Weekend Inspiration

Sooo with Chicago's severe winter bound to set in any week now, I'm thinking of channeling a somewhat more laid back look for my weekends.  T's, jackets, jeans, and sneakers are all solid options for once the snow starts falling- easy to bundle up in, don't you agree?

Truth be told, I'm always on a t-shirt kick, but right now I am not always finding what I like... might be time for me to throw my hat in the arena and see what I can come up with!  Boys always get the best t-shirt designs- no fair!

Fader

Always love this song! I'm in such a happy-go-lucky mood today and who doesn't love a little sing-a-long when they're feeling fantastic?



Much love my friends! Hope the end of this year is spent with good friends, lounging, and of course lots and lots of sparkles come NYE!

LOVING these pieces by Stephanie Hirsch... now how to procure one [insert plotting fingers].

Dreamer

Olive and Fashion sent me this video and I'm pretty sure it is the same guy I have posted a previous dubstep dancing video about.  It's not as long as the last video, but still amazing nonetheless!



Happy Friday!!!

Loving this song!

Talk that Talk

Talking is great, ideas are great, and I'm declaring 2012 the year of walking the walk!  Too often people let year after year slip by without taking on what they are truly passionate about, and with the 1-year anniversary of Headphones and Hemlines coming up, I've got big plans- and I'm ready to put them into action!  So as 2011 is coming to a close, I challenge you to ask yourself during this last week- what have you been daydreaming about? What lights up your eyes when you talk about it? What stimulates your mind?  If you can answer these questions and you are walking that walk everyday- KUDOS! If you can answer these questions and are not- get after it in 2012!  If you can't answer- time to reflect and find your calling!

If you're like me and think you're getting dangerously close to finding yours (in a good way), lets take on 2012 with more drive and passion than ever before and make our dreams come true together!

Get ready 2012- I'm coming for you!

Rose of Jericho

Some pretty pics and music to help me get through this morning...  Company holiday party was last night and I am mildly horrified by how much I ate at Carnivale.  Gucamoles, ceviches, beef, platains, beef, truffle, beef, massive Peruvian corn... I think you get the picture.  It was delicious, but definitely time to hop on the elliptical tonight!

Happy Hump Day my friends!

Life isn’t a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, latte in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming ‘Woohoo WHAT A RIDE’!

Helena Beat

I'm obsessed with Foster the People's "Helena Beat"- makes me want to have a dance party.  Sadly, even a great upbeat tune like this one cannot even save me from the exhaustion I feel after the trip to NYC mixed with holiday parties and being on the brink of being sick.  Looking forward to some R&R after work- I anticipate sleeping prettttty hard tonight.

Tales from my trip to NYC to come... once I am feeling a bit better.



Have a wonderful start to the week of Christmas!

Pop Culture Dance Video

So I know I posted Madeon's "Pop Culture" mix awhile back, but I just was introduced to this dancing video to the song and it just made me so happy I had to share:



Today has been an absolute delight working from the NYC office! Time has flown and I've been able to look out my window at the Empire State building all day.  I am definitely looking forward to getting dolled up tonight, heading to Zac Posen's holiday party (beyond excited), and taking on this city in good company. 

I hope your Thursday is full of adventure!

Bright Lights

"Bright lights, big city going to my head" - I can barely concentrate today as I am leaving for a last minute trip to NYC tonight!  A good friend of mine was kind enough to invite me to join him to a fashion designer's holiday party tomorrow night in the Big Apple, and I cannot wait!  The outfit debate has me a bit perturbed, but rest assured that I have a number of outfits in my carry-on and will make it work!

"Makes me want to kick a Congressman"

What song could possibly have induced the following comment by a listener you ask?:

"Sooooo good. Makes me want to kick a congressman. And then dance."

Why this happy tune "Dont F*ck with my Money" by Penguin Prison!

Don't Fuck With My Money by Penguin Prison

Have a splendid weekend everyone! Try not to spend too much money... I know I'm trying not to!

In the Way

So it's really upsetting me that Penguin Prison's self-titled album is hard to find online- I am not looking for a free download, just links to share the tunes I love with you all!  Anyways- I was able to scrounge up a Sound Cloud link so enjoy!

"Grinding the Crack"

This is one of the craziest videos I've seen in awhile- but so incredible I couldn't NOT share:



Happy Sailing!

Feel Good Tuesday

Loving this uber pleasant Nautic remix of "Shrimps" by Homeboi.  Makes me want to get dolled up in some feel good threads (and what better feel good threads are there than fur during the winter!?!) and prance around this gorgeous city.

I'm headed to Slurping Turtle tonight and can't wait to check out the lobster corn dog, duck fat fried chicken, and ramen with pork shoulder! Of course other dishes may happen as well... I'm sure you know how ordering can get out of hand when everything sounds delish!  I'll try to report back with my findings.

Happy Tuesday my dears!

Maps

Happy Monday Kidlets!  The weekend was a long one for me, starting with Watch the Throne on Thursday (amaze by the way).  A friend sent me this awesome remix, and I am super excited to share!  This guy's vocals are pretty soothing and dreamy- I'm definitely a fan.

What do you think?

Want.

Nay, NEED. 2012 get here please!

Cry (Just a Little)

Soooo this song envokes the exact OPPOSITE of crying in my book.  It's been on repeat all afternoon and causing me to not be able to sit still in my work chair.  It's Thursday night so it's dance party time my dears!  I will be heading to the Watch the Throne concert tonight with some stellar last minute tix- can't wait!  I'll try to take some good pics and share.

Until then, crank up the volume and start your own office dance party:



Cheers my loves!
