11 Must Listen K-Pop Songs: PART I

Is your summer playlist lifeless and dry? Are you tired of the same old K-Pop songs? Here's your solution! The thing about K-Pop is that the best songs are always hidden in the album. Sure, title tracks can be good, but the album is where you find the hidden gems, and trust me when I say the search is worth it. Here's a couple of gems I unearthed. 


1. Te Amo - U-KISS
Te Amo is perfect for summer what with it's signature U-KISS electronic sound with some saxophone to mix it up, producing a club-worthy summer song. The beginning of the song may sound strange and dubious at first, but since the song is scattered with several hooks, climatic bass drops, and an addictive chorus, it's easily overlooked. And if the shake-your-hips beat doesn't move you, the lyrics are sure to melt the hearts of KissMes worldwide. Plus, brownie points for the Spanish phrases.


Location I think of when I listen to this song: Bonfire party on an exotic beach and/or on a fancy yacht.

2. Green Light - G.NA feat. Jay Park
Green Light, though different in melody, has the same musical appeal as her hit song Banana due to its creative and funky beat. That same beat also complements the entire arrangement of the song combined with an awesome prechorus hook. Though, unlike other songs that feature rappers, Green Light is creative in the sense that Jay Park doesn't just appear, rap, and -POOF! - go away; rather, he is featured throughout the whole entire song. The song is a conversation between Jay, rapping to G.NA, and G.NA , singing to Jay: the perfect song for those hardcore shippers. 


Location I think of when I listen to this song: Dancing on a stoop in New York with one of those retro boomboxes.


3. Beautiful Stranger - F(x)
What do you get when you take Luna's powerhouse voice, Krystal's sweet, on-pitch vocals, and Amber's epic raps? You get Beautiful Stranger! It's nice to see F(x) take a different route with their music in this song; instead of their trademark, what I believe to be, somewhere along the lines of electro-pop songs. It possess a completely different feel from Electric Shock that literally shocks you with it's synth-heavy beats. My favorite part has to be the beginning, because the beat starts off soft until it gradually ascends into Amber's rap, delivered as always with confidence and power. It's a perfect showcase of this trio's talents. However; the most impressive part of this song was the depth of the lyrics, which is rare in SM songs. If you read the comments [in this video], I love the perspective of these fangirls/boys. They all perceive the Beautiful Stranger, not as a lover, rather as a description of the love they have for their favorite idols. It's definitely worth checking out. 


Location I think of when I listen to this song: A whimsical yet modernized version of a magical forest.


4. Mr. Johnny - Miss A
If I had one word to describe Miss A it would be FIERCE. They exude it and the best part is that their music reflects that, as well as their unique style towards music. Mr. Johnny is a perfect example of this. Since I'm no music analysis expert I'll throw technical descriptions out the window.It's a catchy, high tempo song combined with attitude, funky beats, a really awesome intro, and an an epic Jia rap - all in English might I add -  or in other words, classic Miss A.


Location I think of when I listen to this song: A spy movie 

5. Ego - Big Bang
My expectations of Big Bang always run high ever since their 2011 song Tonight (my first Big Bang song). As a VIP, it took me completely by surprise that they had a Japanese album! The thought never occurred to me, but I suppose it's my fault for assuming that they would just translate their old hits into Japanese. They recently released the Korean version of Ego onto their new Special Edition Still Alive album.
  
As for the song itself it's a mid-tempo song with some guitar plucking sounds with what I believe to be synthetic drums making it one of their more mellow songs, but it was delivered perfectly. The highlight of the song is the pre-chorus and the chorus with it's addictive hooks sung by GD, while Seungri, Daesung, and Taeyang complement the arrangement with their smooth vocals. But wait! Where's the rap? Trick question! There is none! So does this mean.... yes, TOP actually sung in this song and it works! He and GD add a good contrast to the others' vocals, but I think the X-factor in this song was GD's voice: it's a one-of-a-kind voice that I don't think can be defined. It's his voice that adds an edge to the song, and as always Big Bang pulls it off seamlessly. 




