The Blues are Still Blue... (my first real post in a very long time)

Look what I did... I acually posted as promised!

Right now I am sitting infront of my computer as I watch Twin Peaks on Netflix and eat an egg salad sandwich. What a wonderful way to start out the Fourth of July.



Dress: Vintage
Shoes: Forever 21

 Before any of this happened though I got all dolled up and took a few outfit pictures before the heat became unbearable. I had the perfect outfit for this festive day. I actually got this vintage dress freshman year of highschool, actually it was first authentic vintage dress. The greatest thing is that it still fits. And truthfully I can't think of anything else to say right now. I'll come up with something. My head is currently swimming with visions of fireworks and hot dogs  and swimming, and the exciting happenings in Twin Peaks...

By the way this is actually my first time wearing these espadrilles. I got them a while ago but I never wear heels, they are just to restrictive for my everyday running around. Unfortunatley, I love buying heels so maybe I should put them into good use...

What else to talk about let's see... Well on Wednesday I'm heading to New Jersey to see  a few friends, and play a few shows with my band. Fun stuff right? Actually it's a tremendous amount of fun and our band sounds fantastic. Really. If you haven't read any of my recent posts my band is called, "Underwater Country Club" and we have a fan page on the Facebook. And if you can, come to one of our shows. They are so much fun. What I'm really excited for is Saturday's show in New York City at a venue called Arlene's Grocery. The Strokes played one of their first shows there. We actually played there in the winter, but they liked us so much that we were called back for their best of night. Here's the link to the event if you want to go (It's 21+) LINK. Here's a list of our shows in the next week, see if you can come out for one of them, maybe even shoot me an e-mail for more info:

Wednesday July 6th, Langosta Lounge

Asbury Park, NJ

Thursday July 7th, Trinity and the Pope

Asbury Park, NJ

Friday July 8th, Mill Creek Tavern

Philadelphia

Saturday July 9th, Arlene's Grocery

New York City

So I guess this is goodbye. Until tomorrow...

Listening to: The Blues are Still Blue by Belle and Sebastian

July! July!...

Second post of the day! I guess I'm making up for lost time. Since I last was here I pruned apple trees,  painted my nails (influenced by my nail polish post), wrapped presents for my little sister's birthday, and took outfit photos!

Dress: Tulle (tulle4us.com)

Shoes: Thrifted

Pin: Thrifted

This is an Americana inspired outfit. It's perfect for the Fourth of July isn't it? I feel like I should be making apple pie or going to a picnick. The dress is one of my favorites. It is very early 60's (my favorite fashion era) and has a magnificent peter pan collar (I love them with immense passion). It is cute and checkered and kind of reminds me of Zooey Deschanel. It was also $15 dollars on sale. It is the best dress in the world.

I had a difficult time taking these pictures because originally my sister was going to take them. However, we got into a fight over the nail polish I am wearing (It's hers). She took a couple pictures, but they were terrible except for this one. (Above) Luckily, we have made up and were just watching the Discovery Health Channel together. Awww...

Talking about my sister, the other day my sister and I, along with our friend Leah, recorded some music together. I play the cello, my sister the violin, and Leah the guitar. Leah made a little video of our recording session and I thought you guys might like to hear it. Our video, was featured on another blog, To Eleven (truthfully never read it, but googled my name and it came up). The article is kind of strange though, I don't know if he likes it or doesn't like it, I don't know. Just keep in mind that when we recorded this video, we all were very hungry for lunch and we are amateurs and don't have any delusions of grandeur. And one more thing, I was not serious with my bopping, I was joking.
