What to wear: New Year’s Eve?


Favourite time in year, the biggest parties and perfect opportunity to wear something craaazy, just from Fashion Weeks. You don’t have to be afraid – no-holds-barred. 


1. Colour make your outfit special. It’s time to wear this yellow dress that you bought two years ago. Gold jacket? Emerald jumper? Perfect! You should think about red, electric pink or even navy lipstick. Really good idea!
2. Spangles and every clothes with gold or silver thread. It’s definitely time to shine! 
3. In your opinion gold dress is ‘too much’? Try tights in interesting design. Grid? Intensive colour? Stars? Elephants? I’m sure that you find something for you. 
4. Material! Velvet and velour are really trendy since last year. Let’s think. What about navy, velour mini  dress? In 100% it’s my choice for New Year’s Eve. 
5. Total look. Do you remember looks from this year’s Fashion Weeks? Every single thing in red or white. Example number 2 : everything velvet. I think it choice for somebody who is interesting I fashion. But of course – everybody can try everything.
6. Leave all your black clothes in wardrobe. Seriously! Black isn’t good for saying “goodbye” to 2017. It’s sad colour. New Year’s Eve isn’t sad at all. Easy. 
7. Blue eyelashes or eyeliner, red lipstick, glittery eyeshadow – you can create your look with amazing makeup.

Korean New Year

In early South Korea people were using lunatic calendar. Afterwards Korea and the rest of the world started to use solar calendar. All the same most of Koreans are using both of calendars to assign important dates and holidays.
We can say Korean are celebrating New Year twice.
First is New Year's Eve. They are celebrating it similar to the western traditions - they are organising parties and let off fireworks.
Second is Korean Lunar New Year (also know as Seollal). It consists of a period of celebrations, starting on New Year's Eve. It doesn't have definited date in our calendar, because it falls out differntly every year. Seollal is the first day of the lunar Korean calendar and it last three days.
Korean New Year is generally the same day as Chinese New Year. In South Korea, the festival centers on family reunions, food and placating the ancestors.
During the New Year festivities it is common for adults to wear the colourful traditional costume, the Hanbok. Men's hanbok consists of a shirt and baji which means pants in Korea, and women's hanbok consists of a blouse shirt or a jacket and chima, a wrap-around skirt, which is usually worn full.



I would like to see Korean celebrating their New Lunatic Year.
Because today is 31 of December I wish everyone Happy New Year.
See you soon!
