I am back, and now I live in Tokyo. So now this shiz is fo real. I am attempting to navigate my posts from Beijing (made at TheHypermodern.com/fashion) back to this site, but having issues. Beijing is a wonderful place, but let’s just be honest here. Censorship SUCKS and everything is easier in Japan.

I have already noticed some interesting trends with the older ladies here in Tokyo–lots of pearls, gloves, and angry expressions. I will start documenting once I get settled in my new apartment! Cheers.

Haiku Couture is now at The Hypermodern.

Debating..are these South Korean shoes ridiculous, or are they whimsical and amazing? Hmmm (reaching for credit card…)

So the one way you can spot Korean girls in Beijing is the baseball cap. It seems to be a huge thing in Korea, and I have never once met a Chinese girl wearing a baseball cap. I love the baseball cap–these girls wear the sweetest, most “wenrou” (gentle, ladylike) outfits, and then-bam! A baseball cap to top it off. Surprise, surprise. I enjoy the conflict.

Now while Popseoul! loves to hate on the (overly?) slim Ryo-won, I just love the girl’s style. Here she is glamming up In Style.

Now that’s what I call a shopping bag.

Damn you, Vivi magazine! This moccasin + loafer combination, which half a year ago I would have found ridiculous, is my current obsession. Minnetonka is surprisingly cheap…or maybe it is because of living in the UK that my concept of “expensive” has changed…

If I were a guy and had a ridiculous amount of money. this is where I would buy ALL of my clothes.

My Iraqi-Swedish friend and her sweet kicks. Damn her.

It seems I am Korea fashion blogging a lot today, but I would give my right eye for half the clothes in Kdramas…Korean tv/moviestar Jung Ryu-Won is a fashionable little starlette: props for her very nice personal sense of style.
