Web Wanderings: fashion, love and Kings of Leon!

Charming Kings

Those full-of-Southern-charm boys from Kings of Leon are doing the rounds promoting their latest album "Because Of The Times", and we're super-excited that they are coming to Australia in a few months to do their own shows! That's right, rather than playing strictly at festivals in most states as they've done in the past (which is not always great for us shorter, fairer skinned girls who can't stay out in the sun too long and can't see the bands for the hoards of taller people), the guys are set to wow us with their own, super-fab solo shows. Can't wait! We've already got out pre-sale tix, but tickets officially go on sale this Friday. Check their web site for deets.

CoutureCandy Fashion Blog

I love this celeb fashion blog from CoutureCandy.com. Every few days they post about the latest celeb fashion, and it's a great little read! You can find out what your favourites are currently swanning around town in, get a heads up on what is set to be the next big trend, and see the biggest fashion hits (and misses)! At the moment they're loving Mary-Kate Olsen's black gladiator sandals, Hilary Duff's embracement of orange, Mischa Barton's messy-cool up do, and the return of Alexander McQueen's skull scarf on Nicole Richie (I still love my Supré knock-off skull scarf; gives an edge to any outfit!).

Style.com

Style.com is all about New York Fashion Week right now, and browsing their site is almost like being a fly on the wall at the actual events; it's just so much more comfy to be spying from the comfort of your favourite chair at home! The site covers all the latest offerings from the big name and up and coming designers (including Gwen Stefani's much improved L.A.M.B. label, and Milla Jovovich's Jovovich-Hawk). There are also lots of lush photos and gossip from the front row and the parties (we loved the outfits chosen by Ashley Olsen, Sarah Jessica Parker, Mischa Barton and Amanda Peet), as well as street style from the models, writers, buyers and other people buzzing around this fashion Mecca.

Sunset Marquis

Now, it seems Courtney Love is one lady who seems to polarise opinions, but I would argue that many people only know the unflattering press portraits of Ms Love, without actually knowing all that much about the woman herself and, more importantly, her work. Courtney is streaming a new song on her MySpace entitled "Sunset Marquis" and I for one just can't stop listening to it! At the moment it's only in demo form, and features Courtney singing to piano accompaniment. It will be interesting to see what direction her new album takes when it finally comes out. I think it will sound a little bit 70s, and maybe a little bit Stevie Nicks-ish, which can only be a good thing!
