Intermix Party With Passion Pit

Thu, 18 Oct 2012 04:02:21 +0000

INTERMIX is a favorite store of mine, so on Tuesday night, I stopped by to celebrate the relocation of the Georgetown INTERMIX store to Cady’s Alley. The new store looked great, the clothes were fantastic, the cocktails delicious, and the music was amazing – it’s not every day you get to shop while Passion Pit DJs a set of their music! Yes, PASSION PIT! And I took tons of photos!

Fishdoctor – The Swell

Wed, 30 May 2012 00:00:00 +0000

So I know I’ve talked about them before, but my friend’s band just released their album, and I had to share! The band, Fishdoctor, is based out of Brooklyn and is made up of six seriously fun guys. Their album, The Swell, has a surfer rock kind of feel and is perfect for any summertime soundtrack. Plus, you can download it for free here! Their most well-known song is probably Summer in the Wintertime, but I also love Infantry Song and Hawaiian Blizzard. And really all of them (duh).

Festival Style

Thu, 26 Apr 2012 21:42:00 +0000

So today I’m over on one of my fave music blogs, This is Our Jam DC, talking about what to wear to this weekend’s Sweetlife Festival – which is still fun inspiration for any weekend, really. Who doesn’t love some festival style? Be sure to check out my tips, and don’t forget to enter to win VIP tickets to the event! Below are just a few things I’d love to have if I were going. But as I mentioned, I’m currently on my way to Wisconsin!

Happy Friday!

Fri, 16 Dec 2011 20:46:38 +0000

I can’t believe Christmas is in just about a week – and I’ll be back in Wisconsin on Wednesday! I’ll be taking the weekend to get caught up on some things after a busy week and start packing. If you have some extra time, check out my interview for South Moon Under’s blogger spotlight and if you’re still doing some holiday shopping, click here for my guest post for the FFJD with a gift guide for the significant (or not so significant) boy in your life! And if you REALLY REALLY want to make me happy (especially DC area tweeters) vote in this Washington Post poll on the top twitter personalities – I’m nominated in the 8th category as a favorite fashionista!

NYC Weekend

Sun, 20 Nov 2011 00:00:00 +0000

I hope you’ve had a wonderful weekend! I had an absolute blast in NYC – we took the bus up completely spontaneously to catch a friend’s band who was playing in the city. I may be biased, but I think they’re great – catch Fishdoctor on facebook here, and if you’re in New York, try making it to one of their shows!
