HYUNA KEEPING IT SIMPLE

I can't get over how good HyunA looks in this outfit of hers at New York Fashion Week.
She attended the Rebecca Minkoff runway show at Lincoln Center on the 5th of September in a chic monochrome outfit with a pop of red lips.
Her outfit consist of a leather biker jacket over a white flowy and tiered tank top and a pair of tight black pants. She chose a black quilted Rebecca Minkoff clutch to go with her simple outfit and dark iridescent pumps to complete her look.
Normally, fashionistas like to go all out at NYFW in order to stand out of the crowd of fashion people. However, I love that HyunA chose to go for a classic and chic outfit instead.

괜찮아 사랑이야 (It's Okay, It's Love) #1

Popular Korean drama 괜찮아 사랑이야 (It's Okay, It's Love) ended last week with a total of 16 episodes. I watched all of it and loved it. Ji Haesoo and Jang Jaeyeol is definitely my favourite fictional couple in k-drama history!

After I finished watching it, I decided that I will feature the outfits Gong Hyojin wore on this blog! There were a lot of outfits that she wore throughout the show (I have screen-caps of more than 50 outfits!) and they will be split into multiple posts. 
I probably won't be able to identify and find every single item she wore but I will try my best as I know that a lot of items became really popular and sold out very fast after Gong Hyojin wore them on the show. This proves how much of a trendsetter and a style icon she is!
There are certain brands of clothing that she wore frequently throughout the series, for example, 2econd Floor (as she is the ambassador of the brand) and pushButton. Korean accessory brand, J.ESTINA was one of the sponsors of the drama, therefore their jewelry and purses were featured throughout the show as well.

Overall, Gong Hyojin's character Ji Haesoo had a mature style to suit her age and her easy-going personality. She was seen in more loose fitting office-wear such as patterned shirts, straight-cut pants and culottes. She was also seen sporting her signature 70's casual look with a pair of bell bottom jeans which accentuated her long legs. Besides all that, it was really fun to see her in some comfy home-wear clothing as well.
All in all, she played this character so well and wore all these outfits so effortlessly like they were meant to be hers. Her stylist has been amazing for putting together so many fantastic outfits to go along with Ji Haesoo's personality.

ON SHOW FILE: STYLE LOG NEW MCs

OnStyle's popular program Style Log has brought in three new MCs - Lee Kikwang, Heo Gayoon and Do Sangwoo. I personally loved Lee Soohyuk and Hong Jonghyun as MCs on the show but I believe these three MCs will bring in more audiences for the show given their huge popularity.
On this first episode for the new MCs, they dropped by a multilabel designers' boutique called Tom Greyhound Downstairs in Sinsadong, Seoul, which was stated is frequently visited by stars like G-Dragon, Kang Dongwon, Lee Nayoung and Gong Hyojin.
Whilst there, they each tried out two different outfits and as a fashion blogger, I'm thankful for the show for stating the initials of the clothing brands worn on the show. However, as I'm still an amateur in this, it took me a long time to identify everything.
Anyways, from this episode, we were introduced to each of the MCs fashion style, their preferences and a bit of their personalities. 
While Gayoon has more of a tomboyish style, Kikwang and Sangwoo both said they prefer monochrome coloured, casual yet stylish clothing. In other words, a bit like the normcore trend.

I can't wait to see what more these three MCs has to offer for the show and I certainly am excited to see more fashion items that they are going to sport on this show!
