Music to Our Eyes: Kimbra

Most Americans' first glimpse of this pretty lady was probably in the nude (and a little paint) in the viral video for Gotye's Somebody That I Used to Know.  But she's more than just a scorned ex to Gotye's jilted lover:  she makes music of her own. And it's really good.  It's hard to pinpoint a genre, as it's influenced by a variety of musical styles, depending on the song. And the same can be said of Kimbra's personal style:  it's all over the place, but that's a good thing.

Kimbra has a bright and quirky style with a lot of textures and frequently an element of surprise in any outfit (a great lesson in style!).  Her looks definitely incorporate a lot of vintage pieces and cuts, so Etsy was a great place to recreate some of her original outfits on a dime!







I love how Kimbra's looks incorporate very classic pieces that almost anyone has in their closet, but she gives them a flair all her own. 

But don't just look: give her a listen too (if you haven't already, I recommend Settle Down as a track to start with!).

  4. Gah. She is coming to Denver soon. Really hoping to score some tickets. "I wanna settle down" is one of my favorite running jams :)
