Chanel Mystery Woman

Last friday was the last Chanel Pop-up event on 가로수길 (Garosu-gil). Although it was held at the same location as the previous week, the set up was completely different.

If you are wondering about the title of this post, it refers to a fabulous yet intimidating older woman that was present that night. She was dressed head to toe in black, including an incredible coat with a popped collar that was almost vampiresque. Her mannerisms and the way she would only crack the slightest smirk every so often made me think of her as an Asian Anna Wintour. When I asked to take a picture of her, she looked at me, gave me THE smirk, and then turned her head back to the manicurist. I decided to take it as a yes? 

My friends and I also struck up a conversation with Chanel's head makeup artist for the Asia-Pacific region. He offered to do my friend Molly's makeup and we all watched him work his magic. I was speechless at how talented he is. And at how fast! What he did in 10 minutes would have taken me 45 and it wouldn't have looked half as good. 

Here are more pictures from the event!

W Concept

For those who don't know, I'm currently in Seoul, South Korea. The next 8 months are going to be very exciting and I can't wait to start posting my adventures and thoughts as I should have kept doing even when I was at home!

So.

Seoul always excites me because it is one of my favourite cities to shop in (if not my ultimate favourite). Last June I blogged about the Joseph & Stacey bags that I had fallen in love with. I found the bags at a store named W Concept. This store sells many items from luxury brands from Proenza Schouler's PS1s to Tod's driving shoes but also holds countless other brands from all over the world. Most of the time they only have one or maybe a couple of each item which kind of makes everything that much more special.

When I went a few days ago, I fell in love with the W Exclusive line that was made in collaboration with  Kaal E. Suktae. I loved the colour palette and the special attention made to design details, especially on the jackets. My favourite was the black leather motorcycle jacket with gold details. It fits incredibly well and looks even better on than in pictures.

Take a look for yourself!
