Jenny Lewis

In honor of the soon-to-be-released Under the Black Light album (August 20) and Rilo Kiley's upcoming performance at Variety Playhouse in Atlanta (September 29), I'm devoting this post to the band's lead vocalist Jenny Lewis. Her sense of style (not to mention her voice) is something to be admired. Somehow she's developed a wardrobe that's cute not cloying, country not Daisy-Dukes-with-cowboy-boots, updated retro not shag carpet retro, fashionista not fashion victim... The uniqueness of her style and versatility of her looks is impressive - especially when you learn that she's a former child star (Jell-O commercials, Growing Pains, Mr. Belvedere just to name a few). Lucky for us, she realized indie rock was more her thing and I couldn't agree more.

I *love* Jenny Lewis. Her style has all of the vintage qualities I love (t-straps, bangs) without being costumey. And her music is fantastic.

Just found your blog. I became immediately hooked when I read "Chinese" and "French Cajun." Very cool!
