Everything is Just Better in the Fall

YES! I honestly love nothing more than AUTUMN and it's finally here! I mean, there's pumpkin flavored everything, crisp nights and cozy, earthy-toned apparel. How could you NOT love Fall? Running on my Fall-time high, I have revived one of the lamest fashion trends of the 90's. Yup, Turtlenecks. I have always poked fun of such a neckline in the spirit of it having TOO much coverage but I'm now eating my words..... This emerald Turtleneck Dress was purchased at Asos, the tights from KarmaLoop and the Booties were actually one of those RARE, amazing finds at Platos Closet. Finding those was like finding gold! I wear them almost too often so they mayyyyy be featured on here again. I wish you a very merry autumn, may it be filled with oversized scarves and pumpkin spice chai:)

< SamANTHEM > Owl Eyes - 'Closure' (Official Video)

 

Here we are again, it's FRIDAY! And that means it's finally the weekend annnnnd I know you were all just dying to see what song I was going to post about today;) Today's pick is a new addition to my music collection. I've chosen "Closure" by Owl Eyes. Australian-native, Brooke Addamo, took the world by storm with her unapologetically pop album this past Spring. This song definitely caught my attention and I'm not usually one for pop music but this one calls for an exception. Have a safe and magical weekend, my friends:)

< SamANTHEM > ODESZA - Say My Name (feat. Zyra) - Lyric Video

 

TGIF! Gosh, that acronym has never rang more true than this week. All I have to say is, if you're in school full time and are thinking you want to work full time as well, be prepared to talk yourself out of running away and dying because that's where I'm at right about now. I may have doused that last sentence with a large helping of drama but you catch my drift, right? Haha.

Well, in commemoration of Odesza's new album release last week, I have decided to give them a HUGE shout out. Seriously, this entire album just kills it and I highly recommend that you check it out. Say My Name feat. Zyra was recently featured in Almost Ablaze, a new ski movie by Teton Gravity Research, so I find it only appropriate to go with this track! Have a glorious weekend, lovelies♥

i hate fashion blogs

The title of this post caught you off guard, I know it did. Yes, it is true, I am the most hypocritical blogger there ever was. I am a fashion blogger who HATES fashion blogs. I find them a bit cheesy and there are sooooo many these days! Now you're wondering why on earth I would ever have one if I hate them so much. If you read my very first post, I mentioned that this blog is my dumping ground for all things creative that I love and there is nothing I love more than music and CLOTHES!
So bear with me here, as a hater of fashion blogs and all pictures taken of me, I'm baptizing myself with fire and composing this post with both of those very components. Gahhhhh here we go!
These pictures were taking by my sweet 14 year old little brother. He aspires to be an accomplished photographer one day and I'm beyond honored to be apart of helping him get there! My hat is from Bohme Boutique, jeans are from Gap, booties and blazer are from Forever 21 and my tank is from Penny's. Have a beautiful day, my friends!

< SamANTHEM > Dawn Golden - All I Want (Manila Killa Remix)

Hello lovely loves. Happy Friday:) This week's SamANTHEM is another stellar remix.... I am a such sucker for a good remix. Needless to say, I have been quite impressed with "Manila Killa", (I laugh while I type this because if I were to say his name out loud, I would sound like such a white girl). Annnnyways, he is a Philippians-born artist who has the rare ability to reconstruct a once mellow Indie track into a spectacular, mood boosting number. Relish in the magic this young artist has to offer on this fine Friday. Till next time....