Location I think of when I listen to this song: Oddly, some loft in California...I think it's because I've been thinking a lot about California lately. 

Please Note that it's hard finding the Korean version of this song without any audio changes, so I put the Japanese version instead.

INFINITE V.S. SHINee : INFINITE WINS!

I loved INFINITE before but I never like downloaded all their music and after listening to The Chaser I have been listening to their other songs and have been loving them and so I have succesfully downloaded all their music onto my ipod and i have been rapeing the replay button on all their songs that my brothers get so annoyed I listen to so much INFINITE. Like they have gone way up on the ANNE'S MOST LOVED KPOP BOY GROUPS LIST. I think they have surpassed SHINee a little.... I never thought any group could do that.... I'm actually quite shocked..... My friends who know I OBSESS over SHINee is probably going into shock right now.

It's not that they have better songs cuz i obviouly loved listening to their songs to fall in lve with them but it was their hiatus that kinda made me drift away. Especially for me because once you leave for a long time I have a hard time you getting back into the feel of it all. And now I am absolutely in love with INFINITE. Who knows I might go back to SHINee.....

As for favorite members i know #1 is L and #2 is Sunggyu because his voice, he'scute, and yeah his close up on the BTD MV made me fall head-over-heals for him. and Hoya is somewhere in the top.....

Have this happened to you guys??

Since I'm someone who forgets and gets bored easily I have gone through this before.... Whats weird is im not like super madly in love with the big big big kpop stars of now like SUJU and stuff.....

Shall I show you who I'v loved before?

DBSK/TVXQ -> SHINee -> 2PM -> SHINee -> INFINITE

Replay List #5

If you look at my previous lists from the winter, you'll notice a complete 180 degree change in my summer playlist. It's a lot more mellow, mid tempo and smooth like R&B in comparison to the rap heavy and electro songs I was listening to not only a month ago. Now that it's summer, I've been relaxing and being lazy. I guess my list reflects that. So, find a hammock under a shady tree, drink some lemonade (or banana milk) and listen to some good ole' K-Pop. 

  1.  Busker Busker - A Cherry Blossom's End
  2. SISTAR - Loving U
  3. Wonder Girl's Sunye & Yeeun - When You Believe
  4. Wonder Girl's - Nothin on You (Cover)
  5. Wonder Girl's Sunye & Yeeun - Dugo Dugo
  6. Whole MBLAQ Mona Lisa Album
    • I Shouldn't Speak
    • One
    • I Don't Know
    • Ojos Frios 
    • You Knew
    • Mona Lisa
  7. Y - Super Junior
  8. Infinite - Chaser

F(x) Electric Shock Mv REVIEW

File:Fxelectricshock.jpg
Yet another group is in to join the summer fun and that's SME's girl group F(x).

F(x) has always been techno pop kinda music but and I don't tend to like those kinds of music and if you have been reading past reviews I've always liked cute songs,pop, and also I'm in love with ballads and I know that I don't tend to like music like that so I usually stay away from it and also F(x) is one of the kpop groups I tend to not care about but the MV was in subscription box on YouTube and it called me to do a review.

Starting off with the song. I like it and it's very energetic electric pop song and will make you jump out of your chair and just dance. And if I had to put this song in a catagory season wise it would be summer because of all the energy it gives off.

Like with many idols before releasing a music video or anything they change their image a bit. The bautiful Victoria has gone blond and the 2 members who usually have the crazy colorful hairstyles actually went for a plain chocolate brown hair but pretty none the less.

The girls who are know for their bright and colorful outfits have showed us neon! and neon is very in this summer in terms of fashion. In the MV i wish they would have not had Sulli wear that super girly black skirt because I don't really think it goes with the whole thing.

The dance is good and I was quite exited to see if it was good live but I checked all of their live performance of this song and it didn't hae the same feel as when I was watching the MV... maybe it was how the MV was edited...... The song live though was sung very well but I can't know until I'm told which one they actually sung or which one they lip sync.





