Song of The Day: "Gone Away"

As of late, I've been listening, non-stop, to the music of "The Civil Wars". If you haven't had a listen...here's a link to their site. You will love I promise. In my opinion, not only are they a fantastic duo and wonderful cover artists,  but also potentially amazing collaborators.  I came across this video today, it's of Lucy Swartz (another great artist) who toured a bit with The Civil Wars. The harmonizing in this clip is...well... *sigh. ENJOY!

MUSIC LIST: April 2011

I was excited to learn that another of my favorite musical artists is coming to town this month Cary Brothers!!! I can't wait! Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!

 

Outfit Inspiration: Saddle Shoes

I kid you not, my mother had me in saddle shoes from the tender age of 2 all way thru elementary school. I used to look back at pictures and ask her why she made me wear them all the time...she just laughed. They weren't the only shoes I had, but they were a style she bought again and again.  I had them in Black and in Pink...*sigh. If only my mother had kept them. I disliked them for so long...then I came across these. A more grown up version and I am in love! My mother was a stylish one. I told her I should get them for nostalgic purposes. Of course, she told me to get them. I'm debating on whether I should...
