Oddness/Weirdness

Omg I cannot wait to see this!! If you have not read this series run, don't walk, to your nearest bookstore or reading device to check it out.  They're officially located in the "young adult" area but they don't read like it. If you haven't ventured into the young adult section recently, you are definitely missing out on some good stuff. Read the synopsis and buy it here.

Siggghhhh... 1. Jimmy Choo, 2. YSL, 3. Jimmy Choo, 4-6. Christian Loubiton, 7. Camilla Skovgaard, 8. Christian Loubiton.  All avaliable  here.

Giovanna Battaglia is one of the hottest stylists in the fashion industry but started out as a model. She's constantly being featured on fashion blogs the world over and is another one of my style icons. Her style is colorful and girly and she's a master at mixing patterns.

Love the song, love the dystopian future-like look and feel to the video and I especially love the surprise ending.  The way the video is filmed in one long take makes it especially beautiful and it fits the song so well. Big Bang's Love Song... Enjoy! Source:  BIGBANG ,  Image source:  mtvk

I love watching a good Kpop dance practice video almost as much as I enjoy watching a group or singer perform a song live.  This way you get to see them in their natural habitat (aka practice room, where they probably spend about 90% of their time) and you get to see the performance straight on with no annoying camera angles.  I mean, I love you KBS Music Bank and others, but really... sometimes I want to slap your camera men. Here are a few of my favorites... Rain first, of course! Hip Song :

When I tell you I've been looking for a complete and clear version of this video for about a year, I'm not exaggerating.  I mentioned it on twitter recently and a very sweet Cloud named @CloudUnite posted this link for me like 2 seconds later.  Rain fans are so awesome.

I've been watching the K-drama "Protect the Boss" or "The Boss" and I haven't laughed so hard in awhile.  Here's a synopsis: After struggling with frequent unemployment and a series of failed job interviews, No Eun Sol ( Choi Kang Hee ) finally lands a job in a law firm as a secretary. Unbeknownst to her, her new boss is a man who she accidentally involved in a fight, getting the president of her new company in trouble. Protecting this secret, she begins working diligently for Cha Ji Heon ( Ji Sung ), the youngest son of a family corporation, an incredibly immature young man with secrets of his own. Through their working relationship, he begins to fall for her. Here's a really cute fan-made trailer for the show: Source: luchiaichigogirl Here's another video that shows just how immature said boss is: Source: TransparentDarkness The drama also has Jaejoong of JYJ fame playing Ji Sung's rival cousin and opposite in personality... h

An early '90s-ish, Jodeci-style slow jam, Kpop style that I've been listening to a lot recently. A friend of mine calls it the sex song.  Make sure to watch it in large screen HD to really appreciate every detail.  Source: sment What I think is hilarious: The slow-mo, beseeching hands and eyes, wind-blowing their tousled hair and clothing shots. What I love: The choreography and the fact that you wouldn't think you'd be hearing this sort of song coming out of their lips.  I also love the fact that Changmin (on the left, mostly) doesn't look like those sounds should come out that svelte body.  Especially love the dance break that starts at 3:27 and the extra special move at around 3:45. After seeing the fancams of them performing this at Madison Square Garden recently, all I have to say is, "Wow!"

Source: Nj.com There was a snowstorm on the east coast this past weekend that kicked NJ's ass. Who knew still having leaves on the trees would make the trees fall down when it snowed?? Craziness right? Talk about power outages up the yin yang. Finally got my power back a few days ago but now I'm waiting for the cable company to get their act together. Mother nature sure can be a bitch. I'll be back soon with more posts.

This house is bad ass... I'm so in love. Designer Abigail Ahern's place in London. Source: the selby I love the eclecticism and darkness of her place.  The use of dark paint on her walls (I can't tell if it's black or what) is stellar and did you notice that incredible bookcase wallpaper in the left corner of the top pic?  Everything about her house is too, too cool.  I'd move in there in a hot second.  She really has inspired me to do some redecorating. See more pics of her lovely abode at The Selby.
