Over at Seoul’s Jamshil Olympic Stadium, SM Town Live ‘10 World Tour officially kicked-start with a press conference before the reported 6-hour long concert! SM artists who attended this press conference include Kangta, BoA, U-Know & Changmin of DBSK, Super Junior, SHINee, Girls’ Generation, f(x), CSJH The Grace, Zhang Liyin, The TRAX, Go Ara, Lee Yeong Hee and more.

Even though we can’t be there physically to cover this highly-anticipated event, the stream of photos coming in are enough to fill our excitement!

Let’s take a look!

Media would never fail to make comparison between the Jung Sisters, Jessica & Krystal

Actress Go Ara (with Girls’ Generation Taeyeon) appears sophisticated in this black one-piece.

And who’s this lanky lady that SHINee’s Onew is giving way to?

It’s none other than actress Lee Yeon Hee from popular drama East of Eden. Yeon Hee stands out from the crowd in her refreshing red tube dress and her black ankle boots.

And here are more photos from the press conference :

Who do you think dressed the best?

Personally, I loved BoA’s and Girls’ Generation Soo Young’s looks best; simple yet so elegant and stylish.

Mulberry Alexa Bag

Everyone loves Alexa Chung including me, Mulberry even named one of their new spring/summer 2010 bag after the “girl of the moment” and fellow Brit called Alexa. The Alexa bag is slated to hit stores on January 11th and comes in regular and oversized shapes. It is available in all leather (oak, navy, yellow, black), a lambskin with snake trim (pink, black), shiny leopard print (oak, pink) and a great summer tweed (beige). The bag works well in the utilitarian trend that was prevalent on the SS10 runways.

When Emma Hill, creative director of Mulberry, saw that Alexa was carrying an old Mulberry men’s briefcase style, the Elkington, she loved and was inspired by the look it created. She took the masculine briefcase shape, updated it a little bit with some feminine touches and named it after the inspiration – Alexa. Emma presented the bag to Chung and she immediately fell in love with it – she could not stop carrying it during SS10 NYFW and still carries it to this day.
