Leaving my Home in Seoul

For the past two years I’ve been so fortunate to have lived abroad. And in a lot of ways, Seoul feels like my home. I remember having a conversation with an old friend about defining this word ‘home’, both of us being South African and living abroad, and to her, home was not the town

90s Inspired Fashion ft. Olivia from Livbombs.com

This year I’m planning to do more style posts inspired by places, decades, movements and books I’m reading, taking in everything that I’m absorbing and letting that filter onto the blog and just playing around with fashion and enjoying it. This post is all about drawing inspiration from the 90s, which has had many fashion

Thoughts on Home

I want to go home, are the words I’d like to utter as I sit beside myself with no-one to voice them to. But what would it matter if there were? And where is home exactly? The idea of travelling and living abroad is an exciting one, one I would rarely opt out for anything

A Winter Indoors – Lifestyle Post

This winter has been brutal. I wish I was exaggerating the cold we’ve experienced in Seoul but -17 Degrees Celsius would have anyone fearing a step outside. So that’s why I’ve opted to stay indoors and soak up the heat of my underfloor heating and some candles to get me through the days. Staying indoors

Seeking Adventure 2018

Happy 2018 everybody! Can I still say that seeing that it’s basically February already?

The Winter Uniform

So it’s that time of year when I go back to my old faithful pieces that I know will keep me warm and snug this winter. Creativity seems to have left my soul as my standard winter uniform is more practical than it is exciting. Though I would love to walk around the city in

The Best of Seoul’s Coffee Shops – November

There’s something so satisfying about having that first sip of coffee, it’s the cautious sip, so as not to burn your tongue, the heat that it gives, the cream on your lips. The sweet sensation of its mere bitterness that makes you smile. I have a deep relationship with  my coffee, an intimate one, one

Catching the Sunrise in Seoul

There are so many things I wish I could do with my time and so many places I’d like to see but most of all, and I think inside of us all, is a person we’re striving to be. And there could be many facets within that alone, but building on your own character and

The Best of Seoul’s Coffee Shops – October

For all the coffee lovers out there, you’re going to love having a coffee in Seoul. With every new coffee shop that I find, the more I foster my own addiction, and I have good reason – it’s bloody darn good! There’s something about having a coffee in a different place, in an other space,

Thoughts on Seoul Fashion Week

This weekend we witnessed the last of SFW Spring/Summer 2018 and all of the fandom and excitement that came with it. I think I’m still a bit buzzed by the atmosphere at the Dongdaemun Design Plaza or DDP as it was an exhilarating and equally exhausting experience but one I would definitely remember for many

Autumn in South Korea – The Best Time to Travel

The best time to visit Korea is now! Autumn has finally begun and the sunflower fields have graced us with its beauty. We are well in to flower festivals and soon our streets will be an array of autumnal hues, with brown, orange, yellow and red leaves creating a picturesque view. Seoul has an abundance