I don't know about you guys, and I love korean fashion but what is up with the boots? I seriously don't know how those are fashionable and I have no idea how they could even dance with them on.

And to address another dilema.... I wished that kpop girl groups in general would stop wearing shorts that are too short. I mean I love short shorts, FOR PETE'S SAKE I LIVE IN FLORIDA!, but I think there is a line between underwear and shorts. For guys they don't care but for a girl like me I know that if I were ever a kpop girl I do not want to be dancing in booty shorts in front of a camera and people and have them see my bum and then think it over at the end but no there was a camera so people could replay that over and over again on the internet.

So overall......Its SHOWER WORTHY!!!!! although F(x) wasn't one of those groups that I don't really like I ave opened up to them and they will be introduced into my ipod very soon.

SISTAR - Loving U Review


Here's a song to add to your summer playlist: SISTAR!


It's hard to imagine SISTAR, the femme fatales of their hit songs Alone and So Cool, doing a cute song like Loving U. Oh, but that's where you'd be wrong. Actually, SISTAR manages to possess that same sex appeal that their known for while being cute at the same time, a charisma similar to that of Katy Perry. How can such a thing be achieved? Well...let's start off with their catchy, synth-infused pop song. Loving U is an upbeat, midtempo song that utilizes brass and some guitar in the instrumentals. Along with their sweet vocals, it's a song that expresses that feeling of Summer Love. Overall the arrangement of Loving U reminds me of a revamped oldies song, in a good way, and it was finished off perfectly with a mini hook at the end. For me, the strongest point in the song was Hyorin's vocals, and the only weak point being Bora's rap. While the song would have felt empty without it, I think my aversion to the rap is due to a personal preference; I tend to prefer high speed raps most of the time. For a non-STAR1 though, I really liked this song.
My only complaint about the music video is the dancing scene on the car, which made me wonder, does this mean that SISTAR goes to the beach by day and parties at a junk yard by night? Hmmmm.... I thought that their sailor suit dance sequence and hourglasses figures were sexy enough, but apparently they (whoever "they" are) wanted to blatantly show that even behind those Hello Kitty Nerd Glasses, SISTAR is still the same group who can shake their butts like nobody's buisness. Personally, I didn't think the dance-on-the-car scene was necessary considering that there was already a lot of things going on in the music video, and it didn't fit the theme either, but I bet some fanboys would disagree with me there.




As for everything else in the the music video it's pure eye candy for not only fanboys, but fangirls too. Hawaii isn't called paradise for nothing. The video looked like it was filtered, so the water looked bluer and the clothes brighter. It's enough to make me envious.The fact that it was legitimately shot outdoors, made the summer theme believable and it was a big departure as well as a relief from seeing idols trapped in those black and white glowing rooms.The clothes were playful and colorful too with some retro influences i.e. the roller blades and the headbands. Plus I think the sailor suits were reminiscent of the pin up girls of the 1920's. However; it takes more than outer appearance to make them cute. So where did the untapped well of cuteness come from? It looked like they were having pure fun, making the music video very organic in that aspect which also happened to be my favorite part. Being playful is the same as being cute; thus, even goddesses like SISTAR can take a trip down the aegyo lane every once in a while.

Sistar - Loving U REVIEW + LYRICS + Translation

File:LovingU-EPcover.jpegWant a cute summer song then then Sisar's new song Lovng U is perfect.

The MV was released yesterday June 27 on Satrship Entertainments YouTube official YouTube account and also LOEN's.

This Song and Music Video ust screaams Summer and was even filmed inthe beautiful island of HAWAII.

The song itself is about love during the summer. "what should i do?" A cute summer love and she's trying to confess her love.

What I absolutely loved about te music vdeo was them being on the beach and chilling, weaing shorts and tank tops just skating by the beach and hanging out. That is summer at least to since I live in Florida. The brightness of their outfits and the brightness of theie smiles really showed "ahh its summer"

For a cute song like this I was expecting more of a cute dance and less sexy. Sistar is known very much for their their outstanding vocals and also their sexy dances but sometimes you just got to get rid of sexy and just go with cut. But none the less I liked the dance.

