I loved Sara Bareilles’ first album, Little Voice, and I am anxiously awaiting her second album release Kaleidoscope Heart where you can preorder on Amazon here (expected around September 7th). I am adoring the latest single, King Of Anything, and the video has just been released and is super cute. View it on Youtube. She… read on >
Nick Hornby, one of my favorite authors (About a Boy, High Fidelity, A Long Way Down), collaborated with Ben Folds to create an album. Hornby wrote the lyrics, Folds wrote and sang the music, and then voila, an album named Lonely Avenue. The album should be released around September 28th, and while it seems unusual… read on >
I go through phases of music obsession, and currently my Andrew Bird obsession is returning. Although he hasn’t released an album in a year, his last album, titled Noble Beast, is pretty much amazing. He produced it himself. His other albums are good too, especially The Mysterious Production of Eggs and Armchair Apocrypha. I think… read on >
Be sure to go buy the new Blitzen Trapper album Destroyer of the Void. I adored their last album, Furr, for their unique sound and catchy tunes. My favorite on that album is definitely “Black River Killer”. Their music at some points sounds older because you can hear the influence of Bob Dylan, Nick Drake,… read on >

It is important to find that natural balance between healthy sun and becoming a leathery person. Wear sunscreen. Seriously, just do it. Use a… read on >
I love barbecues as much as the next person- no definitely more. Summer barbecues are the way to go, but you don’t want to be the person who shows up with nothing. When in doubt, always bring some sort of side dish and aim for something that everyone likes. Remember, summer equals hot, and you… read on >
I am browsing the internet for my next purchase right now. I just decided it’s time for a summer purse. Since my wardrobe is 80% black, I am extremely excited for a non-black purse for this season. I adore raffia and straw clutches for summer. Take a step away from your safe bet of leather,… read on >
