I bought this Dries Van Noten silk layered skirt the last time I visited my family in Toronto. I love its lace detailing but I had a hard time figuring out something to pair it with. Blouses made it feel overbearing with fabric and simple tanks somehow didn’t do it justice, so I needed to give it time until something worthy came along. And when I was packing for my Asian extravaganza, I started experimenting and tried the skirt on with my light, Ya-Ya Aflalo dress. I loved how its lace detailing complimented that of the skirt but something was still missing. That’s when I layered a silk Winter Kate vest over the dress and voila – the look was complete. The Dries Van Noten skirt was ready for Tokyo.

color addict
I’m in Korea for just another week and then it’s time for sweet, vibrant Thailand – the thought of which is making me…giddy. I’m also pretty excited about having a day off work tomorrow. I plan on spending it at one of the biggest sauna/spas in Seoul. It will be a day of mud masks, steam, heat, and cold pools. This colourful look is what I wore for a quiet, traditionally Japanese dinner in Tokyo. p.s. I bought this fuchsia silk scarf on my vintage shopping venture I told you about earlier.
in a heartbeat
Today I found out what Koreans have for breakfast – kimchi and meat – the same thing they have for lunch and dinner. It has also been raining in Seoul everyday since we got here, so I’m getting to know the Monsoon season pretty intimately. A Coach umbrella and Coffee Shop rain coat are my trusty companions everywhere I go, and as you can imagine, this redundancy can really get to a fashionista. Looking forward to some dry days of a Korean summer.

I’m packing my bags and getting ready for Korea. I know it has been three weeks but it feels like I just arrived in Japan. Tokyo is amazing, just so much to do. A return trip is definitely necessary. These pictures are from an Izakaya restaurant where we all went for nomihodai (all you can drink). Combining law students with all you can drink is dangerous. 
Fun to see such a serious group get loose. Good time for sure.
my loveliest of lovelies
My Toronto visit is getting better by the minute because I finally get to hand out with my dear Alissa – my gorgeous fashionista friend who has been in my life since forever. We wore silk dresses, light jewellery and heels for a night of drinks, dancing, and catching up.
