Love: Mango Lookbook August

Feminity with an edge. 

Vogue Italia July 2012

The cover and editorials of Vogue Italia in July 2012 prepares its readers for the fall collections by all the most well-known houses there are: Rick Owens, Louis Vuitton, Versace, Givenchy, etc. Models posed in a very dynamic yet tightly controlled space, each styling closely reflects each collection's distinguished personality. Some were quirky, some were dark, some were fun and colorful. The brilliance is made real by photographer Steven Meisel and stylist Karl Temper.

Accessorize

I'm a firm believer in investing in designer pieces such as bags or shoes. I cannot afford to suit up all in Chanel and the likes, but a Prada tote or this Ferragamo clutch is totally worth it. It is timeless, and can glam up your whole outfit.

Myeongdong Shopping Guide (part 2)

<Read part 1 here>

So where are we? Oh, talking of street shops, the shoes shops are worth checking out too if you love a good bargain. The shoes here range from $10 to $40 at most :D All these shops have approximately the same price range, but just to make sure, check out a few before you decide to purchase.

Myeongdong Shopping Guide (Part 1)

Myeongdong is located at the heart of Seoul and considered as THE shopping paradise in this city of shopaholics and sea of clothes. Myeongdong is great because here every brand, big or small, gathers on a relatively small area, enough to satisfies all kinds of customers' needs.

Hence I would like to create a little legacy of 4 years spent shopping here by creating a virtual map of Myeongdong with the best shops at the best prices (Please refer to this post for a detailed map of all the shops mentioned!)

To begin with, Myeongdong has all the high-street brands like Zara, H&M, Forever21, Giordano, you name them. These shops are located all over the place, and pretty easy to find. Just stick to the main street you're gonna find all of them.
