Best of 2013: Music

Music has always been a passion of mine and I genuinely enjoy all kinds of music (except like heavy metal scream...I'll never understand that). I'm constantly looking for new music/artists/bands and I've definitely come across some amazing artists this year. Here are 5 of my favorite songs from this year, take a listen if you haven't heard before and let me know what you think! 

1. After performing at my school's homecoming concert, I'm BEYOND obsessed with Hoodie Allen. Beyond. His music is fun, catchy, and the acoustic versions are heart melting. I'm also a big fan of him personally, he seems like he's down to earth and very grateful for all his fans. He tweets links to download his music for free too, which I think is amazing. It was hard for me to pick a favorite song but I think this is the one that could convert anyone into a Hoodie fan. 


2. I've been a Summer Set fan for a long time now and I was lucky enough to see them in concert on Halloween this year! I absolutely died when I met the lead singer, Brian, after the show. He's adorable and has the voice of an angel. I can never get this song stuck out of my head so beware - very addicting. 


3. Here's another artist that I was lucky enough to see in concert and meet this year! He's a friend of a friend in Nashville so my roommate and I got to hang with Jon and the band on their tour bus before the show, so cool! So excited his new album is coming out on January 14th (also my birthday!). He's more well known for his single Up All Night but I like this one better. 


4. I've recently discovered Lana and I worship her now. She's sassy and her songs are almost hypnotic, I'm just obsessed. This one's my favorite, although this entire album is perfection. 


5. I don't care what anyone says, I have loved and will always love Blurred Lines. Some lyrics are meant to be taken literally and some aren't. It's simply a fun song and critics went overboard analyzing it. Okay, rant over. How can you not enjoy the three hotties singing it either? Just makes me want to dance! Give It 2 U is also pure gold. #THICKE 


Honorable mentions: 
  • 23 - Mike Will Made-It (feat. Miley, Wiz, Juicy J)
  • This is How We Roll - Florida Georgia Line (feat. Luke Bryan)
  • Swoon - Timeflies
  • Best Day Ever - One Direction 
  • I Love It - Icona Pop 


Anyone else a fan of these songs or artists? If not, I hope you are now!

Crazy for chambray

Hey loves!

Hope everyone had a great new year and happy holidays! I know I'm excited for 2013, most especially because I'll be turning 21 on Monday! Woo! Haha anyways...my mom and I usually do a weekend shopping trip for my birthday but this year we decided to do a fun little day trip down to Milwaukee. We discovered a HUGE Anthropologie store, which I'm so in love with it's insane. Seriously if I could live in that store, I totally would. It was here where I found the most amazing chambray shirt ever. For quite a while now, I've been wanting one because it's a quintessential piece in every prep's wardrobe. However, finding the perfect chambray shirt has not been the easiest task. Most that I've tried on have not looked very attractive on me, I don't know what it is but they're too stiff and just don't fit in the right places. I look like I'm wearing a men's shirt, it's been a very depressing hunt for one of these haha BUT the Cloth and Stone shirt I found at Anthropologie was sheer perfection. For one, it's chambray with polka dots, I couldn't dream up a better combination. And second, the material is so soft and a lot more relaxed than normal chambray shirts so it looked great on! Here's a pic, I love that the polka dots are smaller and a little more subtle as compared to the Gap one below that I tried on last week. Excuse my poor photography skills but this shirt isn't on the Anthro website.



Don't get me wrong, I'm obsessed with this Gap chambray shirt. I would've bought it if I didn't look so terrible in it but there's something about the more subdued polka dots that I like so much more. Another random note, Gap has some amazing spring clothes out right now so if you haven't been in there for a while go check it out! There are these amazing navy ankle pants with little anchors all over them that I'm in love with. Needless to say, I'm beyond excited to wear my new chambray shirt, especially with all my colored and white jeans in the summer! Other quality purchases from the shopping trip were from Lululemon and J. Crew! I'm thrilled about the hot pink toothpick jeans I got from J. Crew for $16! So insane!

Also, what did everyone get from the Lilly sale?! This is the dress I got :)


SO glad to be blogging again, happy shopping ladies!
