I think this is fantastic, partly because my friend has an amazingly interesting lifestyle and experiences to share of her own, which will enrich the blog tremendously as well as being able to reach out to a wider audience of native Koreans. And of course partly because I have the opportunity to work with my best friend.
Other changes will be the video blog, which will start sometime in early September, on street fashion, culture and nightlife. To complement the video blog there will be a picture blog with photos from parties, street fashion and other events.

I wouldn't like to call it a fashion blog, but it sort of is. It is about fashion, lifestyle and popular culture of the young crowd, including myself, in the city Seoul.

I have a very personal writing style, where I express my opinion and thoughts honestly, which is one of the great benefits of being able to publish stuff on the internet. Therefore I will occasionally address issues I think are important in our society and needs to be talked about, which I think is a terrible shame that more pop culture bloggers don’t do. /Paula 우리
