Music ensemble (pun intended)

If you know anything about me, you probably know that I LOVE MUSIC. It's been my main passion for as long as I can remember. So, of course, when I see clothing with some sort of music feature I get a little excited. The following are items that have caught my music-loving eye:

I adore this new dress from Sugarhill Boutique. Dark-navy blue is a hue I gravitate toward, and with the gramophone print, it's just too cute.

Next up is the "In the Key of Chic Dress" from ModCloth. I posted the rainbow version in the previous post, which my dear friend Nina surprised me with by sending it to me! (pictures to come). This is the original print, which is a must for any music performance major/teacher. I really love the print, but I don't know if I could pull it off.

Now for a comfy way to support the music love. This is the perfect top to lounge around in on a Saturday. I can see it paired with some black skinny jeans and boots, sitting in front of a fireplace, notebook in hand, writing out lyrics about lost love, the raindrops fallings, while listening to Bon Iver or Amos Lee. Sorry....got a little day-dreamy there haha. Another ModCloth pick.

All that musical love and creativity is going to work up an appetite, right? Well, it's time to get in the kitchen and whip something up using these fantastic wooden spoons. Throw on some rock n' roll and drum along while cooking it up!

And then you take your leftovers to work/school in this awesome lunchbox! Pay homage to one of the greatest musical influences of all time, The Beatles!

I also love that Modcloth titles this as "Ate Days A Week." Clever title Modcloth, clever title.

And how about this adorable pin?

Now to end with a few of my favorite music-inspired quotes:

Where words end music begins.

Goethe

Which of these two powers, love or music, 

can elevate man to the most sublime heights? 

Why separate them? 

They are the two wings of the soul.

Hector Berlioz

Music is the soil in that 

the spirit lives, thinks and invents.

Ludwig van Beethoven

Happy Friday friends! Enjoy the three day weekend! <3

Getting Cozy....in the key of V

It's raining. It's weird that rain feels so foreign right now, being in the Pacific NW and all. But the summer has been particularly sunny, so now that the clouds have come in it almost feels like autumn is upon us. Which I am NOT ready for. Nonetheless, it's putting me in the mood to want to get comfy, curl up with a cup of coffee in front of a fireplace, and read a cheesy girl fiction book. Here are a few items I wish I were wearing currently:

I will probably end up ordering this snuggly sweater at some point:

And how about this cute striped number? (yes you will notice I am drawn to stripes).

And of course some leggings to accompany the above items. They go with the rainy theme don't they?

And I just looooove these hoodies. I certainly shall get one. Blue or pink? What do you think? (didn't mean to rhyme there, sorry).

The detailing on the hood is just too cute.

Feeling cozy yet? Someone out there needs to go sit in front of a fireplace, coffee in hand for me, so I can live vicariously through you as I sit at my desk staring into the void of the internet.

Happy Friday everyone! And for one last item that made me chuckle. I might just have to get this welcome mat. Wouldn't you want to hang out with the person who has this at their front door?
