Latest Music Obsession: Sailor & I "Tough Love"

Another heart-wrenching tune that I'm absolutely addicted to right now. The strings at the beginning alone have me mentally to my knees 8). I just discovered Sailor & I this week and am now really pumped for his upcoming EP. To learn more about Sailor & I and to stay up-to-date on his new releases, please pay his site as well as his Facebook page a visit! Enjoy and Happy (nearly) Friday! Love, XL

Monday Favorites!

I've been a bit MIA recently (oops!). No big story behind it, just trying to keep up with life. Next week is my 5 year anniversary with P so I'll probably bake something special. I'll try to post it if I get some decent photos in =D. Hope you're having a fabulous month!

Latest Music Obsession: Miike Snow "Burial"

Hope everyone is enjoying a day filled with love, whether of the romantic variety or not! I've just gotten back from some short, fun trips to Florida and L.A.! Met some lovely bloggers in person and have completely fallen for the laid-back vibe of the West Coast (even the air feels different...and no, I don't mean the smog ;p). I'll be playing catch-up with school for the next week or so, but here's a taste of my latest musician obsession in the meantime. Enjoy =D!
