jane likes (and will get)...'the sartorialist' book by scott schuman

The Sartorialist (aka Scott Schuman) will be releasing a book compiling all the photographs he's taken thus far and featured on his blog. For those of you that don't know, Mr. Schuman captures everyday people (well, models included) with a keen sense of style and in a way that "designers looked at people, and get and give inspiration to lots of people in the process."

Set to be released on August 12th in the US and worldwide by early September, I'm DEF gettin myself a copy! Here's more information about where you can pre-order a copy but until then, keep checkin out his blog!

the last time i enjoyed a spanish (pop) album was christina aguilera's mi reflejo. but after hearing/seeing nelly furtado's (yes! she's finally back!) first single off her new album (mi plan), 'manos al aire,' i think i might enjoy another album totalmente en espanol! :)

take a look:

jane likes...Diane Birch

I was looking at some of mtvU's Freshmen 5 picks, and Diane Birch stuck out to me. Her voice is so soulful and she's sooo cute too! I love finding new artists to listen to! Although looks like she's already well on her way!

Check out her bio (so interesting!) and more music on her myspace.
