GROWING UP

Posted Jul 15 2009 @ 07:36 PM

Ashley Tisdale was caught by the paparazzi while she was showing her newly purchased home in LA to her manager and her dad on July 13, construction workers finishing up the final details of Tisdale's alleged new digs. For her casual, summery look, Ash started with a breezy white cami (try Da-Nang's Silk Cami in White or Joe's Jeans' Mattie Cami in Sea) and paired it with super-short, bleached out Siwy denim cutoffs (like Rich & Skinny's Lover Footloose Shorts in Vintage) a tough-looking chocolate brown boots. For the rest of her outfit, A.Tis snagged a classic pair of aviators, a luscious nude leather bag, and a long silver necklace (similar to Rachel Leigh Jewelry's Heart Statement Necklace in Pink), in addition to a mega bottle of Fiji Water. Ashley definitely seems to be growing up and coming into her own lately, as she recently got her first tattoo (partial photos insinuate that the tat might be the Italian word "bella") and her new album, "Guilty Pleasure," is a more mature sound for Ash. An early review of the disc on Associated Content says that the lead single, "'It's Alright, It's Ok' comes off as a Kelly Clarkson rip off, a sweet-voiced verse and an explosive pop hook. While this formula has been done time and time again, it's still an uplifting fun song without the big sounds Clarkson would deliver." On a more positive note, the review continues, "'Masquerade' stands out as one of those pop rock tracks that have potential on the sophomore effort. Loud guitars and shouting vocals make this a fun fist pumping tune about contorting with a love interest to make him happy. 'Erase and Rewind' takes on the same style but amps up the bass drum in her dance pop tune that Katy Perry could have handed to her." Will any of you be checking out her new album when it drops?
