The international new year just ended and here we are preparing for Chinese New Year! I always look forward to new years! It’s a start and it always pays to have a positive and energetic mind set. It’s also always a great time to set goals and make wishes. So whether you wish for prosperity, peace, business luck or even something as simple as stainless steel jewelry, it never hurts to give it a try.
As for me I want to wish for good health for my family, myself and my friends. Prosperity and good luck for my ‘ventures’ this year. And also the chance to extend my gratitude to those who had been helpful and a chance too to forgive and be forgiven for those I crossed and whom have crossed me.
Let’s all start the year of the dragon with good spirits and good heart. Gong Xi Fa Cai, everyone!

She’s uber talented, on top of her game, world famous and on top of that she’s gorgeous. What a girl. I’m talking about Kim Yuna. In case she wants to give up figure skating she could very well make a career out of modelling!

Here’s the ‘Queen Yuna’ on Harper’s Bazaar December 2011 editorial called State of Grace. Lensed by Choi Yong Bin and styled by Mirim Lee.

Hi guys! It’s the holidays and I’m sure a lot of you are still in a frenzy. Well, as for me I’ve been cooking a lot, shopping a lot and till now still looking for gifts for dad. I have the feeling this is a never ending thing and I’m pretty much exhausted. But happy. And looking forward to what the coming new year has to bring..
Anyway, just wanna wish everyone a Happy Christmas and a Fabulous New Year!
I’ve been looking for something to inspire me. I’ve been mulling over a jewelry making project but for weeks I remain uninspired. Till I saw this. Shin Se Kyung, working up the cameras as a snow goddess for Ceci Magazine, December issue.

Sure, there has been a lot of fantasy-themed photo shoots recently but the styling of this shoot elevates it from being tagged only so-so. I love love her beige dress on the last photo. I haven’t really seen much of Shin Se Kyung’s work but I really like her as a model. She’s just about perfect for those doll-like images and knows how to project on cam. At the very least you won’t get the same blank expression from her.




If you’re into Asian fashion and online shopper, I’m pretty certain you’ve heard of Yesstyle already. It’s one of the well known shopping sites for Asian fashion and Asian brands and they cater to international shoppers. If you’re into uniquely Asian fashion or you have a loved one who is, then this is one site to check out for gift ideas for Christmas.
Yesstyle carry a lot of trendy Asian brands. I personally find Yesstyle products to be of a lot better quality than wholesale site and that alone is worth checking them out. Prices are also very competitive considering that they are Asian designer brands. They also have worldwide delivery service, gift packaging and a responsive customer support.
And here’s just a glimpse of some of the brands Yesstyle carry:
I kinda like Han Ye Seul more as a model than an actress. She has that amazing chameleon like quality that can change her look with every style she sports. I also noticed magazines favoring fantasy themes and the Alice in Wonderland theme has been used too just recently for a WonderGirl featured editorial for Vogue Korea. {Check it out here}. Hmmm, I wonder what’s next in store for magazine editorials. I wouldn’t be surprised if they had some celebrity rocking a baby jogger city mini gt double next. lol.




That being said, I think Han Ye Seul rocked in this photoshoot. Although the styling calls to mind the Mad Hatter rather than Alice, but that makes it all the more interesting. I looooove the peach-glossy lip tint on her. Gorgeous, gorgeous. At the very least it makes me want to try on a false eyelashes like that. Hahaha..
Found something really cool. Lol. Yeah, I’ve been lazy, just mopping about the house, reading on la flor dominicana, well, just being a major slob. But I got over the phase so now I’m back to posting. Anyway, let’s start with something pretty and cool. Asian inspired iPad stylus – The Chopstakes! I even love the product name hahaha.


The Ipevo Chopstakes “are the versatile styli pair that promise an unrivaled level of multitouch capability and fine control for a variety of your iPad applications. You receive not one but two beautifully-crafted multitouch instruments, which act in tandem and are held in both hands. Weighted and shaped just right, Chopstakes are more a natural extension of your own fingers than conventional styli, helping you perform precise multitouch gestures to maximize your sessions with the iPad—for business, for teaching, or for fun.”


I think this is making me want to have an iPad. Lol. Yeah, I’m weird like that.

Hello! I’m back and getting ready to feature some more Asian lifestyle goodies. Here’s some serious eye candy before I get too immersed in researching steel drums at drumsofsteel.com, I’m posting a glam photoshoot for Harper’s Bazaar Korea featuring magazine editorials/commercials fave Min Hyo Rin.

There really is no denying she has that magnetic quality, the camera worships her so I am not surprised I keep seeing her in product endorsements, tv commercials/print ads, and a whole lot of magazine editorial spreads. There latest one here features some beautifully styled fall outfits.
