Oddness/Weirdness

Today my idol style focus is going to be squarely on Taemin from Shinee.  I hold a soft spot in my heart for Taemin because he's Shinee's  maknae  and he's utterly adorable.  He comes across so fierce and intense on stage but off stage he seems to be a shy, kind of ditzy kid with a touch of ADHD.   He's so cute you really just want to pinch his cheeks then put him in your pocket. Without further ado... Taemin: Name: Lee Taemin Nickname: Tae, Taeminnie Typical Taemin quote:  When asked by a magazine what his fashion obsession was, he answered- "Silhouette.  I like styles that show off the body’s silhouette.  I like clothes with a slim and slender line." We can certainly tell!

I'm thinking Sundays should be obligatory eye candy day on Oddness/Weirdness.  It's easy on the eyes and I think it'll be fun for me AND you!  Let's start withhhh... Taeyang Rain Rain's just as hot back Lee Joon Jay Park Images: Credit where due

It's super, extra freezing here today...there were even a few snow flurries coming down earlier and now it's quite windy.  I'm mentioning that because it's been the oddest winter season that I can remember in that it's been extra mild.  I'm kinda glad I finally get to bust out a coat and gloves (I'm sure I'll be over that in a hot second). I adore fall and winter clothing a ton.  You'll always find me wearing at least three pieces of clothing, even in the summer.  When fall comes around I'm all in my element, piling on boots and cardigans and scarves and hats and... and... You get the picture, I'm sure.  I especially adore a really cool coat atop a really cool outfit.

I have been playing this song non-stop for the past month or so and I thought I'd share.  Extra catchy, fun and clever lyrics, great beats.  Just fyi the lyrics are super NSFW so if you don't like that sort of thing, you probably should give it a pass. Enjoy! Source:  AzealiaBanks

I know, I know.  I talk about G-Dragon a lot but there's a reason for that.  Anytime I watch Big Bang or GD   & T.O.P perform my eyes go straight to GD right away.  He kinda captivates me with his chameleon-like fashion sense, his enthralling stage presence and his boy genius musical abilities.   He can go from cutesy boy next door one day to designer avant-garde the next, and pull it off each time.  If I had a hard time narrowing down the pics for my post about SHINee's Key , you can imagine what kind of hair pulling experience it was to choose pics this time.  So yeah... umm... there's just a few more for this one. Name: Kwon Ji Yong Nickname: G-Dragon (Yong = dragon, Ji sounds like G) Typical accomplishments: The man has won awards and accolades for things like being a major fashion trendsetter in South Korea, musical arrangement and production of songs for Big Bang as well as himself, and song writing.

My jewelry, amalgamated. Top: My necklaces are too heavy for a jewelry tree so I put my door knobs to good use. Bottom: Some of my favorite pieces right now.

I'm in the mood for some Korean hip hop today, which means I've got a little bit of everything for ya, from the commercial to the underground.  Enjoy!

There's wayyy more women's street style blogs on the internets than men's street style blogs.  I do, however, come across some gems on my daily perusals of fashion blogs so I figured I'd share them.  I don't know about you, but I <3 a man with a unique fashion sense.

Feeling architectural and clean lines right now.                  

I have been stalking these shoes for 2 years now and they actually got reissued.  Too bad I don't have an extra $965 laying around so I can buy them.  Bring on the copycats... I missed them last time too. Anne Demeulmeester Open Front Sandal Boots: In black:  Yes please! Source:  saksfifthavenue.com

I feel like I'd be remiss if I didn't talk about Kpop idol style, especially since so many of them either have great stylists (cordi-noonas) or actually know how to dress themselves pretty well. My first foray into idol style will have to be Key from Shinee.  I mean, of course...he's so fabulous.  I have seen so many great pics of him, it took me a good while to decide which ones to put into this post.  Ottoke (what to do)??!!  Well, I managed to narrow them down so here goes. Key: Name: Kim Kibum Nicknames: Almighty Key, Diva Key, Key Umma (mom), Flawless Key and others. Typical Key quote:  "For clothes, I’m the type that picks out my outfit the night before, standing in front of the mirror picking out clothes saying “What should I wear tomorrow?”. "When I’m going abroad for activities I take a lot of things, the managers and staff are always telling me “Key-kun, you have too much luggage!”.  I can just imagine.  

So... Teen Top revealed their new mini album today.  The name of the album is "It's: Mini Album Vol. 2" and was produced by Brave Brothers.  Yes, I know that not that long ago I was sooo excited to hear it but... well...  It's really just ok, imho. You be the judge: 1. Teen Top
