INSTASHOT: Throwback to South Korean adventures + vlog!!
This post has been lost somewhere ahah. You know, that usually when I come back from my trip, I go to my blog and post an article full of instagram shots. That's what I was supposed to do with this post as well, but somehow, there were so many things going on in my life that I forgot to make it.
Anyway, now that I finally created my travel vlog (yess, very first vlog of mine), I think it would be cool opportunity to post it here, together with my instagram shots.
And guys, you can't even imagine how excited I am about this vlog as it's my first video like this that is ever posted, so be understanding, it might not be perfect, but I am planning to improve!
Anyway, let's see if you like it and maybe if you do, I can create more videos like this for you to see, especially when it comes to travelling! If you don't know, here you can see an original travelling videos from Korea.

SOUTH KOREA TRAVEL DIARY + video
So it has been almost a month since our trip to Korea. I am very happy to be able to show the last post from the trip which is going to be a little bit different from the ones I have been posting during my travel. This time I am about to do a wrap up story which would mostly include people, food and places. Maybe you're about to visit this amazing country? Then it would be perfect for you to check on some things before you go, as we did visit some awesome places there. I am going to leave short captions along the photos so that you could understand what the photo is all about:)
Now it's time to stop blabering, go get some coffee and snacks, cause you're about to see some culture shock here and there.

Around Gangnam in white
Not too long ago I came back to Lithuania after 4 weeks spent in Korea. It was a magnificent journey and I will totally miss that country and its people. Now that I came back home I still have some looks left to post on my blog. Here is one look from a stroll back then in Gangnam! Take the look at my look, which I chose to be very simple and minimalistic this time and some shots from the Banana tree cafe where you can get their well-known flower pot puddings and cotton candy drinks.

The hanbok story
One of the most memorable thing I got to do in Seoul or in all Korea was probably the drama cafe I went to. I know, sounds quite funny, but believe me it's so unique and awesome, that I will remember it for the rest of my life. So the main point here is pretty clear. You go in, choose the dress, order the drink and just after that get dressed yourself. You can be whatever you want, a bride, princess, fairy, or my most favorites were Korean traditional hanboks of Gisaeng (pretty much the same as Japanese geisha), Empress or you can choose any other role in the palace. So I chose the attire of the Empress in bright red. I couldn't even imagine it weights a lot, but it does. The piece was super heavy.
I took some shots there and then had to dress of the dress in order to finish my coffee since you can't do that with the clothes on. It was super awesome experience as you never really do these kind of things on daily basis and not to mention, I got to wear one of the traditional clothing pieces that do excites me the most about this thing.

Kitty paradise in Korea
Some days ago I visited one lovely place in Myeongdong district, Seoul. Believe it or not, it was a cat cafe. In Korea it's a very common phenomenon, to enjoy coffee and pat a kitty at the same time. So I decided to go and see for myself what kind of feeling and place is that so called kitty cafe. And just as I thought, it was nothing, but kitty paradise. Just as we stepped in the cafe, one lovely cutie pie decided to come closer and say 'hi'. When we went to order our coffees, guess who were sleeping on the bartenders table? yup, there were about 5 kitties laying. I don't know how about you, but I was completely taken away. It was really a nice experience and I recommend for you too, go and visit.
Lost and found in Seoul
On one of the last days spent in Seoul we decided to head to some traditional dessert place to taste the sweets that were here long long time ago and even now they're just as popular. On our way we stopped to take some photos and as you can see I am wearing my super awesome vintage, military-like jacket. I am totally loving it!

The colour block
How is it going with your summer looks, guys? not struggling at all? like at all? Because well in Korea I took my ten top most wearable clothes I use to wear all the time and the rest is up to me to buy on spot when I feel like it's going to match the goodies I have in my luggage. It's some kind of telepathic stylist job that you have to do here. It's not that easy, to match clothes that you have with the ones you see in stores and make the outfits in your head only, because you can't dress everything up and see it how it really looks. So yeah, for me to keep making up the outfits and posting them on blog daily, like I usually do, in Korea is quite challenging. But then again, do they all have to be extravagant and breath-catching? nope. Do they all have to make me look, like I am going to some fashion week? nope. That is why I don't feel any pressure at all here and I am just cool with posting stuff that I am traveling with and this time it's the colour block that I came up five minutes before actually heading out to the center. Feel free to judge guys? And if you have time, feel free to share your traveling outfits. What are they like? I am curious to know.

