MUSIC MONDAY

I have been feeling a little out of sorts lately, and I have found that any time I am feeling not quite myself, this album helps bring me back to center. It also has some pretty fantastic love songs on it ;)

Happy Monday!

It's Sweater Weather

Good ole' winter has pulled a fast one on us, making us think it was spring earlier in the week and now dropping so low temps and grey skies down on us. How rude! So, because it's officially sweater weather again, I've had this song on repeat.

On Repeat

I'm not even gonna lie, I had never even heard of Two Hours Traffic until I started listening to their cd on Tuesday, but I am already a big fan.  The good news is, it's making my Wednesday so much better! The bad news is, it's actually Thursday and I'm so tired that I keep thinking it's Wednesday. The good news is, that the bad news is actually good news cause that means tomorrow is Friday!! Still with me?

Don't even try to follow, just check out the tunes. ;)

Music for Your Mid Week!

This is my lazy post today. Just listen and enjoy ;)

IT'S HAPPENING!

I honestly couldn't tell you the last time I have eaten at Taco Bell, nor the last time that I had any Doritos. As trashy as it is, these are two of my favorite things, but the scale in my bathroom told me a long time ago (probably when I was in college and ate them both A LOT) that I was no longer allowed to have them. It is a wonder that I have managed to stay away from the Locos Tacos craze, especially after being told by many naturally thin friends that they are amazingly delicious.

Well, that all changes in March.

Taco Bell has announced that the Cool Ranch Doritos Locos Taco is coming on MARCH 7TH!

Also, just so you can pat me on the back, my grandmother was the sister-in-law of the Founder of Taco Bell. Therefore, my Locos Tacos should be FREE!!!!

New York Fashion Week Highlights: Jason Wu

Ok, maybe I stand corrected. It seems as though black is the new black for a LOT of designers this fall, although for Jason Wu we could possibly say that black, white and red are the new black. He absolutely KILLED it with his fall line. Literally, from top to bottom, it is near perfection. Might we see the first lady in any of these daring looks? I'm not sure I support high waisted, pleated pants, but I also feel like Mr. Wu may have a better handle on this than I.

ps- try not to be too distracted by the neon jeans in the front row. How did she get there?






Hopefully this isn't real fur


BOOM! I die.




















Holy Bazoly!!























omGGGGGGGG. I literally canno get enough of this color!!

New York Fashion Week Highlights: Elie Tahari

I didn't think this collection was overall fabulous, but there were a handful of looks that I did really like. It seems as though, in Elie Tahari's world, black is the new black.


Love the leather legging, love the cowl neck coat, and love, love, love the green suede heels.



Because I am turning into a Kardashian and for some reason love leopard print now.



Um, hello chic!


Very cute and kind of looks like a dress that Alcott Clothier is currently making!


I like to call this look High-Low Peplum Rocker Chic

New York Fashion Week Highlights: Vera Wang

Per usual, my eye is drawn to the sparkles in the Vera Wang collection. Not sure my inner ADHD fashionista child will ever grow up. Instead, maybe one day she will make it to Fashion Week!




I'm thinking this tulip skirt shape is going to be Falls answer to the peplum trend.


Sparkles and Black!! It's like Vera's in my mind!




Loving the v-neck shift- more modern and less matronly than a round neck shift dress.


I mean, come on, what's not to love?? Ps- are gloves making a comeback??

Music Moments

Do you guys remember a few weeks ago when I told you about Holly Williams new record and how you should get it as soon as it came out?

Well, it's out as of last Tuesday [I know, I'm a little behind] and if you haven't listened to it by now then you are WRONG. It is truly one of the best albums out of Nashville in a long little while. Holly's style is polished but almost bare boned at the same time. No autotune despite the fact that there are a few moments that could have used it, but how REFRESHING that it was left as is. The Highway is almost like an old piano that is loved in and worn, with a few scratches in the wood and thin ivory, and a note or two that doesn't quite keep tune like they used to, but man oh man it creates a sound like no other piano you've ever heard.

It seems as though Holly's goal was to create a real country album, one that even her grandfather could be proud of. At times I hear influences from Emmylou Harris and Gillian Welch, and others Williams' is a sound all her own.

Check out The Highway below and, if you love it, please support this artist is is creating genuine, quality music.

Grammy Music Monday Pt 3

I mean, this girl can do no wrong. She is flawless in all that she does and I've got mad respect.