Their outfits was just perfect for the feeling of summer. I mean the nautical sailor outfits they were wearingmatches the fact that their by the beach and nautical is very in!!!! I also can't resist white and navy blue put together during the summer.

As of singing. Hyorin's voice fits with any kind of song she sings and I love that. Bora is so cute. I love her rapping. If you guys can see in girl groups many of the rappers in those group are very tomboyish in example Amber of f(x). im not saying i hate her I mean she's one of my fav in F(x) but you guys know what I mean. Bora's a very girly person.

So overall  I will be raping the relay button on this song this summer becaus its just so summer! Bright and colorful and full of fun. I hope the Sistar girls had  good time in Hawaii.

TOP 10?

I have been loving so much music lately and mainly from IFINITE because I absolutely adore them. I ws looking back at older songs in my ipod and again have been listening to their songs. I raped the repeat sign on my ipod. I have also been listening to some B1A4 and my Baby Good NIght review is almost done :)

Today its not a top 10 because they all have my heart ad by what I mean is that their in no particular order because I have been listening to all of them equally right now. And also when I try to put an order in my head I'm putting every song as number one.

She's Back - INIFINITE
Nothing's Ovver - INFINITE
The Chase - INFNITE
Before The Dawn - INFINITE
Come Back Again - INFINITE
Beautiful Target - B1A4
Baby Good Night - B1A4
Over U - Miss A
No Mercy - Mss A
Loving You - SISTAR

Running Man 100th Episode

First of all congrats to Running Man for achieving recently their 100th episode and hoe for another 100 because I just love Running Man and is seriously my favorite korean variety show. Anyways since it was a special episode they had avery special theme which was the War of the Gods. In the end out grasshopper Jae Suk won which I was so not expeting and actually expected Ji Hyo to win. The gues was the beautiful Kim Hee Sun who Jae Suk gave his trophy to because she helped him throughout the game. This episode was super funny and my stomach hurts from all the laughing so I hope you guys check it out. I'll include the link at the bottom. I can not wait for the next episode because Ji Hyo has to hide from the members.


A WISH

There's so many people who love Just Dance and I was wondering how awesome it would be to have Just Dance Kpop version and have the sance to Good Bye Baby by B1A4 and stuff.If that ever came out I would kill for it

I am a Wonderful!



It's official. As of today, I am a Wonderful for Wonder Girls. I was about to make my next Replay List when I realized...whoa, I've got a lot of Wonder Girls on here. At first, I didn't really like the Wonder Girls at first. Songs like Tell Me, So Hot, and Nobody were very retro sounding to me, so I wasn't very interested their music, which is why, I never bothered getting to know them. Then their Wonder World album came out, and I fell in love with every single one of their songs. They are 5 unique, down-to-earth girls. Not many K-Pop groups can say that they speak fluent English, nonetheless sing well in fluent English. They are more than just performers, they truly are artists, and that truly is rare. Thus, I made this post, because I thought I should share the Wonder Girls love.


Sorry, if you're not a fan, but I do respect, admire, and recognize all the other K-Pop groups out there too! They are daebak!

DRAMA PHASE

I have naver told anybody but my obsession before Kpop and stuff was Jpop I mean I wasn't an expert like I am in Kpop but I was just obsessed. I watched all sorts of anime but I grew out of it and fell head over heals for kpop I mean if i could I'll marry it. But I never grew out of watching Jdrama. I love Kdrama don't get me wrong but Jdrama why I like the is because their just absolutely hilarious! my fav jdrama is Hana Kimi and SME is actually making a korean remake of it. Also many famous Kdrama came from famouse Jdrama or Manga like BOF, Hana Kimi, Kimi Wa Petto yeah guys the F4 existed in Japan.

