you're not a clock, you're a TIME BOMB baby

"i'm gonna sleep with the next person i meet"

The Format - Time Bomb
so this song currently is my anthem, but the band is indie pop at its best. Dog Problems is the new album, and a lot of people love the song the album is name for. I am less convinced by it, but there are many hidden gems in these boys repatiore. Time Bomb is not only catchy but has a great message (oh gosh i can't believe i just pulled out that card, but its true) and i can relate. the lyrics are witty and humorous. She Doesn't Get It is hilarious and clever. You can't help sing along to these boys and dance to the beat up&down. I heart On the Porch too. dig around the Format's myspace and stuff, you'll find some lovely musik too.

all the girls pose the same for pictures
all the boys gots the same girl's hair
can i take you home? i know it's wrong
but i know your type

BONDE DO ROLE!

Bonde do Role - Funk da Esfiha
their actual musik videos are really low budget (and sorta cheesy for that matter, not to knock em but its true), and i thought this great vid from SXSW was genuine bonde do role cause it shows them as a LIVE MUSIK experience. they are such an amazing live band, and i think this vid sums it up. I saw these guys open for the Klaxons in bklyn, and they kick soo much @$$. I was jumping up and down, despite being wedged between the front speakers. marina the lead singer is so stellar musically & fashionable and well...totally nuts! crazy brazilians singing in portuguese, very rock/hip hop fusion (there is a rapper Gorky with the strangest voice haha), high enery and ALWAYS tons of fun. Marina Gasolina is high energy tune that is constantly on repeat on my iPod. Their new album With Lasers is quality, and on sale on iTunes. hit it up

It was dirty, a dream came true..

i loved my english romance....

The Teenagers - Homecoming
this little diddy is naughty and silly. perfect explanation of the male take on vacation flings and the female romanticizes version hehe. i love the fashion and cute frenchlooks of the boys and girls in the video. also when have you ever known me to turn down lyrics like this:
he was wearing wearing skinny jeans
had funky hair
and the cutest british accent ever
straight away i could tell he was ROCKER!
from his sexy attitude and the way he looked at me
hmm he is totally awesome
oh my god i think i am in love

ain't that always the way...

'tis the season

As modernity has made the union of marriage a very controversial subject, my mind plays tricks on me when the spring/summer months still make me think of brides and weddings. sadly, i have only attended one wedding and it was very simple (as it was the bride's second). also as a young woman who is unsure if she even wants to give someone "forever" and then, if i'll even legally bind it because marriage is not yet an equal right merely a religious constrant for closeminded heterosexuals. when many loving couples can't seal their love by law and zillions of ridiculous couples run through marriages like toliet paper, i wonder about the traditions of weddings. thus the extravagant trains and ornate dresses, romantic locales and whimsical ceremonies may become, dare i say it, obsolete. so therefore i am extremely torn when i see these grand gowns that flutter down the runway last as our couturiers reveal their bridal looks. i saw this and couldn't help but share it. they may one day dissapear forever.

the flouncy skirt, and avante garde, slightly daring neckline is unexpected. the spontaneous random loops of the simple but large veil is delicious. i would be a vivienne westwood bride anyday. wouldn't you?

Printed Perfection

after all my ranting about prints in contrast to bold solid colours

snippets of Eley Kishimoto's fall show
vintage-y, graphic, 70s prints in great moden cuts
why has springcome & gone so quickly? i do love the mix of fall and summer in that which is spring.
flowy, sleeveless, shorter, less layers in those deeper shades mixed with pale

Summer please arrive officially....

no more of this wishy washy shit. i want sun and fun soon. i know its not actually summer yet, and spring has been bleak behind the sporadic (albeit heavy) rainstorms. but i prefer when the sun peaks out from the sky and shines on me, and i take that moment to stop, feel the breeze and breathe.
and in support of my cause, i will show my fav shape for graphic coloured sundresses. i don't know the technical term, but i want to say they are empire waisted reverse racerback tank dresses. theses colours are delicious, but couldn't you see the shape is a whimsical print? can't wait until the may flowers start to bloom tomorrow...

ROCKSTAR Boyfriend

"promise me nooooo waterworks....."

About- Think Niles Drink
the debut album is called Bongo. the boys are from Amsterdam. they were HUGE at southXsouthwest. they are on tour with the Fratellis&30 seconds to mars. *seriously how can you resist a show now?* they birth every note of every song lovingly through their precious computers. the product is not only highly danceable but the lyrics are contempletive & thoughtful. can't say that for much electronic musik out there can you? enjoy!

p.s. their site http://www.whataboutabout.com, how cute is that!

grace slick

since the percipitation crept outta the past few days of sun saturated skies in manhattan, i was tricked into thoughts about raincoats. honestly, they are usually ugly and plaid lined, masculine cut trenches. *except when i was 5, and i had the most adorable pink slicker ever* BUT then i saw this beauty...
all my preconceived notions about proper and available rain attire went out the window. the modernity. the large collar, the tulip skirt, the winged sleeves. equates the ideal jacket for weather that is not so ideal.

since, i am dreaming of a gorg coat i sadly may never own, i may as well add in the dream outfit additions to complete the apparition. first and foremost, a totally glam, completely impractical navy*midnight waist-cinched westwood frock to flash from underneath the trench

a marc jacobs sleak, sturdy and practical tote to hold my junk (and since its slightly patent the water will just roll off)

and i'll throw in these totally weather inappropriate ribbony (i know its not a word, but maybe it should be) delightful stilettoes to take my rainy day look OVER THE TOP!

you've got lips i could spent a day with...

this song has been playing on repeat in my head all day long, thought i'd share- so now it can play over & over in yours tomorrow

amy millan- skinny boy
the frontwoman of Stars, the fab canadian indie band, has a solo album.
i am in love.
this song is about the lonely side of love, with a focus on a slender male, it was written about every man i have ever been attracted to. *sigh*
her lyrics are fresh, honest and sweet as cotton candy. add her voices melancholy undertones of loneliness and unrequited love and you have these unique & lovely tunes. check this lady out, she is one to watch.

always art inspired

feeling very artsy and aching for visual stimulation, my outfit of the day
is dreamlike and colorful, drawing from modern grafitti and linear primary art, victorian delicacy and ancient asian influences...
enjoy ms. westwood's delicate dress with pop cape

in hand, this c.dior whimsical mandarin-esque quite lady like bag is delectable

and to top off the outfit, well actually bottom off, mondrian-inspires plats
they are genius!
