible... This is omlette with pork gatsu. So yummy <3
 This was taken from a very famous shaved ice dessert--also known as Patbingsu 팥빙수-- place that is located on the top of the Hyun Dae Department store. During summer, it is so popular that people literally wait hours and hours to eat this. It was really yummy. The two white things on top are mochi. The reddish brownish thing is sweetened red bean paste. It's SO good. 
Yummiest garlic bread that I have ever encountered in my life! 
 Green tea milkshake & another shaved ice dessert (not as good as the other one though)
 The famous Ssamzigil 쌈지길. I didn't get to buy anything from there because it was so expensve, but I had a good time just looking around and enjoying the scenery. This place is very famous because you start at the ground level and then suddenly you reach  the top as you stroll along the stores. Does that make sense?
Lovely street scene. It was decorated like this because I went during the Holiday season, kinda. 
 This building was so pretty!
The colorful Seoul N Tower 서울 남산 타워. I think it was a good choice for us to go there at night time. So much more beautiful! 
 Ah. Korea.
Speechless scene from the top of the tower. ♥
I really wish I can go back to that day. It was amazing.

Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did!

Suddenly I See






 | FRY'S ELECTRONICS HEADPHONES | FOREVER 21 SHIRT DRESS | URBAN OUTFITTERS PURSE | DOC MARTENS |

I love starting my day with good music because it instantly brightens up my day. The title of this outfit is one of the songs I love listening to in the morning, because it was featured in the movie Devil Wears Prada, and this song comes up when all the women are getting ready in the morning to start their days. Listen to it:

Suddenly I See - KT Tunstall
 Perfume of the day: DKNY Be Delicious
This is an amazing perfume. It's very fruity and juicy, so not heavy at all. I bought the little version of this, so I only have a little bit left... sad. But this is my all time favorite perfume to use throughout the whole year, preferrably spring and summer!
 So you guys are probably used to seeing me with wavy hair.. today I decided to straighten my hair. Wondering what products I used? Here you go: Got2b heat protector, Remington Pearl Straightener, Biotherm Silk Therapy (not shown above)
Last but not least... this is my leftover lunch from school. I just finished eating these... so yummy! I love my mom for making me legit Kimbap every morning.. :')

Hope you guys enjoyed my outfit! I cannot wait for the weekend to come already.

Love to dress, dress to love ♥

Valentine's Day outfit suggestions:

valentines day outfit 1


Lovely Lace
I love lace for normal occasions, but I thought it would be super appropriate for the romantic day of Valentine's Day! Lace gives out an aurora of feminine and sweet girl! There's nothing wrong with being a bit sweeter than usual on this special day.

valentines 3

One Shoulder Dresses
If you are going to a fancy dinner with your lover or your friends, spice things up with chic and sexy one shoulder dress. I love one shoulder dresses because 1. it's on trend 2. it's not strapless so you won't have to be pulling up your bras through the night when you should be having fun 3. shoulder cleavage is better than a deep V cut. As for colors of the dresses, you should choose the one that looks the best on you! Even though Valentine's Day is all about pinks and reds, being a rebel and breaking the "rule" isn't bad at all!

valentines day 2

Mellow Mint

You want to break out of the typical color palette of Valentine's Day but you don't know which color to reach out to? Try the mint color this year. As you guys all know, I am obsessed with the color mint and I have my reasons! It looks clean, but darling at the same time because of its pastel tone. The dress show above is a perfect example. The frills along the neckline adds the extra sweetness to the outfit. I think this color suits many skintones and can go with both gold and silver jewelries. It's a very versatile color, so play with it!

These are few of my suggestions on what to wear on the special Valentine's Day (it could work for dates as well). However, the most important thing is that you should wear what you feel the most confident in and still look good.

