Naksan Park and Ihwa-dong Mural Village
For a day of exploring Naksan Park and the nearby Ihwa-dong Mural Village, Catriona made sure to pack all her essentials in her spacious Coach Brooklyn shoulder bag. Jumping off from her carry-all's rich chocolate brown leather, she donned a breezy mock neckline sleeveless top in the same hue, a plaid mini skirt, skin tone tights, and her trusty V2K kicks to cushion her feet.

Namusae Tea House, Insadong
There's no better way to get to know a city than through the delicacies they serve. And of course, you can't call it a Korean food trip without hunkering down with traditional tea. Catriona opted for the picturesque Namusae Tea House in Insadong to enjoy her cuppa.
For a chill day of sipping tea and exploring art galleries, Catriona cozied up with a sky blue vest over a classic white shirt and denim jeans.

Shinleedoga Cafe, Hongdae
"Another day, another cute café," Catriona wrote in her caption. And in case you didn't know: Shinleedoga Cafe is a well-loved spot that's quietly tucked in a traditional hanok right in the heart of busy Hongdae.
For her cafe date with "Mama Gray," she nailed effortlessly cool by throwing a casual oversized Hogwarts sweatshirt over a white collared blouse and bubble skirt. Chunky earrings, brown sunglasses, and pearl barrettes completed her look.
