Plus Nine Boys: Series review


This is my first time doing this. So bear with me.

Plus Nine Boys is a 2014 Korean drama series that just finished airing on the cable network TvN finishing at 14 episodes after getting its length axed possibly due to a mixture of low ratings and plagiarism accusations. I wanted to review it because not only did I like it a lot but because I feel it could have been so much better if it had more episodes to grow into.

Spoilers ahead! I warned you!

Autumn horror: Stuart Vever's Apollo sweater from COACH's RTW F/W 2014 Collection


I love autumn. I love the bright reds, oranges, and yellows that repaint the world. I love the crisp refreshing feeling you get when the cold air hits your face in the morning...making it feel luxurious to snuggle up in warm sweaters, sip on hot cider, and...watch horror movies??

Well, it seems like - unwittingly or not - our Asian celebrities are snuggling up in what is turning out to be a favorite this season - the Apollo crewneck sweater from Coach RTW F/W 2014 collection, which also happens to be the heritage brand's first ever ready-to-wear campaign as well as the debut collection for new executive creative director Stuart Vevers at Coach. Interestingly, his collection was inspired by the horror classic The Shining. Most of the pieces are styled after Shelley Duvall's character, Wendy Torrance, in the film; what Vever imagined would fill up the rest of her wardrobe on her stay in that hotel. However, the Apollo rocket sweater departs from that as it's inspired by the blue sweater worn by Danny in the film.



Many celebrities have donned this sweater including A Pink's Naeun, actress Kim Hyo-jin (Mary Stayed Out All Night), and Angelababy at various Coach events all in early September 2014; SNSD's Seohyun also wore the piece for Instyle Korea's September 2014 issue.
