Rope, String, & Thread, Part 2

Unfortunately for you guys, I'm not done obsessing over them yet. This IS, after all, a style blog. So I'm rolling the non-existent sleeves up of my bright green camisole and typing until my hands fall off. Or until I lose my train of thought and decide to move on. But preferably the hands falling off part. It makes me look dedicated.

I do have a slight fear of having my arse totally pwned by being sued. But I am giving him credit, no? Moving on, moving on.
They have this certain je ne se quoi to their style. It's laidback (not like surfer, but like... indie rocker. Which is what they are), hip and young, and pretty cool in general. I think I might be able to stare at them for hours. But I digress.
(By the way, I wish these photos came in color. The one below is from their Facebook page. It's okay, I'm really into black and white. It's classy. Yup, classy)

 Rather than going with the direct route and starting with the singer (because that's too cliche), I'm going to start with the people who are always the most understated in the music industry. You guessed it, drummer.
Why is the drummer always so understated? I mean, look at Ringo Starr. When you ask people who their favorite Beatle is, nobody ever seems to say Ringo Starr (sorry Ringo).

Don't be fooled, though. Erik is much too (what's the word?) feisty to not be noticed. From his shockingly (natural) blonde hair to his Converse wearing toes, he's stylish in an unintentional way that can't go unnoticed, even back at the drum set.
What he's wearing: Converse shoes, medium wash jeans, and a bright blue sweatshirt. It's simple, yet the bright blue is attention-grabbing, if his awesome drumming doesn't do it for you first!

From what I hear, Ashton's a real sweetheart. She's multi-talented musically: piano, violin, and bass. She's charming as heck! I love her look here as well.
What she's wearing: red striped shirt, blue bandana around her neck, dark wash jeans (I have a soft spot for them) and Converse shoes. It's a look that stands out from the crowd of peppy (and preppy) teenage girls who all wear the same clothes. Unfortunately I'm one of them, but I definitely respect Ashton! I'm staring at this picture wondering what I'm supposed to call this look. Urban Cowgirl? Cowgirl Rocker Chick? Hmmm... maybe just "Ashton" will do.

Matthew Vandeberg, also called Matt, is notorious for his crazy curly brown hair and his involvement in the school's Quidditch team (where, coincidentally, he met Erik). He plays guitar, but also sings in many of the songs. Many people sit and listen to him sing with his guitar at lunchtime. Easy on the ears, easy on the eyes.
What he's wearing: beanie, purple hoodie (possibly Vans. Correct me if I'm wrong), Goonies tee, light wash jeans, and Nike sneakers. It's always refreshing to see a guy nowadays who's dressed like a skater but is not wearing skinny jeans. Guys in skinny jeans: gross. Please, don't. It kills me on the inside. Only people who are too skinny to wear anything else can get away with this, because it usually looks all right. Where was I going with this?

Last, but definitely not least, is Jasmine Escalante. I think I could have a field day with her. She's itty-bitty like a doll, but has an undoubtedly amazing voice. She also plays the piano and guitar. Jasmine is definitely filled with surprises, and I look forward to hearing more of her.
What she's wearing: black cardi, yellow striped dress, and my personal favorite, wingtip shoes. I would love to own what she's wearing. (I hear Vans makes a pair of wingtip shoes. I will definitely be looking into this) What I love about this outfit is the mix of girliness with the retro goodness of the wingtips. Vintage, mmmm... Jasmine definitely as a lot of style. On a good day, one can also find her sporting cowboy boots with other flirty dresses, both things I'd love to have. Time for a closet raid? Shhh...

Haha, I don't really expect you to read all of that. It's quite long, but if you did, I would applaud you quite heartily. Give yourself a pat on the back, as elementary school teachers used to say!
