I find the differences in magazine spreads interesting. Many of these differences depend on the targeted audiences of the magazines (women and men). Let's take a look at November's magazine spreads in order to examine if there are differences between femme and homme magazines, and how those differences matter.
We are back again with a 'who wore it better?' post (and many more to come)
First let's start with a battle between 4minute's Hyuna and Brown Eyed Girls' Miryo.
They both wore a denim jacket from Steve J and Yoni P's AW 2013 collection.
Hyuna wore it in 4minute's 'What's your name?' MV (click here) and Miryo in BEG's 'Kill Bill' concept photos.
Who wore it better?
Hyuna or Miryo
surveys & polls
Next we have a triple battle between 4minute's Hyuna, miss A's Fei and Lee Hyori.
They all wore the Flower Laced Crop Tshirt from Stylenanda.
Hyuna wore it in a Instagram selca (click here), Fei in a group photo and Lee Hyori in a magazine photoshoot
Who wore it better?

The last battle is between SHINee's Key, Miss A's Jia and SISTAR's Soyu.

Kpop stars are famous fashionistas. They pick up on trends and take them to the next level. The stripes trend is no different. Groups coordinated different colors, sizes, and orientation of stripes, and they became a staple in 2013 Kpop fashion.
Let's take a look.

| 2pm figurines are fit |
This expectation of is ridiculous, and far from gender equal. Now, I am not saying that boy groups don't face the same standard; they do. Action figures of 2PM were released in February, and they feature semi-clad versions of the boys (Soompi). Now, I don't really understand why figurines need six-packs, but it goes along with the skin = sexy notion.
More often than not, guys constantly ripping off their shirts does not get as much negative feedback as girls in short shorts or mini-skirts. This is a double-standard and straight-up slut-shaming. I, personally, have no issues with any way someone dresses. The issue I have is that many idols would not choose these costumes for themselves.
With all the fabulous outfits in Lee Hyori's Miss Korea, I remember one that shows up for what, five seconds? No matter, here it is.
At first from far, Lee Hyori's outfits looks like eyes but close-up they are actually flowers.
This full outfit is from Opening Ceremony. The top is a 'floral jacquard long sleeve pullover' and unavailable online. The bottoms are 'floral jacquard leggings' and available here.
One last thing, Suzy has worn the red/white version in her Ceci Korea May 2013 cover.
That is all!

This is a tip from our lovely reader audrey via email. It is regarding a pair of sunglasses Lee Hyori wears in her 'Bad Girls' music video.
We haven't done this in a long time, I'm so glad to bring it back with Lauren. This time we're bringing you different opinions from different Korean magazine from May.
1. Lee Hyori for Vogue May 2013.
KD: Personally I think this shoot is fun and quirky, showing
a different side of Korea's Beyonce, Lee Hyori. From what I know, this shoot was inspired by "The Great Gatsby". It brings back the 20's with a modern touch by adding and accessorizing her with playful jewellery pieces. Great way to spice up the past!
Lauren: Honestly, Lee Hyori is sexy no matter what she's wearing. She is definitely a good person to play the flapper, and I think this shoot does a really nice job balancing a fun, avant-garde style with risqué sex-appeal. I adore heels and shimmering dresses, so I, of course, was in love. The shoot also has some very visually dynamic black and white shoots, which adds to the vintage style. All in all, a good round for Vogue.

2. So Ga-In for Harper's Bazaar May 2013
KD: I think this look made Ga-In look younger. I personally love
shoots like this in particular because it make the idols look cuter, and it really shows off their fun and flirty side. They used a lot of floral print in this shoot, really making spring more exciting and colorful. When I think of spring, I think of pastels and colors,
so this shoot really stood out to me the most.
Lauren: Ga-In looks great, but I'm not a huge fan of the basic pastel-decked idols on a plain background. Her light skin blends into the white background, so I guess, A+ for emphasizing her pallor? I do appreciate a good floral though. This shoot was typical, nice, and high-fashion; it just didn't "wow" me. My favorite shot was the blue outfit.
3. Park Han Byul for W Magazine May 2013
KD: I don't know about this look. Too many things
are going on, and her shorts blend in with the background. Plus, they're using too many prints and textures. I love the hair and make-up in this look, but it doesn't really pull the outfit together. Better luck next time,W!
Lauren: Park Han Byul definitely is sexy, but I really don't like this shoot. Her poses are awkward, and the various wooden chairs do not help matters. Even standing up, she looks like she is about to topple over; I think there is not a single picture in which both her feet are solidly on the ground. The styling is fine, albeit a bit lacking in accessories. The highlight is the various heels Park Han Byul wears. If you want to see beautiful Park Han Byul, I would just screen shot her drama, Couple Breaking.

