A Koala's Playground Posted on August 4, 2023 by ockoalaAugust 3, 2023

I love getting the periodic cute star couple check in and in the case of K-stars Kim Woo Bin and Shin Mina it’s especially touching as their relationship weathered his serious cancer diagnosis and treatment.

I always find Gucci clothes one of the most wearable of the couture brands, in that there are pieces that can be sexy, cool, unique, etc. but also worn in real life.
