Songs on Repeat {week four}

April 28, 2015

1. Air Balloon by Lilly Allen
First off I had one artist playing on repeat every day this week. First was Lilly. Lilly Allen is such a babe. She has a cutesy style, but so much sass. I am falling back in love with her right now. Its been a while so it's so much fun coming back to this and new stuff too. Honorable Mentions: Fuck You, Somewhere We Only Know, The Fear, Sheezus, Insincerely Yours, etc.
2. Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High? by Arctic Monkeys
Felt more rocker today I guess. I really love the Arctic Monkeys' sound. They are a lot like the Black Keys with the chill, laid back, indie rock sound. And who can resist a group of talented guys from the UK? Honorable Mentions: Snap Out of It, Knee Socks
3. Beware the Dog by The Griswold's
Favorite on this list right now. Gosh I love this band of Aussies. They opened up for Walk The Moon when we saw them a little while ago and I regret not knowing them before because now we have to by tickets to go see them when they are on tour in July. Great music all around. Must listen. Honorable Mentions: 16 Years, Be Impressive, Down and Out, etc.
4. Chocolate by 1975
Another Indie band of course because I'm a quote unquote hipster. Really Just starting to get into this band, a little behind the trend I know, but I'm really liking it so far. Honorable Mentions: Settle Down, Heart Out, Robbers, Girls
5. Step by Vampire Weekend
Vampire weekend takes me back. I remember getting the Cousins single free on iTunes and thinking they were the coolest ever. They came up on my Songza the other day and it made me want to look them up again and find new stuff. Honorable Mentions: Oxford Comma, Ya Hey, Obvious Bicycle, Holiday

Songs on Repeat {week three}

April 18, 2015

1. Credit by Meghan Trainor from Title
It was finals week so I didn't listen to a whole lot of music this week, but my drive home was Meghan Trainor on repeat. I love love love her sound. It reminds me a lot of my other favorite artist Olly Murs. Fun upbeat music and great lyrics that fit any mood, who could ask for more? So yeah I'm falling in love with her and it's great. Honorable Mentions: Bang Dem Sticks, My Selfish Heart, Dear Future Husband.

To be completely honesty that is all I've listened to the last two weeks. Will have a lot more next week for sure because it's time for summer!

20 under $20 :: Striped Top

April 15, 2015

Im developing a pretty bad addiction to stripes. Stripes are the classic clothing pattern that will always look good so I know it will never go out of style. You can throw a striped tee on with anything and it just looks good, like you know what you're doing. Here are 20 striped tees I found from well known clothing stores that were under $20.
