Mixed berry juice @ Le Alaska, Hyundai Department Store, Mokdong U-PLEX 1F.
They put snowcones on all their iced drinks. Kinda messy but awesome.

korres & cupcakes

This is the first time I'm trying out something by make-up label Korres, the Lip Butter Glaze in Jasmine is the most wonderful buttery nude ever. I have a hard time finding nude products that sit well with my skin tone so I think this is it! Very moisturizing so it gets double the points and I heartily recommend it!
Yesterday I ended up going to Itaewon and popping into Life Is Just A Cup Of Cake to try out a cupcake. I always try the Red Velvet (that is if they make that kind) when I find a new place and judge from there. You're probably thinking that I should probably rename this blog Fashion Cupcakes or something I know since I talk about them so much. I am a little too enthusiastic about making/eating them but seriously those little things are just a passion of mine.
So...cake thoughts.... for starters, the price is around 4,800 Korean Won (which is like 4.50-5 bucks??!) for a decidedly midget-sized cupcake. In my opinion it was too crumbly (I usually like mine extra moist) and I don't like to waste bread...however the cream cheese frosting was really good so a major save there. The cafe is literally tiny- if I step on my tippy-toes I can touch the ceiling and let me tell ya I'm a shorty. I think the cafe has somewhat of a cult following though, the lady behind me bought 28 to go and ended up forking over at least $120 and literally cleared the trays.
Anyhow, it's not bad so make sure to pop by if you're ever in Seoul.

Those who know me know that I am quite the cupcake fiend. The red velvet and orange cream cheese at Frosted Cupcakery (1200 N. Highland Ave. Los Angeles CA 90038) were particularly delightful, extra fluffy and cushion-y. I did not have the chance to try out the legendary Sprinkles cupcakes but I heartily recommend this place to anyone if you happen to hang out in LA.

I'm literally kicking myself for not visiting Tartine Bakery the last time I was in San Francisco a couple of months ago. Due to an hectic schedule I had to pass it up even though I had it circled on my city map in red and mentally chartered a bus route there and everything. Next time I'm most definitely going! I was so happy to see that The Selby had gone behind the kitchen to take some images of Chad Robertson and Elizabeth Prueitt's bakery. Beautiful images! There is nothing more comforting than a piece of freshly-baked, crusty bread for sure!

Procrastinating like mad and reminiscing over better times. I finally met up with Unfashioned a while back and we went to the most awesome cafe in HongDae I have even been to. Think industrial building, wide, high ceiling, spacious space. Can't wait to go back for more iced yuja-cha and red velvet cupcakes once the holidays come around again.
Speaking of which- D9!
i heart waffles
Just in case you didn't know, I absolutely love eating waffles. Most willing to eat them at any time- breakfast, lunch, dinner, brunch, snack-time, tea-time, midnight snack time... Did you know the primary reason I'm continuing to watch season three of Gossip Girl is because of the Humphrey family waffles? The storyline is getting absurd. Oh and the fashion, of course. Waffles first but toasting marshmallows are definitely a close second.
food & books & good company.
Doesn't get any better than that.
First 3 pictures: Spoonrace is my favourite place to eat out in the Ehdae (이대) area. It reminds me of the cafes on Degraves Street in Melbourne, Australia. Reminds me of home.
Last 3: Cafe latte and mag reading @ a book cafe. The airconditioning there is amazing, do you know how hot it is in Seoul nowadays?!!! I don't even want to step outside to throw out the rubbbish.