Anyways as if I didn't have enough drama's to watch I am now watching Nodame Cantabile and if you guys watch The Sweet Potato Couple on WGM they are actually big fans of it. Anyways I do think you guys who dont watch Jdrama to give it a try because when  feel gloomy and need to watch something funny I watch Jdrama

KDRAMA BIG thoughts as of ep 7


You guys know that I have been trying to get back into the whole kdrama thing and so I went onto crazy kdrama search mode and found this drama. It is curently airing and will consist of 16 episodes and right now has 7. And yes I watched them all today. Yeah I have no life but I like it :)

The story is acrually quite interesting and in some aspects confusing. Shall I do a recap??? of the 7 episodes? Well... I will anyways/

Gil Da Ran is a student studying to be a teacher and was attending a wedding and that's where she meets Yoon Jae. He is actually Da Ran's fiance. >>>FAST FORWARD>>> Their about to get married and it seems like Yoon Jae is putting her off and Da Ran even asks him if he really loves her.
Da Ran is a teacher and is assigned to new transfer student from the U.S. Kyung Joon. He is a very.....rebelious young man if I do say so myself.

Anyways fast forward to the important part. Kyung Joo was rifing his motorcycle and there was a big accident in front of him and he had no where to turn and so he hit the guard rail and flew in the water below. Before hitting the water Yoon Jae and him met gazes. Yoon Jae was going the opposite direction that Jyung Joo was going. The scene shift to them in the E.R. at first Yoon Jae is pronounced dead and taken to the motuary and Da Ran learns of this and cries. Then Yoon Jae wakes up only not to be Yoon Jae. It was Kyung Joo in Yoon Jae's body. Kyung Joo tells Da Ran but she doesn't believe at first. She then later becomes his "Shield" as they put it in the drama. Kyung Joo does say in the later episodes that he liked Da Ran but telling her after that it wasn't true but you can see it is.

They go onwith the plan to get married but with omplications. They also find out one of Yoon Jaes co-working was in love with him and was wanting him to come to her. Kyung Joo who is in his body makes her go away.

You guys are probably asking where Yoon Jae's soul is. Well we think he's in Kyung Joo's body which is in a coma state in the hospital.

There are many complicated things within the story like Kyung Joo's scar of when he saw his mom dying to the point he can't stand the sight of blood, him having  huge inheritance from his mother, enough for his uncle and aunt to do anything to get it.

So anyways .... Ma Ri, Kyung Joo's friend stalker from the US comes. She's totally in LOVE with him and eventualy finds out that Kyung Joo is in a different body.

Its really confusing but you will undertand it when you watch the drama.

My thought...are i really like this drama. enough to sit here and watch all 7 existing episodes. I really can't wait for the end because it would be cute for you know Da Ran and Kyung Joo to be together. Overall I think this drama is super good and would recommend it. It is kinda annoying since the story line didn't budge for a couple episodes but I can't wait for ep 8!




*note* there was a picture showed that i know

Super Junior 6JIB Photos (Kangin & Sungmin)

Wait, wait a second---do my eyes deceive me? Am I blind or is that - Yes! It is him! It's KANGIN! He's back! Way to go SM, another curveball you threw at us. I was expecting Kangin to be the last person to have his teaser revealed. You know, just like the saying, save the best for last, but then again, it wouldn't be SM would it? Anyway, he's back, and as always fans are armed and ready with comments of support. You gotta love ELF's. 


Heeeeeeere's KANGIN!
I'm not going to bother about the whole concept thing...because that's out the window! But, I'm trying to decide what Kangin reminds me off. At first, I thought he resembled a cobra with the hood, and his eyebrows seemed very Jafar-like in Aladdin. Then, I took a closer look, and the hood looks like a golden net, which blends in with his blond hair! But will he be blond in the music video? That is the question! P.S. His one blue eyebrow bothers me. (Thanks OCD)

You know who else is blond? That's right, it's our pumpkin Sungmin! He's back with the blond tresses, and I'm not too crazy about it. Just when you think his blond phase is over, just like Super Junior, it's making a comeback. I think I can tolerate the blond hair, as long as it's not styled as it is in the photo. I mean, there's nothing wrong with long hair, but it doesn't suit Minnie in my opinion. Plus, it looks like a wig, so there's definitely hope! By the way, I like the flowers. 
Now, my only concern is that SM is going too fast with this comeback. They're going really fast with these teasers and it worries me. Why? Ever seen the Princess Diaries? Remember what Julie Andrews said, "Haste Makes Waste". And it's better to take the time and the effort to do things right the first time around. I'm guess that there's probably some time constraints for whatever reasons, but still... it worries me. These are just my thoughts.

