Be Merry Collection- The Wallflower Shop

Sharing some of the photos in the latest collection- Be Merry. It's december, the season to be merry and jolly. And the REASON for you to splurge :p



My favourite for this collection would be the Mandy Top! As some of my friends will know, I hardly wear any piece out more than once and if I do, it really shows how much love I have for that piece :P



One of the lazy Sundays when I have decided to park myself at one of the cafes to do some leisure reading. I paired it with the #worntodeath Crochet lace shorts from The Wallflower Shop as well. Love this crochet lace shorts so much that I can really match ANYTHING with it heeee.



On days when I feel girly, I pair it with a high waisted skirt! The top is super stretchy and it definitely will fit most well ;)



Okay enough of the Mandy Top, but let me post a last photo with it! I wanted to dress up for a movie in town and i wore it with a flare pants and surprisingly, the whole monochrome ensemble look so good! I can't believe I wore this 3 times out within 2 weeks heheh. It's such a staple crop top! How to not get it in 2 colours?? The visuals for black can be seen here!



And don't have to guess, my next FAVOURITE piece is Keep Me Comfy Knit Cardigan!! We decided to bring this knit piece in large quantities because it is just SO PERFECT for this rainy season and after I received many praises from my friends for this knit wear.









Too many photos to share for this piece <3 It is so versatile and comfortable I can sleep with it :P

Ok I promise, this is the last photo! I brought it with me during my HK trip and I took so many photos with it!

And the best thing is, it is suitable even during the summer days when you just want to have something cosy to put on at air-conditioned places. The knit is not thick and it will not "stick" onto your skin.





Some of the other pieces in the collection. Don't miss out on the Dressed Down Owl Tee Top because it is so soft and snug, you can wear in on days when you just want something casual but still look good ;)

Seoul Part 4

Annyeonghaseyo~ Finally have the time to sit down and blog. Have been super busy for the last month. August is a crazy month because I had to relief a lot of classes and on top of that, I have to prepare for my first lecture and I had to lecture for 2 weeks. I felt so relieved when Sept is here because of the long awaited 1 week of sept hols :P

Sidetrack a bit... For those who asked, yes I went to 2 countries within my 1 week of Sept hols. One trip to BKK and another to HK. I totally enjoyed myself, did not bother to touch any work (except to mark some scripts on the plane). Although I didn't sleep much because it was kind of rush because after my BKK trip, I had to go school for consultation for the whole day and then the next morning I flew to HK right away, I HAD FUN :D The holiday was well spent and much needed.

Okay, I hope I will have the time to blog on my HK trip after my Seoul trip because I went to a lot of new eating places in HK and I can't wait to share the pics :D

Alright, back to Seoul...

1) Thanks Nature Cafe
Decided to head to Thanks Nature Cafe because I heard that there were sheep, REAL sheep in the cafe. How interesting is that? I don't have to even travel to the outskirts to see sheep?











OMGee "faster faster help me take before the sheep runs away."





The interior, just a simple cosy cafe at the corner of Hongdae.



The friendly owner:)





The waffles selection ^^





Ordered a chocolate lava cake and a waffle to share among the 3 of us!

Overall, ambience over food :)

How to go: Hongik University Exit 8.
Turn right after you come out from the exit and walk straight.
Turn right after you see 6.9% plaza and then cross. Walk straight until you see a 7-11, then cross to the right side of the street and then walk straight till you see H&M. Cross the road to your left and walk straight! Try to spot the cafe name on the wall with all the other shop names! The cafe is just down the stairs :)


Afterwhich I decided to hunt down a hair salon after being told by my friend that there are many hair salons around the area. I have long wanted to have curly hair and I am thinking, since I am going to Korea, why not try out their more high tech salon equipments. Korean actresses always have the best hairdo and fashion sense!

Walked around and saw a lot of hair salons and I decided to google the best hair salon and the results apparently showed "Juno" which I have been seeing this chain hair salon almost everywhere I have been to. Without checking the prices, I headed to the salon since there is 1 outlet at Hongdae.



TADAH! Finished product after sitting still at the salon for 2.5 hrs? I just googled "korean curls" and showed her a picture of what I wanted.



Closer look at my curls. I was quite disappointed at first because I wanted more defined curls which can last me for half and if best, a year. The first and previous time I curled my hair was during my sec 4 perm and it lasted me for 1.5 years! My hair stylist told me my curls can last me for 3 months and I was hoping it could be longer :(



After a few days, the curls seemed to be gone and I was super worried lol. That was probably the FIRST time in my life I did not wash my hair for 2 days consecutively because I don't want my curls to soften lol.





I am so sorry about spamming all my selfies :/

My recent #selfies. This is after 3 months and my hair is going straight very soon T.T. I have been very hardworking, applying mousse to my hair every day after every wash :(

For those who asked, I paid $260 for just perming my hair. The service there is VERY good, the moment I step in, they served me tea and then they helped me to keep my bag in the locker. And while I was sitting there for my curls to be done, they served me snacks as well. I felt like a queen! haha! Ok, so these were the value added services. Idk if they marked up their prices because of that or because they were really famous in Seoul.

