Bombay Bicycle Club – How Can You Swallow So Much Sleep

Study break! This song, along with the Pumpkin Spice Latte that Wes made for me is motivating me to study for my last final and prepare for my presentation tomorrow. Oh winter break… you’re so close! If you’re looking for new music, just get this entire album. It’s the best.

In Motion

Since today was a grayer day than usual, I thought this outfit was more appropriate. Veronica and I originally wanted to go outside to take this photograph, but out of laziness, we sort of decided on this one last minute instead.

First Listen: The Head & The Heart

When have I ever been able to stay away?

This was too good to pass up and way too good to wait until tomorrow…

Listen to The Head & The Heart’s new single, “When I Fall Asleep” courtesy of Spin Magazine.

This should wake you up on this gray Wednesday morning in Seattle.

SWV – Weak

After Thursday, I am officially done with my fall quarter so unfortunately there won’t be any other posts today because I’ve got a presentation and a final to tackle! This song was one of my favorites as a kidlet so I thought I would bring back my favorite R&B hits again and it’s actually pretty funny if you can imagine a four-year old me singing to this song.

Have a great rest of your day! Check out some older posts. Check out some random posts. Leave comments, “like posts,” let me know what you think about the space street style! I’ll have another one for you tomorrow or two on Thursday.

Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show Recap

(All photos by Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images)

I may not be a regular at Victoria’s Secret, but I am a huge fan of the annual fashion show that airs on CBS every winter. I’ve always had an interest in runway shows, but what sets this one apart from all the others is that the models actually LOOK like they are having fun. Seriously, don’t you agree? They’re smiling, they’re dancing…there’s 300 pounds of glitter on the runway. Just picture that for a second. You would die if 300 pounds of glitter were on top of you. And that’s scary, but that’s what makes the show so successful. Well, that and all the models and the lingerie you know…

Highlights:

  • Performers: Kanye West, Jay-Z, Maroon 5 and Nicki Minaj
  • Favorite theme: Aquatic Angels
  • How cute was Orlando Bloom rising almost every time wife Miranda Kerr hit the stage?
  • To keep you on the edge of your seat, the organizers of the show went all intense on us and gave us a play-by-play of what was going on backstage. Will Adriana make it in time?! Of course she does.
  • Karlie Kloss is the ultimate HBIC. This may be her first time walking for the show, but she’s no stranger to the runway – having snagged all of the major runway shows every single season.
  • Lily Aldridge is the best ever.
  • Not enough Chanel Iman.
  • Anne V. and Adam Levine…merrrrr

And now a tribute to my favorite Angels!

Happy Holidaze

This is my favorite part of being at school in December. THE ENORMOUS CHRISTMAS TREE! There wasn’t really any reason for me to be wearing my Christmas sweater vest today, but it was something that I bought last year around this time and I’m pretty much determined to wear it every time the holidays roll around.

I bought this vest for $3 and the details on it are amazing. They’re a huge distraction for me in class.

Kirsten Dunst for C Magazine

Have any of you guys seen Melancholia yet? I just watched it over the weekend with my family and although it’s a pretty slow movie, it is absolutely beautiful. Kirsten Dunst has always been a favorite of mine since the Bring it On, Drop Dead Gorgeous days, and this film continues to prove that she is a dynamic actress with varying layers. These photographs of her in C Magazine are stunning.