KRASH #3 & #4

ok so just looked at my KRASH picture inventory...... and ther's 32 pictures...................YAY? anyways I will start on them but I think this will e a combo of KRASH 3 and 4 so hope you guys wait for it and it should be up in a couple of days. :)

BIAS #1

We all say we don't have favorites but we know you do. Well I certainly do. So here's my faorite members of my favorite groups.

SHINee

Ok so it was actually hard for me to pick a bias from this group because first of all Onew has the most mesmerizing voice, Jonghyun has the same bday as me, Taemin is an awesome dancer, Key was witty, and Minho was just hot. But I subconsiously picked Lee Taemin because he was too darn adorable and I love him.



INFINITE

Ever since I heard Nothing's Over I immidently fell in love and yeah fell in love. They were perfect! God like features, witty, and the best voice and dance skill. I have to admit though it wast very hard to pick cuz my heart already belonged to him after Shut Up Flower Boy Band! and thats flower boy L. I love him.



Girl's Generation


SNSD has freaking 9 members so it was tough for me to pick. but one stand out the most to me and that's our leader Taeyeon. The reason I fell in love with her is because yes she's small but she has the best voice in the group. I mean for a girl like her (being small) she is one of two main singers in a group of 9 even if she wasn't short it would still be a feat to become one of the main singers. The other main singer is Jessica another of the smaller one in the group but she too has a big voice.



MBLAQ


MBLAQ? I actually used to ignore this group until Joon led me to them. I already liked Lee Joon because he was just too darn cute and damn those abs. But.... I seriously fell in love with him in Hello Baby because he was very loving in it and very caring.




That's it for now. WHY? because its gonna be another of my series heehee..... And also I have too many biases than HD pictures right now sooooooo........




HEY!

I've cried my heart out and have tried to put it behind me and I'm sure in a couple of days I'll be fine :) Although any slight mention I start crying. I think me loving animals so much its super hard to get over it.

Moving on I have at least 20 outfits for the #3 of KRASH and will be working on that :) ooh and a new poosts for yall.

In Honor of Squeekers

I just wanted to give my condolences to Squeekers and Anne. I know how important firsts are. Squeekers was a very pretty and handsome bird. He had a happy home and an awesome, loving caretaker. Bye Squeekers! Lots of love from Alyssa!

Super Junior 6JIB Teaser Photos (Yesung, Ryeowook, Shindong & Leeteuk)

Back from the beach and I come home to pouring rain and dark skies. Just how I like it! Now that I'm back I finally got a chance to take a good look a Yesung, Ryeowook, Shindong, and Leeteuk's teaser pics and as it turns out the real concept is "Beautiful Males". While Super Junior is always beautiful, I'm still not getting that particular vibe from these photos. The pictures all seem very random and incoherent. There isn't a common theme that connects them together; rather it seems that each photo has its own theme. Like I said in my last post, I'm still waiting for the music video. 


So, here's my play by play of all the pictures:


When I first saw this on AllKpop, I didn't even recognize Leeteuk. Actually, I thought it was Xia Junsu before I clicked on it. Honestly, his hair looks very fluffy like a birds nest and the cats eye makeup gives him a bird-like quality. I guess that makes sense since Leeteuk is very talkative, but I'm still waiting for when the "beautiful male" part kicks in. (In terms of concept not in looks, because Leeteuk is pretty handsome)


I actually like Ryeowook's teaser picture, only because it matches his style. It's not too crazy or over-the-top, and I can actually believe that Ryeowook would wear something like this. Plus, I think the reddish hairstyle suits him. 



