Some of our favourite places in the world
Snaps Shots from Insadong Seoul South Korea
Lynda and I have just come back from working in Seoul, we managed to get a few hours to take a look around the city and visited an area called Insadong. This is a long shopping street where old meets new, independents and multinational brands share space, and a boiling pot of cultures.
Here are a selection of snap shots from our wander around this amazing area.
Fence Art – Shorditch Overground Station
Ending up at Shorditch overground station on Sunday after an afternoon adventure in and around Hoxton, we noticed the beginnings of an interesting exterior art instillation on the fences outside the station. People have been leaving padlocks attached to the fence, some with messages, some with drawings on them and some just left as they are. Also parts of the fence have been woven with wool into hearts.
I love that this type of art is organic and will take on a life of its own, and can’t wait to pop back to see it growing.
Is this happening anywhere else?
New York – Pottery Barn
After popping into Williams Sonoma I went next door to see how sister company Pottery Barn was looking and I wasn’t disappointed. The store was looking great lots of visual displays and great products.
