The Bay Area has really great lineups other than just Outside Lands. I love hearing about these festivals taking place outside of the city.

A little bit inaprops, but a new track from the Weeknd so duh we’re posting.
The Slap

My pal Jackson sent me this because he obviously knew that I would like it and post to Yow Yow! It’s kind of its own parody on that video that was released a few months ago called “First Kiss.” Do you all remember all of the words I had to say on that?! The video we’re watching is one that I’m responding to a little bit better. It’s more light-hearted and I’m not seeing it all over my Facebook newsfeed with people remarking that is the most inspiring thing they’ve ever seen.
It’s just a silly video so let’s just stick with that.

FAFSA Offends
We all know how easy it is to make a quick joke on social media these days, but oh how things can go sour fast. The federal financial aid agency which we know as FAFSA made a huge mistake today posting the following tweet above and naturally, people were offended. In fact, I’m offended. I get that they were trying to be clever, but categorizing those that fill out the FAFSA as poor is incorrect. Not everyone that fills out the FAFSA is poor and why shame those that do when tuition for higher education currently is as high as it is.
The tweet was up for an hour before it was taken down and followers had a lot to say in response.
Shame on you FAFSA.

Robin Thicke – Get Her Back
Love the song. Hate the video that aired out all of their dirty laundry. BLAH! If I were Paula, I would hate to see my texts to my s/o up in a music video.

I really loved her Bates Motel. I’m excited to see what’s up for her next after this film.
Sunset Strip Music Festival 2014
Today is just a day of lineup announcements! I’m pretty excited to see Mayer Hawthorne being picked up for a lot of festivals this year and always rooting for Seattle’s own Minus the Bear.
Life Is Beautiful Fest 2014
This is the first I’m ever hearing about this festival. Why is the lineup so good? I was expecting this to be some sort of EDM show, but wow – this is too good to pass up. Is anyone thinking of going? October sure does sound like a good time to be flying to Vegas!
Wedding Mondays
[vimeo http://vimeo.com/94707445]
Good morning everyone! I’m extremely thrilled to be sharing with you a video of a couple that got married at such a romantic estate in Northern California – the Kohl Mansion. The video highlights some beautiful details from it, but you’ll also want to take a look at the photographs from the Style Me Pretty feature here.
Enjoy!
