Urban Wall Art

Check out these cute finds from Urban Outfitters! What a great way for artists to get their stuff out there. Not sure what kind of a cut the big chain takes however.

Baby I'm Amazed

If you are a Led Zeppelin, Jimmy Hendrix, or Pink Floyd fan, you will most likely appreciate New York's latest psychedelic rock band, "Amazing Baby". These lads are tight with Indie Rock sensations MGMT, and clearly share a similar passion for psychedelic drugs. This trend has inspired a sort of primitive, tribal fantasy world sensation amongst many young hipster types (face paint and feathers anyone?). Unlike MGMT, Amazing Baby's first full length album "Rewild" is all classic rock instrumentals, and refrains from any electronic synth sounds. If you didn't know any better, you could have sworn these boys played at Woodstock.

No Pain No Gain

New fav band of the moment: The Pains of Being Pure at Heart. And what a descriptive band name I might add. I think they just summed up the essence of Morrissey right there. Their music, consequently, does emulate that lovely innocent yet sexy yearning of The Smiths and perhaps Belle & Sebastian. Melancholy, romantic, passionate, and filled with ideals. A teenager with loads of dreams that might be little bit too much to ask for in the real world, but sound really beautiful in song form. The streaming steady guitar rhythm also reminisces in other nineties bands like My Bloody Valentine or even slow Smashing Pumpkins sounds. Also reminds me a lot of a small band from Vancouver BC called "Young and Sexy." Fitting in with the mood I think.

Top of the Pops

Lets just take a moment to worship Top Shop. Leave it to Kate Moss to be the queen of rocker chick fashion. This stuff is the epitome of what to be seen in at night in music scene. Dressed up, but not too much. Edgy and playful, but not a costume. Sexy, but not trying too hard, just teasing. So of the moment, yet timeless in its appeal. Way to go Kate!

La Who?

La Roux that's who. Do you ever miss the geometric fashion and orchestrated synth you knew as a child? La Roux has embraced them both. This London pop duo mixes the sweet synth of the Arrhythmics with the clear, almost choir boyish, voice of Elly Jackson. And they just happen to have some fabulous style to go along with it. In the video single "Bulletproof" Elly struts some truly geometric creations in a bit of a dance club fun house. Sounds like the ultimate fantasy to me! With Elly you even get that sense of New Wave androgyny with her super short swooped do. Take that piano key necktie!

Tight Fit

Bold prints with bolder tights, perfect for summer bathroom hangouts. Especially when your bathroom is that adorable, nothing like hot pink walls in the bathroom! This London chick knows how to rock it at http://lookbook.nu, the website where anyone around the globe can be their own fashion model! And consequently bring their style to inspire you. As long as the photos are approved by the site's staff. After all, they have to keep it pretty somehow. Here's a few more kids playing dress up.

How Charming

This heart locket and jewelry box from Juicy Couture is delicious and calorie-free accessory, always one of my favorites. Is it not fabulous choosing little sparkly objects to define ones personality? Well, I can guarantee you will find a few amongst Juicy Couture's latest craze: charms you can collect and pair together. Juicy really got it right by pairing luscious gold or silver metals with glossy opaque enamel and rhinestones. Yum! I know I will sport them as often as that comfy jogging suit.
