Looks great so far! I like the sketchy icon set you've got going, but it may clash with the app-y feel you're going for... some tips:
Font needs work . The off-center shadow isn't doing anything for the clean lines you've got elsewhere. Remove the shadow or go for an inset look.
Your dividers (and your arrow) are too blurry, try sharpening them. Really dividers like this should be 2 px wide with a row of dark and a row of light... how you accomplish this (line + 0º 1px drop shadow, or just straight up drawing it ) is up to you.
Arrows in apps are typically 45º angles and much sharper. Again you can free draw this (just a diagonal set of pixels) or use the shape tool or pen tool (I'm assuming you're using photoshop here).
Good luck with everything, it's a great aesthetic and you're off to a great start!
Thanks for the tips :P I've actually got two lines, I think the crappiness of the jpg is what's making it blurry looking...but I agree..not happy with the nav font....
