Test: Miss A: Fei

Let me start by saying, AHHH Miss A is back with "Hush". I have been loving them since my first glimpse of Jia's pink hair back in 2009. Therefore, I wanted to take the time to look at the simple fashion of their concept.

Even if the fashion is not the most complex or my favorite look of the year, there's no denying that the girls of Miss A are hot. Even so, I do have a couple issues with their styling.

One major issue I have with the clothing are the turtlenecks. EYK's Martina and I share a hatred for these awful articles of clothing. I think they look awkward, and the white turtlenecks with black bras are not my favorite combination. The black turtlenecks are paired with this weird dual-chain choker necklace that looks a bit like it belongs to a dominatrix while trying to imitate a dog collar.

I love their high-waisted faux-patent-leather pants, very sexy! I like how their turtleneck outfits shows a mature, sultry side of them. Unlike other Kpop artists (and concepts), Miss A is able to do the 'sexy' concept without showing a ton of skin. Their red lipstick, smokey eyes, and perfect hair all screams "attractive" without being obnoxious.

(See the pictures below)

The White Turtlenecks

The Turtlenecks + Dog Chains

Another set of outfits they wear involves tying sweaters around their waist to cover up shorts and crop tops. I think this look only fits the video, but not if someone is walking around in public. I did like that half of the girls (Min and Suzy) have their shoulders covered, because it's another way they show a more modest sexy. I even like Suzy and Jia's fishnets. I think their black outfits fit the mood of the song, and they keep a form of uniformity by all of them wearing the same shoes. Props to the hair stylists for making the girls' hair look effortlessly 'sex hair'-esque.

(See the picture below)

I do have one note on the video. I don't really understand what's sexy about dirty showers, trashed grocery stores, or abandoned subways. Yet, somehow, Miss A (almost) makes it work.

One a side note, I think it's interesting how face-time over the years has changed. I remember when Jia and Min were getting all the screen-time back in 2010, now it's more Suzy (!) and Fei.

Overall, the fashion was a 6/10.

Are you going to be supporting Miss A in their 'Hush' promotions? I know I am.

Did you like the clothes they wore in the mv or are wearing for their performance stages?

P.S. Who's your favorite member? I totally stan Fei!

The girls of Miss A are looking lovely in their endorsement pictures for ROEM Clothing. Check out some of our favorite group shots:

I think the girls match with the clothing line well. They are classy, but young and fun. My favorite outfit is Min's in the second to last picture. For more pictures click here.

Miss A was very active during Seoul's Spring 2013 Fashion Week.

On the red carpet, Fei wore the KKXX Leather Skirt from Stylenanda. Buy it here.

On top, she wore a shirt from Lie Sang Bong's S/S 13 line. It seems to be custom because I can't find it online. The heart seam is a staple of the line though.

Here's my favorite's from Lie Sang Bong's A/W 2013 line, which was featured during SFW.

These two came from the black&white section of his show. I like the simplicity of a basic structured coat.

These two looks remind me of Spiderman's enemy, "The Lizard": very weird, very futuristic, and green.

Hi guys, this is a new feature brought to you by KD and Lauren. We're going to share our opinions on Kpop Fashion from the week. Welcome to the April magazine edition :).

HOT:

1. G-Dragon for Allure

Lauren: Here's a busy background done right. GD looks great in a muscle tank. And while I'm not a fan of the mass of necklace he has going on, it works. I really love the pink and blue feather in his hair, and I think the overall "whiteness" of his look does well against the rich scenery. Contrast and harmony ring key in this great shot from Allure.

KD: Overall, this shot is amazing. I think he looks amazing. Good Job, Allure, you sure know how to make girls drools over GD.

2. Miss A's Fei in 1st Look Magazine

Lauren: This picture gets an 'A' from me. Fei looks stunning in subtle way. The stylists stuck to warm colors in the clothing (and meat), which contrasted the metallic, cool feeling of the scene. There is nice balance in the picture and enough visual interest that the looker does not get bored, but not too much that to focus is drawn away from Fei. I especially appreciate her headband and her makeup. Good job, First Look.

KD: Fei looks amazing, the choice of clothing fits her perfectly, although she reminds of a mom cooking. I’m loving her on Master Chef Korea Celebrity, have you watch it yet?

