Shopping in Korea – SSFW

During my Korea trip couple weeks ago I stopped by Dongdaemun and Myongdon, both are main shopping areas in Seoul . Although there are a lot more shops in Dongdaemun and despite spending more time in the area, I didn’t pick up as many goodies as I did at SSFW (stands for Spring Summer Fall Winter) in Myongdon. If you are looking to pick up some budget trendy cloths and accessories, SSFW would be the place to go, especially if you are short in time. It is literally a one-stop shop where you can pick up your entire outfit, tops, bottoms, dresses, shoes, bags, hats, glasses, you name it. The shop was opened in Nov 2008 and an online shop was launched in March 2010.  If you only want to pick up accessories, you can just stop by their accessory store, ACCESSORY BY SSFW.
Address: 55-2, Myungdong 2-ga, Jung-gu, Seoul
Tel: +82 2 3789 8891
Opening Hours: 10.00am to 10.00pm

Shopping in Shanghai

I am quite efficient when it comes to shopping. During my less than 24 hr stay in Shanghai, I managed to squeeze in an hour of shopping. My first stop was the no name shop on Changle Road. Picked up a few items from there and discovered another shop that is worth checking out.

M.I.C. Mayfair
M.I.C Mayfair, located on no. 141 Changle Road was opened at the beginning of the year. The shop carries products from overseas at a discounted price, each item ranges from $400 – $800. They have two floors, upper level is for more formal wear. They also have a tiny corner for accessories. When I walked into the store, I actually saw a piece of item that I bought in another country!

My First Experience with Nicholas Kirkwood

Every time I walk into On Peddar, I always notice how funky Nicholas Kirkwood’s high heels are. Went into the store couple weeks ago and saw a pair of Nicholas Kirkwood that is 50% off, but it still costed me HKD $3,900. The talented 30-year-old launched his own label six years ago when he was only twenty-four. Each and everyone of his designs are very sophisticated. I finally had a chance to wear them today, never thought the skyscraper heels were so comfortable. I guess it is time for me to expand my Nicolas Kirkwood collection =)

Cotton & Me

Baby Cotton



People who know me should know that I am a dog lover. I am always searching for things to do or places to go with my dog. Below is a list of places or things I do with my dog – Cotton:


1) Cyberport Waterfront Park
The park stretches along the shoreline of Cyberport. There’s a huge area for your dog to run around while you mingle with other dog lovers. You can also park your car right next to the park. This is my favorite spot to bring my dog.


2) Tai Tam Country Park
This will involve a bit of hiking. If your dog is ready to hike a bit, this will be the place for you. If you expect to see a lot of other dogs in a huge playground, this will not be the place for you.
3) The Peak
There is a private road next to the Peak Lookout, a dog friendly restaurant, that leads you to the top of the peak. You will have to do a bit of hiking before you reach the dog friendly park. You may want to try and drive your car up.

If you want to be a bit more hands on with your dog, you can take the pet grooming class they offer. The 6 hour class will take you through all the basics you need to know to groom your own pet. Other than that, they also offer massage therapy for your dog. If your dog does not sleep at night, you may want to take your dog there for a nice massage for a good night sleep! 

5) Dogaroo
If you have a super furry dog like Cotton, it may not be a good idea to take them out for a walk under such heat. Alternatively, you can take your dog out for a swim at Dogaroo. They offer individual swimming lessons for your dog.



6) Three Dog Bakery
Their bakeries are made with natural ingredients. Prices for cakes range from $120 – $300. They also offer cupcakes and rich, creamy peanut butter biscuits that will make you and your dog drool. Cotton is very picky with his snacks and he absolutely loved their cakes there.
