Peter is coming in 11 hours

The BF is coming tomorrow morning 5:30 AM so I will not be Facebooking, gchatting, or Blogging for 5 weeks.

Either that or the BF will be annoyed that I am Facebooking, Gchatting, and Blogging while he is here.

We'll see how I do.

So farewell until October 20th. While you are slaving in your cubicle I will be galavanting around Korea, Bali, and Osaka.

Muahahahha

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.

Jo Kwon needs to come out already!

My two loves in one, Jo Kwon doing the Miss A dance.

You seriously can't claim to be straight with moves like this.

Definitely a bottom.

Sistar

Sistar has a new single out.

I am posting "Push,Push" even though the song is kinda old. I still love dancing to it at the clubs.

I called this

Se7en's third single off Digital Bounce will be "Im Going Crazy" the video is being shot this weekend. I called that when the album came out.

I can't wait for the video. Not a dance tune but so catchy.

Makgeolli

This was posted on my friends fb and his friend commented
Jin Yap is this dessert or soup?

This is ALCOHOL. Yes, looks like squash soup or maybe some creme caramel but it is actually an unfiltered rice wine called makgeolli.

I hate makgeolli. I think it tastes disgusting and also the drunkeness creeps up on you. It is fun in a kitschy way because you drink it out of a bowl.

Its a rustic old school Korean alcohol, wiki says "However, it has recently started to become more popular in cities, especially with the younger generations."

I do notice it being consumed a lot around these parts. Not like soju because soju is still number 1 here but it has a presence.

This is actually the first thing I ever got drunk of of. My grandfather gave me this when my grandma wasn't looking when I was 6 years old.

Thanks grandpa. Way to force your alcoholism on your only grandchild.

Life Lessons From Seoul

These are things I have learned living in Seoul (mostly coffee related)

1. An umbrella should be carried everyday from May-September
It does not matter if you wake up to a beautiful, clear morning. It will be monsooning in 2 hours time.

2. Surgical masks do not always mean the person got plastic surgery.
They may just be paranoid about the Yellow Dust from China. Yellow dust is airborn dust originating from northern China from their dust storms. Always the damn Chinese. However, 85% of the time, a surgical mask does mean that person got a nose job.

3. True Religions are not just for guidos.
They are still cool here. Fact.

4. Starbucks and The Coffeebean and Tea Leaf are for hood rats.
Americans complain about $5 lattes all the time. I can't count how many times I have had a $12 Americano here. Add some dairy product like into a Latte this can go upwards to $15. Koreans take their coffee seriously.

5. Ground up used coffeebeans make excellent ashtray fillers.
How ingenious for the Koreans to use up the remnants of their coffee consumption in another love of theirs: smoking cigarettes.

6. Drinking coffee at midnight is not a good idea.
Even though it is tempting to get a chocolate iced latte at midnight because you are people watching with friends on a trendy street, it is always a bad idea. Get the green tea latte instead.

7. Where Urbana Champagne is
Never heard? Yeah, me neither. I now know. Koreans studying abroad love to go to the University of Illinois Urbana Champagne like whoa. If you are friends with fobs, then you def have a friend who went to this school. Princeton Review has probably sent 30 people here last year. Who knew?

8. Everything I forgot in middle school
SOHCAHTOA. Law of Distributive Property. Properties of Chemical reactions. I got that on lock. Unfortunately I can't parlay this new knowledge into my next career.
