Norah Jones was my first experience with idolatry of a musician. Yes, as a 7-10 year old, I fit into the bracket of Backstreet Boy swooning and N*Sync ga-gaing. But Norah, she stood for power, femininity, and the honorable mission to create sultry music that was outside the box. Her songs don’t fit into the “Love Song”, the “Breakup Song” and the “I Miss You” spiral of awfulness that teen-oriented singers fall prey to. Norah’s style is effortless, sultry, and jazzy–here’s how to emulate your own personal rock star.

“If you’re going, to San Francisco….” 

Good ol’ Haight-Asbury, the hippie mecca from our parent’s youth, may have sold out to McDonalds and mortgages, but that doesn’t mean our style has to. Even if you’re not traveling to the San Francisco Bay, take a little trip back in time and hunt up some of your mom’s nostalgic printed dresses and beads. It will put a smile on her face, and your face, too…especially when you put those flowers in your hair.
