Avril Lavigne: Candle Cutie

On the lookout for some good-smelling accessories, Avril Lavigne was spotted doing some candle shopping in Los Angeles yesterday afternoon (January 31).

Joined by a gal pal, the “Complicated” songstress looked a bit annoyed when she noticed some far-off paparazzi snapping up pictures.

As for her new contribution to the “Alice in Wonderland” soundtrack, Avril told press she got the gig thanks to her clothing designs.

“It all started off with me designing an Abbey Dawn/Alice In Wonderland collaboration for my fashion line at Kohls. I was working at the Disney offices going though graphic images from the movie for my designs and getting up to speed on the movie project.”

“I was really inspired and excited about the film at that moment, so I asked Disney if they would like me to write the theme song for the film. They went back to Tim and he said yeah give it a go. I was so excited when I got the news! I sat down on my piano immediately and wrote the song.”
