free image: she and him

We might know Zooey Deschanel from the big screen, in the movies Elf, Yes Man, and (500) Days of Summer, but did you also know she is in a band?! Well if you saw Elf than you know she can sing! Zooey is a actress and singer-songwriter from California, who teamed up with M. Ward to create an indie band, She & Him, which released their first album in 2008, Volume One. Volume One recieved positive reviews and became quite popular, especially with the help of music videos in collaboration with (500) Days of Summer. Volume Two was released in 2010 and also recieved positive reviews and the duo gained an instant following. Zooey does the singing, writes the lyrics, and plays piano and ukulele, while M. Ward provides the guitar and production. Together, they have created songs that sound like sunny-day pop songs with a throw back to 50s and 60s vintage. I have really enjoyed the songs Why Do You Let Me Stay Here and In the Sun. Check them out! Did I mention there is dancing in In the Sun music video?!:) Also, did I mention she married Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie?! She did. NOT Hunter Burgan *phewf!*

Zooey's vintage voice matches her vintage style perfectly: the girl is always spotted wearing floral dresses, mary-jane heels, tights, cute headbands or bows, and adorable coats. In (500) Days of Summer, Zooey's character Summer Finn was always portrayed wearing a blue outfit. This explains exactly why I love her clothes so much! Did I mention she has the best hair ever?! Below I've included some pics of her outfits that I think best represent her style, along with my take on her fashion. Enjoy!
