[lights - toes (music video)]

in other news, i've been following #nyfw this past week, and recently discovered this: http://www.youtube.com/liverunway! watched the elie tahari (my favorite suits are by him) runway with my mother. loved the flowing sash-like designs. and gold gold gold. one model definitely needed more double-sided tape for her top... awk.

the missoni for target debacle: i'll save that for when i actually get the goods. i am told that a friend's friend was prominently featured in tori spelling's blog-- she kindly gave a baby missoni outfit to the 99 months pregnant (mrs. spelling's words, not mine) mom. celebrities! they're just like us. stay tuned...

adaline: famous for fire

adaline is a canadian singer/songwriter who i heard about through the grapevine (don't click if one more mention of twilight makes you want to start hulk!smashing your head into a brick wall). reminds me a tad bit of sara bareilles, but with more eclectic influences, notably electro.

stream her entire album famous for fire here (released april 22, 2008 and available on itunes & cdbaby) & download her song "whiter/straighter" by right-click-save-ing here.

my picks:
- famous for fire (title track)
- meaningless meeting (dark, freedom comes with a price)
- pioneering (jaunty, with handclaps!)
- planes to nowhere (dreamy, rilo kiley-esque + electro-blipping)
- state of mind (has an anthemic quality, could see this being used as a live performance on some cw show).
- we've got something (the simplicity of it makes it beautiful-- i've got something, you've got something, we've got something). this is my absolute favorite song off her album.
