Song Of The Week: Don't Stop The Music {Cover}

When Rihanna's Don't Stop The Music came out I just couldn't get enough of the song.  It appears the radio stations in LA felt the same way and played it every sixth song in rotation.  I was pleasantly pleased to hear the song again, this time a jazzy cover of Don't Stop The Music by Jamie Cullum.

I first listened to Jamie's when he covered Pharell's Frontin'.  I loved how he took a hip rap song and turned it into something my parents would enjoy listening to.  I love to listen to his albums while I am cooking or reading and I often times find myself tapping my foot or swaying to the music without realizing it. 

Just easy listening by a very talented gent.

Song Of The Week: The Man Who Sold The World {Cover}

Growing up in Seattle during the whole "grunge" "garage band" time was pretty awesome.  I totally wore the baggy jeans, flannel shirts, and dirty hair look for a few months, until my mother promised me an entire new wardrobe if I wore something that actually fit and wasn't from my father closet. 

Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains could all be heard blaring from my yellow Sony Walkman or from my 5 Disc CD Changer in my room growing up and my favorite album for the longest time (and still high up on the list today) was Nirvana's MTV Unplugged in New York.  I listened to it with my boyfriend Trevor my freshman year and loved it when he would sing Lake Of Fire in this funny voice.

The album is still amazing and I had forgotten full of many covers, one of my faves is David Bowie's The Man Who Sold The World (1999 Digital Remaster).  Nirvana's The Man Who Sold The World was a change from their normal style and could almost be considered soothing.  I think the Nirvana MTV Unplugged in New York showed how truly talented the band was and made my parents maybe not think the music was such garbage. 

This album is truly fantastic and a wonderful piece to have in your collection.  RIP Kurt.

Forever Frugal Friday ~ Help Japan

{via}

I am moving offices at work today and caught myself saying it was the worst day ever.  Then it dawned on me that my day was nothing in comparison to what the people of Japan have been dealing with.  I quickly realized how lucky I am, and quit my bitching immediately. 

When I went to select today's Forever Frugal Find I was greeted with an excellent news.  Today only (March 18th) every dollar you spend at Forever 21 will go toward the earthquake and tsunami efforts in Japan.  That means by shopping your little heart out you will be helping the people of Japan.  So awesome.  

So please if you have time, order something for a friend, sister, boyfriend, co-worker or yourself because the more you spend the more Japan gets.  

A few of my fave new arrivals:

Belted Flutter Dress

Two Tone Watch

UCLA pulled out the win last night (barely) and earned me some points in my bracket.  This Vintage UCLA Tee would be great for any fan of the Bruins.

I have Ohio State winning all three of my brackets with the University of Kansas as the runner up.  This raglan is not only darling but looks so comfy and perfect for watching games at the bar. 

If you want to donate more than just your shopping purchases, please text REDCROSS to 90999 to donate $10 or go to redcross.org.

Every bit counts! 

The Luck of the Irish

Happy St. Patty's to all!  While I am an idiot and forgot to wear any green today, I have many things to be happy and thankful for today including Marge's birth and my parents 28th wedding anniversary! 

Hope you all get to enjoy a pint of Guinness or a shot of Bailey's today! 

Cheers!
