Who wore it better? Key, Katy Perry, CL or Jia

Hey guys,

So today we have another 'Who wore it better?' battle.

Remember when I said that I've got a feeling that more k-pop idols will wear this sweater?

Thanks to our lovely readers missbj and ham_mong we found out that 2NE1's CL and Miss A's Jia also wore the sweater.

But, the question is, who wore it better?

Key, Katy Perry, CL or Jia

Suzy was Miss A's representative on the 3rd anniversary episode of 131135 KBS Hello Counselor. The episode also featured Lee Jung Shin and Sung Si Kyung.

Next up, Jia and Suzy's selca? backstage of SBS Gayo Daejun 2013.

Jia, The Space Innovator

Hush, hush now. Miss A's Jia may be from space? No...she's not from space but is an innovator of space? To clarify things up, here's Dispatch's shot of her private life that may signal something. However, everything here looks normal. Miss A is walking, can you believe it?

The picture of the four looks like a stolen shot of models outside after walking in a prominent fashion show. Suzy is the delirious one, Jia's the bubbly one with the eccentric style, Min is the one who can't catch a break and Fei is the photogenic exotic beauty.

The bubbly one's style consists of two pieces from Joyrich's latest collection. The top is the Space Innovation knit top (available here) and the Space Innovation skirt (98$).

Fashion in Review: Miss A's 'Hush'

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?

T-shirts designed by Miss A's Jia

You heard right! Jia designed a couple of shirts for charity. 

You can get her shirts online at project-prototype.com for 59,000 Won.

Jia rocking her design.

But Jia's not the only idol seen wearing her shirts. In fact, we have a three-way 'who wore it better?'.

It's Jia vs. Sistar's Bora vs. Sistar's Soyou. Game on!

I think they're quite cute and for such a good cause.

What do you think? Are you going to get one?

Endorsement: Miss A for ROEM Summer 2013

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.

Approximate Finds: Jia, Key and Jessica

So as you guys know, it's hard finding some pieces exactly right. Kpop idols have so many haute couture connections that sometimes we don't know if something is altered from one source or just completely different. In many of these instances we don't post a find. Maybe it's because something we found seems to cheap to be for a kpop idol, or maybe something is just off.  Whatever the reason is, here are some approximate finds we've been keeping to ourselves.
This first one is another find from Miss A at Seoul Fashion Week.

Jia's bone-heeled shoes caused quite the issue for me. I'm fairly certain that her shoes were from Dsquared2, but all I could find was the number 1 version. Finally, I found number 2, which are also from Dsquared2. No buylink for number 1, but buy 2 here. Your other options are a pair from ebay (3) or some unnamed pair (4) here.

This next one is a request from key-to-jjongs-locket [I see what you did there ;)].
On the 17 March filming of Magic Concert, SHINee's Key wore a jacket similar to the Lihua Men's Galxy Jacket (pictured), which you can buy here.
Next up is SNSD's Jessica, who wore this red jacket at the airport.

This look-a-like jacket is from Stylenanda, but it's not available anymore :(. 
If you'd like more of these in the future, tell us in the comments below.

90's Miss A?

Let's take a break from all that SNSD and 'I Got A Boy', shall we? ;)

As some of you readers might have noticed, I am a huge Miss A fan! But even though they're my ultimate favourite girl group, they can actually make me think "hmmm...what was that?" sometimes. xD

New Year just passed and with New Year comes all the Gayo Daejun shows! We often look forward to these show, expecting a spectacular show, which beats the former shows several times - isn't that right? :P 

KBS2 went with a "popular music of the 90's" segment which might have been really interesting if you remember K-pop from the 90's ~ I'm not talking about just knowing it...I'm talking about living in the 90's and remember hearing those songs in the radio/seeing performances in TV or listening to the songs online (even though internet in the 90's wasn't something all too common). 

Sadly I'm not one of those people so most of the music and/or concepts kinda bored me...

Back on topic! Miss A participated in that "music from the 90's" segment with the song 'YaYaYa'. Many, apparently, thought Miss A was going to perform T-ara's 'YaYaYa' but that wasn't the case ~

Jia wore the Lipstick and Bullet Skirt from Fleamadonna paired with the Heart Blouse (I'd call it a shirt though...) also from Fleamadonna and their S/S 2012 collection.

I couldn't find a picture of the exact skirt, so went with the matching top instead. 

Kara's Seungyeon has worn this skirt also ~ 

(credit to Fleamadonna's blog for this "tip")

No buy link for the blouse (out of season) nor the skirt. 

But I do have a buy link for shorts in the same design as the skirt ~   

Suzy was in the Love Volume Dress also from Fleamadonna. 

It's from their S/S 2012 collection, so it's out of season and there's no buy links for it. :( It's super cute though, right? 

Lastly we have Min, who was spotted wearing this adorable CH x GY Reversible Skirt from Fleamadonna!

I think it's super cute but it just REALLY doesn't match to that top, which also is from Fleamadonna and is called Love Knit Top but I couldn't find it ANYWHERE. D:  

You can get the skirt right here for 196,000 won.

No finds on Fei from this performance. 

I really didn't like this performance...Cute doesn't really suit Miss A. They seem uncomfortable somehow. xD And I know the clothes are supposed to be retro, but I really didn't like Min's styling...Jia's and Fei's rocked though!! :D
