Tae-min is the tough romantic who never texts you back but fires up your heart every time he speaks or looks you in the eye. He’s the guy with tattoos and exquisite sartorial taste. He’s the James Dean, the Michael Hutchence, the one that mama and your friends told you not to mess with but […]

It goes without saying that I love clothes and own a few expensive items in my wardrobe. I’m the type who would be willing to trade in my first born for a Dior Homme AW17 fur bomber jacket – which, of course, I didn’t do only because I don’t have my child yet. While I’m […]
