let's be real

we all knew it was only a matter of time before i attempt to push my musical taste on anyone who happens to read this.  so, if you haven't already, you should buy these four albums:

bon iver- blood bank ep

the national- boxer

yeasayer- all hour cymbals

grizzly bear- yellow house

oh and while you're at, it you may as well get the gaslight anthem- the '59 sound. . you can thank me later, when you're officially as obsessed with them as i am.

i'm getting antsy

 

lately my almost weekly trip to saks has been reduced to a half-assed walk through from one end to the other, clearly stating "i'm bored." and leaving promptly, bag of goodies not in hand. 

i haven't seen anything that i really like in a while. . i keep hoping for some shining light and i haven't gotten it so far this year.  maybe as fashion week progresses we'll get something new and fresh, and wearable.  i'm finding that the "big brands" just don't do it for me anymore.  i used to love getting lost in bergdorf goodman, and now i find myself seeking out the tiny boutique in soho that sells "new" designers.  of course, high end small designers come at a high price, but it's become a price i'm willing to pay.  this is not because i have my own brand and hope that others will also be willing to pay said price, but because the floor at barneys is so very lack luster.   

try harder.
