Only I could live my life
Hello,
I haven’t been posting regularly. The reason being is that things that used to fit, no longer do. A change of view. When I look back over the past couple of months I must say that there have certainly been conversations, observations that have stopped me in my tracks. I love my life, love every second of it.
Thank you.
You need this
This is why. How can I sleep with so much beauty in the world?
Love your weekend!
Enjoy your weekend, my lovelies! Fall is here and my spiritis are soaring!
Cafe Spotting: Cafe ManyThanks
Location: Apgujeong
Cafe ManyThanks is yet another creative, cozy space created by Mr. Kim (founder of Cafe aA in Hongdae). His enviable collection of designer chairs sit patiently waiting for you and your friends.
Oh, and the desserts were certainly waiting for me. I like the fact that there are large enough tables in this cafe to collaborate projects on. Oh yes, I’ve found a new office this side of the Han River, folks. This is it.
Get thee to CafeManyThanks!
What I’m reading: Deluxe, How Luxury Lost its Luster

Duluxe by Dana Thomas is a must read. It’s a must-read for anyone who has ever gasped at the extortionate prices of designer goods, luxury items, handbags no less. I’m back in Seoul and shopping here happens as frequently as walking and talking. I tell my stateside friends it’s like Christmas here…everyday.
This book explains the history of luxury branding, how the Japanese account for mostly all of the world’s luxury brand sales and how more and more of these sought after goods may not really come from Italy, Paris or America.
Can someone say, China? I’m not even finished yet and I feel as I’ve gone to the coolest class at university. Yeah, this should be a class at university.
I understand excellent craftsmanship, I respect it. What I don’t respect is craftsmanship originating in some factory in China, by an overworked and underpaid laborer and it being sold at prices that could cover my rent for six months to
A change has come and I need a designer

I know that I have to do something, I have to create change. I’m not going to get all “oprah” on you but what I do know for sure, is that I know myself more than anyone else in the world. Due to this knowledge I have to act. To hell with my fears of not succeeding.
I will succeed. Period.
What does this have to do with needing a designer? Well, I need to start from scratch, wipe the slate clean. I feel that I can do more with this blog. I feel that my blog’s design needs to reflect the person that I am now and the person that I am becoming. Will the name change? Perhaps.
If you are a graphic designer and are interested in designing a new look for my blog, please contact me via email:

Thank you for your time and I hope to speak with you soon.
Sincerely,
Felicia

Charlotte Gainsbourg in Seoul
One of my favorite actresses crossed my path, well, I crossed hers when I was searching for inspiration in Apgu’. This vision stopped me in my tracks, I almost laughed out loud. I took so many pics of Ms. Gainsbourg’s photo that it’s only now I get what it was all about.
Something great is in the works, ladies and gents!
