February Music Favourites

Hello everyone!

It's Tuesday, I'm finished with class, and it's pouring outside. The perfect time to relax and listen to some of my favourite artists.

I found a lot of new music this past month, but here are a couple of the songs that really stood out for me:

Say Something by A Great Big World ft. Christina Aguilera: This song is absolutely gorgeous. I kept hearing snippets of it on the radio, in restaurants, etc, and never knew what it was until I finally found it online. I love how you can really feel the emotion in the song.

I Won't Let You Go by Snow Patrol: You can really never go wrong with Snow Patrol. I continue to enjoy the new music they create! Such a lovely song.

Only Love by Ben Howard: This entire CD, really. I love Ben Howard's unique voice, interesting instrumentals, and gorgeous lyrics. A very talented artist, I would love to see him live.

There are some of the songs and artists I have been enjoying recently! Some other artists not pictured above are Andrew Belle, The Mowgli's, and Two Hours Traffic. If you are into alternative, up-beat music, do give them a listen!

What songs are you enjoying this month?

Rainy Sunday

Hi everyone! I hope you all had wonderful weeks.

It's Sunday, it's raining, and I'm nice and cozy listening to some indie music. It's really creating this excellent feeling in me.

The playlist I'm listening to, very aptly named "That Sunday Afternoon Feeling," is right here if you're curious. Truly lovely.

And here is my look for today:

Lipstick: RIMMEL Lasting Finish Liptick in "Just So." 

Eyeshadow: COVERGIRL Eyeshadow Quad in "Lionqueen."

Eyeliner: ALMAY Intense I-Color Liquid Liner

Eyebrows: ALMAY Brow Defining Pencil

Had some fun with button-up shirts today as well! Found at Old Navy

Good bye for now! May you all have lovely beginnings to your weeks.

July Favourites

A bit late, I know! I've been so busy! But here it is: July favourites.

Favourite Shoe Purchase:

American Eagle Javelin Oxford

I bought these beauties a little while ago, and I am in love. They are super comfortable, cute, and go with just about anything! They were $50, but I got them at a student discount for $45.

Favourite Clothing Purchase:

American Eagle Classic Rinse Skinny Jeans

I've been looking for a new pair of simple, classic skinny jeans for a while, and when I heard American Eagle was having a jeans sale, I jumped at the opportunity. I absolutely love American Eagle jeans - I think every pair I own is from that store! This pair is no exception; they fit exceptionally well, are comfortably stretchy, were only $30.

Favourite Music:

The Paper Kites Woodland EP

I bought this EP by The Paper Kites, and I am so glad I did. Their songs are soothing, clever, and just feel-good in general. If you're a fan of indie-acoustic, I would definitely recommend them. I bought the EP for $4.99 on iTunes.

Favourite Cosmetic:

Burberry Body Perfume

Does perfume count as a cosmetic? I'm going to say it does, because I am so excited about this perfume. I got a small sample of it and absolutely adore the scent - it's light, fresh, and makes me feel like running through a field of daisies. I am trying currently to get my hands on a full bottle.

Music is Magic

Albus Dumbledore was the one who said that. Brilliant man.

Anyway, I wasn't doing much and felt like writing a blog post... but I didn't know what OF! But then it occured to me - music. Why not write about music? So I'm going to give you my top five favourite songs of the week. I'm going to start by saying this was a very difficult thing to do... I have so many favourites!

Let's do this!

1. England by The National. Can you say epic?! Seriously. The harmonies in this one. Speaks to the soul. If you're curious, here it is.
2. I Was Wrong by The Oh Hello's. This song is really sad, but just so lovely. Here's a link.
3. Dread In My Heart by Mother Mother. Deceptively cheerful, it's actually kind of sad too! Very awesome song. I feel like I should also warn people about swearing, just in case you don't like that kind of thing. Here.
4. Gone by Tokyo Police Club. So cheerful! I absolutely love the guitar in the intro. LOVE IT. Here.
5. Rocks and Daggers by Noah & The Whale. Another happy one, just really sweet and pretty! Again, harmonies. Can't get enough of them harmonies. It's here.

So those are my favourites for the week! Man, that was difficult... there are still so many songs I would have liked to put there! It's like being asked your favourite book or movie. Impossible.

Have lovely weekends!
