This dress is a beauty! And her make-up is just so good.

Love everything in this post. I adore her make up !

How is it that she was blonde, with short hair, and then in a matter of months was brunette with much longer hair? 'All The Real Girls', couldn't have been in 03 as well? But her style was great when her hair grew out, she looks like a doll!

And I want to thank you ladies for feeding my Zooey obsession!

 

[VesperLynx]

^agree, I too, am Zooey-obsessed
I can't believe how much of a chameleon Zooey has been in the past decade.
I think I prefer her look now but I loved her as a blonde

Thanks LolaSvelt. I can't really comment on Zooey since we can't see her that well, but I must say that Ben is a lot more handsome with a shaven face. Atta boy!

This article has nothing to do with Zooey, but it features Z and Emily's picture so I thought it might be worth posting here.

Having a sister might make you a better person
Siblings, particularly sisters, help ward off negative feelings, study show

Though siblings can sometimes be a pain, having a sister might be good for kids' emotional health, according to a new study.

The results show young adolescents who had sisters either younger or older were less likely to experience negative feelings, such as loneliness and guilt.

"Even after you account for parents' influence, siblings do matter in unique ways," said study researcher Laura Padilla-Walker, of Brigham Young University in Utah. "They give kids something that parents don't."

The study is part of BYU's Flourishing Families Project and included 395 families with more than one child, at least one of whom was an adolescent between the ages of 10 and 14. The researchers gathered a wealth of information about each family's dynamic at the study's start and then followed up one year later.

Sisters seemed to help siblings avoid negative emotions. Those adolescents with sisters were less likely than those without sisters to indicate feeling lonely, unloved, guilty, self-conscious and fearful. It didn't matter whether the sister was younger or older, or how far apart the siblings were age-wise.

Brothers matter as well, though their positive influence manifests in different ways. Having a loving sibling of either gender promoted good deeds, such as helping a neighbor or watching out for other kids at school. In fact, loving siblings fostered charitable attitudes more than loving parents did. The relationship between sibling affection and good deeds was twice as strong as that between parenting and good deeds.

"For parents of younger kids, the message is to encourage sibling affection," Padilla-Walker said. "Once they get to adolescence, it's going to be a big protective factor."

OMG.

I thought it wasn't real, but it is.

Remember in (500) Days of Summer when Tom says,

"I love her heart-shaped birthmark on her neck,"

and then the people in the theatre laughed because there is no way someone has such a "perfect" birthmark?

No. It's there. Do you see it? Look: http://forums.thefashionspot.com/showpost.php?p=7682619&postcount=367
It's so light and fair, but it's REAL! It wasn't just for the movie. Oh, man.

I just went off the deep end.

I wonder if the write of 500 days of summer noticed that and took some inspiration from her?

Zooey is wonderful in every way.

and I just adore her make-up in post #367

Just the other day had the chance of watching (500) days of summer and she looked lovely there, will start following her thread now. She has a very 50's look which I really like.

Here's the interview :

One half of indie folk band She & Him, Zooey Deschanel talks making movies, shunning the fashion world and wrapping her tour in STL this month.

In this day and age, when most would likely be hard-pressed to name a true original, Zooey Deschanel stands out from the crowd. A multi-talented entertainer who first caught our eyes in 2000’s “Almost Famous,” in which she played the influential sister of the main character, Deschanel’s acting career has since taken off; she is now typically cast as a leading lady, as in such recent blockbusters as “Yes Man” and “(500) Days of Summer”—and her music career is also on the rise.

Since forming She & Him with M. Ward in 2008, the duo has released two albums to critical acclaim. A follow-up to “Volume One,” the recently debuted “Volume Two” incorporates several catchy covers in keeping with the band’s ode-to-the-’60s-and-’70s sound; the corresponding promotional tour will conclude at St. Louis’ first LouFest music festival on August 29.

Thanks to her budding “it” girl status, several brands, including London-based cosmetics brand Rimmel (which has formerly featured Kate Moss), are now calling on Deschanel to be the face of ad campaigns. In addition, a handful of in-the-works films are set to prove her range and take her acting career to new heights; she’ll play Janis Joplin in “The Gospel According to Janis” and a lesbian in the soon-to-be-released “My Idiot Brother.” Still, during my recent interview with her, when asked what she’s most looking forward to in the promising months ahead, she simply replied, “I am most excited about playing music.” No mention of big-money projects or even time off? Talk about an independent spirit.

ALIVE: Much of St. Louis is abuzz with excitement over She & Him coming to St. Louis this month. What can we expect?
Zooey Deschanel: We have very fun shows. I think people can expect to have a fun time, and perhaps cut a rug.

ALIVE: How did you meet [bandmate] M. Ward?
ZD: We met on a movie I was in, and for which Matt wrote the music; the director had asked me to sing with Matt for the end credits. I mentioned that I had composed a boat-load of songs, and he asked to hear them. I sent him mp3s, and Matt said that he might like to produce them.

