Parents may not understand why their kids want to disappear into over-size clothing or buy a new T shirt that's "distressed" to look old or wear a secondhand hat that would look at home on a 19th century train engineer, but they should be grateful for two things: the style is inherently modest--"the girl is not as much of a sex object," notes Azria-Palombo--and it's much less costly than last year's brand-driven, preppy look...
...boho style is even being adapted for younger children. The London-based Boden catalog has a new line that's a hit with urban moms (and their kids). For girls, there are shaggy fringe cardigans, plus T shirts and knitwear with lots of handwork, including sequins and woven patches. For boys, who are less likely to layer, shirts and pants are "washed" to look lived in.

Jumping on this trend for fall may be as simple as tossing some strings of wooden beads over a T shirt or a '70s knit cardigan with a belt over a school uniform, given that floppy hats and supersize sunglasses may not pass any classroom dress code.

But it is the character behind the fa?ade that Neill articulates best. In one of the film's most poignant scenes...
...hadn't guessed by now, Death Cab for Cutie can be as precious as a unicorn on a Hello Kitty T shirt. That makes the band's new album, Plans, out Aug. 30, one of the more intriguing arrivals of the summer. Death Cab's previous records peaked at respectable low-to-mid six figures on Barsuk Records, an independent label so tiny that it gets most of its mail at a P.O. box. With Plans, the band moves to the hulking multinational Atlantic, and even though big record companies are in danger of mismanaging themselves into irrelevance, the major...
