ON REPEAT

White Arrows - Get Gone

Haim - Forever

Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band - Devils Look Like Angels

Lord Huron - Time To Run

Twin Shadow - Run My Heart

A few songs that I have been listening to on repeat. Can't get enough. 

HOLIDAY MUGS

I have a little bit of an obsession with mugs, especially holiday theme mugs. If I could and was allowed, I probably would collect every mug that I found adorable.  The penguin mug I bought last christmas and the snowflake one I bought recently at Target. I think if you are going to have a cup of tea or coffee, why not drink it out of an adorable theme mug :).

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend and sorry for the lack of posts lately. I'm going to try to update this blog more often, so keep a look out for more to come. 

MPMF 2012

Oh Midpoint Music Festival, how I wish I could go back to that weekend. A weekend full of good music, good friends, good food, and good beer. 

THE AVETT BROTHERS - THE CARPENTER

"The Carpenter" is The Avett Brothers seventh studio album which came out Sept. 11th. Once again, they did not disappoint. They wrote another series of catchy and hook-filled anthems that represent a range of emotions. There are six songs that I can't stop listening to: "The Once And Future Carpenter", "Live And Die", "Winter In My Heart", "I Never Knew You", "Through My Prayers", and "February Seven". So many of these songs hit me on a personal level. Each time I listen, I fall in love with each track. The Avett Brothers have been around for a while and this album shows that they still know how to write. Give "The Carpenter" a listen. You may find some meaning in it like I did. You may even love it. 

*Check out their website, their are a few videos of the brothers telling the story behind a couple of the songs on the album. 

SPRING 2013 RTW: MARA HOFFMAN

A beautiful, fun, and bright collection by Mara Hoffman. It has a hawaiian, beachy vibe going on. I love the prints and the bright colors. I would love to own each and everyone of these pieces. I mean, come on, how cute are those dresses?! And that Aloha top! I want.

BAND OBSESSION: JAPANDROIDS

My recent band obsession is Canadian rock duo Japandroids. They are one of those bands that you kind of have to listen to a couple of times until you realize how awesome they really are. They have been around since 2006, with two albums, "Post-Nothing" and "Celebration Rock".  My favorite off the 2nd album "Celebration Rock" is "The House That Heaven Built". Video of the song posted above. They have a punk-rock kind of sound and their music makes you wanna get up and dance. 

If you haven't heard of Japandroids, you should totally take a minute or two and listen to them. You will not be disappointed. 

SPRING 2013 RTW: CALLA

 New York Fashion Week is in full swing and there are so many beautiful collections for spring 2013 ready-to-wear. One of my favorites is Calla Haynes' brand Calla. I love florals and this collection is full of floral prints from dresses to jackets to pants. It's BEAUTIFUL.

HAPPY NEW YORK FASHION WEEK!

This video by Rebecca Minkoff with The Man Repeller, Hilary Rhoda, and Billy Farrell is just priceless. I can't stop watching it. It's just so prefect and too good to be true. Plus it's prefect for today since NYFW starts tomorrow, along with Fashion's Night Out.  I will posting this week with some of favorite pieces from the most of the shows. Hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday and Happy New York Fashion Week y'all!

BAND OBSESSION: IMAGINE DRAGONS

My newest band obsession is Las Vegas, Nevada based band, Imagine Dragons.

When I first heard, "It's Time" I fell in love with the song right away. Everything from the 

amazing beat to the lyrics that make you wanna sing a long to. This song is amazing and I can't stop listening to it. They have an EP out called "Continued Silence" with 5 more amazing songs including "On Top Of World" and "Radioactive". Their full album "Night Visions" comes out September 4th, 2012. If you haven't heard of Imagine Dragons, you should totally check them out, because they are a band that should be on your music radar. 

Hope you all are having an awesome Tuesday!
