I want to float in the air like this.

HAPPY MUMS DAY

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY.

*

This was also my dog's favourite song. We had to put her down last month.

Back in the 90s, 2000s... when we used to go on roadtrips,

me and my sister used to listen to the Spice Girls. My dog always fell asleep

when this song came on.

I still miss her so much.

An Education

An Education (2009)

Directed by Lone Scherfig.

So you all probably know the movie An Education starring Carey Mulligan.

I watched this movie while I was on my flight back home last holidays.

I'm a sucker for sad movies (I cried while watching Up!) so my friend

recommended this to me when we were in the plane.

And she was right, I loved it!

I guess the story can be a little cliche -

good girl falls for the bad boy, young girl falls for the older man.

But it was so beautifully shot.

The costumes, setting, lighting...

So good!

Hongdae

*

During my stay in Korea I stayed mainly in Hongdae.

And in central Hongdae too, near the university because

that's where my grandparents live.

&

It was fantastic living in Hongdae because that's where all the young & hip

Koreans go. It's famous for being filled with uni students.

The alley ways are filled with unique graffiti also because

the Hongdae University is famous for specialising in arts.

*

Sorry for the crap photos. There were more better graffitis as well but can't seem

to find them right now.

There was also really great architecture in Hongdae as well.

The last photo is of a cafe? (I think, didn't get the chance to go in)

called 'Over the door'. Hence all the door nailed to the outside walls.

(

Every night the streets of Hongdae light up and all the small stores are open til late.

There's rows of clothing shops (check out the fruit loops jumper in the photo!)

and cafes and food shops. The last two photos are of this

small street soju/food shop that seemed to hold a little shrine to past rock stars.

*

Out of the many cafes in Hong Dae my favourite was 'Dada Cafe'. I ended up going there twice.

If you go to Seoul I recommend you go there!

The owner is really cool - he's this old guy with long grey hair.

And I think that the workers can speak little English. Or at least the one who served me did.

@ Dada there are two small dogs who are the mascots of the cafe.

They walk around freely and customers are allowed to pat them, hug them, let them sit on the tables etc.

*

The two dogs are actually a couple called Daljjae & Sambunee. The girl is pregnant right now.

My cousin said daljjae means like scrawny and I think sambunee refers to three minutes.

Forgot which dog was called which... but they're so adorable and tiny.

The girl dog is the one wearing the yellow vest. The owners shaved her legs to make it look like she's wearing ugg boots because it was winter when I went over.

Every Friday or Saturday night Dada Cafe hosts live music.

The night I went, there was this really funny old American guitar/singer who seemed like he had been living in Korea for a long time.

I was also very lucky that night because I went when some jive (I think?) dancers were there.

I think they were celebrating some event and happened to come to this cafe.

And they danced and showed off their awesome skills as the live music played.

Because of them the atmosphere was so lively and fantastic.

I MISS HONGDAE!!

Linda Farrow

The white one is so cute!

MEOW

We sell Linda Farrow sunnies @ work.

This is my favourite out of all the ones we have (we dont have many)

It makes you look like an owl.

HOOT!

*

*

But I like this the best out of all the Linda Farrows!

I'm sure everyone knows it or at least have seen it before.

It's from the Linda Farrow x Jeremy Scott collection.

If only I could dress like this everyday.

Uni is so dull that I dont get inspired to dress well.