Remember, you should love to dress and dress to love

Spring Breeze


| FOREVER 21 NAVY BLAZER | H&M NECKLACE, SHIRT | AMERICAN EAGLE OUTFITTERS SHORTS | DOC MARTENS | TARGET CROSSBODY | MICKEY MOUSE WATCH |

I'm so happy that spring is coming! Not only do I love wearing pastels and bold colors, I love the warm sunlight and the breeze. It's just awesome. I really wanted to incorporate my navy blazer today so I decided to have a theme of blue clothes and silver jewelry. Speaking of which, I got my Mickey Mouse watch from my dear friend for my birthday present! I LOVE IT. Also, I added in my nail color of the week which is Essie's Ladylike with a coat of glitter polish on top. I added in the glitter to make it more spring appropriate, because Ladylike is very Autumn-inspired.

Leave me a comment about #1 thing you are excited for spring time! :)

Korea Trip (continued)

So through my Formspring, I got a suggestion saying that I should post more pictures from my Korea Trip. I took so many pictures that if I decided to upload them all, it will overwhelm my blog with it. So I am going to upload bits and pieces through a period of time. This is my second continued post about my Korea Trip. If you want to see my first blogpost about it, click here!


 This was one of many meals that I had. The food was yummy!
 This is called ganjang gejang (간장게장). It's basically crab marinated in soy sauce. As strange as that sounds, it's actually quite delicious.
This is takoyaki. It's a Japanese snack, I think.
 At night, we went to the Seoul Lantern Festival. It was gorgeous and filled my eye with joy. This was the entrance.

 Yup. These were all made by hand. I was just amazed by how grand and detailed it was.
 This was one of the fine attraction that people gathered around. It was so awesome!
While I was walking through the festival, I looked up and noticed the buildings in Seoul. This sight really hit me that I was actually in Korea. (even though it is my home country, I have not been there since 2006...) Also, it made me realize how I loved city life. I just had to snap a picture of it.

So this concludes my second post of my Korea Trip. I will probably post the third one up, so keep checking back if you don't wanna miss it!

Minty Clean

I (kindof) redid my blog's color scheme. I'm a very seasonal person, so I wanted to change the mood of my blog to more of an upbeat and springy palette. I really love pastels right now, but those are the colors that tend to show up very pale and weak. So I chose mint, which is one of my favorite colors! I adore Tiffany&Co. mint, especially.


Nomnomnom.. I want some cupcakes right now!

I'm still in the process of re-doing my blog design... Kind of hard actually. I'm thinking either mint or just pastel in general. The outlook overall will be simple because I love the clean feeling of my blog.

Oh Darling





 WHAT I WORE:
| CLAIRE'S FEDORA, BUTTERFLY RING | FOREVER 21 LEAF EARRINGS, TRENCH COAT, PLAID SHIRT | URBAN OUTFITTERS BDG DENIM | JEFFREY CAMPBELL LITA IN TAUPE SUEDE |

CLOSE UPS:


I got the ring on the left from H&M last weekend! I love it. 


My treasure ♥

I was very uninspired today because I was stressing out about this math quiz I had to take. So when I woke up, I was just standing in front of my closet with my bed hair thinking: "what should I wear?" Then I remembered this one song that I kept replaying yesterday which was 'Oh Darling' by Plug In Stereo. (Shown below) This one is an acoustic version, but it's just as good as the original version.
Inspired by this lovely song, I put together this dandy-like outfit.


 Oh yeah, GUESS WHAT? I got the NAKED palette by Urban Decay. Because I don't use eyeshadows, I thought it would be a good time for me to start experimenting with eye shadows to see what's good for my eyeshape.

Well, that's it for today's post! I hope you are having a fantastic day :)
ps. I think I did pretty good on that quiz, haha.

Juicy Tangerine


Today's look is inspired by this juicy and delicious tangerine. It was rainy when I woke up so I wanted to brighten up my day with some citrus pop in my clothes. Remember, what you wear in the morning can decide the mood of the day.


| CLAIRE'S HAT | NORDSTROM BP FRENCHI WHITE BUTTON DOWN | FOREVER 21 FOREST GREEN SWEATER AND ORANGE SKIRT, GOLD NECKLACE | BLACK TIGHTS | REFLECTION SHOES |

I am really craving some tangerines right now.
