Seoul Fashion Week SS15

photo by RealStreet – edited by me for post purposes

The second installment of some of my favourite street fashion shots from  Seoul Fashion Week SS15. It’s a combination of days 1 through 5, featuring some of my absolute favourite models.

There’s something about the fashion-conscious Koreans that is so effortless. I never used to believe people when they said they could ‘instantly pinpoint a person’s nationality from their outfit’. Fashion seemed far to fluid to me for that to be a thing, and yet, now, I’m seeing it.

***As with my last Seoul Fashion Week SS15 post, none of these photos are mine, all photographers are credited where I can, and no copyright infringement is intended.***

I adore photos like this. Absolutely adore people being caught in the moment of an action or an emotion. As I’ve said before, Alex Finch has such a great eye for moments like this. Anyway, I’m not here to rave about the composition of a photograph (another time, another post), I’m here to comment on the outfits. All white. All white with colour (pink) accents. Duster coats. Pastel hair. Contrasted by dark tones, military style buttons, polo necks and high waisted jeans. Beanies! What is not to love?

No seriously. This look is so perfectly transitional. White gives such a neutral pallet that you can literally throw on any colour as an accent, and keep any addition colours muted or matching.

Im HyoBin & Jung HyoIm shot by Alex Finch

Another example of an all white base with pastel accents, only with the addition of cute knee highs and classic adidas. I really like the layering of both outfits, the white top peeking out under the olive breaks up the dark colours, and the rolled up ankle on the jeans shows the ankle boots quite nicely. I like the contrast in lengths that the shorts vs the coat creates, it adds an extra dimension, and is a nice transitional outfit. Not something I’d be able to wear in England during autumn, but hey.

Joo WooJae Day 1 – sourced from streetselca

WooJaeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Probably my favourite male model. Probably. His street style outfits are always so impeccably put together. He also photographs ridiculously well, which is a good thing seeing as he’s a model and all. But really, his sense of style when he’s not being a clothes horse for a fashion house is a thing of wonder. Keeping it simple here with a simple monochromatic button down and a classic jean turnup. The only thing I have an issue with is the bucket hat. I don’t like bucket hats. Still,  #WellDressedBoys.

RealStreet



Some Korean photographic prestige obviously had to creep its way in at some point. And the best place to start, for me, anyway, is RealStreet. It’s one of my absolute favourite Korean fashion blogs – now I guess you can tell why it was such a big deal for me to end up being photographed for it – covering things from events to seoulites every day style.

From RealStreet

Your eye instantly lands on that striped suit, doesn’t it? It’s a great piece, in all honesty, taking that pinstripe AW trend to the extreme. The contrasting direction on the pockets breaks the continual downward stripe, and a plain bag and shoes doesn’t make the look too busy. I like the hat and sunglasses also.

The second outfit, at first glance looks incredibly casual (and comfy), the knee length sweater adds the slouch appeal, but then the slit makes it far less sofa-chic.. I like the pairing of it with the wet-look trousers, it adds an edginess to the look that compliments the burgundy double soled shoes and the one-earring. (Another AW trend that I’m seeing more and more of.)

from RealStreet

That. Bag. Remember what I was saying about seoulites just being effortlessly fashionable? This outfit is incredibly reminiscent of what I used to do karate in: wide legged, black trousers and a loose fitting top. Yet I wasn’t carting around a beautiful black bag, wearing (what look to be) polished brogues, and round-rimmed glasses. It’s the additions to an outfit that can make (or break) it, in many peoples opinion, and I agree wholeheartedly. So simple. So chic. 

Lee HoJung – from RealStreet

Lee HoJung is one of my favourite female models of all time. All time. She’s such an absolute joy to take photos of, being equally serious and playful when required. She’s especially fan-friendly too, despite having to run from show to show, she take the time (like many of the models, actually) to take photographs with her fans, and throw a couple of extra poses for the photographers.

Her outfits are usually a little eye catching, and this navy tartan jumpsuit is no exception. Fully on trend for AW. A simple enough bag and black trainers dress this look down really well, I think heels could’ve made it a touch too formal. Well, as formal as a blue tartan jumpsuit can be.

From RealStreet

Reppin’ the adidas. I don’t think she rode that bike to the DDP with those Mulders on. I don’t think. I could be wrong, Korean girls do like to run in the snow in heels, so what’s a bit of BMX-ing? Outfit-wise, I love the bright colours of that sweater, and how she keeps the sporty look going right down to her socks. The contrast of the Jeffrey Campbell’s works nicely, I do have a soft spot for a good, clunky shoe.

From RealStreet

I love outfits like this. A modern twist on a renaissance vibe, with layering to die for. Basic colours — you really can’t go wrong with black and white, ever — mixing textures and keeping clean lines, it’s another stand out outfit, but in a completely different way than a bold print or a loud, vibrantly coloured accessory.

I’m still waiting for all the photos from my favourite collections to go up, so stay tuned for posts on the likes of 87mm, Steve&Yoni P, DGNAK plus others.