Should I say it, because I know you're all thinking it. This looks all too similar to another K-Pop group... OK! It's very similar like Taeyang's frozen scene in Fantastic Baby. It's as if Shindong  fell asleep in the freezer. He looks painful because his neck appears frostbitten. Awww...Shindong.


While Yesung isn't my most favorite member, I think he looks really good here.The picture looks very ethereal and mystical. Since I've always liked this kind of style, I really appreciated the softness and pastel colors of the photo.  However; he doesn't look like himself at all! I had to do a double take because I thought he looked like Shinee's Key

Overall, I'm fully surprised by these images. In addition to the incoherent themes, I don't like how we can't see their eyes, nonetheless recognize who they are. Considering this is Leeteuk's last album before he enlists in the army and since this is the same album that Kangin's making his comeback, I was expecting something simple and nostalgic. I really wanted something to represent and remind us of why we fell in love with Super Junior in the first place. 6 Down, 4 more to go.

Sadness.... I love you Squeeker

Hey guys. I told you guys about our new baby pet bird right? well we named him Squeeker because he would make a squeeking sound when he wants to be fed and seeing as he was a baby it was all the time.

Well....This morning I wole up to no dqueek or chirp.....I found out my youngest brother,6. was watching early morning cartoons and heard him squeeking a little and he couldn't wake my bother. He was holding Squeeker in his hands and when my dad came out my brother panicked and threw the baby bird in the big box we keep him in.....Squeeker did not curvive the incident..... And I'm taking it pretty hard so I might not be able to do many posts today cuz I'm crying so hard.




Bye Squeeker hope it didn't hurt too much. I love you baby. Always will. I know you were a bird but you were my first pet and I'll never forget you. I miss your little squeek and chirp. I love you.

IM MENTAL!

LOL so my OCD has kicked in and I now HAVE to clean all of my room and guess what its 12am but i wont be able to sleep till I do it. Since I'm up anyways I will be working in the 3rd KRASH. WOOT WOOT!

WORKING

already starting to look for new pics for the #3 of the KRASH Summer Edition. Hope you guys like this one. Anyways I'm stillworking on my bb cream review since its been a while since ive had it and made my verdict on it. I might also but me a korean bb cream from Etude House and might even do a haul for you guys. I might not be able to blog next weekend because I'm spending 3 days in Tampa. I will blog when I can and maybe vlog? hmmmm...... I will definately take pictures though

KRASH Summer Edition #2


So #2 of the summer edition of KRASH is finaly HERE!!!! Sorry it took forever for me to do it but here it is. Hope you guys like it. Most of the clothing/outfits on here can be easily found at your local forever 21, Aeropostale,Hollister, etc. or you can go online and look for them on korean wholesale stores. I knew that many of you guys might not trust online shopping especially whole sale and for clothes because their for one thing much more expensive than they really are and the waitin and also the sizes  might be different than whatyour used to so I made sure that these things you can find localy or in you country. I won't be giving links this time since I knew these were things you can find localy and this is just a general idea of the fashion in korea.

Outfit #1

I love pastels especialy pastel pink and I'm not one to like pink. I think why i like this is because its very simple. A pale pink color suites a variety of skin colors and can be worn with many things and if your plain like me it guve you a pop of color. Its also very girl without being toooooo girly. I can't seem to to find a shirt like the on in the picture but that doesn't matter cuz pink again can go with anything. Maybe wear a cute grey shirt with a panda or wear a plain white shirt with some writing. Expirement with this.


Outfit #2

I'm a tomboy. I hang with guys and I like video games. I love my convverse. So like in the picture keep it simple yet fashionable. I like the red the girl used. She wore a minnie mouse shirt with a pink trim on the arms, regular loose capris and high top classic red converse. Thi would be perfect to wear on an outing like an amusement park (i live near a lot of them)


Outfit #3


It's proper yet casual if you know wat I mean. This would be something I would wear to the beach and maybe a walk around town. Its not over dressed or underdressed, so its just perfect.




