Lolli, Lolli, Lolli, Lollipop

Sorry I'm spewing all this Korean stuff at you guys. I'm just super excited for my trip this summer! I have a whole list planned out and a Moleskine to record all my adventures. :) But more on that later. Currently, Lollipop by 2NE1 ft. Big Bang is replaying over and over in my head. Not only is the song addictive, the video features candy colored wardrobes of both Big Bang (the boys) and 2NE1 (the girls). Korea is super conservative when it comes to culture- songs that are slightly provacative can be banned in radio stations, tv, etc. So, Korean music and tv can get boring sometimes, filled with the same garbage just recycled constantly. 2NE1 is a good forray into a unique sense of self- breaking the mold. And of course it makes sense this new revolution is styled by Xin and Danny, both of whom are Daul Kim's friends. I can't wait to see what else they have in store!

Pourquoi la mode est important?

After I left Yves Saint Laurent, I wanted to quit fashion and travel the world. I read an article about a mother. Her son got injured in a terror attack and he lost his legs. He was 7 years old. This mother left her other four kids and her husband and her job and took this boy to a little room they rented near the hospital. She took care of him for two years. Every time they put prosthetics on him, he'd grow, and they wouldn't fit, so they'd had to start all over. At that moment, you have to ask yourself: Is fashion important? Is it important to talk about luxury? Does it really matter if you're going to wear a red dress or not? Finally, I thought, Because of that woman, it is important. You make people dream. You make people think. You have to give them stories. You have to introduce fantasy. Fashion is how we bring them into the world today. That is my job.

Polka Dotted Perfection

I'm a huge stationary nerd. I love collecting all sorts of pens, pencils, notebooks, etc. I mean, I'm already thinking about back to school shopping for next year! Today, I went shopping at the outlets and whilst I was there, I went to the Kate Spade store, which I found the most incredible pencil case. Well, it's intended to be a cosmetics case, but no matter. It's on sale online for only $32, and it will be mine!

My Apologies...

Sorry for not posting for a while! I've just been down lately, and everything is stressing me out. I'll come back soon, I promise. Happy Memorial Day weekend!

Creative Chaos

One of the many reasons I am so excited for my visit to Seoul is the clothes. From wholesale clothes at Dongdaemun to high end designer at Hyundai mall, clothes are absolutely stylish and trendy. While missing Korea, I love to look through online Korean clothing boutiques, one of them being Tsumori. The clothes are alright, but the photography is amazing! Also, I love the creative chaos going on in the room. This is my heaven of an office space!
