Everything Chanel

I recently saw this beautiful picture on Pinterest and wondered how I could recreate this look. The bulk of the decor is Chanel inspired.

Since I don’t have a lot of furniture in my little Korean apartment I will have to first get the staples like the couch, armchair and desk, but I have to make due with what I have for the moment so this is what I will need.

Modern Armchair, Parsons Desk, Leather chair and Modern Chesterfield style sofa

Various options for wall deco to recreate the look on the walls next to the curtians

Curtains and carpets

I saw these lovely pillows on Etsy

A habit I wish I didn’t have

Today is day 4 of my 30 day blogging challenge. So far so good…

One habit that I wish I didn’t have is.. wait for it… impulsive on-line shopping. Usually when we go to Seoul for shopping I have my husband to keep me in check. But when it comes to on-line shopping all I have to do is press proceed to checkout. The only thing that stops me from spending too much is that I can only import 150,000 won’s worth of products per order from international on-line stores but local stores like G-market and booking.com has no limits.

Here is what I’ve bought this month.( some of these were for myself and others were gifts)

Wow now, only when I had to gather the pictures for all my purchases I realise how much I’ve actually bought this month 😮

Currently I don’t have any pets with me here in Korea, but we have 5 dogs that are living with my husbands parents in South Africa.

The meaning behind my blog name

June 7, 2016June 6, 2016Leave a comment

Simple. I live in Korea and wanted to write about my life and experiences in Korea. Initially we came to Korea to use it as a stepping stone to immigrate to another country. But now since we’re here we are thinking of making it our new home even if it is just for the next few year as no one knows what the future holds. If you told me ten years ago I will be living in Korea now I would have called you out for bullshitting me.

My brother always quotes Robbie Williams by saying “I sit and talk to God and he just laughs at my plans”. This is absolutely true. We have made so many plans with our lives but in the end its not up to us no matter how much you try to take it into your own hands.

So… here we are in Korea living it up 😀

I have decided to collaborate with one of my blogger friends – in doing a 30 day challenge to see if I can maintain a whole month of daily blogging. So here goes….

Some random facts about me…
