Aloha Hawaii!

After my mini Asia tour last month, I ended the last part of the trip in Hawaii for my brothers wedding. It was nice to finally rest and sit still after having so many non-stop days of running around in Asia. Check out snippets of my trip…

JULY 14th-19th : HAWAII

My family rented a beautiful beach house in Kailua. I woke up to this every morning…

My sweet escape…Beach Babe For Life!

LOVE spending time and being silly with my nephews. They always make me SMILE.

My nephew Drew. I LOVE this picture…TOO TOO CUTE! Definitely a postcard image!

Awwww…my babies. They’re growing up so fast.

Went kayaking for the first time. It was fun until we tipped over. That was an experience!

When you’re in Hawaii you have to check out Hanauma Bay for the snorkeling.

The 2 divas in my life…Janet & Allison.

Not bad for my first time right? Yeah, I got skillz! Whoop! Whoop!

My lil’ bro’s big day…we couldn’t have asked for better weather!

Wedding day! My dates. Tuyet & Isi. It was great reuniting w/Tuyet in Hawaii. I LOVE her!!! She was one of the first members of YK Family. We missssss you Tuyet! Come back to NYC soon!

Sneak peek…YUMI KIM Bridesmaids dresses coming out Spring 2011! So Pretttty!

Love seeing my family so happy.

My friend Fernando having a good ‘ol time.

And there you have it…My lil bro is no longer a little boy. Sniff…Sniff…Sniff… Nope, I’m not crying because I’m happy for him…I’m crying because he beat me to it! Hahhaha…J/K!

I had such a wonderful time in Hawaii spending it with my family and friends. I’m definitely renting a beach house again in Kailua. Not only was it beautiful, it’s so quiet & peaceful there. Definitely good times. Xx

Ridin’ the SEOUL Train!

After all these years of traveling to Asia, I finally made a pit stop in Seoul, Korea. Wow, why did I wait so long?! I guess sometimes it’s better late than never. Check out my 2 days in Seoul eating and shopping my heart out!

JULY 12th-14th: 1st vist to Seoul, Korea!

Park Hyatt hotel, hands down one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed at. Amazing service!

Dongdaemun area in Seoul. Garment buidlings & Shopping Markets!

I spent an afternoon sourcing in the garment district. Love that it’s so organized!

Decision time!

Love looking at new fabric developments. Inspired!

So many options…

Lunch time @ the garment center’s food court.

$6 for all this?! OMG, amaaaazing meal! Bugolgi Bibimbap! So freakin good!

Cute little shops in the local markets.

Gotta check out their public transportation. Super clean!

I love their train system…so easy!

Yeah, you can find men rockin prints outside of Hawaii! How cute right?!

My favorite soda!

I’m all about street food when traveling. I want to try everything!!!

Asia always has the best vending machines. So cute!

Dried squid + Cold Beer = Absolute Delight!

Last night in Seoul we met up with Woori (used to work @ YK Shop). Aww, she’s all grown up now!

Had an amazing time in Seoul! Have to say, it’s now moved up to be one of my favorite cities to eat (food was great everywhere!) and shop (sucks that I was a size LG in everything!) at in the world! So bummed I had only 2 days here. I’m definitely coming back soon! Next time around, I’ll do all the tourist stuff first before shopping. I can’t believe we spent an entire afternoon in Doota (my favorite shopping center in Seoul)! Till next time, Seoul – You Super Rock!!!!
