Reason #672 why NYMag is my Bible

I saw their post for the top 38 best soups in the city. I clicked thinking if Gahm Mi Oak is not on this list, this list is bullshit.

Lo and behold #38 is the sulleongtang.

Again, I still have not had one in Seoul better than this. The only one that came close was a restaurant near Cheongyecheon stream. Still, I preferred Gahm Mi Oak's.

If you like kimchi, you need to go here. If you don't like kimchi, you need to go here to try as the benchmark of kimchi. It's the kimchi that all kimchis should aspire to be. If you still dislike their kimchi, then yes, it's official, you will never like kimchi.

They had 2 Korean soups on this list. They also listed the Samgyetang (ginseng chicken soup) at Arirang in Flushing as #13. The photo they put looks all sorts of wrong to me. I just feel like samgyetang is never as good with the clear broth, it should be more milky and rich. My grandpa's looks better.

NY Fashion Week

NY Magazine's links for the Fashion Week slideshows are broken 55% of the time.
Ugh, who is running this damn website? Fail.

My thoughts on Fashion Week, I will try to keep it limited to Asian designers to keep it somewhat relevant I guess. Besides Marc Jacobs because I had to.

I want to like Richard Chai. But his women's collection. Ugh, the clear pieces, why?

Usually I like his layering, but I didn't like most his looks.


Hideous:

Clear Pants ew:

This look is quite pretty, the top is gorgeous:

He himself looks very cute though. Love how he's bringing the 90's shirt on waist look back.



Marc by Marc Jacobs. I loves his eye popping colors. The men's looks were very dashing.

Great yellow

Amazing jacket:


Model looks great in this color:




Nips out at the Thakoon show. Loved the sunglasses the models were sporting throughout the show.

Dreamy dress:

This. model. is. gorgeous.

Swoon, love this dress.

Love the shades:


Doo.Ri

Interesting print, like the draping:


What I want to wear when I am 40 although I think I will never be tall enough to pull off these pants:


This silhouette looks effortlessly chic:



I don't love Jason Wu because I just think of Michelle Obama.

While she is my favorite First Lady, I feel his looks look old much of the time. There was one excepton for me in the show, this dress is below is just OK. I am still not thrilled by him. He just doesn't tickle my fancy.



Phillip Lim 3.1 had some creative looks.

Is this a tie? It doesn't look connected to the dress but it is cute. Like the look.


Like the cut of the top:

Cool trench:

Hands down my favorite dress out of all the collections:

Derek Lam Overall my favorite for Spring 2011.

Stunning.
Stunning.

Want these shoes really really badly.

Hot.
