Girl Crush

This song just puts me in such a happy mood! Love Nicki Minaj!

Just Say Yes

You probably know Snow Patrol from the 2007 hit 'Chasing Cars'. I love them and this song, so you should probably listen and then try not to fall in love.

Wheel

Have you ever heard a song that stops you dead in your tracks and forces you to listen? This song is an old one, but I never tire of hearing it. And no matter what I do, I can never concentrate on anything else, but the lyrics.

Adele

If you haven't heard of Adele before you are lost in life. This girl is so talented and I'm in love with her music. Her first album 19 was great, but her newest release 21 is even better. Check out this track from 21. You. will. fall. in. love.

Rainy Day Guide

I didn’t realize this morning as I opened the door that I would experience monsoon like weather as I stepped outside. I was completely drenched before making it safely inside my car. Although sometimes rainy days can be my favorite, there is nothing fun about being cold and wet. I was soon over my unhappy cold and wet mood when I turned on the heat and saw a small break in the clouds, which displayed the bluest sky. On my long drive to work I started thinking of how I could have been better prepared to handle the weather this morning. So below is your rainy day guide. Have a ravishing weekend, lovies!



White Trench Coat



Theses Hunter Boots would look so wonderful against the white trench above.



I've always wanted a Clear Umbrella. I'm not sure why, but I think it would be fun to view the rain falling from underneath.



I love making rainy day playlists, but there is no need with this album handy. I recently discovered The Weepies, and even though they have many albums I believe this is my favorite. The catchy melodies will be stuck in your head all day, in a good way of course. Favorite tracks: Be My Honeypie & When You Go Away.

And last, but not least, you must have a warm beverage handy to keep you warm inside. Try this recipe by Paula Deen for a hot cranberry cider. YUM-O!

 

 

Bright Eyes

I just heard this song and I had to share. It's just so sweet; and the video is pretty cute too.

The Best Thing

Rainy days usually send many people into a lazy, sad mood which requires lots of sleep. I, on the other hand, l-o-v-e rainy days. Especially in the summer when I can actually enjoy the rain. Today was a rainy day, all day long, and I loved every bit of it. Ray LaMontagne is one of my go-to artists on days like today, and this song always put a smile on my face; in fact, it could probably go on the list of one of my all time favorite songs!

Tighten' Up

This artist recently caught my eye, thanks to a dear friend. Though they have been out quite a while, their soulful most recent album is much different than their rock past. This is one of my favorites.

Is This Love That I'm Feelin?

I know I've posted about Corinne Bailey Rae before, but she is seriously talented. Music is such a huge part of my life and I'm always finding new artists that I love and what a gem is CBR? Oh my goodness, all her songs just put me in such a great mood. Like a frolicking mood. The Love E.P. was just released on January 21 and I'm beyond obsessed with these cover songs. Check out the soulful rendition of Is This Love.

Paris Nights & New York Mornings

Corrine Bailey Rae is definitely one of my favorite artists. Her cool, smooth voice is so enticing and immediately draws you in to her lyrics. I am beyond in love with her new album, The Sea, with one of my favorite tracks being Paris Nights/New York Mornings. This track is so fun and makes me want to frolic (I like to frolic a lot, see here) through the city streets.  I sincerely suggest you check out the album, you too will fall in love.



I believe this would be a good frolicking dress.  This asymmetrical cream dress with frill trim and belted waist can be found at Asos.