Hello Kitty Cafe
Hello from Seoul, everyone! Here I am again with another post from this amazing country, this time I took some shots of the Hello Kitty Cafe in Seoul that I got to visit some days ago. To match the theme I picked my new pink bodysuit which I got as a gift from Tally Weijl! It matched perfectly with my new trousers which I got to buy in the local market in Seoul. The price was only 3 euros, can you imagine that?!? Planning to buy more of these in the coming days. definitely. This sporty/chic kinda look was just perfect for this hot day in Seoul and especially in this super cute cafe!

Pink heels and the Palace
10 days in Korea has passed and I can say I love it more and more. I am already preparing my luggage for the beach, so you just wait! And now, while I am still in the capital I am exploring some more of the cultural and historical sights it can offer. For instance, this Gyeongbokgung Palace was the highlight of the day. The biggest palace in Korea was the main royal Palace of the Joseon dynasty.
To match the theme, I picked my princess-like heels haha. I believe it matched my 'sporty' kinda outfit pretty well.

Dining in Itaewon
Hello hello from Iteawon! The area of Seoul famous for its international concept. By international I mean, the cafes and restaurants are offering food from the different cuisines of the world, such as British, German, American, Japanese, Thai, Russian, Indian, Mexican and so on. You can find it all here, in one place. You may also find Korean restaurants too, but if you have Iteawon in your GO-TO list, keep in mind that this district is all about cultural diversity. (You may also do some shopping there and clubbing too). Korea is really wonderful in this respect. If you look in the surroundings of Seoul you may see various places such as Itaewon, Myeondong, Insadong and all of them are specialized in something and each place is different from one another, that's why it makes Korea very interesting country to visit. It just won't be boring. There are surprises everywhere you go.

Our apartment in Seoul
Welcome to our apartment in Seoul! It has been our sixth day here in Korea, so we though why shouldn't we take some pictures of our apartment and the view it has to offer? We also headed to the roof. Since we're living in the last floor, it's right besides our flat. We went there in the daytime, because we had some other plans prepared for the evening, but believe me the sunlight here or even the nigh looks super magnificent and maybe I will take some shots later of that too, we will see.

북촌한옥마을
So happy to show you the photos from the 4th day in Seoul. This day was special since we got to explore the 북촌한옥마을 a.k.a Bukchon Hanok Village. It's the historical town located in the heart of Seoul. The most awesome thing about this place I think is that people can live there and therefore quickly get in touch with the Korean culture and history, which is so important, if you want to know the country better. The town is super awesome, very peaceful and quite and perfect if you want to relax from the busy hectic city atmosphere. I really enjoyed today and made a lot of photos for you to see. Take a look.

Exploring Korea!
On my second day in South Korea I together with my sister decided to explore it a bit more. Our plan included lots of eating and shopping today, so therefore we decided to visit or more like we happened to visit Namdaemun market and the shopping district Myeongdong.
The first object, I may say is suitable for those, who would like to get a taste of cultural and historical side of Korea. The market itself dates back to the XV century, therefore it's a rich historical heritage which also can offer a big range of goodies, from food to domestic thingies. I don't necesarrily shop in markets, but I love to visit them, since it does tell a lot about the country. Myeongdong, on the other hand is full of youth and modernism. Music, make up stores and street food are the key words here. You go around, have some snacks from the street vendors and go around the make up shops. There are a lot of them, side by side next to each other. It's crazy, it's super cool.

Hey, Seoul!
So here is the 1st day in Korea, which I got to spend in Seoul in one awesome region Hongdae. The streets of Hongdae are boiling with people and shops and cafes. There are so many things to see and to do. I must admit, though, I have underwent quite a huge culture shock. For me those sights and sounds are quite unusual and even shocking, but not in a bad way. I love it here! The people, the food, everything! Visiting Korea has been one of my lifetime goals and one of the biggest dreams and now that I am here, I can assure, that this is exactly where I want to be.
On the first day here, we done a little shopping and had so called kimchi pancake for dinner,, this is something you should definitely try, when visiting Korea.
