oh it's almost june. .

HA OH IT'S ALMOST JUNE HA - - Whoops! 
Yeah I'm probably the worst blogger in all of blogger history, I apologize. 

Life has been hectic with finishing up junior year, but it's summer and I hope to

post more regularly now. I know that I always say that, but hey maybe this time it'll stick.

A lot has happened since I last posted w-a-y back in March.

For example, I've attended a few concerts since then.

{ alt-j }

At this show I was blessed with the opportunity to finally meet my best friend.

We had started talking via twitter several ( like seven idk ) months before and to finally meet her in person was one of the most exciting opportunities I've had in my entire life. 

It was surreal. Meeting emk & seeing one of my all time favorite bands all in oNe night was wow mind blowing. I lov her & them so much, okay.

{ paramore }

This show was. . .outstanding to say the least.

Hayley Williams was a lil angelic spidermonkey frolicking across the stage the entire time. I don't know how she does it. This show just so happened to be their hometown show in Nashville and it just wow blew my mind.  It, without a doubt, rekindled my middle school love for Paramore. 

The amount of heart and talent in that band is unbelievable. 10/10 recommend. 

Some drunk guy photobombed us and that was probably the highlight of the night. 

+ das me on the left (cool)

Hayley's hair I cry

{ lord huron & leon bridges }

This was a show that my mom had actually wanted to go to, and she kindly invited me along. 

The show was great - leon bridges was wow

lord huron was wow

The atmosphere was v chill and super great.

The Ryman aka the venue of your dreams.

recent releases / music

1. SMOKE AND MIRRORS

OH. MY. GOSH.

Can we please talk about smoke and mirrors?!

I'm honestly completely obsessed with this entire album.

It's so different from their previous album(s), and I'm wow. .speechless.

Boys you have truly outdone yourselves this time.

[PS: GOING TO THEIR SHOW ON JULY 8TH]
LIFE IS GR8
v excited. v.

Speaking of Imagine Dragons, their cover of Blank Space is pretty amazing.

{ here's the link, enjoy yo'self }

F A V S   F R O M   S M O K E  &  M I R R O R S:

DREAM

SHOTS

POLAROID

I'M SO SORRY

SMOKE AND MIRRORS

and every other freakin song on the album oh my gosh

2. THIS IS ALL YOURS

Alt-J has been one of my favs since early 2013.

They hadn't released new music since 2012, so when they released 

This Is All Yours in July of 2014, I was ecstatic. 

If you haven't heard their music, I highly suggest you do so.

My all time fav song is : Breezeblocks

F A V S  F R O M  T H I S  I S  A L L  Y O U R S:

PUSHER

LEFT HAND FREE

EVERY OTHER FRECKLE

THE GOSPEL OF JOHN HURT

My mother is a saint and got me tickets to see them again in Apil 

and I cannot contain my excitement. I went to one of their shows two years ago and it

was absolutely amazing. The crowd they attract is so unique, and everyone's so nice

and different and I absolutely love it. I can't wait to be around them all again.

3. TIME

Two words. Mikky Ekko.

L O V E  O F  M Y  L I F E, AMIRIGHT LADIES?!

His voice is f.l.a.w.l.e.s.s. in every form of the word and he's literally the cutest person I've seen in my entire life. He deserves all the good in the world. Like w0W he's gr8.

I had the opportunity to actually meet him this past month, and lemme tell you

he's even cuter in person than he is in pictures, and that's saying something. 

But back to the album. 

Complete perfection. That's all I have to say.

Listen to it. Listen to it all. In one sitting. Love yourself.

F A V S  F R O M  T I M E:

U

TIME

SMILE

COMATOSE

PULL ME DOWN

WATCH ME RISE

when I say every single other frickin song on the album I mean it

he's an angel and his voice proves it 

Literally the best album I've heard in my life, give it listen. 

Here are some pics from Mikky's lil 6-song performance at Grimey's

The Decision

oh. my. gosh.

It's December.

I haven't posted since October. 

I'm a terrible blogger, I am so so sorry.

BUT ON THE PLUS SIDE I HAVE FINALLY CREATED MY NEW URL/BLOG NAME.

*cue drum roll please*

my new blog name is

. . .

FLATS & HATS

It has honestly taken months to come up with this so I hope you all love it as much as I do.

***To all of you who have contacted me for interviews & other opportunities: I will get back to you all this week!! I am so so sorry for how long this has taken. Thank you for your patience!***

However, I am ready to get back on the blogging scene. I'm ready to annoy the crap out of you all with music reviews & Goodwill hauls & stories about my cat & everything else!

I love you all so much and I hope that you'll come along on this new journey. A journey full of finding yourself, a journey full of fashion mishaps & fashion legacies, a journey full of life,but most importantly, a journey full of happiness. 

Considering we are only four days from the new year, I thought I would officially change my URL on January 1st. 

Thank you all for sticking by me through 2014, it's been an unbelievably stressful year, and I've had terrible posting habits, but 2015 is full of new opportunities & surprises! Can't wait to see you all in the New Year!

For those of you who don't know what Kings Island is, it's an amazing

amusement park in Ohio. So yeah, Tevas will definitely come in handy while walking around a huge amusement park all day!
