Such a terrific colour combination. Just thought I'd show you a few of my buys from my trip to LA. Black bikini by Victoria's Secret and reworked, red Levi's high-waisters from Urban Outfitters.

I got a haircut the other day and never knew that cutting off a few inches would literally make my head feel much lighter. Just had to post this editorial because it's so fitting for Spring and totally uplifting. The colourful gowns are phenomenal, non?

TGIF?

Recently the days have been going by in a blur. Week by week, day by day. Don't really feel like unnecessarily unloading all my personal problems on this blog but I seriously feel like I need to get a grip. I'm going out tonight with friends so hopefully it'll cheer me up a bit and I won't end up drowning away my sorrows with liquor.
Happy Friday~

the best of both worlds

I have to admit my style is really quite strange. Having grown up in Oz and favouring French chic at the same time, depending on my mood I will wear simple, minimal Euro looks with my beach hair, tanned skin and tank-tops. Sort of like Isabel Marant Spring 2011. Frankly I just have a hard time putting it into words, LOL.

I know fashion week has ended and all is done and dusted but there are so many collections to recheck and reminisce over. Starting with Paris and my picks from the Isabel Marant Fall 2011 collection!

I'm all for a nineties revival- CKs and all. How about you?

It's Friday night and I have a birthday party to get going to! Hope you guys have a great night out if you're going out or a wonderful night-in.

my daffodils are in bloom!

The colour that I'm really drawn to nowadays is orange so when I popped into the Mango store the other day I was determined to buy a scarf in that shade. I was eye-ing a few alternatives by Banana Republic (their scarves feel super soft) but the Korean prices are ridiculous compared to Mango. The only tiny problem I have with this scarf is that I initially bought it thinking it was an orange-orange but since going home and looking at it under a different light I've found that it's more a pink-orange. Store lighting is super deceptive, LOL. Make sure to always double check.

Urgh, I just had the longest day ever today. It most definitely feels like a Wednesday. Sometimes I feel like I want to just drop everything, pack a bag and go on some sort of cruise. Destination: tropical.

My thoughts are for Japan.

Saturday I went out for late night waffles and it was just THE best. Nothing beats carbs past midnight! I woke up really late today and now I'm just planning on staying in with a cuppa....have no idea when I'm going to squeeze in some grocery time. Hope you enjoy a relaxing Sunday afternoon too. ♥

How gorgeous are these dresses?! The designers from top to bottom are: Cristopher Kane/Roberto Cavalli/ Chloe/ Emilio Pucci/ Roksanda Ilincic. Guess what? It averaged around 14 degrees today in Seoul, such glorious weather and sunshine! I bought a pot of daffodils this afternoon to officially celebrate the arrival of Spring. They're currently placed smack bang in the middle of my coffee table waiting to bloom. Can't wait.

There's nothing like a little vintage Kate Moss to liven up a Friday night. Cheers!

Mara Hoffman Spring 2011 swim collection

Source: People's Revolution

"Mara Hoffman was originally inspired by the Ndebele tribe from South Africa and Zimbabwe. The colorful, geometric paintings on the homes of the tribes influenced a new original print by Hoffman and served as a central point for the look and feel of this collection. The "Etching" print has an African mud-cloth feeling and and the colorful "Web" print has a Batik effect."

As of this moment I'm trying to overcome this monstrosity of a virus that I've managed to catch from one my classmates before I feel its full force by sleeping. all. the. time. Majorly wishing for warmer weather so I can wear that electric-blue bustier bikini set, the first is my fave!
