happier.

i had the absolute pleasure and giddy delight of seeing the a fine frenzy show this week at the house of blues- and let me tell you, it was a dreamy, lovely time! i think most people who know me know that alison sudol is one of my heroes and inspirations. when i first saw her perform on television a few years ago i was in complete awe, and her one cell in the sea album has spoken to and resonated with me in an incredible way. it is without a doubt my favorite album of all time! i had wanted to see her live so bad, and sadly missed her when she was on tour with the fantastic sean lennon. so i wasn't going to let this chance pass me by! SO thrilled i didn't. and i'm not going to lie, i did find myself getting teary-eyed throughout her show. like i've said before, music is such an emotional thing, and watching someone you look up to perform in front of your eyes is always such a personal, beautiful experience. i love how wonderfully genuine and carefree alison is - she is so true to herself and is so down to earth. she really is a beautiful and very dear heart. i enjoyed the show so much! new songs, old songs, christmas songs, unreleased songs, and cover songs (she does a totally rad rendition of heart of glass by blondie!) were performed, i enjoyed every single minute. among the oak & ash (amazing folk-y bluegrass band! &they're better live than recorded, which is a feat) and landon pigg opened for her and they were incredible! i wish i could share some videos/photos i took, but my little point and shoot is on the fritz and as of right now will not let me upload them! so bummed.

and ladies... let me tell you something. if you need a good leg workout... stand in heels for hours at a concert. i did from 6 until around 11ish at night. i don't know what i was thinking, i knew it was standing only. i am dumb. but when a cute pair of heeled booties are staring you in the face crying, "i'm pretty, and would go perfectly with that dress/tights combination. wearrrr meeeee"... you can't just ignore that!

what are some amazing concerts you've been to?

remember me.

so, call me silly... but i am SO beyond excited and very curious to see this.
mostly because i can't wait to see rob pattinson play something else.
i have to say... judging from this trailer, i think he has enormous potential to be a fantastic actor!
eeek! so thrilled :)

attention.

so sorry for the lack of posts this week! i decided to take a bit of a break.
but there are updates coming tomorrow, promise.
posts about movies, concerts, music, and more - stay tuned!

i wanted to take a second to mention something: it was brought to my attention that my google ads would sometimes show advertisements that were offensive. i had no idea! i am SO sorry if anyone was offended or hurt by these ads - i truly did not know google was doing this. i want this little blog to be happy and enjoyable, and i want all of you to keep reading - whoever you may be! i have decided to stop using google ads, because this is just NOT in any way okay, and i will not have such hurtful & offensive things on my blog. thank you to those who let me know, and again... my sincere apologies. thank you all for reading!

i'm not a huge fan of lookbook, i find it boring and it doesn't have much to offer.
then i found stylecaster. amazing! a billion times better.
it features inspiration boards, virtual closets, articles featuring anything from
alexa chung to costco selling couture (yeah, seriously),
as well as interviews, videos, and style picks from fashionistas,
makeup artists, and stylists. it's so fun! here's my stylecast.
(plus, their site will be completely redone in december - it will be even better!)

+ make sure you check out my previous post.
the civil wars are incredibly talented and need all the support they can get right now!
they deserve it. more music posts to come. :)

have a lovely weekend. xoxo.
