TUESDAY TUNES: LIGHTS

If you took one part Ashlee Simpson and stirred in a bit of intergalactic She-Ra, you’d get Lights – the adorable face of new indie pop whose songs seem to always include a synthesizer and videos that create a world of their own…

Whether you’re into her little make-believe world and sugary voice or not, one thing is for sure… the boys definitely love her!

A SEAWORTHY STATEMENT

Taking a cue from this photo pulled from our inspiration files, we’re loving layers of beachworthy necklaces tangled together like they’ve just been pulled from the sea…

PRISM

We love us a little Garance Dore any day, but we REALLY love it when she leads us to even cooler things like these glasses designed by friend and fashion journalist Anna Laub

Garance offered a little sneak peek on her blog, but the PRISM collection is now set to launch, and the website is up!

Now, all that’s left is choosing the city that defines your style best. Rio? Paris? Rome? Maybe we’ll just take one of each…

SHE’S CRAFTY

This is no 3rd grade art project. The pieces created by artist Julene Harrison not only take some mad skills, but (we’re guessing) some serious patience.

Each piece of paper is custom and created by her and her alone. Talk about an original way to send a message…

Whether it’s an ode to your favorite city or favorite person, these pieces would make an amazing one-of-a kind gift – mounted and framed, they can be kept as artwork forever! For more awesomeness, check out Julene’s website.

TUESDAY TUNES: DISCOVERY

What happens when you cross a keyboardist from Vampire Weekend with a Ra Ra Riot singer? This:

Discovery is the side project of Rostam Batmanglij and Wes Miles. Together they’ve created a seriously electro-pop album perfect for some summertime chillin’. Along with remixes like the cover of Ra Ra Riot’s Can You Tell (aka the Can You Discover? track above), the album includes an ironically timed (and very electronic) tribute to the Jackson 5′s I Want You Back.

While we have a feeling the album itself will lose most of its luster fairly quickly, there are a few songs we’ll be keeping around for as long as the sunshine lets us.
