MUSIC BREAKDOWN // SAM SPARRO - BLACK & GOLD

 Sam Sparro for German fashion magazine TUSH

SAM SPARRO - BLACK & GOLD {Spotify}

I think of autumn and beer pong at the neighbor's house. I think of Asheville, North Carolina and the chill of mountain air.  It brings me the kind of joy and warmth you get when you're surrounded by Christmas lights or handed a package of fresh, home baked cookies. 

I'm talking of course, about the flood of feeling that emerges when you're listening to an old, nostalgia inducing song. A song is like an old friend that you revisit time and time again - to get caught up, to learn something new, to just smile back at one another. 

Those strange, childish, heart feeling... things.

When I was first introduced to this song about four years ago, I was spellbound. I couldn't stop listening, and I haven't since. 

What songs make you feel? How do you tie them into your life? If you had to pick 12 songs to be the permanent soundtrack to your life, what would they be?

SHOW OFF THOSE LEGS!

Who likes short shorts? We like short shorts. 

It's that time again, ladies. Short weather. The season of bare legs is finally upon us, meaning we'll be spending most of our days waxing, shaving or some painful combination of both.  Don't worry though, it's completely worth it when you've got such stylish shorts to show off those freshly waxed gams.  

Speaking of waxing,  those of you who are Nashville locals should check out one of our best waxing salons, WAX Nashville. With several locations, you just can't pass this one up. Why waste all that time soaping and shaving when someone else could do the work for you!

TUESDAY TREND: ASYMMETRICAL HEMLINES

I'm sure, being the stylish and sophisticated woman that you are, you've begun to notice the changing variety in hemlines as of late. Last year we saw the hemline fall to ankle lengths, with full length skirts and maxi dresses. A welcome change from the short, short days of yore. 

Now lets say that a short flirty skirt and a stylishly draped full length had a baby... You'd end up with these beauties. The best of both worlds. You've heard them called Fish Tail skirts, Mullet Skirts, Asymmetrical Skirts and everything in between. What are they? Perhaps we'll never really know - Maybe some glorious product of Alien Technology, but they're so awesome that it doesn't even matter.
