today's look: in Swatch (+plus an international GIVEAWAY)

you already know how much i love pink :)

swatch korea sent me this watch (and +1 for you lucky reader!)

and i wanted to share and discuss with you

what's going to be the hottest item for this upcoming spring

it already feels like half spring and half winter here

so my outfits will look kind of an in-between the seasonal looks

this new line for the spring 11 is called

LADY DOUBLE TOUR collection

which is basically a lady-like lovely pastel colors

(available in 10 different shades to choose from)

that is able to wrap your wrist around in double straps

just like the same as if you would wear two bangles/bracelets

it was really long so i liked it better to wear it

out on my outfits rather than to wear it on my skin

because i have kind of a small wrist so everything is loose around me....

you already saw this outfit from yesterday's

GoJane review (leopard wedge bootie)

i personally loved wearing my watch in a similar tone to purple with that urban outfitters sweater

but my mom thought it would look better with black top

because then the watch will be more visible

i like it worn with just about anything

because it's a simple yet versatile look

after coming back from wearing this sweater

the hairs were all stuck in that rubber-like band?

but it was so easy to take it off

and thankfully it didn't get dyed in black or purple-ish

*but before you know it for sure

watch out for just bought jeans or sequined tops because the color fades naturally and ruins all of your other bags and etc.

the look without the coat

rather than to wear it all in nude or light colors

i decided to go bright and bold in red this day

i always am uncertain if the look is correct or not

just by the look i can't tell

i can't tell if the colors match

and honestly i really don't care

because we all need to take risks and experiment with every possibility we face with

so this is why i just wore items by following my heart today

I always thought yellow and pink would look so childish together

but from today's outfit i thought it was quite okay

i think it's because the watch color is light and balances it with my coat's darker shade

let's start the fun part:

new giveaway

today's look: in GoJane

how do you love my leopard print wedge bootie? :)

it's 4.25 inches high (according to the web description)

which is 10.795 or rounded to 11 cm however you prefer the conversion

leopard was so hot since last fall and winter and I don't regret to follow that trend even now in 2011

the color appeared exactly the same as i've first seen from gojane.com

(here it looks lighter because of the setting)

and that's really an important part of online shopping

to get the right color from the screen so the shoppers get the expected result

I was at the department store (called Shinsegae)

and everyone I know talked about my shoes first

here in Korea, just like anywhere else probably

women are sooo into fashion and style

they especially love the bold, edgy and fierce looks

and I think this wedge looked powerful to them as well

the appearance: I usually wear size 7 1/2 or 38 for boots because that's what I heard as I should do. go a one size bigger for boots because you get swollen feet

so when I was looking at the size chart at gojane,

the sizes were to my understanding a one size bigger than in my perspective (I usually think 37 is for 7 and 38 is for 8 and so on.. which is 250 mm for 8)

so that's where I decided to try a size 7

I knew that it'll be okay even if it's the normal size 7

(because I wear 7 for flats and 7 1/2 for heels, sneakers and etc.)

then I can just take a short trip walking.

so when I first opened up my box, I thought this looked way too small

just by the first appearance i mean..

but when I tried it on

it was just like a 38 version perfectly having a little space for me to breathe

*i didn't know but today i heard that

normally a wedge heels look smaller than the other type of shoes*

the rubber platform made me easy to walk in and to feel comfort even in above 10 cm height

it wasn't a heavy shoe

but it was strong enough to hold me tight when i was walking down a slightly bented hill, i didn't trip down or anything like that to embarrass myself
