LA Look Part II
thetwinshadow:

My heart shattered when I that the Twin Shadow/Diamond Rings show sold out before I could even attempt to buy a ticket, I have been equally obsessed with both and I deserved to go to their show! Yes, I have seen them both live but once is never enough. But sure enough Twin Shadow pulled through like a champ and added another show for me! So for all you Los Angelinos...

Washed Out @ Echoplex
This past weekend I had the pleasure of going to see one of my current favorite artists, Washed Out. I’ve talked in the past about my obsession with Ernest Greene and his southern sweetness that I find irresistible, so you can imagine my excitement upon receiving my tickets in the mail that I hung on my fridge for a full week before the show, just to prepare myself. I’ve been...

The Ballad
“The Ballad” by New Look is currently being added to my list of favorites. It probably seems like any song I listen to lately is MY FAVORITE, but that’s just cause lately I refuse to listen to anything but the best. Therefore, this song qualifies. I think The FADER describes this song best:
“On “The Ballad,” New Look sing through a six-minute breakup. It sounds like the...

I don't want love.
I’m embarrassed and sad that it has taken me this long to discover The Antlers. They’ve been around for a few years now, although originally this was a solo project headed by Peter Silberman. This past week I’ve had an unhealthy obsession with just about every one of their songs, Silberman’s empathetic voice is like a sturdy shoulder to cry on and I can’t get enough!...

COACHELLA
I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s freaking out, but when I woke up this morning to see everyone’s facebook statuses regarding Coachella, my heart burst with joy. FINALLY! I’ve been hearing rumors for so long about the lineup and am so excited to finally see it become official! Check it out:

Traffic Jams.
I know I complain about traffic a lot. But that’s only because I spend hours of my week sitting in traffic, often stressing about if I will ever even make my final destination. This week was particularly stressful as I was trying to make important meetings (one of which I showed up on the completely wrong day), and still trying to get to class before all the good seats are taken (a.k.a the...

The Study Guide.
If you’re a student, like me, you are probably torturing yourselves over finals or maybe you’re throwing yourself a huge party because you have just survived them. My brain is near dead from all the cramming I’ve been doing, and I think I maybe was on the brink of breaching a psychotic break, but instead I turned to my study guide. No, not that kind of study guide. The kind of...

FINALLY!
When I was in undergrad I used to go to my most favorite place in the entire world, which also happened to be the only place where my brain seemed to function properly….THE GYPSY DEN. It was perfect, awesome coffee (Cafe Francaîs), awesome food (Veggie BLT, anyone?), really great friendly service, and the best study environment you could possibly imagine.
I’ve been hunting...

WatchMy Mom sent me this video a few weeks ago. I love the Olsen twins, I guess I never really grew out of those Adventures of Mary Kate & Ashley videos. I’ve been following these two since I was a child and couldn’t be more thrilled at the outcome of all their designing endeavors. This video really encapsulates the passion and knowledge of fashion these two have, Elizabeth and James is...

Sun Airway.
A while ago I stumbled upon Sun Airway and was impressed with what I heard. I was surprised to learn that Sun Airway was the result of former A-Sides members, Patrick Marsceill and Jon Bathmus, needed a refreshing project. It seems as though their A-Sides days weren’t completely put to waste, as they took what they learned from being in the A-Sides to record on their own for the first time...

Robyn @ Club Nokia
The only word that comes to mind when I think about Robyn’s performance a couple nights ago is “euphoric.” Robyn’s energy was intoxicating, and everyone in the crowd was feeling it. Watching Robyn perform, it’s obvious that she feels every word she sings; and looking at various faces in the crowed, it seemed as though everyone could relate to her songs, that they...

'Tis The Season
The Harry Potter season, that is. Most of you are probably sick of all the HP fanatics, unfortunately, I am one of them! I can’t help it. As an avid reader, I was given a HP book at a young age and never really put them down. My grandma even used to send me the British copies of the books so I could truly get the full HP effect.
While Harry Potter used to be my sole reason for being...

Thirsty for a Good Cause
I wouldn’t normally blog about a charity. When it comes to charity organizations, I’m not a fan. Quite frankly, I think it can be somewhat pretentious when organizations throw huge parties and give a measly 1% of their fundings to the actual charity. It seems a little dumb to put my money (which I don’t really even have that much of anyways) in an organization when I don’t...

Blowing Chunks.
I’ve always been somewhat of a simple dresser and depend on accessories to make my outfit complete. In particular, big, chunky, blingin’ accessories. I love the idea of a simple torn jeans and white-tee look with huge jewelry. This is what I mean by blowing chunks, chunky makes everything looks great and is so easy to pull off! Here are a couple of my favorite designers who really know...

Diamond (Rings) are a Girls Best Friend
Nothing thrills me more than finding a track that I can listen to incessantly until I can’t even bear it anymore. What’s even more thrilling? Finding a whole album that I can listen to non-stop, knowing that every song is going to be worth my while. I thought I struck gold when I came across Diamond Rings track, Something Else, but really I hadn’t even hit the surface.
