Drowners - A Button On Your Blouse



It wasn't too difficult finding this tune on Pitchfork (it was on the front page). I didn't actually read half of the review on the website, but I do know that I sure do like this song. Like the review says, you can definitely tell the Is This It/Whatever People Say, That's What I'm Not influences-- not a bad thing at all. I haven't actually listened to the whole album yet but I probably should if I want to find out why they got a 5.8 rating. But regardless, this song is rad.

Elie Saab Spring 2014 Couture

Am I the only one that can't contain myself when I see a new Elie Saab collection? Style.com describes these dresses as "goddess gowns." I strongly agree. The collection is filled with Saab's signature embroideries and appliqués, empire waists, and other drool-inducing things. Let's be real, Elie Saab can do no wrong. I couldn't help but make a collage of my favorite pieces from the collection.

What's in the Bag


1. Look at the Birdie by Kurt Vonnegut
     A book of unpublished short stories by Vonnegut. I haven't gotten very far yet, but the first few stories are great at least. Especially the one about the creepy robot that whispers in your ear.
2. Lined Moleskine
     This is a pretty little Moleskine illustrated by Mattias Adolfsson. If you haven't tried Googling the name, I suggest you do it. Pretty amazing stuff that'll bring out the fangirl in you.
3. Harper's Bazaar (Nov. 2013)
     I've been into fashion collage making lately. I was lucky enough to find this issue of Harper's Bazaar in the free magazine bin outside of the library. There are some glorious things in this issue, among them some cool 50's inspired outfits and a section highlighting daring women in the industry.
4. Smash Book
     Perfect for any sentimental but lazy scrapbooker. It comes with a nice marker and good looking pages. 
5. Beyoncé Official 2014 Calendar
     Knowing my love for Beyoncé, one of my friends got me a calendar of her. Little did she know that most of the pictures are revealing ones. But it's okay.
6. Slicci 0.025 Ink Pen
     Best pen ever. Highly recommended. 
7. Herbal Essences Scrunching Gel
     Did you know that hair gel can make your eyebrows look thicker?
8. Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand
     Recommended to me by a friend sometime last year. To be honest, I have yet to crack it open. But I'm excited.