ALIVE: And a star was born! I know the band’s songwriting process is collaborative; how does the process usually play out?
ZD: I write the music, so I will usually record a demo with piano, a lot of backup vocals and some sampled drums. I will email the song to Matt, who then thinks about production ideas. We will then chat about what we think it should sound like. Sometimes the songs end up being very close to the demos; other times, the instrumentation and sound completely change in the recording process. Matt has really impeccable taste, so if he has an idea, I am always keen to try it.

ALIVE: What would you say most inspires She & Him’s music?
ZD: Well, we like a lot of the same music, which is a very good touchstone; we are able to talk in shorthand because we end up referencing a lot of the same stuff. But, of course, we will bring totally different things to the table. When I write music, I am first and foremost a singer and a piano player, so that's my perspective, and I am always very into layering the backing vocals and keyboard parts. Matt is a guitar player and producer, so he's paying attention to different things than I am. It's a little like a relay race.

ALIVE: You guys have been on the road for a long time now. You've said in prior interviews that you traveled a lot as a kid, thanks to your folks' working in the entertainment industry—and that, at the time, you basically hated it. How does touring compare?
ZD: It's totally different. As a child, I was in places for long periods of time—months, or years—and, if I didn't like a place, I had no choice but be there away from my friends and everyone I knew; it wasn't a choice I was making. With touring, I am in a different city every day. If I don't like a place, then I will see someplace new the next day. And the bus is like your little traveling house; you can fill it with all the things that make you comfortable. I am not very high maintenance, so it's easy for me to be comfortable.

ALIVE: How do you find time to squeeze in a successful acting career?
ZD: I do what motivates me in the moment. Acting in films is very, very physically difficult, as it involves long hours and fitting into a structure. Touring is more focused on the hour-and-a-half each night that you are onstage—so, compared to acting, it feels like a vacation! And recording music that I write with a producer I trust so implicitly is much more of an expression of who I am than being simply an actor for hire. That said, I enjoy acting very much. But, if I didn't do the music, I would probably go a little crazy.

ALIVE: So, would you say music is your first love?
ZD: I play music every day. I also listen to a lot of music. It's a constant companion.

ALIVE: Your retro style definitely mirrors your music, and is inspiring to so many—yet you don’t typically wear the “hot” brands, or attend fashion shows as a guest. So, what led to you singing at an Erin Fetherston show (I was there; it was a highlight of my NYFW trip!)?
ZD: Erin Fetherston is a very dear friend of mine. I love her clothes. But, I am not a fashion person; I don't really care what's in style. I want to wear clothes that express who I am and that are flattering. I think people might respond to the fact that I don't really care what the fashion world thinks of me; I am happy if I am able to inspire people to express themselves. But I don't kowtow to the fashion industry.

ALIVE: Where do you see She & Him in five years?
ZD: I don't believe in five-year plans. I am just going to play a lot of music and hope that in five years, I am playing even more music. I love getting to make music with Matt and our comrades in the She & Him family and, as long as I am privileged enough to have that opportunity, I will take advantage of it.

The Guest List: Zooey Deschanel Shares Her 10 Favorite Songs

After listening to only a few songs off of Volume 2 from the actress-turned-musician Zooey Deschanel and indie folkie M. Ward (both of whom make music under She & Him), you’ll forget you’re listening to a movie star and will be swept away by timeless, alt-country meets indie-pop harmonies. When we had the chance to catch up with the rising music star, we had to ask her to share her top ten favorite songs of all time.

1. Michael Nesmith – “Joanne”

“This song has such an incredibly beautiful melody! Michael Nesmith is a great song writer, and very underrated. His records are fantastic.”

2. The Passions/Beach Boys - “All This Is That”

“I love this song from Carl Wilson’s record. Great harmonies.”

3. Dusty Springfield - “Let Me Down Easy”

Dusty Springfield’s voice is as great as they come. This is a lesser known song from her London days.”

4. The Louvin Brothers – “My Baby’s Gone”

“The Louvin Brothers are geniuses! Like the Everly Brothers they are masters of 2 part harmony, but lesser known. It’s definitely worth buying all of their records.”

5. The Free Design – “I Found Love”

“Free design is a group of siblings who made some of the first easy listening music in the late sixties early seventies, produced by Enoch Light they sing beautifully together, in a child-like and wonderous way.”

6. The Zombies – “Whenever You’re Ready”

“Zombies, one of my favorite bands of all time. This song is a classic. Colin Blunstone is an exceptional vocalist. There is no group like the Zombies.”

7. Gene Clark – “No Other”

“He left the Byrds because he was afraid of flying. Gene Clark had a very interesting solo career with many great records. This is the title track of the very unique and haunting record No Other.

8. Jim Croce – “Operator”

“I love Jim Croce. He had such an expressive voice, and was a fantastic song writer.”

9. Billy Joel – “Allentown”

“This song has such an uplifting melody but such dark subject matter: My favorite combination. One of Billy Joel’s finest!”

10. Ella Fitzgerald – “I’m Making Believe”

“This song puts me to sleep in the best way. I love all of Ella Fitzgerald’s duets with the ink spots but this is a favorite.”

#5, 6, and 10 are so
