On blogging, music, and some updates...

Sorry I haven't had any blog posts in a while.  Actually I haven't read any blogs in a while either. I've just become slightly disillusioned with the whole fashion blogging thing lately. I feel that I can never get a good enough outfit together. I think "I could if I had more shoes" or "only if I had more hats." The truth is that I don't have an unlimited supply of clothing. So I don't have these things. I told my mom I felt this way and she said, "You can't buy any more clothes, you have enough already." It's true, I have no room, I live in a tiny tower at the top of my house with a small closet. So I feel stuck and inferior to other fashion bloggers. I was unsure if I was going to continue blogging, but I decided to persevere. I wonder if others feel the same way.

Anyway one thing I have been doing lately, in extreme excess is listening to music. I've been reading Pitchfork and Sterogum like a madman. I usually read them, but latley it has become a slight obsession. I decided since I'm going to do radio in college I better start reading up on the music scene. So, I've been posting videos on Facebook non stop. About 4, 5 songs a day. Yikes. I bet people are starting to get annoyed.. Here are some songs that I enjoy...


Local Natives has been a slight obsession of mine for a few days. I had their music for a while, but haven't enjoyed a lot until now.



This has been a favorite song since May. It makes me feel like such a badass!



Catchy song isn't it! I'm going to buy the vinyl version because of the great songs and record partly because the record is bright blue.
In other news here are some updates:
  • I got a new computer for college. Dude, I got a Dell, and has a beautiful pattern on the lid. (I will take a picture of it.)
  • Tomorrow I will be heading on a family vacation to Nantucket Island off of Cape Cod (how CT of me), I will try to keep up to date with the blogging and take lots of pictures. (Lots of bikes)
  • I came up with the best DIY project ever. It has to do with sparkly nail polish and how you can save big $$$ on it. I didn't need to buy the Anna Sui nail polish after all, I learned how to make my own (and it's amazing!) I'll do the DIY post after the vacation (it's only a week).

    (Really bad web cam picture of my sparkly nails. The blurriness makes it mysterious, right?)

    Thanks for reading the whole thing (if you did). There were some things I needed to get off my chest. Now I'm feeling better and excited to keep on blogging.
