a little of this, a little of that

i think i fell into a time warp.  therefore, it is not my fault that two weeks ago i told you'd i'd be back with more blogs during the week.  let's face it.  these are going to be sporadic at best.  there's a child coming.  the blog is going to have to take a back seat.

however, here are some things i'm digging right now.

5 - both of us - b.o.b. featuring taylor swift
i've been waiting to post this for awhile, and the video just came out.  so, here it is.

Get More: B.o.B, Both Of Us featuring Taylor Swift, Music, More Music Videos

4 - nick offerman reads tweets from teenage female celebrities.
enough said.  also, it came from conan.



3 - "why women still can't have it all"
this article from the atlantic magazine reopened the debate on gender issues and says it's okay to compromise.

2 - our america with lisa ling

i am obsessed.  it took me a little while to get on board bc we didn't have own in hd, but now that we do, this is one of my favorite shows.

here's the first five minutes of last night's episode "teen mom nation"

Teen Mom Nation: A Cycle of Teen


1 - baby sam!

see, you thought i wasn't going to mention that as one of my current obsessions.  you're crazy.  we're just about a month from having a little one, and the room is mostly ready, and we have a name...so i'll post more updates about all of that very soon.

i hope that this list was varied enough for you.  what are you currently digging?  anything i should know about or post?  until next time, cheers!

...and i'm back!

i know you miss me when i'm gone, but there was much work to be done, so the blog had to take a break.

so happy to be back on a music monday though, so let's get right to it~

5 - extreme - more than words
what a great throwback jam--don't act like you don't sing along every single time you hear it!


4 - creep - radiohead cover by carrie manolakos
i love when people send me good music, and this cover was sent over by a facebook friend today - perfect timing!


3 - atlas genius - trojans
this is the version live from siriusxm, but i like both versions.


2 - grouplove - itchin on a photograph i think i've posted every video grouplove has released. if you don't get it yet, i'm into this band.



1 - of monsters and men - little talks
it is very possible that i've posted this already bc i've been into this song for a couple of months, but i think i might've missed posting it in my absence, so here it is anyway.




Well, you should be hearing from me more throughout the week and the summer!  Get excited!

Cheers!

bold is SO beautiful

i love jewelry.  actually, i like to call it baubles.  so, i love baubles.

spring/summer baubles are the most fun because they can punch up the plainest of outfits.

for fall/winter, i'm all about sweaters and boots, but there's not a whole lot that's better than color.  cheers!

Monday is for Music!

coachella was this past weekend, but i'm sure you know that because EVERYONE was tweeting about it.

i'm not bringing you live performances from coachella though or any tupac holograms.  that's kind of done now. 

here's this week's music (sorry if i sound uninspired---not so much that is new and great).  feel free to leave suggestions for next week!

5 - the kooks - how'd you like that

The Kooks - How'd You Like That - How'd You Like That - Free Music Videos

4 - carly rae jepsen - call me maybe

warning:  this one is so poppy, but it could be fun girls night music or riding in the car alone music.




3 - norah jones - happy pills

you don't like norah jones?  get out of my life.  also, there's murder, so that's fun.




2 - haley reinhart - free

you like smoky, sultry voices like norah jones?  try this american idol finalist.





1 - the wombats - jump into the fog

this is a fun song that's good for singing along on the radio.  i probably like it more than the rest posted this week.



vh1 has a good music video section with "fresh new music."  don't worry.  they play pretty much none of these on tv, but it was good for some inspirado when music monday came around and i was uninspired--successfully reminded me of songs and artists that i like, so there.

enjoy this week's installment and let me know what you want to see featured next!

cheers!

big day - and men's fashion don'ts!

so, it's a big day in our household - we're getting ready to go to our first braves game of the season!!!

go braves!  let's hope they win!



in related news, men's fashion is on full display at any sporting event, and there are some fashion don'ts that i feel the need to help the less-fashionable gender figure out.

5 - no cell phones on your hip or ear.

oh, i'm sorry--you can't walk without your cell strapped to your hip or your bluetooth device in your ear?  get your life right.  you look like a fool.  keep it in your pocket.  on vibrate.  we don't want to hear your ringtones either.





everybody makes mistakes.

4 - CARGO SHORTS

yes, i capitalized that on purpose.  you don't need all that pocket space.  you're not doing that much work.  wear real shorts.



3 - hemp and or sharks tooth style necklaces.


if i have to elaborate on this one, we're gonna have a problem

2 - jerseys

okay at the sporting event, but don't wear them anywhere else.  you will look stupid.



1 - too much of anything -

too much jewelry



just stop.

too much hair product




it's not good.

too much of anything looks silly.

oh well, i'm off to get ready for the game.  anymore suggestions for fashion don'ts for guys?  leave them in the comments.

cheers!

a little of this, a little of that...

so, last week you only got music.  my bad.  it wasn't even a lot of music.

i will promise you'll get a bit more than that this week (just in this post), but i can't guarantee much more than that.

first - some music - i'm not going to give you several, but i will give you this.

mayer hawthorne - the walk

second - fashion (or kind of)

so, if you're my friend on facebook, you saw me post about the bustier/bralette trend on the rise.  i'm just not so sure about this.  i understand that they're trying to modernize it and fashion it up, but still this...






mostly reminds me of this...





and even a little of this...



think about it!

i'll be back with more soon--i promise!
cheers!

Here's a quickie...

Obviously, I'm behind this week.  Here's a quickie.  I'll be back with more soon.



Cheers!
