FOUREYES ON SEOUL

We took off to Seoul for a few days in late March. Seoul is a place close to our hearts with Alex having spent 3 years living there and it being the city where Mino was born and raised it was so good to be back in this crazy, busy, frenetic city! Seoul is a place of contrasts, the old and the new, the modern and the traditional. Home to beautiful palaces and a rich history, Seoul is also a shopping paradise! Check out our "On the streets of Seoul" post for a taste of what people are wearing in Seoul.

The Highlights :

• Seeing old friends and family!
• The amazing food. For those of you who still haven't had your first Korean meal, get to it! Lots of food pics below.
• The Shopping is out of this world!!
• The LEON magazine (Japanese) launch party we attended

If you travel to Seoul, be sure to check out the following places :

• Shopping areas : Myeongdong, Dongdaemun, Karosukil street, Apgujeong
• Shops : Aland, Codes Combine, Doota Shopping Mall in Dongdaemun.
• Culture : Changdeok-gung palace,

FAUX FUR - SEOUL

We thought that the transparent orange glasses with this faux fur coat and yellow Nike shoes were a great combination. We really like the leather accessories and the MCM bag.

CLUTCH - SEOUL

We thought the opposing lengths of this coat and shorts were interesting and like the way that have been paired with these chunky boots and oversized envelope shaped clutch.

YE SOOK - SEOUL

Ye Sook wears a vintage wool coat paired with a leather vest. Her blue clutch by Flat Apartment and shoes by Hawkins pop against the black. A great mix of fabrics including wool, chiffon and leather.

YOUNG SANG - SEOUL

Young Sang struck a great balance between classic and modern in this jacket from Daks, knit from Uniqlo and awesome split toe boots from Sou Sou. We love the way he has tied this American Apparel scarf around his collar. His great feather printed bag is vintage.

HYUN JOO - SEOUL

We loved the different textures of Hyun Joo's look, from the rubbery texture of her pants to her patent leather shoes. Her accessories including the cute horse brooch, big clutch and shiny black beaded necklace all complimented the the pieces she was wearing.

NECKDI - SEOUL

We thought Neckdi's choices in this outfit were daring in terms of colour, texture and hairstyle. Her beautiful quilted jacket with this great bold floral print and great waistline is by The Centaur looked great with this long simple vintage skirt and yellow Swear London shoes. Her abstract floral printed bag is also by The Centaur. Check out Neckdi's own online store Phila Petra for more awesome items and looks.
