Star Bright

J Crew Jeans, Equipment Top, Zara Sandals, Karen Walker Sunglasses, Vintage Chanel, Zara Coat. Bracelets: Gorjana Cross, Hermes. Aqua (Bloomingdales) Necklace. Nails: Essie "Pretty Edgy" 
I've been on the hunt for some great music that I might be missing out on. Does anyone have any "must listen to" recommendations? I typically love all types of music, but don't normally gravitate towards things that depress/upset me (except Adele, of course). Right now I have some of my all time favorites on repeat:
1. Sheryl Crow: Tuesday Night Music Club
2. Alanis Morissette: Jagged Little Pill
3. No Doubt: Tragic Kingdom
4. Jay Z: The Blue Print 
5. Johnny Cash: I Walk The Line
6. Sia: We Are Born (and I still cannot listen to "Breathe Me" without wanting to cry b/c of the Six Feet Under finale)
7. Notorious BIG: Life After Death
8. Also, like everyone else, loving Gotye.
...and when I'm getting ready to go out or just want to dance in my seat, I'm still loving Rihannas Cake although it's a bit over played lately. (warning: linked to the um..NON radio version).

  11. I've been feeling like all things new aren't cutting it so I went back to one of my favorite albums, The Roots: How I got over. Great music! And I must agree Sia: Breathe Me, has Six Feet Under written all over it. Love that song and that show was AWESOME! BTW, you have a great blog and sense of style! :) -Leonor

  13. I'm not sure if it's your style, but Nicki Minaj has a new album out, Pink Friday Roman Reloaded. It's a weird album, but the second half is all pop/dance-y type stuff. I know some people have qualms with Nicki but this kind of shows a different side of her! Who knows, maybe you'll be into it. My favorite songs are Va Va Voom and Marilyn Monroe.
    And also this new Maroon 5 song with Wiz Khalifa is catchy, too. I've never been a huge fan of Maroon 5 but this song grew on me and now I'm obsessed.

  32. Check out the new Madonna album for dancy clubby popmusic, Rufus Wainwright for a cool, 70s style vibe, Tinie Tempah a British MC who does really cool stuff, Swedish House Mafia (especially Greyhound) for loads of energy, Mylos album "Destroy Rock & Roll" for the soundtrack to your summer, Michael Kiwanuka for Sunday lounge sounds, Cover Drive for a Rihanna pop vibe... And that´s all I can think of right now.

    Love the shirt by the way!

  49. Loving the black basic Zara sandals! I just picked up the taupe and orange pair today. As for music, I'm in the same boat with you about Sia's "Breathe Me." I'm a huge Six Feet Under fan and it's a beautiful song. My husband and I actually used it for our first dance at our wedding!

  55. Love the color of the jeans! I have a similar pair, but mine aren't so bright. Really liked how you paired them with the starry shirt.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Girl, you can do no wrong, I'm seriously in love with every single outfit you put together! I love this! And I lovvve that Alanis & No Doubt made your music playlist - they are two life long favorites of mine! As for other recs, I have been obsessed with Robyn's latest album for the past year now - it just does not get old for me! Hiphop-wise I'm also loving the Rizzle Kicks (try "Down with the trumpets" or "Stop with the chatter") and I'm loving Florence & The Machine, too!

    ReplyDelete
  57. That top is amazing! Right now I'm loving Lana Del Rey's "Radio" and "Born to Die", but for something more uplifting, Maroon 5's "Payphone" and Grouplove's "Tongue Tied" are some of my all time favorites. :)

  61. That necklace is beautiful. I saw it in person in bloomies and its even more beautiful in person. I am really into maroon 5 now especially their new song pay phone.

    ReplyDelete
  62. I love listening to the Michael Franti and Spearhead Pandora station. It's basically a mix of that Jack Johnson, Bob Marley and some other small artist. It's feel good music. I don't like to listen to depressing music either.

    BTW-Love the outfit! Especially the necklace! :)

  80. I love your blog and check it out everyday for posts but I never leave a comment. But since you asked about music suggestions, I decided to today! Check out Grace Potter and The Nocturnals self titled album (best songs are Colors, Paris (Ooh La La), Only Love, and One Short Night - but you should get the whole album). Also check out Mat Kearney's Young Love Album. Also, The Temper Trap's songs Love Lost and Sweet Disposition are really good. :) -Aly
