She goes by Birdy. An Australian songstress with a set of pipes to kill and piano skills to beat. She's also only 16 years old and has her first album out already on iTunes and Amazon.com. She does mostly covers but a few are her own. Her next album will be all her own songs.
**Buy her debut album "Birdy"**
So I discovered this song last week and seriously haven't stopped listening to it since. I can already quote it.
Today was warmer out, 50 degrees, a sign that Spring is on it's way, we hope. We took full advantage of the foggy day and took some shots. Questions we were asked about these pictures were, "Were their cars? Where is this empty road?" The road is in fact totally functional and running but usually unused since it is a back road near farms. Whenever there was a car coming though we'd shout, "Car!" and quickly move out of the way. And as they'd drive by, slowing down a little when they approached us, we'd merely pretend to be taking pictures of trees and ditches instead of being two crazy girls taking fashion shots in the middle of the road in 50 degree weather. Well, "All for the sake of fashion" as Mackenzie says, and for all our lovely readers, whoever you may be.
Mad Men! I recently started watching this last month and I instantly got hooked. I can't put my finger on why I love it, its just addicting.
Excited about...
Downton Abbey, what can I say, it is beautiful, amazing, spectacular, and pretty much the greatest show ever. Hayley and I have waited forever to see season 3, we are two giddy screaming girls when it comes on. I would describe my thoughts on the new season but I don't was to spoil anything. This week we are going to bake some Downton Abbey inspired type food (scones maybe, do you have any ideas?) and drink herbal tea while enjoying the show. To get an idea of what we are like while watching Downton Abbey watch the video below (its hilarious!)
Reading...
Is everyone hanging out without me? by Mindy Kaling. I just finished this book and it was an awesome read. Mindy is a writer on The Office and I love the office so I knew I would enjoy it. It's very similar to Tina Fey's book. It's adorable, a fast funny read and I suggest it.
Thinking about...
Instead of reflecting on the past year I can't help but think of the year to come with college and moving away from family and friends, it's an exciting and nervous time.
Disliking...
Winter. It's very hard to take blog photos when it is 10 degrees outside. I have seen other bloggers take photos in the snow but I wonder how they do it. I think it is just too cold in Wisconsin.
Working on..
Surrealism! Hayley and I are taking a class on surrealism and dadaism and for the final project we (and another friend) created a Man Ray inspired film. I hate to brag but it's crazy good. This was our first film and it was a lot of work but really fun. We had no limits so we could create really cool scenes. I hope to put it on the blog soon.
Hey,
Is everyone in the Christmas spirit? It hasn't quite hit me. I still have a lot of shopping to do and have yet to decorate the house. The first Wisconsin snow came this week and was so pretty! I am hoping to take some photos next time it snows at a local park. The snow makes me want to wear huge scarves and sweaters. I feel I am losing my style or getting lazy, but when you wake up and it is pitch black and freezing outside it's hard to put on a nice dress. Anyway I realized I had not posted these photos but they are a couple weeks old. (P.S. The coat I am wearing is one of my favorite articles of clothing.)
I'm going to college for graphic design. Plain and simple. I was browsing the Internet the other day and found these posters. I am a huge fan of of these minimalist movie posters, and minimalist art in general, and Hayley and I were looking at them while in a surrealism/dadaism class. Here are a few of my favorites:
