Seoul is chockfull of tiny little restaurants, cafes and boutiques. I guess that’s part of its charm; leave no crevice unfilled. This particular “charm” also makes it very difficult to find good/ unique places at times. I can imagine this to be particularly frustrating for tourists on a time schedule, or even those who are … Continue reading
Playing dress-up was a big part of my childhood. I was always fascinated with theatrics and the idea of being able to be someone else. Growing up, my mom would keep all our halloween costumes, “jeweled” accessories and vintage clothes in a big storage bin so that my sister and I would have access to … Continue reading
When Julie Andrews sang a song of her favorite things, I have a thing or two she may have missed; one of them being brunch!

Unlike the chocolate inspired deliciousness that is Valentine’s Day, White Day focuses more on the … Continue reading
Now I’m more of a dog person… nothing against cats or anything, but I just like my pets to be a little more attentive and social. I guess I’m just a firm believer in the whole “man’s best friend” ideology. I guess you could say I like cats but I would never want to own … Continue reading
Wondering through 홍대 (Hongdae), I came across a café with some of the best tarts I’ve ever tasted! To be honest, what drew me in more than its name was the lovely clear windowed exterior. Avec Nous itself isn’t too big and could probably seat about 30 people, but it is kept spacious. As simple and … Continue reading
I love Cheesecake. Back home I loved going to The Cheesecake Factory for my birthday. Well, it’s been quite sometime since I’ve been back home and tasted an amazing slice of cheesecake. So, my very thoughtful boyfriend planned a very unique birthday for me a “cheesy” day if you will. Plan: A day of cheesecake … Continue reading
