Seoul, you look so beautiful today!

Hi Fellas! 

This is the continuation of my previous posts. 

Our third day! We were planning pulled ourselves away from the shopping world, since we've just spent our two days before by visiting some shopping districts in Seoul. 

We were going to be the real tourist!!!! Woohoo!

It means.. outdoor, famous historical places, taking loads of picts, good weather, beautiful scenery, what else is better than all of these? 

Some of the beautiful views that can be seen from Gwanghwamun square

Sisterhood of battle!! Neisya Allysia VS Me and Dinda!

Being a tourist.... Okay, that... was.... tiresome.... under... the... very... hot... sun.. actually.... 

After having a long walk around Gwanghwamun Square, we decided to go to Garosu-gil for chilling.

Garosugil is a shopping district that located in Sinsa-dong, Gangnam-gu. 

There is nothing not to love this place. 

It seems like a long road, i mean very long road, with many branches and filled by loads of fancy, edgy, unique shops and cafes. 

All the shops there look very beautiful with their attractive window display. 

If you want to know where do the most of young people spend their time, the answer is here. 

A vibrant place for them besides it's located in the middle of the city. 

I found a lot of fashionable young people passing by there. So, it's no wonder you can find a lot of street style photographers dwell and look for their preys there. 

One of my favourite stores that has such a very lovely decoration. 

Finally, we're having our lunch at School Food. Anyway, the first picture is Ddeokbokki Carbonara. 

So far, that is the best one! I still cannot forget the taste and until now i'm still badly craving for it

The tiring day was ended by having good desserts. The name of the cafe is Momo Cot, which located in Garosugil area. Such a cozy place with the best honey bread ever! 

This is the end of my post. Anyway, I was wearing a very lovely dress, one of my favourite dress, from Argyle & Oxford. It was designed by my amazing friends. 

Go check out their collection guys!

Heaven Flooding

Stepped my foot on the second day! 

Nice weather (even though a lil bit too hot), exploded desire to shop, some delicious food for lunch. That was exactly we called as a holiday. 

Today we were going to Edae. Called Edae because it's near from Ewha Women University.

As expected, this area such a heaven for women to shop. 

Seriously, i think everyone can be insane here. 

Basically, there is a main road that branched into some smaller alleys. There are countless number of small shops that sell various fashion items. The price is just insane. It's very affordable. However, you need to be smart to bargain and compare prices. Some shops sell the same items and you need to be warned of each price. 

Honestly, the hardest thing is still the same which is language. Language barrier!! Most of them cannot speak english. That's the thing. But, body language speaks a lot anyway! 

Trixie and Alyssia <3

My sister along the small alley in Edae. Everywhere is just surrounded by small shops.

 Heaven, am i right?

After finished the insanity of shopping, we were going to have our late lunch. 

We found this small restaurant, dont ask me where is it but for sure its along one of the small roads in Edae. Clear explanation enough? 

The restaurant's name is Cheese Bosco. Basically, they served mostly Korean food and cooked with cheese. They put it and serve it on the hot pot to make the cheese inside keep melting. 

!!! * I'm writting with the uncontrollable hunger* !!!

 

 

Honestly, i forgot the name but the taste is like Korean Pizza with some ddeokbokki, beef, ham, bell peppers, onion, and other veggies. Served with some pizza sauce and lots of melted cheese on top.  

   

Rice, mushroom, hams cooked with carbonara sauce and of course with lots of cheese

Korean onigiri fried rice with 3 different flavours. 

Visually, looks cute, isnt it? Anyway, the taste also as good as it looks.

For every k-pop lovers, you guys supposed to know who are they, right?

Not a big fan of B1A4 but their life-sized photos in front of Hats On store are just too cute

I'm on Holy days

Yeah!! Im back from my holy days. Guess where did i go? 

I was going back to Seoul anyway with a very super rush and short plan. 

Firstly, i would like to share my own good news! I'm finally and officially graduated from Raffles College as a fashion marketer! WOOHOO!! This tiring journey found its end.

Yep, i should post my graduation photos anyway. However, these few next posts i'd be posting my awesome week. 

Dont ask me why im going back, okay. The visa has just finished right on the night before and right after the visa done i proceeded to get my ticket. Awesome! As always, last minute person. 

Practically, maybe this is a way of my dad giving me a treat from my graduation.

  Thank you for million times Daddy!!! 

Straight to the point, i went there with my best friends, Zaneta, Trixie, Neisya and her sister Alyssia and my one and only sister, Dinda. 

First day! and we spent a day in Hongdae. Named Hongdae because it is near from Hongik University. 

Honestly, for me this is my favourite area in Seoul that i would like to comeback again. 

Urban arts, unique, a lot of cozy places and it's like where young people spend their day in. Day to night, they remain their excitement. 

Pieces of arts who made originally by students around that area are everywhere. From stalls, small shops until big stores, they sell a huge range of fashion items. Very awesome! Cozy places are in front of the eyes. From a very sweet cafe, which sells cakes and coffee to a fine restaurant to enjoy Korean food as a dinner. 

Korean BBQ and served with vegetable pancake. It tastes super yum with the with rice and kimchi. 

Stylenanda flagship store in Hongdae. Still be my favourite place and i'm so relieved that i could comeback to their store. This was my second time going back there and i was still dying inside. Feeling crazy like entered the gate of heaven. Even though they also have their online store, but being able to go to their store is still amazing.

Besides their own products, they also sell some branded goods that i would be dying for like Jeffrey Campbell, Le Specs, Daniel Palillo and many more. Last but not least, their makeup products, 3 concept eyes, are just beyond amazing. Very recommended for their liquid foundation and their lipstick with a huge of colour options. 

Anyway, here is the link to StyleNanda website. Go check it, fellas!

Tops : OATW #plustax Givenchy black tee ; Leggings : Black Milk Clothing ; Shoes : Jeffrey Campbell stinger spike shoes in silver ; Jacket : Varsity jacket from Bershka in maroon color ; Sunglasses : unbranded sunglasses from Thailand Market ; Necklace : black statement necklace from Korean street brand

Wearing black and white, it seems not usual for me. 

It's true! Being comfortable, fashionable and extraordinary from your casual outfit? It seems like a good idea when you have a busy and hectic day, when the weather commands you to wear something with the lightweight materials, grab an oversized cool tee with a pair of leggings to be matched with. From my thoughts, it would be very important to priority the comfortableness of your daily outfits. Choose something that can maximize your activities. 

In the end, an oversized cool tee become the answer of everything, right?
