Call me conventional for liking Pixie Lott
(Source)
But anyone who sits in a giant teacup(!) in a music video is cool in my books. (:
AND she can sing! (Cos it’s kinda important for a singer to be able to sing eh?!) hahas. I especially like how she changes things up a bit at 1:50/2:20.
From watching some of her music videos…
and scouring the net for more images,

I think I can safely say that Pixie Lott may be the unofficial poster child of Topshop.
hahahas. don’t you think so too?!
Anyway, today (if you can’t already tell) was spent youtube-ing a lot of her videos
and came across one accessory that I really like!

Can you tell what it is?

The scrabble ring and hair clip is so cute.
If I didn’t enjoy playing scrabble as much. I’d totally DIY it. But anyway, with the help of trust ol’ google, you can get it for between £4.00 – £7.00 pounds.

KYOOT!

Do your taste in fashion and music preferences correlate?
I’m not sure if mine do… I love Mr Big, Extreme, Nuno Bettencourt, Steve Vai. These are the people I’ve actually spent money to go to their concerts (okay not Extreme, but let’s just imagine..).
But I cannot do 80′s rock chick.
Nope.
I went for the mind-blowing Mr Big Reunion Tour 2009 at Fort Canning last night, but pretended that it was an indie/hippie music fests (although I would never go for them). I’m a ball of paradoxes, I know.
I wore a solar panel necklace… okay kidding it’s a silver bead and felt bib necklace, raglan jersey tee with a shirt tail, tweed shorts from Zara, Wallabees cut low from Clarks, vintage leather sling bag, and stuff on my wrists. So rojak right?
The entry band looks so cool with the rest of my wrist stuff 
Nude suede. Nom nom…
“Lemme hear it from the girls!!!!!!!!”
SCREAM SQUEAL SCREAM WOLF WHISTLE HANDS IN THE AIR MORE MAD SCREAMING.
Was anyone there?
I need more Mr Big!
I’m bursting with leftover excitation (doesn’t it sound more eventful than… excitement?) from Mr Big and something else coming up!!!

I got a feeling…
Its been growing and bubbling inside of me for awhile now.
Of late, my high level of exposure to Apple products (thanks to my friends) – Macbook Pros, Ipods, Iphone and the like have caused me to develop a new-found appreciation for Apple products.
I totally need to become an ‘Early Adopter’ its so much cooler. hahas. I admit, I’ve been a supporter of Creative Technologies products for the past 5 years

I still remember my first mp3, the Creative MuVo Square. But after 3 years, I traded it in for a Creative Zen MX
(Source)
But after 2 years of loving use and after the warranty expired :/ it has been hit with the mysterious disease called ‘The White Screen of DEATH!’ ))): and according to the Creative Team, it’d cost $40 to diagnose the problem and an upwards of $80 to get the screen fixed.
*sigh*
I figure I might as well get a new mp3 but I’m still undecided on what to get.
(Source)
I quite like the Zen X-Fi2 size. Although it has functions like the Mic and RSS feed that I doubt I’d use. And even though, from what I gather, the sound quality is much better than Apples…
(Source)
Ipods are just sexier. hahas. (:
And after reading the nano specs, I’m quite smitten.

But I’m still not sure! I need your thoughts/opinions/suggestions!!!
Haalp!

The eyes may be the window to the soul for most of us, but for photographer Geritt Starczewski, he takes the bottom-up approach and turns to shoes to tell tales.
“The most important in a look are for me the shoes. Shoes betray something about the personality, about the character. “
He takes photos of mostly pop musicians during live performances, but always no higher than the knee.
They’re in mid-step, they’re worn, sometimes tattered, they stand out, they overtake the picture.
Sometimes you can sense that the musician is dancing, slightly nervous, with feet turned inwards, or trying to pump the crowd, with a foot on the monitor.
She’s wearing happy tights and ballet flats – could you tell the genre? He’s wearing shiny red leather shoes – quite the showman eh?
“Many musicians are styled perfectly and everything is produced when they come on the stage. However, I have discovered a weakness in them; their shoes. With the help of the shoe you can draw conclusions about the music and the personality without knowing who is in these shoes.”
What does this say?
Do you recognize your musicians from their feet? Or can you tell what music they make?
Granted, I don’t know some of them but it was fun to imagine!
From top to bottom: The Kills, The Hives, Grand Island, Mia, Zoot Woman, Roisin Murphy, Low-fi Fnk

A (very) distant time ago, I managed to catch the music video of ‘Nevermind Me’ by Maria Mena.
If you’ve never heard of her, I don’t blame you. I’ve only seen her video twice. Once, in full, and the other was a smidgen of the ending :/ Yet, there was something about the video…

It showed her wandering around the place in a bear (?) costume, searching for this guy dressed in a cow costume.
Plus the song (and the rest of her music) is very nice! But her CDs are hard to find. ):
Anyway, my reason for posting was to share this image of a necklace she purchased and posted on her official, though sporadically updated, blog.

The teal flowers are so fat and juicy-looking! Doesn’t it remind you of mangosteen?!

We were tagged by Diana to list the seven songs that we’re into right now, so here goes!
Rules: List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they’re not any good, but they must be songs you’re really enjoying now, shaping your summer. Post these instructions in your blog along with your 7 songs. Then tag 7 other people to see what they’re listening to.
Turn On Billie
by The Pierces
Hitten
by Those Dancing Days
Headlock
by Imogen Heap
Crave
by Nuno Bettencourt
[FANGIRL MODE]
And the last three which I love the most right now, but couldn’t find videos to!
Nice To Meet You by Dramagods
Sky by Dramagods
Interface by Dramagods
Check them out at HERE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.
Nuno Bettencourt formed Dramagods. Nuno can sing (bloody well), write songs, play awesome keyboards, even better guitar, and AREYOUOUTOFYOURMIND drums! His guitar emotes as much as his voice and lyrics does – which is A LOT!
Plus, he’s super hot. PLEASE MARRY ME!
(Do you see that this entry is under “Desirables” as well? Nuno is very desirable.)
[/FANGIRL MODE]
Sorry, that was a lot of caps.
Okay I don’t think we’ll tag anyone, cos everyone seems to have done it, and we took some time to get down to doing this, and I don’t think it’s extraordinarily interesting… Unless… you like what we’re listening to?
