POP!

Another video about pop-up stores!

Pop up stores are "THE TREND" these days. I've never seen one until yesterday. Last night, I went to Hong-Dae, a famous Korean university for art. There were lots of people but I could see that there was a crowd in front of something. The banner said "Blue Fit". Blue fit was a famous, expensive company for popular jeans in the US and they also had shirts, too. I loved Blue Fit but it was too always too expensive for me to buy so many. However, it was my DAY. They were doing a POP-up store where a famous clothes brand opens a small store in the street for a day. It's a surprise for its brand maniacs, like me! I bought two pairs of jeans and three shirts. It only cost a price of one pair of jeans! From that moment, I was determined to find more pop-up stores in the future.

Find some POP-up stores, not only in Korea but anywhere, and buy beautiful items for cheap prices!

All About the Dresses in Cannes

The Cannes Film Festival was held last week with numerous Hollywood stars and Asian stars. What did I notice? The dress code of the stars in the red carpet. Who were the fashionistas?

1. Charlotte Gainsbourg: She was an actress from the film Antichrist. I noticed that her dress was from the Balenciaga 09-10 F/W Collection. Gainsbourg's black & white mini dress was different from the majority which were long dresses. It showed Gainsbourg's great fashion sense with her sandals, too. She also matched her Balenciaga dress with a Balenciaga clutch (the motor bag collection).


2. Kate Blanchet: Kate Blanchet has worn a Alexander McQueen dress from the 09-10 F/W collection which is a typical black dress, but it also has a unique white/silver pattern throughout the dress.


3. Eva Longolia: Personally, I thought Eva Longolia was the best dresser from all the stars in the Cannes Film Festival. Despite her comparatively short height, she tried a long dress which covered her height. It might have made her look shorter, but she was a fashionista who exactly knew her style and even her color. The pure white dress made her face even brighter.


4. Jun Do Yeon: She is a Korean actress and this is her second time invited to the Cannes Film Festival. She had two dresses for the festival and the first one seemed more chic because of its unique color. This Versace dress was not even presented in any public fashion show which shows us that Jun Do Yeon was a special guest even for Versace! The bronze-like color of the dress was amazing.


All of the dressers in the Cannes Film Festival seemed like a fashionista with beautiful dresses!

Glasses Enhancing Fashion

Glasses are not only a tool to help you see. They are items of fashion! There are people who even wear glasses without lenses to become a fashionista. Glasses can become a "point" in your face especially when you have no make-up on! How do you know what glasses to wear, with what clothes? Well, let me help you out.

Circular-shaped faces: I recommend you rectangular-shaped glasses since they hide your circular face which can be a complex for you.


Square chinned-faces: I do not recommend you rectangular-shaped glasses! It will emphasize your rectangular chin! Try wearing circular glasses or half-bold glasses.


Egg-shaped faces: You'll look good in rectangular shaped glasses as well as vivid color glasses.

Some people might wonder how to match jeans shirts or jeans jackets with other items. There's a million, trillion ways to do that!

1. Jeans jacket: Try tying up the jeans jacket while you're in the beach! It looks cool and chic. You might want to match hot-pants (very short pants) in the bottom to emphasize the cool look.

The most important thing to consider is whether the shoes makes the jeans' look, line, fit better. Therefore, the color of the shoes do not really matter. The details and straps are significant.

Comfortable Style: Jeans with what Shoes?

Who doesn't like jeans? I bet everyone has at least one pair of jeans in their closet. Jeans in any color, style, or pattern. Jeans are comfortable and fashionable, but what shoes do you match it with to emphasize comfortableness?



There are basically four types of styles to match with jeans.

It might look unfashionable if you match cropped jeans with high-topped sneakers. Pastel colors like green and pink seems to match well with style A!

How do you match flat shoes with jeans? Long cropped jeans with flat shoes can make you legs look longer and skinnier. It emphasizes your ankle which can make your whole legs look skinny!

Striped jeans are a new fashion trend these days for people who want their legs to look skinnier. As summer is quickly approaching, try matching the new trend with a pair of gladiator sandals!