But I guess my friend was right in saying that it was worth it because curls in Korea were meant to be loose. From what we see in the streets, most of the ladies had loose curls and probably that is the reason why they don't do more defined curls. So, overall, I still think Juno Hair did a good job!:)





If you are not planning to visit a hair salon, Hongdae is a good place for shopping as well ^^ It is a place for youths to hang out.



Chanced upon this super cheap shop selling denim pants and I was so excited because all the clothes I saw were too expensive :( Like 50 plus and above. So I ended up with only a pair of pants at Hongdae heh.



Oh and not forgetting my hello kitty casing (with a mirror) as well ;)

We went back to Myeongdong after shopping for dinner. Ronald wanted to bring us to a dinner place there which he chanced upon during his last year trip to Seoul with his mum. He said it was a simple eatery selling cheap but tasty local food.







What was on the table... This was probably the cheapest meal we had too. It was a very local eatery but the kimchi fried rice, cheese ramen and dumplings were very tasty!



I cannot remember the directions but it is at one of the streets in Myeongdong and this is the shop!

Time for some desserts ^^ My stomach will always have room for sweet things hehe.







Went to O'sulloc Tea House to try their matcha desserts~ The place is huge with 2 floors and as you can see, it is very cosy!



I loveeee loveee love their matcha ice cream and swiss roll! Matcha lovers cannot miss this out!!

Ok that's all I have for part 4!! Last part will be up soon ^^

xoxo

Seoul part 3

Ahhh kind of long but I am going to try to recall some of the places I went in Seoul! I should probably bring along a pen and paper next time when I travel and that should make it easier since I have STM :/

So day 3 we have decided to head to Namsan Park and Seoul tower. What's going to Seoul without visiting this place right? We realized that our hotel was so so near this place after we done some research online! If you would like to be less adventurous and you would prefer to take a cable car up to Namsan Seoul Tower, take the train to Myeongdong, walk to exit 2/3. Walk straight and you will see 7-11 and continue to walk up. There's an upslope and continue walking and keep right when you see Pacific Hotel. Walk up by around 1km and you will reach the Namsan cable car station! We got the round tickets because its cheaper and it costs around 8500won.





Taking a cable car is the shortcut. You can look at the amount you have to actually walk and climb from this pic if you choose to walk through Namsan Park to get to the tower.



Sooo SCENIC.







My new kicks!



I can't remember the price of the tickets but we chose a combo with free popcorn and drinks. AND WOW! Look at the amount of popcorn they gave us?! Its enough to last 10 movies??? I told the person to fill just 1/3 and we couldn't even finish! It's really huge and super worth it!



The view of Namsan Tower was not very clear because it was foggy and vision was very poor. We couldn't really see anything!



We didn't have our lunch before coming here and I thought this Churro could fill up my stomach but it was not really satisfying :(



So beautiful and full of love!





We were so lucky because when we were just about to leave, the guards were changing their shift and there was a short ceremony for us to enjoy(: Remind me of Da Chang Jing drama idk why also haha.

After this, we decided to head to Sinchon since it's another food paradise there! We were looking for an army stew shop and we were so pissed because we have been looking for a shop that has closed down. We wasted like half n hour?

However, it is a blessing in disguise because we chanced upon another army stew shop and I am so going to recommend you guys!!





If I am not wrong, its only $10sgd per pax and there's free flow of ramen(maggie mee)! We asked for another packet and they were so kind to help us cook! Remember to order the cheese one! I think it's quite cheap for the portion and the meal was so satisfyingggg.



The place is quite big and it is very clean! Friendly staff. Highly recommended! Below are the directions :D

Directions: Sinchon station. Exit at UPLEX. Cross opposite and walk straight for 400m and the shop is on your right level. Level 2!! Cheap and nice!

Desserts time after dinner ^^ We were finding for Homilbat- one of the famous patbingsu in Seoul.



I AM SO DISAPPOINTED!! There's nothing nice about this shaved ice and this fruit sorbet with red bean bowl costs like $12??! One bowl of this costs only $2 in Taiwan D:

We thought we should just boycott all the patbingsu here but luckily we didn't!!





Muahchee with nuts and snowflakes toooooo awesomeeeeeee...

Met up with Ronald and ying one of the days and we knew we had to try this when we walked past the store and saw this on the poster :P

This is SOOO much better than the first one we had! I forgot the directions but this is at Sinchon and its v near Homilbat. Its quite easy to find this since their poster is really very tempting :P Must try must try!



Ohohteedee in Seoul. Sidetrack from food a bit heh.

That's all for part 3. Part 4 will be up soon(hopefully) hehe.