Which was your favorite shoot from May?
Want more? Hate this? Tell us in the comments below.
I'm sure we envy the killer cute shoes our favorite female kpop idols wear from time to time. But hey were in luck! A lot of them are fans of a Korean shoe brand that has an online store (that ships internationally) and an actual store in Korea! ShoeSone is a Korean shoe brand selling trendy items that are "100% handmade."
Check out the idols below to join in with their shoe love!
First up Miss Korea herself Lee Hyori wearing what ShoeSone describes as an "ankle strap sheepskin enamel beige platform. Whew long name right? Grab them for $49,00.
If you wear this be prepared for a lot of stares.
An outfit from Lee Hyori's Bad Girls music video.
Screen captures by me.
The top and the skirt are both my Lucky Chouette. The call the top a blouse, the Neoprene Peplum (268 000 Won). The skirt is with the name material, neoprene, the Neoprene Color Flare Skirt (298 000 Won).

This outfit screams badassness.
This jacket is necessary to put dynamite into an old pervert's jacket.
That is one of the things Lee Hyori does in her new music video, Bad Girls.
The jacket she wears in the MV is by Kye, a Korean brand. Opening Ceremony lists this with Transparent Biker Jacket and 530$ here.
Some stuff.
At first I thought she was wearing the Unif Vapor Moto but it is slightly different.
Unif Kye
As you can see they are both very similar with the design. Both have similar zippers and buttons in the same place. The only different is that Kye has a belt and Unif's doesn't.
However usually Unif's jacket has this style. Just the transparent one doesn't.
This confused me very much.
Do you think one copied another?
Leave a comment if you read this far. :P

This is the dress you need if you ever want to flash someone.
Much like what Miss Lee Hyori did in her Bad Girls music video.
Finds from the music video is separated by posts with one find each.
It's quite a daring dress with black/white stripes and side cut-outs.
It is by LOVE, and Topshop sells it here for 32 Euros.
(can you believe someone actually has a clothing brand named love?)

Miss Ivy wears this dress with a key pattern from the previous collection.

Two Lee Hyori dress finds with the same brand. The post also helps filling up the tags.
First up, Hyori's dress on our banner and her with friends photo shoot for Golden 12.

This summery dress is called Night Garden by the brand Funktional. It can be bought here at farfetch for 107$.
The second dress is also by Funktional. Lee Hyori sports it in an episode of You and I. This one has amazing lace details and a peek-a-boo back. It is called Picnic. Sadly, it is sold out. If you have a link, please leave a comment.

From the title, you can guess this is a Lee Hyori post.
It is two different finds but in one post to save space? ... nope... it's the internet. Well...then just because.
1) Stars
The first find involves Lee Hyori's campaign with Puma. You will think everything in her advertisement is Puma but it is not. Luckily, the brand also fills in my tag for House of Holland. The tights she wears above is named Superstar Black Tights. Usually able to buy for 15 pounds however, there is none.
2) Green Highlighter

2) Green Highlighter
The second and final find involves an awesome green highlighter lace dress, words that do not usually mesh together. Lee Hyori hosts the show You & I. On the tenth episode this MSGM dress is featured. Asos lists this as Sleeveless Lace Dress With Full Skirt and at 339.20$ here. It is a sleeveless semi-sheer lace highlighter green dress. The details include two patch pockets with a fitted waist.
That is all!
Hope you enjoyed that or this!

A little distraction from the f(x) overload.
Lee Hyori attended Lee Chun Hee's wedding looking gracious as ever. On top, she was wearing a Mango (not the color :P) Al-Menox blouse in blue. With her hands, she gently grasped a Zara Two Tone Fabric Messenger Bag. The bag is relatively affordable comparing to other bags posted here. It is available here for 69.9$ US and they are cheaper in Europe. The blouse is 20$ more expensive priced at 89.9$US here.
I won't be focusing on f(x) because Koko seems like she has that covered.
