Posted by saramariehall I'm prone to wearing too much black because a) it's my favorite color and b) it's pretty much universally flattering, but I try to break it up as much as I can. With this outfit, just adding the red head scarf gave it a pop of color. Shirt: Goodwill, $3 Skirt: H&M, $5.99 Handkerchief:...

Posted by saramariehall Song: "Ruin" by Cat Power Man, was I on a Cat Power kick today or what. And when I heard she had a new song out from her upcoming album, "Sun," I was pretty excited. This song is weirdly upbeat and cheery for her, but I still like it. It will be interesting to see what the rest of the album is like.

Posted by saramariehall Song: "Gila" by Beach House http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFxdDE0k1_Q After listening to their latest album, "Bloom," all day yesterday, I was in the mood for some old(er)-school Beach House. This is probably my favorite song by them ever. Article: http://pitchfork.com/news/46553-guinness-world-records-respond-to-jack-white-diss/?utm_medium=site&utm_source=most-read&utm_name=news So...

Lana Del Rey in Moschino White suits terrify me (probably because I'd spill something on it), but Lana does a great job here pulling it off. This ivory ensemble isn't overpowering or stuffy, and she accents it well with the red jeweled necklace and earrings. I'd definitely want to try this. Now only...

Posted by saramariehall3 Song: “Hey Mama” by Kanye West http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtpKqMpqGU0 This song was a complete given for today, as it is every year for Mother’s Day.
