K-Fashion Inspiration: Take Me to the Library by Goo Hara

There is just so much stuff that Noona has to read nowadays, it's kinda getting the toll on her. Don't you feel that life is just getting kinda out of the hands lately too? If your life is also surrounded by books (or in Noona's case, paper), well, at least Goo Hara shows us that you can do it with style. XD

For the denim shirt (which is worn as a jacket), Noona found the similar one from Topshop costing USD 90.66.

For the inside white shirt, the beads embellished collar white shirt from Chicwish looks quite suitable for the job. The shirt costs USD 36.38.

Last but not least, for the skirt, Romwe's Button Flare Denim Skirt seems to be a good alternative for it at the cost of only USD 15.90.

Let's persevere in our hardship with some style! Woot!

K-Fashion Inspiration: A Doglover's Day by TARA's Hyomin

Autumn is the season of comfy. And what makes it more comfortable than a boxy V-line sweatshirt and two cute dogs on our lap? It seems that nowadays cute pets have also become photoshoot prop. The animals do look great in camera too. #cleverbunch

Thanks to Hyomin, Noona is now mulling over the V-line blouse sold by Lucky Chouette. The price tag is not cheap though at KRW 268,000 (USD 230). But it really looks cute. And trendy too.

Why can't money grow on trees?

K-Fashion Inspiration: Looking Sexy with a Bardot Top by SISTAR's Bora

If you have a sexy shoulder and want to show it off without looking too much, bardot top is your best friend. For Cosmopolitan, Bora is wearing the one from Rebecca Minkoff below and looks how amazingly hot she looks without actually revealing too much.

The bardot top from Rebecca Minkoff has been out of stock but it does not mean the end of bardot top yet. Topshop, for instance, has a cute and cheaper alternative at US$43.

Another one is a crochet lace bardot top from Missguided. It costs US$38.

Since it's all time summer in Singapore, Noona should probably start toning her shoulder and chest like crazy before wearing one. =P

K-Food: Soft Tofu Soup and Spring Onion Pancake Kind of Day

Once upon a lunch time, Noona and her friend did not know where to eat lunch. And since we were in the vicinity of COEX shopping mall, we decided to roam the mall.

COEX is like the equivalent of Suntec in Singapore. It has convention centre, exhibition hall and underground shopping centre. Well, Noona and her friend are confident there will be food inside too.

COEX Shopping Centre at Seoul South Korea

We did find a restaurant at the corner of level 1. It was already late in the afternoon, around 3PM-ish. So there were nobody inside except for the restaurant's staffs. Good enough for us, at least our food would come out faster. Hahaha.

COEX's Jjigae and Pajeon Restaurant Seoul

The restaurant specialises in local Korean food so Noona tried their soft tofu soup (i.e. sundubu jjigae). This jjigae is the clear type and hence it's not red in color. The kimchi is served separately as a side dish.

Do note that a portion of pancake (i.e. pajeon) in Korea is always big. This is the spring onion pancake and wow, look at the number of spring onion layered on the top of the pancake. Crazy.

Noona has a spring onion overdose now. XD

K-Fashion Inspiration: Parisian Autumn by SNSD's Yoona

Maroon coat, striped sweatshirt and shorts. What can make you feel like you are a Parisian other than the combination of these fashion items. Yoona pulls it off perfectly in her advertorial shot for Korean fashion brand, H-Connect.

Too bad Singapore does not have autumn but Noona supposes she can adopts this style when it's time for her to travel somewhere. Haizz, Noona changed job at the wrong time. She should have changed job in winter time. XD

Although no one may be recruiting in Christmas season. LOL.

K-Fashion Inspiration: My Rose Pink Jacket by Kim So Hyun

Rose Pink is definitely Noona's favorite color this year. Noona hopes the color is exclusively appropriate for spring only. Well, Soup, a fashion brand from South Korea shows that rose pink is definitely the color for all season. There's no reason of why you can't wear rose pink jacket in the coming autumn.

If you happen to have a rose pink jacket, you may want to copy Kim So Hyun's style of pairing the jacket with a white top and black-and-white-checkered flare skirt.

If you have a great pair of legs, you can wear socks like what Kim So Hyun does. Noona, herself, has a chubby pair of legs and hence this kind of socks is definitely a big NO for her. U_U.

If you share the same fate with Noona, you can opt for an ankle boots instead (in the effort to make our legs look longer). After all, it's fall and hence, we shall wear ankle boots! #excuse

K-Travel: The Little Prince's Hall of Fame, Petite France

As mentioned before, Petite France is adapted from the French storybook titled the Little Prince. So, there is an art gallery dedicated to the story of the Little Prince somewhere inside the theme park. If you wonder which house serves as the art gallery, you can go inside the door painted in green (Noona hopes they don't re-paint the door). XD

There are a number of child drawings of the Little Prince. The drawing skill of these children is amazing. Noona could only drew the classic mountain + sun + ricefield drawing which happened to be the only thing children drew in Noona's era. Hahaha.

The French story books which have been translated into Korean language are also put on display here. Noona wonders why this particular story book is not as popular in other Asian countries as in South Korea.

Wall mural of the Little Prince. Noona so gonna draw a wall mural in her own room one day (probably when Noona finds her own place to stay).

You can collect stamps of the Little Prince here. There are a number of stamp stations scattered all over the theme park so this will be a nice addition to your stamp book. =)
