Raid My Closet Saturdays

YAY it's Saturday! I missed last week's Raid My Closet post cause I literally shopped and dropped once I got home :P Last Sunday I got to pick up two bags from the Mulberry for Target line and I'm so glad I did before it sold out online and Targets near me, I am oh so happy with my purchase!

It's nice and big, perfect for all the crap I carry around for no reason ;P Did you make any fab purchases this week?

Asian Celeb Inspiration: Elly Seo InYoung

I first took notice of Elly Seo InYoung while watching the Korean variety show "We Got Married." I liked her fiery personality and how loud and opinionated she was. I also loved that she was a bit of a fashionista herself, calling her shoes her 'babies' and shopping only for 'new arrivals.' Her love for fashion was further expressed on her own reality show called 'It City' where cameras followed her shopping sprees in Singapore and New York City. Here's one episode on Youtube, unfortunately there are no English subs, but it's interesting to see what kind of a shopper she is; one that doesn't look at price tags apparently LOL..sigh.. how I wish I could do that too!

Check out some of my favorite InYoung outfits:Elly at this year's FNO in Korea

At the Resurrection A/W 2010 Fashion Show in a Resurrection dress paired with an Alexander McQueen clutch

The best way for a short gal to look leggy is to show some legs ;)

But besides fashion this girl also has a great singing voice! On a sidenote: I totally envy this girl's shoe collection! over 120 pairs! I think I only have like 10 pairs...

Asian Celeb Inspiration: Li Bing Bing

I never got to introduce the lovely lady in my blog

banner above.

That, my dears, is 34 year old Chinese actress Li Bing Bing. You may recognize her as the White Witch in a little film called The Forbidden Kingdom with Jackie Chan and Jet Li. She's got one of the nicest smiles and looks great in every single designer dress that's thrown on her. I have major body envy... haha

Looking glamorous in Vogue China magazine

Unveiling her wax figure with Andy Lau at the Madame Tussauds in Hong Kong last month

Can you tell which is the real Bing Bing?

at the Dior Show in well, Dior, duh

Now that you guys have been acquainted with the lovely Bing Bing, I hope you will show your support and watch some of her movies, she's a really great actress! Earlier this year she worked on a film called 'Snow Flower and The Secret Fan' co-starring Hugh Jackman, (which had originally casted Zhang Ziyi, but she dropped out of it).

Raid My Closet Saturdays

It's sweater season! The temperature dropped this week and I am feeling that tickle in my throat that says a cold is coming :( I got my bangs (or fringe if you're not from the US) cut and I think I look more Asian than before...it's not a bad thing of course

Decided to go with some stripes this week (I have a lot of stripes in my closet...time to get some more prints to liven it up!)

belted?

or unbelted?

F21 black sequined tanktop, H&M sweater and belt, Uniqlo leggings

I'm catsitting for my neighbor this week, and he has been quite the pain, peeing on the floor instead of the litterbox! Does anyone know why a cat would do that?

F21 striped sweater and belt, H&M chunky knit sweater, Charlotte Russe jeans, Bass wedge sandals

Hope everyone is having a great weekend! =D

Music Video Fashion: Korea

Recently got back into K-Pop and I noticed that a lot of the female artists are either trying to out-Gaga or out-sexy each other. These ladies are not only great dancers but are also style icons.

Son Dambi, the Queen

You can't not Look, Look, Look at Chae Yeon

The ladies of 2NE1 make some bold and rock inspired outfit choices in their latest videos

The SNSD/Girl's Generation rock the military trend in their Japanese debut

The 2NE1 girls always get the hottest outfits for their MVs! I may not understand a word they are saying without subtitles but that doesn't stop me from dancing and singing to their songs and admiring their clothes :)

Who's your favorite K-pop group? I Love BIG BANG!

Asian Celeb Inspiration: Rainie Yang

Congratulations to Rainie Yang on her TV Golden Bell nomination! (Taiwan's version of the Emmys) YAY! I love how over the years, Rainie's style has changed from Princess of Cute to Queen of Fab. She's grown up a lot in her acting and fashion sense. Hi My Sweetheart was one of my favorite Taiwanese dramas this year so I really hope she wins!!!

Here are some of my favorite Rainie looks from the past year:

Rainie [wearing a Chanel dress] at the 2010 Venice Film Festival with Elanne Kwong

Can't wait to see her in her newest drama 'Sunshine Angel' with Wu Chun!

Uh-oh guys, Rainie's a fan of the harem pants -.-

Are you a Rainie fan? What's your favorite drama that she's been in? (Why Why Love is mine ;P)
