Award Show Fashion: 2010 SBS Drama Awards
Last week was the SBS Drama Awards in Korea and compared to Hong Kong celebs, Koreans are a lot less daring and believe that simple elegance is the best. Let's start to critique:
Nam Gyu Ri looked like a princess in this simple and chic tulle gown. I wish someone sponsored her some jewelry, it would've looked great with a large statement necklace. Without any accessories, it leaves the style looking unfinished.
Han ChaeAh looked ultra femme in this overall elegant silhouette
Min Hyo Rin donned this sparkling silver mini and sexy platform pumps to the show.
Han Hye Jin paired her luxurious purple gown with shiny gold shoes making purple + gold my new favorite color combo.
My new favorite couple Ha Ji Won and Hyun Bin from the drama Secret Garden (look forward to a drama fashion post soon!) Aww, I love how they coordinated their dark blue outfits, I can't stop gushing over them!
Kim So Yeon in a beautiful black gown that not only accentuates the body but also draws the eye up with an interesting cutout. Kinda wish she spent a bit more time on her hair.
Go Hyun Jung looks very top heavy in this gown
Park Jin Hee, Lee Soo Kyung and Lee Bum Soo all chose plain and simple black ensembles
Kang Sung Yun donned an all black one-shoulder gown, again nothing too exciting
Hwang Jung Eum kept it demure and simple for the event and opted for an embellished deep-v dress
Hong Ji Min popped a pose in the only other purple gown of the night
WonYoo Min in a very matronly printed dress.
Moon Chae looks ready for bed instead of the red carpet in this lacy nightgown
Yoo Ho Jung, as the material is probably stiff and length of the gown is too long it results in a very sloppy pile at the bottom of the dress. The poof sleeves and the big fur vest just adds to the clunkiness of the outfit.Sound off with me, leave me a comment below with who you thought was best dressed!

Thank you all for following and supporting my blog, it means a lot to me! I've gotten to know a lot of fabulous and interesting bloggers in the past 5 months and I'm looking forward to getting to know you gals even more this year!
The lovely gal over at Oomph gave me a Stylish Blogger Award and I happily accept! Thank you so much for picking me! I love all the looks that she puts together and I feel that we have similar taste in clothing. She's FABULOUS, so go check her out:
Rules to accept the award are:2. share seven facts about yourself
3. give the appreciation and award to seven bloggers, and let them know of their given award
7 Facts about me:
1. I started this blog because I missed working in fashion (I interned at Rebecca Taylor during my senior yr of college) and felt that this would be a great outlet for me to sound off on my opinions of the latest fashion trends, etc. I decided to dedicate it to Asian fashion and celebrities because I felt that we weren't getting a lot of love in the media. It's not very often that I flip open an American fashion magazine and see an Asian model or go to a website where they give a full fashion rundown on an Asian Award show. All in all, I have mad Asian pride! haha
2. I rarely buy clothes that aren't on sale. I loves me a bargain ;)
3. I like to make my own jewelry, mostly earrings and bracelets.
4. I have been addicted to vampire novels long before Twilight (I liked the books more than the movies, even though Meyer isn't that great of a writer :P). Recently finished the last book in the Vampire Academy series, so good!!!
5. Breakfast at Tiffany's is my all time favorite movie.
6. The only instrument I can play is the clarinet.
7. I speak fluent Cantonese and Mandarin, passable Spanish (although I sound like a native speaker cause my mom can speak it fluently and she always corrects me till I get it right !_!) and I am currently teaching myself Japanese and Korean via iPod apps and idol dramas xD
I'd like to pass this award to 7 other Fashionable Asian bloggers whom I've been following and admiring this past year:
1. Michelle at MichelleEsque
2. Annie at WhatAnnieWears
3. Jenny at JennyFromTheBlock
4. Eli at BoboLeeStyle
5. Aileen at AileenClarisse
6. Jen & Sherry at Jennifer & Sherry
7. Jen at HerWaiseChoice
I hope everyone has a Happy, Healthy and Stylish New Year!
And I really hope it doesn't snow anymore in NY!
I leave you with this picture of me standing in knee-high (I'm only 5 ft tall) snow trying to shovel my car out, the aftermath of the after X-mas blizzard @_@

Award Show Fashion: 2010 Metro Radio Hit Music Awards
Yesterday was the 2010 Metro Radio Hit Music Awards in Hong Kong and all the major singers made an appearance to accept the Empire State Building looking award.
Girl group Twins' Charlene Choi and Gillian Chung are my picks for best dressed. Both picked short chic dresses and matched their shoes with their outfits. I love that Gillian is wearing the Lanvin x H&M ceramic necklace, looks perfect with her strapless dress!
Joey Yung looked a lot better in her press room outfit than her award show outfit (scroll down for worst dressed)
Vincy Chan opted for a grecian style jumper and accessorized with gold bangles
Stephanie Cheng performed in this cute ruffle one piece
Pale people are just meant to wear bright red, love how it stands out against her skin
Stephy Tang performing in a lace top and yoga pants
Girl group Hotcha in coordinating black outfits, loving Crystal's (far right) metallic dress!
Sherman Chung in a long red gown, would've looked better unbelted since there's already some detail on the waist, looks like there's too much .
JW in an unimpressive all black ensemble
Janice chose menswear over a dress
Miriam Yeung (left) has never had a very good eye for fashion, she'll always be seen in odd dresses or in this case blazer. Joey Yung (right) on the other hand decided to go as a feather duster.
I don't know what Kay Tse was thinking when she decided to go in this tulle mess, wasn't winning 3 awards enough to gain some attention?!
G.E.M performing "Good to be Bad," when she should be singing "it's not good to look bad!" @_@
