Giveaway: Willy Moon at U Street Music Hall

When you listen to a great song and all you want to do is dance – the last thing you want to be wearing is something you can’t move in. I love adding one casual and comfy piece for a night out at a show…like an oversized t-shirt, beanie + side braid, sweatshirt, my favorite worn in jeans, or sneakers in a great color.

Need some music to get you in the dancing mood? Check out my updated 2013 playlist. It includes a fun song by Willy Moon (who also happens to be super stylish himself).

Giveaway: The Vaccines at 9:30 Club

outfit for the the Vaccines show at the 930 Club

DC has some great concert venues and in the next month or so I’m really excited to go to a couple of shows. It’s one of the best things to do in the winter, right? It’s not like I can spend a Friday night soaking up the sun at jazz in the garden…might as well stay warm by singing and dancing around with a few hundred friends to some great music. And you’ll most likely find me in an outfit just like the one above. Comfy, practical, a little more bad-ass than I actually am.

I’m excited to team up with the 9:30 Club for a great giveaway for two tickets to the Vaccines show on Friday February 1st. To enter, leave a comment below sharing one of your current favorite songs. (I made a small playlist of some of the songs I have on repeat – check it out on spotify!) For an extra entry, tweet about the giveaway using the hashtag #Vaccines930.

I’ll announce the winner next Friday but if you don’t want to wait or you definitely want to end up at the show with yours truly, you can buy your tickets here. Hope to see ya there!

Daily Inspiration

I’ve fallen off the radar a bit because I’m knee deep in a fun but intense work project. I wanted to share a few things that are keeping me inspired… a sparkling clean and beautiful house, strawberry doughnuts(!), and being a bit of a type nerd. I’ve been listening to some great music that has kept me going too…check out some of my faves below. What are you listening to this week?

Happy Weekend

Oh, you have no idea how happy I am that it’s the weekend..just to have a few moments to breathe and stand still. I’ve been a pretty social chick this past week and it’s just going to continue for the next several days, leading up to my birthday. While I feel like I haven’t rested in weeks, I’m having a blast.

Not only has it been a busy week, but an inspiring one too. I’ve learned a ton and connected with some fantastic people. Some of my favorite things from this week…

Of Monster and Men’s full debut album was released on NPR, and it’s sheer perfection. I can’t wait to see them at the Black Cat on Monday. Take a listen, I promise it will make your ears happy.

I heard an excellent presentation by Daniel Mall about design. Favorite quote? “Spare no expense to enjoy yourself.” Check out his killer work and the most awesomest thing ever.

I organized all of my food-related pinterest boards this week. Make sure you’re following along and start cooking!

Speaking of food…a few of my recent favorite bites have been: the pickle madness salad at Sweet Green, another fab brunch at Birch and Barley (if you haven’t been yet, what’s wrong?), the Jersey Shore pizza at Graffiatio, lamb and ice cream sandwiches at Ripple, bottomless mimosas and egg sandwiches at Vinoteca, onglet à l’échalotte at Bistro du Coin…just to name a few.

Hope you have a fantastic weekend! I know I can’t wait for April, my birthday, and more reckless adventures. I’m off to buy a birthday party dress – can’t wait to share!

Happy Weekend

It’s going to be a gorgeous weekend in DC! This coupled with my giddy mood should make for a good one. I don’t know if it’s the spring-like weather or listening to this catchy teen pop song on repeat? Whatever the reason, it will be colorful, happy, solo-dance-party-filled weekend. I hope yours is too!