3. Sistar19 for CeCi Magazine

Lauren: Let it be know that good setup and nice photography go a long way in selling a product! I really love this shot. I say I would not have put the retro hair on the girls, but the twinsies look is working with the over-sized chair and table set. This is a shot done right. My favorite fashion piece has to be Hyorin's skirt, but I also like their shoes. Overall, this is clean and stylish. 10/10 for CeCi.

KD: Sistar19, nothing much to say. I’m loving the twin concept. One word, "GORGEOUS"!

NOT:

1. Lee Som for Vogue Girl

Lauren: Lee Som is really very pretty, but I couldn't see any of her natural charm in this awful picture. The poor girl was styled in a yellow on yellow, suede, track-suit-with-shorts-as-the-bottoms combination that was just not working. Not even to mention my loathing for most things Juicy Couture (say hello to the gross tangerine tee shirt). I mean, really, who even wears an athletic tee in a fashion shoot?! The only saving graces this shot has is good makeup and a nice, albeit distracting, scenery. Sorry, Vogue Girl, I'm just not feeling it.

KD: I’m just not feeling it, there’s too much going on. Not loving the look.

2. CL for i-D (a British Magazine)

Lauren: CL is my bias in 2ne1, but I'll be the first to admit that her (and Jeremy Scott's) fashion sense is not always on par with what I think is attractive. We see this no better than in the picture at right. In all overall fuzzy suit (with a tail!!), CL reminds me of Big Bird from Sesame St. rather than a fashion icon. Likewise, her skiing (?) outfit on the far right does not pair well with the cap, which is in a slightly lighter orange, and her shoes, which are some sort of heel and sneaker Frankenstein. I only hope that as Jeremy's "muse", CL can steer him back on the path of good fashion, featuring license plate shoes and cute skirts, and away from this over-dramatic train wreck.

KD: Let just say, CL looks like a bigfoot in the first pic. I love CL, but this sometime her fashion choices don’t really resonate with me. She’s like the GAGA of Kpop. The second picture looks as if a paint machine explode on her. Sorry Jeremy Scott, but these looks are just not my cup of tea.

Signing off,
Lauren & KD

Let's duke it out.

Remember vote for whom you think wears it better, not your bias.

Krystal vs Taemin

Recently, Etude House released more images of Krystal for their brand. She was styled with a bouncy, pastel pink shirt with the H&M pants.

On Taemin: he wore a Joyrich tee, a blue Walter van Beirendonck blazer and a floral cap.

surveys & polls

My verdict: Krystal. I like it simple. Taemin's styling has so many patterns and colours, much like SHINee's whole concept. I'm not into that.

Krystal vs Jessica

It's a sisterly battle. The featured item is the Topshop Borg Biker Jacket.

Krystal wore hers at the airport with a simple grey tee, a pair of belted polka dot pants, some sunnies and a fairly expensive bag. While Jessica wore hers at a fan-signing after the Banila Co.'s Beauty Talk with Jessica event. She paired it with a black-sleeved, white, see-through blouse, a pair of white jeans, some white pumps and a metal statement necklace.

online polls

My verdict: Jessica. Jessica's outfit was more styled up, and I prefer that to Krystal's casual look.

Sulli vs Hwang Jung Eum

This one will be hard.

We don't know what Sulli was wearing other than a necklace and her bowl haircut. On Hwang Jun Eum, she wore a white A-line skirt, a thicker necklace and a longer version of the bowl haircut.

customer survey

My verdict: Neither. It would be totally unfair to judge not knowing the rest of either outfits.

Fei vs Sunhwa

The featured item is the yellow Kwak Hyun Joo dress.
Fei wore it at the press conference for Dancing with the Stars 3. She also wore her hair back, a Vintage Hollywood bracelet and some lace detailed platforms. Sunhwa was at the SECRET live in Singapore press. With her, she had her hair down and with a headband, a bracelet and a ring.

surveys & polls

My verdict: Fei. For me she made the dress look more expensive. I liked how she had her hair tied up, but I'm not a fan of the bracelet.

