I've been a Norah Jones fan since her first album, Come Away With Me. Chasing Pirates is off her newest album, The Fall, and I am obsessed with this song. However, can we talk about the video for a second? It is 2 minutes and 42 seconds of pure loveliness.
The whimsical nature of the video mimic the song lyrics perfectly. C'mon, she is sailing a pirate ship through New York City. That is ballin. Not to mention, Norah looks ah-ma-zing. I adore her new short, wavy 'do.
Plus, her wardrobe? Gorge, gorge, gorge! The distressed, cloudy colored boots she wears in the beginning of the video are the perfect mix of grungy chic. Also, I love the chunky gold bracelets that adorn her wrist when she bends down to pick up the glass bottle. I can hear them jingling together now.
Furthermore, her take on a, quote on quote, pirate outfit is super cute. The one earring, black vest and knee high boots, gold cuffs, and gauzy soft pink skirt are costume-y yet fashion forward. Oh Norah, you slay me! Oh, and where can I buy a replica of that exact outfit? Perhaps I'll be a classy pirate for Halloween this year.
Finally, we must dissect her makeup as it is pure perfection. The women has porcelain skin (refreshing considering most celebs are some sort of orange-y, bronze-y, skin- color-not-found-in-nature). Her dark eyes pop against her smudged, navy eyeliner and are framed by a fan of lush, inky lashes. Her glossy, baby pink pout contrast the darker eye makeup and warm up her complexion. All in all, sheer, unadulterated pretty.
Norah Jones is most certainly Swoon.-worthy. Now, go check out The Fall. You won't be disappointed.
um, she doesn't just sail any old pirate ship thru nyc, she sails an apartment building that turns INTO a pirate ship. Even MORE ballin'.
