Get ready because the girls of Brown Eyed Girls are planning to make a comeback with brand new material in October.

It's been reported that members Jea, Narsha, Miryo, and Ga-in, are doubling their efforts to meet their goal of recording and completing their upcoming album before the comeback date.

Tapping Jo Young-chul to produce their sixth album, fans can be rest assured that the album will deliver nothing but satisfaction. To refresh the minds, Jo is the same producer who produced of a majority of their other works, including "Sixth Sense" and the iconic 2009 hit "Abracadabra" and has been with group from the beginning.

To the delight of many, the album will have tracks created by some of the best songwriters and lyricists in the business, including Lee Minsu and Kim Leena.

Despite breakup rumors this past summer, Brown Eyed Girls have been ambitiously and passionately working on their comeback as the album will commemorate their 10 years in the business.

After releasing their fifth album "Black Box" in July of 2013, the members began to focus on solo activities. Gain and Miryo have been pursuing activities as solo singers, while Narsha has been focusing on acting and variety appearances. Jea has been building up her skills as a composer and lyricist.

Good luck to the girls on their 6th album!

Roger Vivier’s New Muse Jeanne Damas on How French Girls Do Fashion Week in Heels

When we see Parisian It girl Jeanne Damas dash in front of the lenses of any number of street style photographers this Fashion Week, undoubtedly she’ll be tipping about on the statement heels of Roger Vivier’s Fall 2015 collection.
 After all, the 22-year-old doe-eyed and ever-soigné blogger was just tapped as the fabled Parisian luxury shoewear label’s new muse and campaign star for its latest collection—an appointment that adorns Damas with one of the sickest shoe games this side of the Seine. After Damas won a turquoise patent leather Miss Viv handbag made by Roger Vivier at a charirty auction last year, she felt compelled to send along an appreciative email to the label; the bag, she noted, reminded her of one Catherine Deneuve had carried in Belle de Jour. That casual correspondence would develop into a friendship—and eventually a collaboration with the powerhouse accessories brand. But of course: Who else could imbue that certain, ineffable French cool into each step like Damas?
It’s also the reason why we turned to her for intel on how French girls always seem to amass an enviable inventory of statement heels, sandals, and booties, but never let the OTT accessories wear them. Though brushing off the idea of footwear “rules,” the self-described “jeans and T-shirt kind of girl” does concede, “If you’re going to wear statement shoes, it is best to keep your outfit simple.” Pairing ballerina flats with a minidress, and heels with jeans, Damas inverts fashion expectations with French flair, offsetting even the most daring styles with a signature nonchalance when she hits fashion’s front rows. “I cannot wait to wear the new Belle Vivier Trompette thigh-high boots with a pair of jeans or a short sweaterdress,” she says.
But must one actually be Gallic born and bred to weather those towering heels and survive the nonstop hustle of Fashion Week, days packed with shows and scouring East Village vintage shops, dinners, and after-parties? Turns out, even “effortless” French girl style is not without its strategies. Advises Damas: “Travel by car or by bike! It helps to avoid walking too much and hurting your feet.” But, she concedes, there’s sometimes nothing chicer than letting things come a bit undone. “Don’t be afraid to remove your shoes if you are dancing late at night.”