Finally back with a Get The Look post! It's been quite a while since our last of these ~ Check out our Get The Look tag to see all of our previous post :D

This time we're going to take a look at Miss A, who recently had their comeback with the song 'I Don't Need A Man' or '남자없이 잘 살아' (I can live fine without a man) as it's called in Korean :P

Excited? Lets get this started ~

bouncy Suzy xD

Click 'Read More' to see the rest of this post! Go click it!! It's right below here :D

There are quite many looks in the MV actually ~ Each member has her own style in some scenes, in other scenes they rock an identical look all of them and in other scenes they rock a black/red look which I didn't include here.

We'll start with the group look ~

There are some key items in this look. One of them is the dotted top.

The crop-top is from Motel and is available at Karmaloop for 40$.

If you're not into crop tops, feel uncomfortable wearing such or just don't think they're that great for a every-day look, then go for a polka dotted T-shirt like this one from Catworld at Yesstyle for 17,10$.

The shorts are from MinkPink and costs 66$ at our friends at Karmaloop.

Get the lovely boots from the brand Mancienne at Yesstyle for 47,50$

If you really want to complete the look, then add a beige/light grey trench coat like this one from Korean brand Yerwang at Yesstyle. This one costs 98,32$ and is available right here.

Lets continue to the individual looks.

We're starting with Fei.

The shorts are from MinkPink and costs 66$ at Karmaloop.

There are 2 options for tops since I couldn't find one which was exactly what I wanted! :P

The one to the left is from RVCA and costs only 26$ at Karmaloop.

The top to the right is from *LA Boutique and is slightly more expensive at 43$ also at Karmaloop.

Moving on to Min.

This is a simple one ~

The adorable peplum dress is from the brand Jack Grace at Yesstyle. It's rather inexpensive priced at only 23,75$!

The gloves are without at doubt the most expensive item I'll ever put in a Get The Look post :S

They are from Alexander McQueen and costs a whopping 466$ and they're sold out! I couldn't find anything else which I deemed good enough xD I'm sorry guys...

Next up is Jia!

If you want to rock Jia's look, then you need a long tulle skirt! This one is really great and is available in a variety of colours :) Personally I think this look would rock even more if the skirt was black or grey, but don't worry, a white version is also available!

Get this skirt (or any other colour you want) here from Korean brand Beccgirl on Yesstyle. Price: 29,92$

I found this really cute top over at our friends at Karmaloop! Sadly it's currently out of stock, but it might restock :P It's from Marialia.

Finally we're down to the last member, Suzy!

You might recognize these shorts. They are still from MinkPink and still costs 66$.

Dare to look sexy? Suzy does, even though she's the maknae of Miss A.

Complete her look with this awesome bustier from MinkPink! Price: 58$. If you're not comfortable with showing so much skin, have a white or nude-coloured spaghetti strap top underneath (that's also warmer. It's getting pretty cold these days after all)!

Finally, to finish off the look, wear a checked shirt like the ones men who work in the forests wear xD It gives the otherwise feminine (but fierce!) look a rough, boyish edge.

Get this shirt here from Baimomo at Yesstyle for only 19$.

As mentioned earlier, Miss A just had their comeback with the song 'I Don't Need A Man'! :D

I really wanted to do more finds from the MV...hmmm...There really aren't many it seems :/

Oh well ~ good thing a comeback means a lot of performances! ^__^ There are plenty of finds in performances hehe ~

Fei uploaded a picture to Twitter of her and fellow member Min backstage at Inkigayo, eating dinner ~ yum!

The beautiful Fei is wearing a sweater from Wildfox Couture called Verona Cross Cut Off Sweater. She's also wearing this at the special performance of their song 'If I Were A Boy'.

You can get it here for 204$! Kinda pricey, huh? If it were cheaper, I'd buy it! :P

In the same program of Inkigayo, maknae Suzy wore a t-shirt from Joyrich while performing 'I Don't Need A Man'. To be more exact, it is called The NYC Tank Truck Top. Now say that fast 10 times in a row!

The stylists cut off the bottom half of her (and the other girls' t-shirts also) t-shirt to make a crop-top. And, combined with high-waisted denim shorts, making a 90's retro look ~ You can get this top on Karmaloop, sister site of PLNDR, for...I don't know 'cause it's out of stock :C

Lets hope for a restock!

