Happy Weekend! I am in New York with my bestie having a great New York weekend. Starting to feel like fall around these parts – get me a sweater! We are off tonight to see Arcade Fire at the Barclay’s Center and dance and sing our hearts out. But right now? We can’t get enough…
ENTERTAINMENT
NEWPORT FOLK FESTIVAL
A couple of weekends ago, I took another road trip up the Eastern Seaboard to the great state of Rhode Island to go to the Newport Folk Festival music fest in Newport Harbor. It was something of an impulse trip, as somewhere on the internet a few weeks before I stumbled upon the lineup, thought…
MUSIC FOR A FRIDAY: HOZIER
I’ve been listening to a lot of the U Penn public radio recently, which reminds of the University of Washington’s famous KEXP I used to listen to in high school and sometimes still stream at my desk during the day. Those college stations are always good for when you’re sick of all the music you always…
HAIM X LORDE X SHERYL CROW
While channel surfing/cleaning my kitchen this afternoon, I stumbled upon VH1’s ‘You Oughta Know’ concert and this cover of Sheryl Crow’s ‘ Strong Enough’ by Haim & Lorde which actually turned out to be one of the best things to happen to my Sunday. The gangs all here, literally. I am a sucker for a…
go see…
Argo. It’s a great, great movie. I loved it. Suspenseful from start to finish and the most fascinating story. Plus some killer late 70s fashion. I knew I always liked Ben Affleck (tall, dark and handsome), and man, he just keeps getting better with age. Jen Garner and 3 adorable kiddos have really done…
LANA DEL RAY HALLOWEEN COSTUME
On Saturday night I dressed up for a friend’s party as Lana Del Rey in her SNL dress, talon nails and all. The dress I got from a vintage store on Haight street in San Francisco. Tonight, I’m dressing up again and thinking of going as Blair Waldorf circa season 1, which is now,…
the weekend
The best weekend. Started with the lovely and ethereal Florence + The Machine at Shoreline Amphitheatre who charmed us all with her British accent, her skipping across the stage, her harp playing band member and her crowd rallying abilities and whose opener The Weeknd (fitting, yes) killed it as well and is a new favorite….
here
currently listening to: Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros’ new album ‘Here’ folksy and popy and altogether optimistic, its my idea of perfect summer music “Only one desire that’s left in me, I want the whole damn world to come dance with me” – Man On Fire ps… its available on spotify!
on dressing america
“The world could use more micromanagers running companies.” This weekend I took some time to catch up on my TiVo queue, which included CNBC’s excellent documentary on J. Crew’s CEO, the infamous Mickey Drexler, titled “J.Crew and the Man Who Dressed America.” If you like fashion (which I am assuming you all do since you’re…
monday love
Happy Monday everyone! Hope you all had great weekends, and are coping with Monday better than I am- I’m struggling a bit today I have to admit. My weekend was so nice and relaxing – a little daisy flower crown making (how very Drew Barrymore of me) and a trip to the burbs to Target…
