Music: I promised myself I would never write about music. I am way to selfish when it comes to my favorite artists, but I'm breaking my promise to myself because my recent findings are too good to be kept under wraps. Let's start with St. Vincent.
Annie Clark, who goes by St. Vincent, is a musical genius. Her songs are everything except ordinary, but she pulls it off. I recently bought her song Strangers, and even though I love it, I wish I would have bought her song Marry Me as well. If you have never heard of her pull up a new tab on your Internet and search her on YouTube. She will blow your mind!
Dirty Projectors is a band that I stumbled upon on a blog I check regularly. I fell in love with their song Two Doves. It's one of those songs that melts your heart. It's not an up beat song but a song that you can drift off to sleep listening to! So good...
The last lovely Lady I will tell you about is Zooey Deschanel. Most of you probably already know who she is and that she has an amazing voice. I now have both of her albums with M. Ward, and her song Sugar Town from 500 Days of Summer. She is the cutest/most adorable person ever! She has a unique voice that is absolutely gorgeous.
Fashion: First let me say that Harper's Bazaar has declared that curves are back! Designers, like Louis Vuitton, have gotten rid of boy figured models and traded them in for curvier models. Seems the fashion industry has come a long way since back in the Fall of '09 when they declared anyone over a size was plus size. We all know this fad won't stick aorund for long, but it still is something to get excited over.
Another subject I wanted to touch on was the "tomboy" style. Let me just say, I am all for baseball t's and vans! I have jeans with a hole in the knee, and bum around in t-shirts all the time. Keyword there is bum. I strongly believe that girls can own baseball t's and sneakers, but they aren't for all the time. Recently someone was asking me about being a tomboy, because her daughter REFUSES to wear dresses, skirts, ballet flats, etc. I used to be the same exact way. For whatever reason I thought looking like a dude was awesome! I then grew up and realized that for many years, I went through some very rough phases. I look back on pictures and ask my mom why she didn't refuse to let me out of the house in the clothes I wore. I guess some people just have to learn for themselves. Anyway, as I was saying I totally think that girls can own t-shirts and keds, or vans, or whatever, BUT they are not for eveyday. I have grown to love skirts, and I practically wear ballet flats everyday of my life, but that doesn't mean you have to dress them up, you can dress them down.You can also wear jeans! I wear jeans practically everyday! You just have to wear them right and with the right top. Here's some examples:
Photography: So I've been taking lots of pictures lately. I started a 365 photography project where I take at least one picture everyday for a year! So far it's been going great... I'm a little behind but I've been busy. Here are some of the best shots so far! Enjoy and I'm off to bed.