Outfit #4


Where you live the wether might me bipolar I know where I live its kind of chili in the early mornin and super hot during the day then gets a little chili during the night. So this outfit is perfect. The floral flowy skirt compliments the navy blue button up body fitted shirt. A cute messenger bag or a cross body bag. This outfit would look super cute with maybe some cute ballet flats. Since the temperate fluctuates you can wear a light jacket or a long thin cardigan. For hair you can wear it anyway but would especialy look cute with a cute bun but if your gonna let it down forget about styling because a cute slightly wavy hair would look great.

Outfit#5



So this outfit took things we already oen and put them together. A cute black shorts and a plain whit shirt with a cardigan if your linving in a bipolar weather area. pair it up with cute vans or converse

Outfit #6

GAAAAHHHHH how cute is this? I love houw nautical it is. So the 2 colors that I think of when someone says summer. I love blue and white together. So a cute and very nautical dress and a cute sun hat. It's perfect to waer to the beach. Paired with lovely white bracelets and some cute flipflops. Since you don;t wnt your hair everywhere put it in a side braid like the girl. last but not least. MAKE SURE TO WEAR SUNBLOCK!

Outfit #7





OOOH PURDY! Simple yet feminine. simple grey dress and a bright colored cardigan to bring a pop of color and a very cute crossbody bag and some gladiator sandals












Outfit #8



For those of you who don't want to be too casual here's one that does both or your just a die hard jeans lover. Anyways this outfit is cute for shopping around with friends, meeting friends out for lunch, or maybe a casual business meeting. So cute dark washed jeans, a tucked in short sleeve button down blouse. Don't wear the pure white one like the ones guys wear but one thats kind of sheer ad made of light weight material like chiffon. Arm candy is maybe a cute rose gold watch for some color and a black or tan purse or cross body bag. For shoes you can either dress it down or up. So if your meeting someone for maybe a casual business meeting I would go with some nice black pumps and if your just goin out shopping or something wear cute black flats


Outfit #9



I love love love this outfit! super cute! So if opt out of the jean why not wear this. I would say this is a bit more business/formal than the jeans. So cute bright floral pattern shorts but not too short if your meeting someone important and cute white shirt thats lace and whats really cute is the arm part. it hase cute little frills on it. and to match the bright colors of the pants and to give  a little more pop of color wear a bright colored purse or clutch. Shoes I would think that would work with this outfit is cute white strappy heels, nude heels, or light pink flats....


Outfit #10



For a stylish yet laidback style a perfect white dress is perfect and a pop of color maybe on your feet with maybe navyblue flats. incorporat a pop of color on your arm candy or you neck.



Outfit #11



I would love to wear this when i casually meet with my boyfriend because it has a cute touch of girlyness that boys like. Anyways its also cute to wear on a day out when you dont wanna look ovedressed or underdresssed. Cute floral skirts are very easy to find. I saw one at aeropostale just yesterday on sale and you can find a regular yello tanktop anywhere. ute necklace would be nice. Since its short leeve bring a light cardigan but of a neutral color like gray in case you get chili.



Outfit #12



Another casual yet not so casual outfit. Its very summery i feel since it has that cute pastel pink color for the high wasted skirt and a cute white and silver printed tee. cute flats anyone? If you guys see she has a darker color on her nails to contrast with all the light colors shes wearing.


Outfit #13






I just love how girly this is. Bright Pink shirt gives a pop of color to the grey polo she's wearing and the blue headband also brings a pop of color and matches very well to the shade of her skin.


Outfit #14



This outfit is super casual like you got out of bed put whatever on. Its perfect if your on an erand or at a friends house.


So lastly a cute hairstyle that would match any of the shown outfits since it cute and stylish and doens't look like you just rolled out of bed and just combed through your hair. I alsoabsolutely love her nails.




Hope you guys like the 2nd of  5 of the KRASH Summer Edition and so there are 3 more to do and know that I pick out the pictures with avility in mind for you guys.  Hope you guys try out these simple outfits and have a HAPPY SUMMER
