Prada Transforming Seoul

Prada unveils it's Transformer, a 160-ton steel structure on the grounds of an ancient palace in Seoul. The project is a collaborative venture with Rem Koolhaas' firm, Office for Metropolitan Architecture, pushing the boundaries between architecture and fashion.

The Transformer, can be rotated/lifted in an hour to create different shape and interior. It will be the host to an art exhibition, film festival and end with a fashion show.

If you're in Seoul, I highly recommend you go and check it out. It's open to the public and best of all, it's free!

She mixes sterling silver, base metal, pearls, & charms to create simple, versatile, and elegant pieces to wear with anything especially a white tee (which would be black for me). All of her pieces incorporate a skull charm that for protection and strength- not fear. Go to janeso.etsy.com now to check her pieces!

"I'm So 3008. You're So 2000 and Late."

The first time my sister was singing this song, I died of laughter. Called her crazy. After hearing it for the first time tonight, I'm finding it hilarious/catchy.

Home Sweet Home

I came across this property while working on a mini project and I think my heart stopped beating. "Oh.my.goodness" couldn't flow any faster out of my lips. This.is.exactly what I want my future home to look like.

Current Obesssion

Yoga.

Yes. Yoga. I have been avoiding it for I think well over a year now. My friend has been recommending that I take a class with her because I am consistently telling, (more like complaining) of my back problems, tension in the shoulder, etc. She has offered me FREE classes and still I found an excuse. Until one day last week, I was extremely tired/stressed and looked up, "Yoga To the People,"( I always think of, "This is For My People," Missy Elliot), which she had told me about. It was 12:45pm and saw that there was a class at 2pm. I gathered all my things together and ran out the door, hoping to catch a class. I think I broke out in sweat, nervously calculating the travel time and anticipating what the class will entail. I'm a first timer. I made it to class with a minute to spare and a perfect spot in the back.

I must say the class is by far one of the best discoveries I've made this month. All thanks to my great buddy! I came out of the class feeling great! The tension in the shoulders faded. I was revived and rejuvenated! And slept like a baby. I have been preaching yoga the whole weekend and must say, I wish I picked up on it sooner! If you haven't picked up on it, I strongly recommend it.


[I may be giving away one of New York's best kept secrets].

Gonna Make You Sweat

I can't wait to get my hands on a pair of sweats tailored to perfection (see below). And yes, I would wear them out with heels. (You would too).

Blonde Ambitions

For years, my sister and I have wanted to go platinum and haven't been able to for many reasons. A couple hundred of them being that our parents, more our father would disown us. The closest I've ever come to was getting "ashy" tones in my highlights right before a trip to Acapulco. (It got bleached out in the sun, blondest I've ever been). He almost had a heart attack and didn't/wouldn't recognize me at the airport.

My interest has faded but my sister's has not. She has been rather persistent in her quest to being a blonde Korean. I think it's hilarious.

This morning, she sent over a link of Daul Kim, (model) who went platinum. I think this may bring her one step closer. [Series to be continued].

I Wish I Was A Little Bit Taller...

I've come to realize and accept the fact that I don't have the height for a lot of the looks I like to emulate. I came to this realization while trying on a winter coat at CO-OP and I wanted my hood to lay a certain way. The ever so kind sales associate looked me dead in the eye and said, "Sweetie, I hate to say this, but you're too short for that look." (And that was me with a good 3"heel).

If I was just a little bit taller...

A Perfect Sunday in Brooklyn

After a long night of birthday celebrations and Sparty-ing on, celebrating Michigan State's win over UCONN, this was the perfect Sunday afternoon to wrap up the weekend.

GlamorMOSS




[Kate Moss at Balthazaar for the Topshop VIP Dinner].

While I was at the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame celebrating Fetty on Tuesday night, the oh so glamorous Kate Moss was on the other side of Soho, for the Topshop VIP Dinner party looking amazing, as always.

I've grown up admiring her. She's always been a style icon and always be.
