the weekend of my dreams

Labor Day Weekend

if only every weekend could be spent lounging on the beach, having sleep over parties, girlie gossip, grill outs and late night dance time

see you soon jilly!

i miss new york.

i spent a few nights up in new york last weekend i've never missed it this much after returning to dc. i had family time, city time, shopping, nights out. it was the perfect weekend.

we started with curry at the brick lane friday night, off to drinks in the village. saturday we brunched in park slope, then headed back to the village for window shopping and afternoon margaritas and aj's birthday (!) dinner. sunday we headed back to the village yet again for coffee, real shopping and lots of pictures. i need a trip back SOON.

late nights

how we keep ending up at Rocket Bar? not too sure. but a late night out that includes killer fashion, oooodles of PBR, and legthy stories of brent's recent escapades - not too bad.

new tunes Tuesday. Round 18. Janelle Monae and beyond.

{tightrope, janelle monae ft. BoB & lupe fiasco}

super quick while i pull myself away from work/listening to this on repeat. CHECK THIS OUT. my friend sent me an invite to the upcoming Of Montreal show at the 9:30 club and mentioned the Janelle Monae was the opener. i checked her out to help decide if it was worth seeing OM yet again. while they're an odd billing together - her soulful, hip-hop, almost punky feel, and their theatrical, suuuuuper psychedelic pop sound - she seems like she'd ROCK live.

i only got a few songs in and got hooked on this one. it is MAD good.
