Tuesday Tunes: Jets to Brazil - You're The One I Want

By
This was one of my all-time favorite songs during the last couple years of high school. It's still wonderfully good. I'm sure everyone has those songs that bring you back to a specific time. This one is all junior and senior year of high school. Jets to Brazil is one of the first indie bands I started listening to after my cousins burned a bunch of CDs for me. We were up in Illinois for Christmas. We drove around, went to the one music store that actually sold some lesser-known stuff, and blasted the tunes around town. The winter of 05-06 really sticks in my mind as a musical awakening. My music taste was forever changed - or broadened, I should say. Thus began my never-ending search for new/interesting/talented/entertaining bands. 

I'll never get enough of this song.

This is such a great album! I have a colored vinyl of it that my husband bought when one of his old bands was on a small tour (he got it in PA for me) back when we were engaged in '03/'04 (I think it was January of '04 though that he got it). We had it on CD for a while before then, but still prefer it on vinyl. It is such an unknown band that I am so happy to see someone posting about it right now!!!! yey!

Funny, I've never heard this song but my Junior year of high school (07) was also when I was awakened to the wonderful world of indie music! Nothing better than finding a new unknown band that you love so much!

Botanical Fun

These pictures are from my outing to The State Botanical Garden of Georgia, which just so happens to be conveniently located about 8 minutes from my apartment. There were still a nice amount of flowers blooming so it was really pretty. I decided I needed to get more wears out of my pretty Steal the Game Show dress from Modcloth so I took some inspiration from other bloggers and wore it as a skirt! I actually really liked how this outfit turned out. Plus it was easy to walk around in all day because I wore nice, comfy Keds. dress (worn as a skirt): Modcloth.com blouse, belt, bag: thrifted cardigan: ann taylor loft; thrifted shoes: keds sunglasses: kohls earrings: forever 21 I quite enjoyed my brightly colored nails. They're China Glaze Papaya Punch with an accent nail of Electrify from the Capitol Colours collection. I've been loving having the whole Capitol Colours collection. Especially since it's Hunger Games themed. If there...

Work Outfit: Light Blue Jersey Knit Dress and White Block Heels

I'm a big fan of what I call "pajama dresses," which are really just jersey knit skater dresses . They're comfortable enough to sleep in, yet can look 100% put-together if styled nicely. That's exactly what I did with this light blue dress California-based shop Tobi sent me to style. (Someone even asked me why I was dressed so nice at the dog park! I told them I just came from work, of course.) For the debut of my newest pajama dress, I added my silvery beaded Stella and Dot necklace and a pair of white block heel sandals from Forever 21. I actually bought the shoes back in December on sale and had to wait for it to warm up to finally wear them. Happily, they're comfortable enough to walk back and forth to work, which is really all I can ask in a pair of cheap shoes.  daydreaming skater dress : c/o tobi | shoes : forever 21 | necklace: stella & dot | sunglasses: forever 21 Check out more from Tobi:  shorts  |  jewelry  |  casual dresses ...

Outfit: Concert Tee, Black Denim Mini Skirt, Pink Tights, and White Converse

Here I am wearing a concert t-shirt again. At this point I'm not sure I'll ever stop wearing them. Maybe when I'm 70 I won't wear them with bright pink tights and white wedge Converse, but really, who knows? Maybe we'll all be dressing like Zenon : Girl of the 21st Century by then. (I can only hope.) And if I really take a look at this outfit, all I need is a colorful vest and I may as well have come off the space station. They really liked vests in that movie. I guess they don't need sleeves when everything's climate controlled? It is, however, not climate controlled outside in Atlanta. These pictures are from a couple months ago but it still hasn't reliably warmed up here yet. Also, my hair is now completely different since I had it chopped off again into an asymmetrical pixie a couple weeks ago.