Do you like the outfits here? I think they’re quite easy to replicate, or just to draw inspiration from ~

      I haven't seen anything like it in any of the usual fashionable places (admittedly a lot of the Toyko Fashion Week photos are ridic hard to get hold of), so it's nice to see something so bold on the streets. It's such a stunning suit. x

#협찬 Using the right sunscreen for your skin ty #협찬 Using the right sunscreen for your skin type is *drum roll* actually very important -- and I'm not just talking about SPF levels for different skin tones. 

Choosing the right sunscreen helps to avoid irritation, breakouts, and makes you more likely to apply it regularly, which gives your skin the best chance at avoiding things like melanoma (skin cancer) and premature aging. 

Determining your skin type >>
For me, finding my skin type was super easy. S E N S I T I V E. I'm horrifically eczema prone (have a whole series on my blog about this), and lean towards a routine that is simple but hydrating, staying away from too many actives. It's the reason I take forever to put up skincare reviews, because I have to check for reactions, or develop contact dermatitis from different ingredients. 

BUT - that's not all. See, I lean towards Sensitive-dry, which is why my skin care, and my sun care, focuses more on hydrating products. 

What determines your skin type? How much oil (sebum) your skin produces daily. 

Dry >> 
Does your skin feel tight? Less elastic?  Does it become rough or flaky easily? Dehydrated? Not a lot of shine in your T-zone? Then your skin type is probably dry. 

Oily >>
Do you get really shiny during the day? (Especially in your t-zone) Do you suffer from (manageable*) breakouts, blackheads and/or whiteheads? Then your skin type is probably oily. 

Normal >> 
Is your skin neither oily throughout the day, and doesn't feel dry, or tight, or often irritated? Your pores aren't too noticeable, and you rarely have breakouts? Then your skin is probably normal! Lucky you :) 

Combination >>
Are you oily in your t-zone (forehead, nose, chin) and dry or normal skin on your cheeks? Then you have combination skin <3. It's a little harder to care for, because you're often trying to battle with contrasting products 
(my tip: you're gonna want a sunscreen that's suitable for 'all skin types' ;))

So, now you know more about skin types, scroll through for my picks for each, and my current favourite sun screen <3 

Let me know your skin type AND your current sun screen in the comments below, and don't forget to #applysunscreenaddprotection <3

#협찬 Q: what’s the most important skincare s #협찬  Q: what’s the most important skincare step?
Fii’s answer: SUNSCREEN!!!!!!!!!!!! 

This is a question i get asked quite a bit, and my answer has been the same for ages. The step in my skincare I absolutely never skip is: sunscreen. 

So I’m really excited to be taking part in @wishtrend ‘s #ASAPchallenge: #applysunscreenaddprotection 😊 This challenge is to help build the habit of applying sunscreen DAILY for 5 weeks. It takes 28 days to form a habit.. so let’s do this together ^^ 

There are some great perks for wishtrend users for taking part with me too! For everyone who posts content during this challenge, you get 1,000 wishtrend points and 3 promo codes to pick up your favourite wishtrend products 😊 And!! we get to protect our skin from sun damage and early signs of aging 😚

what do you say? 
Also what’s your ‘never skip’ skincare step?

{ #ad #협찬 #gifted } Vegan skincare is on the r { #ad #협찬 #gifted }
Vegan skincare is on the rise, and I received these beautiful Vegan Lip Butters from @melixirskincare_kr ❤️
Melixir is vegan, sustainable, and cruelty free, that has a range of products that are great for sensitive skin like mine :) 

I’m absolutely loving the easy wearability of “04 Dewy Rose”, and the agave infused formula is great for my lips (guess who doesn’t drink enough water…). 

“05 Red Velvet” is a buildable red, that isn’t too harsh or bright for those days you want a little colour, but don’t want to faff about with lip liners ❤️

📌 you can find melixir products at Amazon (worldwide), or if you’re in Korea, Olive Young and Melixir’s website ❤️

What’s your favourite lip product these days?

#협찬 #광고 skincare for glowing skin when yo #협찬 #광고  skincare for glowing skin when you don’t have time for extensive routines? i’m loving the @klairs.global fundamental line :) 

named because it’s formulated to take care of your skin’s fundamental needs, this is a great line to reach for when you’re busy, or just need something simple to satisfy your skin. 

cream: 
the fundamental water gel cream is super light weight for easy absorption into the skin. it’s packed with green tea for vitamin e, antioxidants and calming, which with the way my eczema has been recently i def need.

mist: 
the fundamental ampule mist os a great product to have to top up when your skin is feeling dry, or as layered with 7 skins. it’s got so many nutrients to make your skin feel refreshed and hydrated. 

eye cream
i’m always a bit hmm over eye creams that don’t have actives (like retinol or derivatives) but i’ve been reading about the benefits of using peptides for the under-eye area specifically and i’m not saying the results are magic, but i’ve seen an improvement when i’ve been using peptide formulated products in that area. so. jury is still out but i’m not mad. 
#the formula of this cream is also super thick and creamy so it feels really nourishing 😇🫶 

overall it’s been a great experience so far, and it’s definitely made me remember why i liked klairs products way back when i started blogging ❤️
