Sushi and Cherry Blossoms
Today was a day of sushi and cherry blossoms. The flowers are a’blooming and the birds are a’chirping because spring is a’coming people. The cherry blossoms are nature’s way of saying, ‘hey guys, everything will be okay’. Cherry blossoms are like the training wheels of nature, they make us feel safe and sound before we […]

Exploring Cafes in Seongsu, Seoul
Amore, Seongsu This is an amazing concept store in Seongsu that houses all of Amore Pacific beauty brands and a rooftop cafe. There are lots of skincare and makeup samples to try, but I was more excited by the vintage graphic design and the actual design of the building. I am still a bit confused […]

Feeling too uncool to be at Arco Cafe, Seongsu-dong, Seoul
Edit: This cafe has since changed its name to ‘Scene Coffee’, you can see more images in this post. If you’ve been feeling a little bit too cool with all of this staying home in your pyjamas business, then head to Seongsu to level out your ego a little bit. The customers at this new […]

What to Wear in Seoul in December
Brrrr… it’s chilly in this city. I’m pretty sure I just saw snow in my bathroom (not really). When I first came to Korea in 2017, I had no idea how cold things would get come December. This lead to me jumping on my bicycle, racing to the closest Uniqlo from my dormitory, and buying […]

Apgujeong’s Elite Keeping Korean Architects in Business
Apgujeong is one of Seoul’s more affluent neighbourhoods. There is no shortage of designer clothes, expensive schools and plastic surgeons. Today, I spent the morning walking around Apgujeong Rodeo Street (not to go shopping because I’m not a bajillionaire). Instead, I admired all of the amazing buildings in the area that house some of the […]

A Thursday Night Drawing for the Artists
Here is an iPad drawing from me to you. I think I need to face the fact that I am not an illustrator and need to learn better techniques. I shall have to add ‘digital drawing’ to my long list of things to improve upon on! This is a drawing from a picture my mum […]

A Day of Books in Seoul, South Korea
Here are a selection of images from my humble, but forever runing out of power, smartphone. I’ve been wandering around bookstores and the Seoul Metropolitan Library in the City Hall area of Seoul. After multiple unanswered phone calls with an airline that shall remain nameless, I needed to get outside into the fresh air. Although […]

What’s going on at the Seoul Hall of Urbanism and Architecture
Today, I wandered around Gwangwhamun, the cultural hub of Seoul, with a camera in hand and no particular plan. I stumbled across this ‘interactive balloon surface’ at the Seoul Hall of Urbanism and Architecture. The space was not overly conducive for interactive, fun play (in my design opinion). Oh, that’s right, I have a real-life […]

What my eyeballs saw today in Dongdaemun, Seoul, South Korea
Today, I forced my couch potato oaf of a body out to Dongdaemun to investigate the famous fabric market. I recently (two months ago) purchased an embroidery starter kit with every intention of learning how to punch needle (seriously, what the hell is punch needling?). After a night of failed punch needling and red wine […]
