Translation: 
So, in a fit of pre-9 am klutziness, I splashed some coffee on my laptop. Consequentially, most of the keys on the right side of my keyboard don't work. Brilliant, right?  It takes me so long to type a sentence copying and pasting letters. So expect some silence on my end while I take my computer into the shop and pray that it gets fixed ASAP (for as cheap as possible).  Fingers crossed!

STOP & LISTEN


           

I'm a big Avett Brothers fan.  I love anything with a twang to it, and the Avett Brother's bluegrass roots and beautiful lyrics send me into a tailspin.  I've only listened to this album a few times, but it's already a new favorite.  And the fact that they're coming into town later fall so I'll be able to see them perform this live? Icing on the cake.
FAV TRACK: "The Once and Future Carpenter"
rolling stone: the carpenter

   

 Like, omigawd, you're in college? 
Do you, like, luurrveee Dave Matthews?  
Answer: yes and yes (though my favorite song is not Satellite, so I'm only slightly cliche).
  DMB is the quintessential college jam band.  They reunite with their old produce Lillywhite on this album, harkening back to some of his 90's sounds.  Definitely more a jazzy jam than a rocky jam, which I'm digging.  It's the Dave we all know and love, no matter when we graduate(d).
FAV TRACK: tie between "Broken Things" and "Sweet" so far.
rolling stone: away from it all

   
In a classic SAT-style "which one doesn't belong" question, this album would be the correct choice.  To be honest, I wasn't that big of an xx fan until I saw them live, which seems completely contradictory.  But there's something about the beauty in the simplicity, the haunting vocals and the sparse lyrics.  (Also, it's great music to study to).
FAV TRACK: "Angels"
rolling stone: coexist

PINK & ORANGE BEDROOM



I have a good friend who has great, classic style, and we always joke about how at least two-thirds of her closet is navy blue.  She always wears it.  Now while navy is my favorite neutral, I like to think of it as a jumping off point for brighter and happier colors.  One of my favorite combos is pink and orange.  It reminds me of Lilly Pulitzer and the beach and sunshine and lemonade and bright, happy things like that.  When I stumbled across the white bedroom above with pops of pink and orange, I was immediately smitten.  Get the look with these picks below!
