Happy September friends! Today I am super excited to bring you an awesome DRESS GIVEAWAY hosted by Yena, the fashionista behind Kfashionhouse! I found her shop through a mutual friend (thanks Janet!) and I absolutely adore everything about it. Kfashionhouse is an online clothing store dedicated to bringing you, beautifully designed Korean and Japanese style fashions at affordable prices. The merchandise is trendy, sophisticated, fun but also comfortable to wear for every-day women and for fashionistas everywhere.

{Meet the Shop Owner}


1) Tell us a little about yourself.

I am a caffeine-loaded, Lancome eye-liner obsessed girl who, just over a year ago, decided to take fate into my own (fashion-needy) hands. My whole life has consisted of obsessively reading Vogue and WWD, watching copious amounts of FashionTV and constantly channeling some fashion icon or other. (Currently channeling Vivien Leigh-for those who care to know) I am that girl who just can’t say “no” in Nordstrom even when my credit cards are crying out in pain. I may be labeled as one who has their “priorities all out of wack” because I would honestly prefer to starve for two weeks in order to buy a pair of Louboutins, but I feel fashion feeds my soul.

2) How did you get the idea to start up your shop?

A few years back (in college), I became obsessed with cultural fashion pieces. Think Kimono-inspired skirts and Hanbok colored scarves. Since then, I’ve immersed myself with learning about Asian fashion trends, Korean styles and Japanese street looks. It made me realized that my true calling in life was not tax law (plans of going to Law School) but fashion. Fast forward 3 months of craziness, sleepless nights, trying to communicate with Chinese merchandisers and Japanese Jewelers (I’m Korean), while attending school and voila! I opened my very first store. It represents who I am in every way, because I literally hand-select each piece I choose to have in my store. I also decided against going the big-name designer route because I wanted to cater to “struggling” shopping-gals, just like me, who want champagne on a beer budget!

3) What are some must-haves in every girl’s wardrobe?

A well-tailored black blazer, gorgeous brown leather boots, a fantastic pencil skirt, and a statement necklace (it can dress up any plain top or outfit).

4) What is your favorite item in your shop?

It’s hard to choose but it would have to be the Fine Lace Napoleana Blouse (perfect under a mini leather jacket with cowboy boots) and the Midnight Rendevous Dress (which happens to be the dress we are giving away today)!

{Reader Discount}


Yena is sooo sweet and is offering my readers a special discount.  From now through Wednesday, September 15, if you enter code “ALAMODE15OFF” at check out to receive 15% off your total purchase! How cool is that? I’m totally going to buy a dress… or maybe two! ;)

{Giveaway}


Isn’t this dress so beautiful and sexy?  Great as a present or for yourself, it would look great worn as is or over tights/jeans and paired with tall heels!  Currently all of Kfashionhouse items fit a size Small (2-6) but they will be getting more size options in the near future.
