SONG PREMIERE: A new trio of female collaborators has emerged from Denton, Texas: Claire Morales, Jena Pyle (Layer Cake, Sundae Crush), and Ariel Hartley (Pearl Earl). They delivered to us this Omnichord-drenched cover of The Everly Brothers' classic "All I Have to Do Is Dream" and it quickly became a staple in our summer soundtrack. 

The sentimental 1958 tune is transformed from an iconic Nashville cheek-to-cheeker into a lulling bedroom confession with expanded vocal harmonies and washes of guitar.

You say that you’ll always love me That you’ll never leave me blue Don’t you know that that’s all fallacy Don’t you know it’s not true

You may want the love they talk about But it isn’t like they say You will find that come tomorrow You won’t feel this way

When you say that you’re in love with me Do you really know what you mean Or are you saying it because you’ve heard of it Or because of something you’ve seen

Don’t believe that love brings happiness Gone tomorrow here today Love involves so much unhappiness Don’t believe what they say

I’ve never played acoustic guitar until this week. Here’s a Vashti Bunyan cover recorded via iPhone.

Wardrobe Visit: Jena Pyle

Our Wardrobe Visit this week features Jena Pyle, who happens to be the first local THV customer (she bought the blue polka dot number seen right above). She's 1/2 of the duo that blogs at Inappropriately Hip, a fantastically curated look at the design world, and 1/3 of the cover band Double Uke. Jena's also no stranger to fractions; I imagine her staggering love of pizza made that unit in elementary math a cheese and pineapple-covered breeze. On this visit, Jena demonstrates her thrifting/vintage finding prowess (the first three outfits are evidence), her love for her ukelele, and the advantages of being extremely tall. We love you, Jena! 

THV: What is your major? JP: Communication Design with a focus in Art Direction

THV: Who/what influences your style the most?

JP: The people I hang around and Denton, but mostly pizza. 99% pizza. Maybe even 100% pizza, honestly.

THV: Is there a particular decade/era that you feel inspires you more than others? Why?

JP:I really have always liked the style of the 50s and 60s. English mod style in the 60s is really nice to look at. As far as places go, England inspires me the most.

THV: What initially draws you to a particular piece of clothing or accessory?

JP: Probably color or nice patterns. "Ohh, that's a nice color!" is what I find myself saying a lot when I look at clothes.

THV: Is there anything you've been experimenting with lately, as far as your usual style goes?

JP: Lately I really have been liking sheer shirts and Tobias Funke never nude shorts, but high waisted.

ABOUT BEING A COMM DESIGN STUDENT

THV: You're the first female Comm Design student we've interviewed. In what ways do you think your design aesthetic and personal style intertwine, if they do at all?

JP: My design aesthetic definitely influences my personal style. I think after being in Comm Design, I've been more particular in the clothes I wear and how I present myself when similarly I get more particular about design. (Except when dealing with stress of a design project, my personal style goes on vacation then.)

THV: If you could pick a Pantone color to bring to life in a piece of clothing, what color would it be?

JP: This was really hard to pick - but I'm going with Pantone 331!
