Spring Playlist

In my latest Currently post, I mentioned my love for my Young the Giant Pandora station. With this love came the discovery of quite a few songs that just remind me of warm weather. Grouplove, one of this year's Spring Weekend "headliners" even made it on the list.

 

 

Bonus points: this would be a great playlist to drink hang out to over Spring Weekend. ;)

Currently #2

Now that it’s officially April and Spring, I’ve made a decision to ignore the inclimate temperatures and act like it’s Spring until it actually arrives. As a result, I am into all things Spring.

I am Currently…

Wearing: Bite Beauty Quinta Lipstick | This is the perfect shade of Springtime pink. It brightens up my lips without overpowering my face. It was a little more expansive than I would have liked, but I love it a lot

Smelling: Kate Spade Twirl Perfume | I love all things Kate Spade, and this fragrance is no exception. My mom put it in my Easter Basket and I immediately fell for the scent. Unfortunately, Kate no longer carries this scent, but fortunately for me, T.J. Maxx does, and I might have snagged a tube of the lotion for when the spray runs out…

Shopping For: T-Shirt Dresses | What better way to look cute and work-appropriate than by wearing a springy t-shirt dress? I’ve recently become obsessed with this dress and this dress. Just add a necklace and some wedges and it’s the perfect spring outfit.

Listening To: Young the Giant Pandora | Pandora strikes again with it’s fantastic stations. I saw Young the Giant in concert last summer and loved them, and this station consistently plays happy, summery songs.

Obsessed With: Factory Anya Flats | Remember when I wrote about my obsession with cap toe ballet flats? Over break, J. Crew Factory had a 50% off sale, and I finally splurged on this pair. I’m in love. I wore them once and even the saleslady at Aldo complimented them. They’re perfect for adding a pop of spring to every outfit I own.

Loving: Shine So Bright Hair Balm | I have a personal problem with keeping my ends from splitting. However, after I bought this teeny product from Lush, my ends feel so much better. I use it 1-2 times a day, and my ends still feel blunt like I just got them trimmed. And it just smells so good.

Wishing I Could Afford: Kate Spade Devi Wedges | Last week when I was shopping at Lord & Taylor with my mom we came across these perfect wedges. Not only are they springy, but they have a bow on the toes, making them perfect. If only I had $260 to spare.

Throwback Playlist

As a visual arts minor, I am forced to endure Visual Thinking, otherwise known as a once a week 2 hour and 45 minute class, where somehow, the projects are complicated and there is no class time to work on them. As a result, my roommate and I find ourselves consistently sitting at home on Saturday nights, working diligently on these ridiculous projects, which are intended to simply teach us the basics in design. Whatever.

To get myself through these marathon art sessions, I've become accustomed to listening to one Pandora station and one station only: Beyonce.

I swear to god, its the best station you'll ever listen to. First of all, Beyonce is the Queen. Second of all, it consistently kicks out the best throwbacks circa 2004-2009.

I put together one playlist, but there are sure to be many more, of my favorite throwbacks, brought to me via Beyonce Pandora.

I hope you find these songs as nostalgic of Jr. High and High School as I do.

PS I tried really really hard to figure out how to embed a playlist in this so that you can play my songs right here. Unfortunately, that is way beyond my technical capacity at this point. Maybe in the future. Instead, I made a cool graphic.