Do you remember something about Miss A in the studio not long ago? Well we finally know what they were recording! Miss A (and probably Teen Top also, since they were in the same studio with the same producer) recorded a song for a campaign called Fly High. As far as I know it's about encouraging people to believe in themselves and encouraging people to love life. Something along those lines ~

A very good campaign indeed!

Click below to see more ~

In the MV for Miss A's song we see them wearing their own clothes, but on the homepage (or whatsoever they have) of the Fly High campaign, there are many other pictures of Miss A! And here's what they're wearing ~

Min is wearing a t-shirt from Korean brand Fleamadonna (they're all wearing this brand :P ) called Love Unbalance Shirt. It's from the 2012 S/S collection and I don't have a buy link.

Beautiful Fei is wearing a Fleamadonna dress called My Favorite Silky Dress (pink) and this was a pain to find a picture of. I swear! It's super lovely so I don't understand why there's no better pictures of it :C

Jia is wearing Fleamadonna's Cool half top. I've seen different artist wear this a couple of times now actually. But I'm still kinda fond of it, maybe because I just like crop tops in general xD

You can buy this top right here.

Suzy is wearing Flemadonna's Love x Love skirt. It is made from clear PVC (a type of plastic) and it reminds me a bit of rain jackets. It's really cute when styled correctly though!

Buy it here and remember to wear something underneath it xD

And lastly. Group picture time!! Give's you a better idea of what the clothes really look like, I'd say ~

~~and I'm just spreading a little love for Miss A lol xD~~

Fleamadonna should really upload larger pictures to their home page and blog. It's hard to find really good HQ pictures of their items :C It's only when I find a shop which sells Fleamadonna I find HQ pictures...

You'll have to live with some of the pictures being slightly low quality. Sorry xD

Two finds with the same person in a row! Woohoo I'm on a roll with this girl ~ hahaha.

If you haven't figured out yet, this is a find with Miss A's Fei. Normally there aren't many Miss A finds when they're not promoting songs, so having two finds with them in a row is rare.

Actually, I don't know where this find is from. I just know this picture popped up on my Facebook with the text "today is Chinese Valentines Day" (today being August 23rd) haha. It seems like it's a 'backstage' picture from a magazine shoot though ~ my guess would be a Chinese magazine.

This lovely dress is from Moschino and their S/S 2012 collection. I have a buy link from their official site but it's out of stock. Maybe they'll restock some time but I doubt it.

Ninillie ~

Oh my how I hate to rely on fancams only when it comes to getting good pictures of a find. Almost all the time the picture comes out crappy. Sighs.

Anyways ~ this isn't about fancams, but about a fashion find! I've been running really low on finds lately, and I'm trying to check if our readers are interested in some "get the look" posts, because I'll gladly make some to make up for my lack of finds :). Since I've been running low on finds, this came to me as a rather pleasant find, even though it was pure accident/luck that I found my way to it!

JYP Nation just had their annual concerts in Korea and Japan! ~~I wish I could attend~~ And of course all the artists performed many of their hits. One song that was performed was Wonder Girls' "Like This" but because it's JYP Nation's Concert and not Wonder Girls' solo concert, they teamed up with Miss A ~~JYP Girls all together woohoo!~~ for their performance! This is where my find comes in ~

Miss A's Fei wore a cropped t-shirt from Fleamadonna called Mad Half Top ~ As you can see there are two versions of this one ~ Fei is obviously wearing the white/black striped version :)

Since it's from an old collection, it's sold out. Even finding a picture of it was hard actually!

Bonus: you can watch the performance here ~

So for the upcoming issue of Elle Girl, CN Blue's Jonghyun wore a very colorful shirt from Joyrich x Giza.

This design has been used quite a lot lately...

Anyways! You can get it here for 14490 yen (about 184$.)

An older find from my folder!

Way back in February, Miss A wore Joyrich X Giza for their Touch come back and their special performance with Over U.

Min wears Joyrich x Giza chain skirt.

Jia wears the Joyrich X Giza dress and biker jacket in white.

I know you can't see Suzy's shirt on the picture, but it's there! She wears the t-shirt. I'm pretty sure her jacket had the Giza-print on the back but I can't find it!

Finally, Fei who wears the tank top.

BUY LINKS:

skirt here for 15540 yen
