Zac Posen for Target starring The Like by Gia Coppola? How did I miss this? The song is kind of cute, but as usual it's mostly about the hair, Tennessee Thomas and pretty outfits.

want all of it, obviously

I'll also take Tennessee (she can be my best friend), the bike and the hair on the girl in the last photo. Thanks.

Behold the Autumn/Winter collection from British label Nadinoo. It's a perfect mix of English rose prettiness and dapper eccentricity. Sequins and quirky satin pants add a hint of London edge. The styling is also irresistible- little hats, coloured ankle-socks and t-strap shoes. Can't you just see Zooey posing at a premiere in the red blouse and floral skirt ensemble, and Tennessee goofing around backstage in the dropped waist dress and knee socks?

Well, it's been four years since The Like's last album. Although, when it comes to The Like, I'm inclined to feel that their albums are hardly point- it's more about the outfits. Nonetheless, they have recently announced a change in lineup, as well as a new record in the works. As Buzz Bands reports: "frontwoman Z Berg and drummer Tennessee Thomas remain from the original lineup; bassist Laena Geronimo has replaced Charlotte Froom, who departed to work on other projects; and Reni Lane joins to play keyboards. The Like’s new Mark Ronson-produced album will be released in early 2010."

However, the band still appear to enjoy taking lots of photos of themselves in cute outfits.* And Tennessee is still freaking adorable. So provided this continues, I'm okay with the change.

*although someone needs to have a quiet word to Z about the pitfalls of pleather.

bring back the boater

until recently, the only reason I could think of to wear a boater was to avoid the wrath of prefects performing uniform duty. come to think of it, marc jacobs' squashed boaters look like my school hat after being retrieved from the bottom of my book bag at the polite request of said prefects. what a pity i didn't save it. now i'm feeling all nostalgic for school days.
