Back in September, the adorable Aussie, Lenka, debuted her self-titled album… but apparently we didn’t notice. Whoops. But all that changed after her performance as a part of the Hotel Cafe Tour the other night.

We couldn’t help but be drawn in by her sincere and fun style, and (since we’re being honest here) her awesome vintage 80’s dress in bright purple. And the more we heard, the more we liked. Maybe even loved? We’ll let you decide for yourself if she’s a bit too pop princess, or just the right dose of sugar.

One thing we’re pretty sure we can agree on thing: this girl is damn cute. And we want her wardrobe.

New Year’s resolutions rarely make it past a few months (or weeks… ok, days), but goals from the blog New Resolutions seem to bring a little more fun to the table…

Like releasing your inner Buffy the Vampire Slayer and kicking some personal demon a**.

Or the simply logical advice offered up by this submission. Crazy ice cream trucks.

Of course, there are the motivational resolutions snuck in there as well. You know, for good measure. With one resolution a day until December 31st, we’re adding this site to our daily browsing during ‘down time’ at work. Resolution #37: Don’t get caught by the boss.

We’re on a bit of a kick right now for the whole fashion-meeting-art thing (see our recent post on Dana Cowie, and you’ll see what we mean). So when the brightly colored world of Nikki Farquharson stumbled into our lives, we had to share.

She calls this series ‘Mixed Media Girls’ for obvious reasons, and we’re totally diggin’ the pop art vibe.

Crazy graphics, brilliant color, and sassy text. Our notebook doodles in college never looked this cool.

A little psychedelic design never hurt, right? Peace, love and fashion, people.

The Brit band Kaiser Chiefs officially releases their latest album Off With Their Heads today (along with a slew of other great releases, by the way), and we’re actually really liking the sound they’ve come up with this time around. Here’s just a taste of what you’re in for with the video for Never Miss A Beat (PS - It’s not our favorite track on the album, but it’s a fun listen).

Check out Remember You’re A Girl for a more mellow side of this usually pop punk band along with the rest of the tracks on their MySpace page.

The first time we ever heard the amazing voice that came out of this young phenom, we were amazed. Now, Brett Dennen is ready to wow us all again with a more mature album where the lyrics are just as meaningful as the first, but there is a bit more soul, a bit of branching out and some cool collaborations.

Head over to his website to check out the unique sound from the guy we call our own BFG who not only spreads amazing music around the world, but also heads up and participates in some great non-profit organizations supporting music and community.

We’re in love with a man named Smyth, and here’s why…

He satisfied our cravings for a cozy weekend jacket and a fancy tuxedo jacket.

He understands that a girl needs to exercise her options.

He’s still in love with the nautical look, and so are we. And did we mention his motorcycle? Vrroooom…

The feather fad has officially arrived, and even though we’re sure we’ll be sick of it by winter… we’re still falling for it now!

Go a little crazy with fantasy lashes from Shu Uemera (just in time for Halloween!), or a feather skirt from Elizabeth & James.

Diggin’ the dots on these selections, we reaaalllllly love the clutch from R & Y Augousti. And for those on a budget? There’s always options (like these earrings and hat) at Urban Outfitters
