You Are So Jealous

Not even going to tell you where I did it. Can I put it in my professional email signature?

Pretty Amazing

McCoy Tyner - Salvadore De Samba

My dad is quite eclectic when it comes to music, one of his favorite genres of music is latin jazz. I've grown up hearing sounds like this throughout the house and I've come to know most of them, but my dad was playing this last weekend as we were all doing a bit of gardening and I had never heard this song before. As the title states it is pretty amazing!

Hola chica bonitas! Last week when the sun started to tease and tantalize us with it's rays, I wore this crop lace top over my mint green shirt. I really liked how it looked so I took a picture.

So right now I am Fashion cupboard assistant at Easy Living Mag, I haven't done fashion for a while but i'm really enjoying myself and being surrounded by so many sexy products is helping to rekindle my love for shopping. The team is really lovely and it's such a laid back atmosphere... well, not laid back when we're up to our hairlines in returns, however i'll be bummed when I have to leave! To explain the supercalifraglistic glasses and necklace: Sometimes some really cool products come in and a mini fashion show takes place, I won't say the brands in case I somehow get in trouble but to give a hint I was channeling kanyeeezy

Also i've been asked to be the Online and Social Media editor of another mag i've been working with! Unfortunately there isn't a budget but i'm pretty happy to be recognized and asked! Overall I've been having such a great time since the year started and i'm feeling pretty grateful!!

Harmonica, harmonica, harmonica, gurrrrl

THE DOOR BY AVA DuVERNAY

Uploaded by MIU MIU yesterday as a part of their series of films ‘Women’s Tale’s’,  this one stars Gabrielle Union and tells a touching story of heartbreak and friendship without any dialogue.

I really really liked it and of course all the clothes are by Miu Miu. Miuccia is a bust it baby of mine and I liked seeing what outfit would be put together in each scene.

 Beautifully shot and great soundtrack, watch!

hol' up, hol' up, hol' up, hol' up

WAIT.

These shoes hit me where it hurts, I want to caress them and walk around in them all day in a fancy dressing gown. The tackyness of the gold and clear strap just makes me so happy.

I am

A bit of a music snob, i'm usually of the opinion that if it's in the charts, I don't want to hear it. If it's on the radio? I doubly do NOT care.

Sometimes, and I hate to say it, but I sometimes wonder if i'm turning into one of those "I liked them BEFORE they..." kind of people. Why am I lying? I am pretty much already one of those people look...

I CAN'T HELP IT THAT I'M SO COOL AND KNOW ABOUT EVERYTHING COOL BEFORE EVERYONE ELSE DOES, DO YOU KNOW WHAT TREND RESEARCHERS CALL ME? A TASTE MAKER. THAT'S RIGHT. REVEL IN MY UNIQUENESS.

I had to get that off my chest.

But as I get older I realise that, that side of my personality is so unattractive. It also prevents me from enjoying a LOT of things because i'm too busy analysing it. I've consciously tried to stop doing it recently, because I had the revelation that, even though I may not enjoy everything that is happening pop culture wise, it is still happening in my time. I don't want to miss out on my time because i'm too busy looking down on everything.

So the point: I usually do not listen to the radio because of reasons I've already explained but if i'm only listening to my iPod -that I haven't properly updated in about 5 years- chances are that amongst the shiet, i'm actually missing out on things I like. Just like this song by Deadmau5, a song that i've recently heard because the office i'm in at the moment plays BBC radio 1:

I really really, really. REALLY. Like this song. Deadmau5 is actually one of the artists I used to kind of despise because I thought he was a try hard "what do you know about dubstep".

Also, and this is the one that surprised me. I realised that I actually like a One direction song. GRANTED, RADIO 1 PLAYS IT AT LEAST 3 TIMES A DAY, SO ITS PROBABLY A SLIGHT CASE OF MIND PROGRAMMING HERE. But regardless of whether its the illuminati playing with my brain or not, I'm still really excited whenever this song comes on:




This week my 14 year old twin sisters ridiculed me when they heard me singing this song ("THAT SONG'S SO OLD"), that's going to be an inevitable side effect of opening my arms wide to the world and receiving everything I've missed. I'm going to have to deal with a lot of 'old me' behavior from everyone else.

I guess that's my punishment for being a mainstream hating lady pants.
