Going Brogue

So I love washed out, low-fi, indie as much as the next hipster but I gotta say, while looking at the UK pop charts today I noticed that artists like Bruno Mars with killer style make me go weak at the knees. I mean check out this dude's saddle shoes and pompadour! In the words of GQ he looks "sharp as Satan".

I've been rockin the oxford flat for a good 2 years now, and I really, REALLY, hope they don't become obsolete any time soon. I mean they are freakin adorable and so comfortable!

My love for these shoes has grown to an obsession over the years. It's reached a point where I just see a pair and I start to water at the mouth, thinking I've got to have those....

I mean seriously, look at this! Why the hell do I have two pairs of navy two-tones? Is that ever really necessary?

Is it necessary that I also just ordered another pair of black oxfords with fringe?
 Probably not. But check them out, they are AMAZING!!!
Madewell
Look if Alexa Chung endorses them, I gotta have them.

Another band I think has great style is White Lies. Sure their color pallet only consists of one color, but they always manage to dress to impress.

I'm so excited because they just came out with a new album!!!! Here's the first single if you want to check it out, the video is super strange, like a scene from ET. I don't really get it, but then again I'm not much of a deep thinker either.

 I gotta mention this newish band called The Heartbreaks. I think everything about this is adorable from their music to their perfectly British outfits! I am a sucker for rolled up trousers exposing colorful socks and of course OXFORDS!!!

Finally I'm going to throw in a shout out to Mystery Jets. Normally this is a pretty scraggly lot of musicians who make BEAUTIFUL music. So when I first saw this video I was really impressed. They all look amazing...oh and the song's good too...

The girl in this video makes me want to put gobs of eyeshadow on. Maybe that's the trick to attracting a guy with long greased up hair?
