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.

Flowers and teapots...

So,I am extremely tiered. Busy past two days.
Yesterday, I was in a car crash. Don't worry, everyone is fine (except for a poor mailbox). My older sister and I were in the car and there was just a huge sun shower (the first rain in a while) when the car started to skid. Amazingly she kept the car on the road and avoided the huge ditch along the road. Eventually when she had to do a donut because the two right tiers blew out a mailbox went through our window, shattering glass and cutting us up a little.  The car doesn't have a scratch on it, besides the broken window and two blown out tiers. It could have been a lot worse. Actually, about 10 minutes after our accident another person skidded about 500 ft away from us and crashed into a pole, totaling their car. This reminded me that crashes happen so easily and people need to be so careful on the road.
Then today I worked for 8 hours organizing the chemical lab at work. If I could go without seeing another graduated cylinder my whole life and be extremely happy. After work I decided that I needed to post some more outfits so I did a photo shoot (with a semi-broken tri-pod I found at work).
So basically, I'm pooped.

Dress: 70's Vintage

Hat: Thrifted

Shoes: Anthropologie

These are close ups of the print. Isn't it adorable!

Listening to: Thieves by She & Him (the music video just premiered on Pitchfork)

Also, sorry I never posted the fourth of July pictures, my friend took the pictures with his camera and he hasn't sent them yet, don't worry though, he said he'll send them soon.

Now I think I'll go to sleep.

I just can't get enough!

I've loved Rooney since The Princess Diaries (the lead singer played Anne Hathaway's love interest. He played the keyboard with M&M's on it, remember?) They're so cute! However, through out the years, I've lost touch with Rooney, until today, when my sisters and I were watching MTV U. A music video with bright vivid outfits of the roller disco days started whirling at me. If was like the aurora borialis! Spandex, crop tops, neons and roller skates were abundant. I was mesmerized.

It was Rooney's new video for "I Can't Get Enough." I usually don't like that late 70's early 80's style (I'm more of a 50's, 60's girl), but I was impressed.  I LOVE the hot pants, bandeau tops, a particular striped top with a low back, and a white belted dress. This has convinced me to do a roller disco inspired photo shoot. A few weeks ago I bought a pair of vintage pink hot pants that will fit the theme perfectly. With a little help from my mom (a roller disco queen back in her day) I think this could end up being really fun and cute. I might even dig up some old photos of my mom at the roller disco!

 What do you think of roller disco style?
