trench coat / reformed Christian Dior vintage
golden swirl silk shirt with gold chain / Burger & Fries reformed vintage
grey trousers / Sparks
black shoes / H&M
brown belt / Urban Outfitters vintage



This is the outfit I wore to the launch of SORAPOL's collection on Thursday night at St. George's Church near Hanover Square.  I found this shirt at a charity shop around the corner from my apartment last week and knew I had to reform it somehow.  It's actually a woman's silk blouse with a nice flap that covers the buttons on the front of the shirt.  I ended up hand-stitching gold chain around the collar of the shirt and letting it hang in the front so it's like a built in necklace.  I definitely want to make more like this if only I could find cheaper places in London to buy vintage!  If anyone has any tips, please let me know!  Also if you like this shirt it's for sale on our Burger & Fries boutique on ASOS Marketplace HERE.

/ There's nothing more perfect to wear on a sunny, crisp fall day than a classic trench coat. I picked this one up at Jamie & Bell vintage in Apgujeong just off Rodeo Street. It's a tiny little shop stocked full of amazing vintage from US & Europe and their jewelry and accessories are frequently used in editorials in all the biggest Korean fashion magazines from Vogue to Nylon to Bazaar. So you can imagine the prices. I don't usually splurge on clothes, actually I'm quite cheap. But this was so classic I knew I could have it for the rest of my life and cooly dropped the W300,000 for it. However soon after I bought it I had a bit of buyer's remorse - I wasn't wearing it often enough because it was a little too chunky and a little too long. To fix that, I took it to a local tailor (such cheap tailoring in Korea) to have it taken in slightly in the waist as well as to shorten the front panels, creating longer tails in the back. I loved the outcome - much more dramatic, yet still retaining it's classic appeal.





I bought the denim shirt with white buttons at the Gangnam Fashion Festival flea market held in October on Garosugil in Sinsa for only W10,000. It was made by W Dress Room, the sister brand of Choi Bumsuk's General Idea brand, and much better priced. My friend got the adorable loli-pop patterned scarf as a gift when he watched me walk in the "Playground" themed BON SS11 show by designer Lee Jung Jae at Seoul Collection.  /
