Right now it’s a very popular date idea, so when Oneday Hanbok invited me to check out their new shop I decided to turn it into a little photoshoot/date with my boyfriend. Admittedly, I’m a … Continue reading How to Spend a Day in Hanbok

People don’t mind wearing clothes with characters on them, hats with faces and socks with animals … Continue reading Cute in Korea: Korean Winter Fashion

Oversized shirts or sweaters with leggings have always been a popular fashion in Korea and many other parts of the world. They’re comfy, trendy and you can wear them year-round, so what’s not to like? A lot of times girls out here like to dress up this look with a sexy pair of heels.
