Style Mondays 013

I’ve been practically living in dresses and skirts and getting a bit bored of them. Pants are a little bit too hot for our sunny weather, so I thought, hmm…maybe shorts? I don’t like how shorts can look too casual sometimes though… But I changed my mind when I saw these. I think they’re known as “pleated shorts.” I love the structured look and flared bottom! Absolute chic!


Here’s ever stylish Kate Moss in a slightly different pair that almost looks like a skirt. How convenient!


Topshop even has a style page advising how to wear a pair!


Best part of it all? No more worrying about skirts being too short whilst bending down, going up the escalator, sitting down etc. Whee! I’m going shopping for a pair of these!

Seoul Loving

I’m backkkk!! I spent 9 lovely wintery days in Korea with my mummy and I am already so missing the cold weather. Yes, although there were certain days when the cold was unbearable despite the multiple heat pads and major layering of clothes, but I still much prefer it to feeling sticky and muggy in our tropical Singapore weather.
Having been to Seoul twice this year, I officially coin this city as the shopping haven. Did you know that malls in Dongdaemun open till 4am in the morning?! How massive is that! Being a nocturnal night trawler, I absolutely think their store hours are brilliant.
Myeongdong tops as my favourite place to be, albeit the ‘touristy’ feel of it all. The place has such a mash of interesting shops and eateries that it’s hard to resist going back couple of times during the trip. It’s got a massive 3-4 storey Forever 21, all the make-up brand shops you ever want, local Korean designer stores, American Apparel, street-side stores, etc. Charming!
The huge bummer was forgetting my camera this time! So, I’ve only got a couple of lousy shots from my mobile to remember this trip. Boo! ๐Ÿ˜ฆ
I had a mission to stock up for lovely things for my online store, Pink Flare, and we had a wonderful time exploring the wholesale places and buying, and buying, and buying. As expected, our luggages were grossly overweight. Thanks to some winking and pleading, we were let off the hook at check-in. Yay!!
Mummy at Myeongdong. This fishcake thing that she’s eating is super delicious!
A store selling all types of boots imaginable at Myeongdong. And rather cheap too!
This cake at a tiny cafe in Myeongdong is delicious. There are tons of such quaint cafes on the upper floors of the shop-houses. You have to visit them if you’re there!
On the streets of Myeongdong. Cold!!
My bags of skincare products, masks and BB creams!
Koreans have got such smooth, fair, porcelain skin. I’m thinking it’s their kimchi and BB creams!… The Hanskin Caviar BB cream that I so raved about in my earlier “Style Mondays” post is now available on Pink Flare!

Say it Altogether Now, "PINK FLARE!"

The best thing about having my blogshop selling iPhone covers is that I’ll never have to put up with boring stiffy covers, Ever. Plus, I get to change covers ever so often. I went from:

I just collected stocks for this “punk skull” design today, and I had to use it immediately. I love it! Those who know me know my huge weaknesses for pretty skull designs…and of course, blings. I have a compact mirror that I got from Japan with the almost exact same design. ๐Ÿ™‚ If you like this design as much as I do, you know where to get it. ๐Ÿ˜‰ www.pink-flare.blogspot.com
