My first Gmarket box arrived containing 2 black bags, the beige suede jacket, white sheet dress and hey, a blue beanie as a bonus! (which, by the way, doesn’t fit my head, it does fit my fist though.)

The bags are faux-leather so I fully anticipated it to look cheap, but once you carry it a bit, the way it slouches in the right places it really doesn’t look all that bad. Then again I’m very easily pleased – I get happy when I meet a fox in the courtyard, so I may be the wrong person to be writing this review. The suede bolero/jacket thing was a bit of a disappointment though – since it’s single-sheeted, it’s got no lining fabric, so you could see the mediocre stitching. Still, it’s got a very healthy looking sheen to it and the fabric is über light for summer. Gmarket items seem to be quite similar in price and quality to H&M, so that could be a quality reference for those who were wondering. What you pay is what you get, isn’t it in most cases?

Now please excuse me, I must go restock on some sleep as my life is slipping through my fingers and running away with the milkman. Sorry for the dead-ness of late.

Here’s a few cool shops you could visit:

Cinderella

Paparazzi Girl

Hepburn Boutique

All from Gmarket.com

Before I say anything, I just went through a bag of iceberg lettuce like it was a bag of crisps – you know, grab as much as you can in a cupped fist and shove it in your mouth type of crazed munching. Yeah…just in case you felt like lifting one eyebrow today.

I guess it’s been quite long since my last shopping post, and sorry that everything’s from Gmarket – I’d be happy to help anyone with shopping there, you just need paypal and it delivers to almost anywhere. All that up there, even including shipping to the UK, is worth maybe 3 items from Topshop.

1. Slinky white summer dress – Perfect for layering and as a basic summer piece – I don’t own enough dresses and skirts, it appears.
2. Double pouch bag – Men’s accessories tend to appeal to me more… I just don’t see myself carrying around a girly handbag.
3. Suede single-sheet Jacket – Yarr, it’s a single-sheet thin, and reversible apparantly. They had these in yellow and orange, might get another to studd the crap out of. I’m sure they won’t mind for £15.
4. Multi-Strap Flats – Hello Chloé knockoff. Not bad for £4.
5. Lace bootie heels – Reminded me of Jeffrey Campbells  – missing the ankle wings though. (£16)

I feel like a cheapass.

Oh for those who asked how the quality and fit of these clothes were – When you’re buying, always look at the feedbacks (they’re always in a graph at the bottom) – Koreans are picky people and if the feedback is bad then the item is surely bad. Other than that I wear almost every single item I bought from Gmarket – the shoes fit fine, and the quality is great for such a low price.

Are you blind yet? Sorry about the pictures, the yellow is overburnt – which really can’t be helped when you have Lightsabres as legs, you could cut steak with my shins.

Who takes your pictures? [Mira]

In London 85% of the time my friend Ellen takes my outfit pictures, 10% done by my bf, and then an occasional 5% by my brother. In Poland my mother and brother share the privilege of snapping (at) me.
All the DIY tutorial photos and photos taken inside my flat are done with my minion tripod and an army of  kittens. (They braid my hair on my pee break)

What is your favourite kind of breakfast? [Shin]

Pot roast? I’m not much of a breakfast person but when I do have one I think my favourite will always be very fruity pancakes + maple syrup combo – good healthy dose of sugar to jumpstart the day.

What’s your favourite colour? [Chloe]

Yellow. I guess it sort of defines my personality, you know, CAUTION, HAZARDOUS..etc.

How do you put your outfits together? [M]

I always start off with one statement item, be it in shape or colour – then I run around the flat half naked trying to build on top of that. I think once you have your big piece, everything else will fall in with all the necessary basics. Although, problem arises when I start out with a basic piece, then I end up changing 4 times and running out late without shoes. I suck at accessorizing so depending on outfit I either skip it alltogether or take way too long trying to untangle a necklace that sucks to begin with.

Currently hovering mid-air thrashing my legs around trying not to touch the floor as that would mean I need to resume my student status and actually go to uni. Hey, I happen to like the prestigious hobo occupation, check my CV, I totally quality.

(I’ll get back to Q&A asap, thanks for whipping me, some of you.)

In the meantime, can you smell that dear old Ellen is back? Thank you always for the pictures, stinkypoo.
