Fashion Friday: Of Monsters and Men Edition

I am in love with the band Of Monsters and Men, and think you should be as well.

 I was inspired this week by the artwork of their newest album My Head is an Animal, because of the beautiful sea, and the dreamy colours!

So give a look, and give a listen!

Music Monday: New Album

Ah it's been 24ish hours and I still haven't downloaded this cd.
Sorry about yet again another late post.



I have loved The Shins for years and am glad to hear James Mercer still creating great music!
Enjoy!

Music Monday: I Don't Know What's With Me

I don't know how I keep forgetting Music Monday! I guess with starting something new comes working out the kinks. I guess I'll have to learn to remember. I sincerely apologize! Here are some songs that fit my crazy/forgetful/confused mind!

1. Where Is My Mind? (Pixies cover) - Emmy the Great


2. Crazy (Yes another cover - Gnarls Barkley cover) - Ray Lamontange


3. Don't You (Forget About Me) - Simple Minds


4. Forget Me Not - The Civil Wars


5. I'll Never Forget You - Birdy


A promise I can't make, but I'll try to post on Monday next week, enjoy.

Music Monday: Covers

Here are 5 amazing covers. (I am aware it's Tuesday, sorry!)
1. Kina Grannis - Pumped Up Kicks (Foster The People)


2. First Aid Kit - Tiger Mountain Peasant Song (Fleet Foxes Cover)


3. Jeff Pianki ft. Kiersten Holine - Train Song (Vashti Bunyan Cover)


4. Jayme Dee - We Found Love (Rihanna Cover)


5. Kimbra - Two Weeks/Head Over Heels (Grizzly Bear/Tears For Fears Cover)

Music Monday: Girl Power

I remember in 6th grade saying I didn't like female singers and that I preferred, well pretty much anything Shae put on mix CDs. But man how I have changed my mind since. This is a list of 5 songs by female artists that changed my world.

1. Ella Fitzgerald - "The Lady is a Tramp"
Her beautiful jazz voice, her 13 Grammys, she really is "The First Lady of Song".
2. Lilly Allen - "Smile"
Her clever lyrics and beautiful accent sure make me smile.
3. Zooey Deschanel (She&Him) - "Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?"
When I heard her sing in Elf I knew if she released an album I'd buy it. With 3 She&Him CDs in my library, I'm a happy camper.
4. Joss Stone - "I Put a Spell on You"
She's got a powerful voice that sings to my soul.

5. Florence Welch (Florence and the Machine) - "Drumming Song"
If you haven't seen a pattern, I'm a fan of powerful voices (at least when it comes to girl power) and Miss Welch is just that: Powerful.

Blogging is a funny thing. Honestly for a long time the word blog for me was synonymous with the word nerd. However now I am somewhat of a blog addict and if that means I am in turn nerdy then that is just fine with me. Because some of my daily reads like A Cup of Jo and Design*Sponge (along with countless others) can truly bring inspiration to an otherwise hum-drum, inspiration-less day. So here I am along with my creative and clever sisters blogging about art, crafts, fashion, music, adventures and anything else that catches our eyes or our ears.

And here we are...

And here is the song that inspired our blog name by an artist that is often a soundtrack to our lives, Ben Folds...
