    Paired up for their third album, the duo of Deschanel and M. Ward rocks a swingingly unique take on traditional holiday tunes with a sound that’s simultaneously modern and retro.

  4. Zooey Deschanel is A-dork-able in ‘New Girl’

    JESS DAY (Zooey Deschanel, “(500) Days of Summer”) is an offbeat and adorable girl in her late 20s who, after a bad breakup, moves in with three single guys. Goofy, positive, vulnerable and honest to a fault, Jess has faith in people, even when she shouldn’t. Although she’s dorky and awkward (this part I can relate) she’s comfortable in her own skin. More prone to friendships with women, she’s not used to hanging with the boys – especially at home.

    New Girl series premiere TUE 9/20 at 9/8c. I can’t wait!!!

    I started packing my own lunch for work so I can buy a pair of TOMS every week for a year. They make both my feet and my soul happy. In the end, I will have 48 new pairs of shoes, but what matters is that there will be 4 less barefoot kids in the world every month because of me. =)
