Sunny: Hit or Miss?
POSTED IN Hit or Miss, Polls, Sunny

SMTOWN Singapore 2012 was definitely a big hit, but another piece of shocking news was about our aegyo member Sunny! With photos of the concert surfacing, one very noticeable difference was the fact that Sunny had a new – more ‘colorful’ hair do.

She switched her iconic blonde pixie cut to a bright candy purple shade. The cut itself has also changed to a more clean straight cut, and her side part bangs have been transformed to a straight cut full bangs. The rounder shape of her hair is also more noticeable.

With her blonde pixie cut receiving generally positive reviews, we highly questioned how this hairstyle affects Sunny’s look. The inconsistency of the shade or color would make it harder to match outfits with (The gold “Mr. Taxi” costumes definitely don’t match with her hair), and the shape of the cut garnered comments of the hairstyle making her have a ‘mushroom’ appearance.

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen Sunny in stand out hairstyles (such as her “Flower Power” wig). Her positive and fun appearance always makes her able to pull them off, but does it look high fashion or too ‘avant garde’?

What do you think about Sunny’s new do? Is it a hit or a miss?

Outfit of the Week
POSTED IN Outfit of the Week, Yoona

Unfortunately the airport fashion this week was a bit of a let down with either baffling ensembles (nod to Seohyun’s blue sweater dress earlier this week) or styling that was quite repetitive (groundhog day with Tiffany’s coat/dress/tights combo). Fortunately, we were in luck to get an outfit from Yoona that brought our spirits up in a rather fashion lackluster week.

Yoona takes a big risk this week at HaHa and Byul’s wedding donning a Burberry Prorsum cord coat from their Fall 2012 collection.  Yoona’s cord coat is paired with black tights and leather boots and a leopard tote, finishing the look off with barely there make-up and straight locks.

This is a very hard piece to pull off given the tricky silhouette that can make the wearer’s figure look unflattering. Loving the risk that Yoona took, she takes Outfit of the Week bringing in a breath of fresh air to the usual formulaic dress code the girls abide by (short dress or skirt + high heels).

Yoona allows her coat to make a statement, going easy on the accessories and using a leopard tote that punctuates the warm tones of the coat. Not opting for a belt as seen on the runway it keeps things less busy and prevents the ensemble from being overwhelming. Details such as the gold zippers and buttons, brown tone and cord material make for a very season and event appropriate piece not upstaging the bride, while looking polished and keeping warm at the same time.

Sooyoung: Hit or Miss?
POSTED IN Hit or Miss, Polls, Sooyoung

As we move into winter, we’ve been seeing lots of fur this season. Sooyoung, a notorious fashionista, followed this trend as she appeared on an episode of SBS Midnight TV entertainment (11/14/12) wearing a Hairy Sleeve Sweater by Carven.

The first thing that comes to mind when seeing Sooyoung in this sweater is how large it makes her look! The hairy sleeves resemble the arms of a teddy bear and do nothing to flatter her body. The combination of the blue and white pattern with the puffy sleeves just doesn’t seem right. Those two areas seem to clash and compete for attention since they are two completely different concepts.

We don’t have a view of what Sooyoung is wearing on the bottom, but whatever it is, it probably won’t be able to save her from this sweater.

However, as always fashion is very subjective, so there may be some who see this Carven piece as fashion-forward or eccentric in a good way. No one can deny that it is unique and makes a statement.

What’s the verdict? Hit or Miss?

Outfit of the Week
POSTED IN Outfit of the Week, Taeyeon

Sometimes more is best and Taeyeon’s outfit at Incheon Airport this week is proof. The cold-weather ensemble takes a feminine route with Club Monaco floral print cords, which is perfectly balanced with a simple striped tee. Taeyeon’s shaggy wool jacket makes for a cozy add on, while the tan ankle boots finish the fall look.

A cool layered look that perfectly showcases her new Miu Miu bag.
