popbar, NYC
I am probably very lucky that I do not have a popbar near my house - I am constantly chasing and tackling the guys that push the popsicle carts. I am, however, considering a trip out east just to visit! Popsicle genius.

Now I am CRAVING something frozen!!! My favorite flavor: coconut (or pina colada) with shredded coconut in it, YUM.

The XX - Crystalised (Live on KEXP)
You’ve applied the pressure
To have me crystalised
And you’ve got the faith
That I could bring paradise
I’ll forgive and forget
Before I’m paralyzed
Do I have to keep up the pace
To keep you satisfied
Things have gotten closer to the sun
And I’ve done things in small doses
So don’t think that I’m pushing you away
When you’re the one that I’ve kept closest
You don’t move slow
Taking steps in my directions
The sound resounds, echo
Does it lessen your affection
No
You say I’m foolish
For pushing this aside
But burn down our home
I won’t leave alive
Glaciers have melted to the sea
I wish the tide would take me over
I’ve been down on my knees
And you just keep on getting closer
Honey, I’m Home
Ahhh, home sweet home. Actually, I’m not THAT excited about being back from my trip to NYC. I wish I had a lot more money so I could make it a sorta-permanent vacation. A girl can dream. Anyway…here are a couple happy little jams for your Thursday. xoxo.

New York, New York
I have been a total blog-slacker this week. I know this…but its sort of justified. On top of trying to purchase my first house, I was preparing for my extended weekend trip to NYC this weekend. My last visit was so fantastic that I had to get back out right away. I think I’m going to make a habit of this. See you Tuesday!
the Republic Tigers
I saw these guys in NYC last weekend when they opened for Travis. I’m not going to lie, I’m not big on watching opening acts, but I was really surprised by how good their live show was. Here’s a video from their single, Buildings & Mountains.

MKE to NYC
Ahh yes, its just about time to leave my sweet, little midwest for the big city. It should be fantastic. I’ll leave you with these amazing finds from sellers in the NYC vicinity. Back on Tuesday with photos and stories to tell.

I mentioned my upcoming trip to NYC a while ago and its almost here! Friday morning I’m leavin’ on a jet plane, taking off for a few glorious days in the big city. So far, the weather looks like it will be amazing so keep your fingers crossed, please!!
Most of the trip will be spent seeing the sights, eating some amazing food, doing the tourist thing but Saturday night we’ll be checking out Travis at Webster Hall. We’re big fans and I’m way excited. He’s a video from one of their older tracks, Sing.
I couldn’t help picking out some flashy nyc/travel inspired things from Etsy. Friday can’t get here soon enough…but these fun finds will help hold me over. Show some love!

I was happy to break some news to my dear boyfriend yesterday. I planned a trip to NYC to see a band we love, do some shopping, do some Anthony Bourdain inspired eating. So excited. I do love New York.
Here’s a new piece inspired by our trip. I got funky with my exacto blade, dug up every NYC lyric I could find and took some inspiration from the filthy 80s New York scene to bring you this:
