It's My Role, It's My Soul

Quite exciting finds today, I'd say. First I'll start with more new music.



This week Kings of Leon (!!!!!) and Ben Kweller both released Live CDs on iTunes. In case you didn't know (and I don't know how you would know... but) Kings of Leon are my very favorite band of all time EVER. So as you can tell, I am quite excited about this. They are completely amazing live and if you ever get the chance to see them you should. If you don't predict seeing them anytime, you should buy this Live From SoHo release on iTunes. As for Ben Kweller, he's in my top five of all time, so Ben Kweller:Live and Solo at the Artist's Den is pretty dope too.


More random music news, due to Barry Bonds' Homerun record-breaking, Kanye West has released a song cleverly titled 'Barry Bonds.' It's kind of a random excuse to release a song, but the song is pretty rad in my opinion. But for me, Kanye can do no wrong.

Also, today I made the stupid, stupid decision to pay the Anthropologie website a visit. "Oh, I'll just look. I won't get emotionally attached to anything," I thought. I was severly wrong. This is what I found (I used my self control and didn't even look at clothes after I checked shoes and accesories):




The first pair is my favorite girly-semi-spinoff of Oxfords that I've seen so far, and the second pair is just undeniably cute.



I didn't even look at the price on this because I was so sad that I couldn't have it. It has to be the coolest ring ever! I love owls and apparently they're so it this season. I want this pretty freakin bad!

And then I made my daily visit (no joke) to Urban Outfitters and found this beauty:



I am absolutely in love with it, but I'm afraid I'd never be able to pull it off because my legs are not sticks and I would be so sent home if I ever tried to wear it to school. But it's gorgeous and I want it anyway, even if it doesn't fit and I'll never wear it.

My sister has also been getting school clothes like mad lately, and today she got the cutest dress:

It's from Boden and I think that I might get one for me and alter it a bit. It would look so cute witih a sweater and tough boots. Plus, I'm thinking since it's a kids dress and I am not a kid it will end up being a lot shorter than it is on that girl, which makes it even better.

Tomorrow is Friday, so I think I'll go garage sale-ing, which I decided doesn't count as shopping. Just being a friendly neighborA ;] If I find anything, you'll surely be informed!

The Choice Is Yours

Hello! I've had a semi-eventful couple of days. Yesterday I went to see Knocked Up for the second time because we couldn't get anyone to take us to SuperBad. It was amazing again. Today I worked all day and went to see Rich Meaty Taste + Taylor play their lovely music. It was fabulous and, as always, a good time.

So I guess you want the obsessions, eh? Well then.


Pretty Little Mistakes website
Remember choose your own destiny novels from elementary school? Well if you liked those as much as I did then this is the book for you. Heather McElhatton has created the ultimate choose your own destiny novel for adults. There are 150 endings and you can bet that I'll be re-reading this one until I get to each and every one of them. The book is quite realistic, with seemingly dramatic consequences that I suppose one might call reality. I will definitly be obsessed with this book for more than one day.


Cool Rings buy
My favorite accesory for fall is certainly an abundance of interesting and gorgeous rings. I'm not into spending a boatload of money on them because it's inevitable that I'll leave them or drop them somewhere never to be seen again, but stores like Forever 21 and Urban Outfitters really have great rings for pretty reasonable prices (especially Forever 21 in the price department). I love gold with black stones, but my absolute favorites are ones with intricate or interesting designs carved into them. I would also recommend wearing more than one [small] ring on one finger. It's my new favorite way to accesorize.


The Bloomsbury Loft website
I was in Powell yesterday with my mom just walking around and going into cute little stores (there are many of them there, I must say) but the Bloomsbury Loft definitly stood way way out. It reminds me exactly of Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette due to its mix of vintage and new finds. There are great fabrics, furniture, accessories, and all around knick knacks that I honestly think you wouldn't be able to find anywhere else. My personal favorite things were the abundance of vintage sewing patterns (I'll buy these and pretend I know how to sew my own clothes), board games and...stuff (vintage pool balls, clothes pins, postcards, etc). And I'm adding a one of a kind vintage chandelier to my Christmas Wishlist (yes, already).
