Happy Monday! I apologize for my absence recently, but between finishing finals and moving it's been a hectic few weeks. This Monday I am brushing up on my Tom Petty in preparation for Hangout Festival in Gulf Shores, Alabama. I am so excited to go later this week because it will be my first large music festival and a much needed week vacation with a special guy. I have already made a playlist for the ride consisting of only the band playing at the festival. I can't be the only one who likes to sing-a-long to every single song at a concert, right? Looking forward to sharing with you all pictures from our trip and my festival style. Let me know if I will be seeing you at Hangout!
Hello Pinheads, I know it's already mid-week and Music Monday has been on a sever delay, but I promise it was a little out of my control. You see, I had been soaking up all of the love I could since Sunday evening and fell into a love drunken stupor. My palms were clammy, my stomach was filled with a million butterflies that couldn't seem to find an escape, and my heart was racing a million miles an hour. A little bit of a back story, on Monday myself along with my phenomenal music loving boyfriend celebrated our 2 year anniversary! He rode in from South Florida on a stallion with his adorable lab and pitbull mix as a co-pilot, to spend a few days here with me. And now that he has left the building, literally, I have been shoved back into the reality of school and finals quickly approaching! But my heart and ears are still stuck on L-O-V-E as I bring you this weeks new music.
This song, 'Driven By Their Beating Hearts,' is a song that has been symbolic to my relationship for some time but as my boyfriend put it on yesterday I heard it in a completely different way. With all that has been going on lately in the news I find it so important to search for any sliver of love and light we can in our day. The lyrics reference that everyone is going out of their minds but the lead singer professes that he only wants to be with his true love. Take a listen and I hope your beating hart compels you to let all of the love you can into the universe each and every day!
I have always been really inspired by fashion photography and for me the funkier the better as it makes my mind swell with all of the possibilities out there. I usually find something I want to incorporate into my style, from hair to make up and even the color pallet. This set of photos comes from a mix of young Hong Kong- based fashion and portrait photographers who have infused visual art direction and contemporary Chinese aesthetics with bare, ethereal, urban splendor and theatrical fantasy.
