Oak has recently released their own line of bags. This black leather fringe bag rocker bag is the first of the line. I especially like the mixture of textured and non-textured black leather and the oversized lobster clasp hardware. $589

Unlike previous years when the focus was on the local market, Seoul Fashion Week placed more emphasis on global competitiveness.
Korea Fashion Association chairman Won Dae-yun said the survival of the Korean fashion industry is hinged on its ability to compete with foreign brands. Many Korean designers and brands are known for their high-quality, but also for their expensive price tags.
``Most Korean garments are very expensive because they only focus on the local market. That's why they don't want to export. But the local market is already 50 percent occupied by foreign brands, so many local designers are screaming that they are having difficulty and can't survive. But they don't even try to make their prices lower,'' he said.
Won, the former CEO of Cheil Industries who was responsible for launching brands such as Bean Pole, suggested that Koreans should make their design, quality and pricing globally competitive if they want to make inroads into the international market. Or maybe even incorporate unique elements of Korean culture to make them stand out from the rest.
``If we do Western clothing, we should add some Korean aspects to it such as Korean colors or fabrics to make it different. Otherwise, why would they buy from us … Western people don't know much about Korean culture or lifestyle, so we should try to make them understand and recognize Korea. Maybe in five years or later, we can have a world class Korean designer or fashion brand,'' he said.
Interestingly, the government is pushing Korean fashion designers more aggressively into the international markets through fashion shows and events.
The ``Concept Korea: Fashion Collective 2010'' will introduce several Korean designers during New York Fashion Week in February. Organized by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Culture & Contents Agency, the project involves opening a Korean showroom at the New York Public Library from Feb. 12 to 14.
Six Korean designers have been chosen to showcase their collection: Park Choon-moo (DEMOO), Jung Wook-juun (JUUN.J), Chung Ku-ho (KUHO), Kim Suk-won and Yoon Won-jung (Andy & Debb), Hong Seung-wan (ROLIAT) and Lee Doii (Doii Paris).
Lee, who has worked for Christian Dior and Kenzo in Paris, says that Korean designers are very talented, but some haven't quite embraced the idea of going global.
``I think Korean designers haven't yet recognized the importance of being international yet because Korea has a tradition that Korean people stay together. But in the last few years, people have been more aware of the international market. But with the help of the government, I think it will start happening,'' Lee said.

One of my favorite stores in sl is most definately Modern Gypsy and after seeing some new releases on flickr I headed over there to check them out. Quite a few items caught my eye including the new skins, some very cool retro bags and of course the new summer range of clothing but my most favorite item of all was this very pretty Forever Gypsy floral dress. Quite often floral dresses are designed in soft pastel colors but what I love about the Forever Gypsy Floral dress is the vivid colors used in the textures. Above I am wearing the dress in Berry and it is also available in two other gorgeous shades. Along with this fabulous belt which is included in the purchase, the dress is designed with a sculpted skirt and arms, giving a very chic and stylish finish. The Modern Gypsy Floral Dress is without a doubt my new favorite for the summer and a real pleasure to wear.
Wearing: Floral Dress in Berry from Modern Gypsy, St Tropez Shoes in Pink from LeLutka, Push and Shove Hair in Blonde from Posh, Love me or Not Flower Hair Band from LaGyo, Summer Bangles from YS&YS, Satin and Lace Drawstring Bag from Shiny Things
Ohhhh I did something totally insane and spent money on a pair of boots that look like this: Yes. They will be here tomorrow. Wonderful Guess "Maeve" boots. Kind of gothic but I can't wait to wear it with my chiffon dress with tights and leg warmers, a black blazer, and some crazy coloured scarf.
So now for some outfits that I would gladly wear. Because we all have Lacroix, Moschino and Schouler lying around in our closets.

Dalam pertimbangan memilih sebuah busana, motif termasuk dalam urutan teratas selain Model. Keduanya merupakan satu kesatuan yang tidak terpisahkan, saling bersinergi serta menguatkan tampilan pemakainya.
Motif bunga atau floral print tak pernah habis digali atau pudar termakan waktu. Ia terus mencuri perhatian dengan beragam variasi.
Agar tidak terlihat ketinggalan zaman. Anda harus peka memilih motif yang sesuai dengan karakter pribadi dan tren terkini.
Untuk motif floral besar, lebar dan cerah sering kali memanjakan para fashionista. Motif ini biasa ditawarkan untuk gaun panjang, busana pas badan dan lengan balon yang tengah naik daun.
Jika Anda memakai kemeja bermotif bunga, sebaiknya jangan padukan dengan bawahan bermotif senada. Pilihlah bahan denim atau bahan kain untuk menciptakan kesan natural. Dengan begitu, Anda dapat menonjolkan kemeja yang dikenakan.
Bila Anda menghadiri acara semi formal dengan tema santai, model pakaian boho sangat cocok dikenakan. Model yang longgar dibagian pinggul ke bawah memberikan kesan feminim dan eksotis.
Untuk Anda yang ingin menghadiri acara resmi sebaiknya pilihlah bahan satin. Sementara untuk sepatu disarankan memakai peep-toe atau stiletto.
Maraknya pembukaan world cup beberapa hari yang lalu memang menyita perhatian publik. Salah satunya adalah penampilan Shakira yang luar biasa.
Selain suaranya yang indah, penampilannya malam itu tak lepas dari busana seksi yang ia kenakan. Roberto Cavalli ternyata pria dibalik penampilan spektakuler Shakira.
Desainer kawakan Roberto Cavalli ikut berpartisipasi dalam maraknya pesta bola dunia. Cavalli merancang pakaian penyanyi seksi Shakira untuk penampilannya saat upacara pembukaan FIFA World Cup 2010 yang bertempat di Johannesburg, Afrika Selatan.
Dengan membawakan single terbarunya yang juga menjadi lagu resmi FIFA World Cup 2010, Waka-Waka, Shakira tampil di panggung dengan mengenakan jumpsuit bermotif kulit zebra dan fringed skirt berbahan sutra. Untuk aksesorinya, Shakira juga mengenakan bracelet kulit dengan detail fringed serta hiasan mutiara.
Dua buah penampilan Shakira tersebut dibuat secara khusus oleh Roberto Cavalli. Sebelumnya Cavalli juga sempat merancang busana untuk Leona Lewis dan Spice girls untuk acara spesial lainnya.
Every article about skincare stresses how important it is to use a moisturizer with sunscreen. And up until this point, I had not been able to find a moisturizer with SFP that I have liked. Most moisturizers with sunscreen that I had tried previously felt greasy and often irritated my eyes. L'Occitanes Almond Apple Velvet Face Fluid with SPF 40 is my new go to moisturizers. The Almond Apple Velvet Face Fluid is part of L'Occitanes line of natural beauty products. It really contains all of the things I need in a moisturizer; protection, moisturization, and toning action. The product goes on smoothly and doesn't feel greasy at all. The light fresh formula contains essential oils and almond proteins to help improve the skins elasticity as well as almond milk to soften. While the organic apple vinegar helps to tighten pores and the organic apple extract refines the skins texture. The light apple almond scent is really refreshing and revitalizing. And if you love the scent as much as I do it also comes in a shower gel. Available at L'Occitane $39.
