Just Wondering

By any chance did anyone happen to go to Dave Barnes' show last night at Mercury Lounge? I wanted so much to go, but I had to pack for my now delayed flight to Houston. The album just keeps growing on me and I am just wondering how the songs went over live.

-Boarding...FINALLY!!!

I'm Goin' to Texas

(In my best southern accent) Yes its true I'm heading to good old Texas on Friday. Houston to be exact. I've never been and I'm quite curious to see what Texas is all about. I'm going to have a laid back weekend with my family. They have it all planned out for me. When you live in a place like New York its like ok what can top this? So I go with an open mind ready to experience something new.

I've Found Them

I am almost positive these are them. I am so thrilled and now I can rest easy. Dita "Cruz" Sunglasses at Eye 5 $275.

-I'll take em!

I Want It Now!

I feel like breaking into song. Remember Veruca Salt? (Ok, I think that may have been a miss on that one)
Every time I see Shayne Lamas on the "Bachelor: London Calling" wearing her shades. I go crazy because I want them. I'm embarrassed to admit that I don't know who the designer is. I'm normally good at this sort of thing. Am I losing my touch??? God I hope not. I've posted the best pic I could find of her in her sunglasses. If you know who the designer is please put me out of my misery and let me know. Until then I will continue my search in hopes to find MY shades. (Just in case, she's the blonde)

Review: "Me and You and the World"

My last post came off a bit harsh. I'm not eating my words, but that was definitely not my intention. I have had this album in heavy rotation purely because I adore it, and I can't stop listening to it. Its comforting. "Nothing Else" gives you a nice, warm fuzzy feeling, soothing and soul pleasing. Dave is a pro at keeping his southern soulful, blues tone present in his music, and I love him for that (listen to "Since You Said I Do.") "Adeline" and "When a Heart Breaks" will touch you.
For a limited time iTunes has added "Me and You and the World" to the "Next Best Thing Sale" for only $5.99. Such a SOLID album. What a steal!

Between Us

I think when you find a good thing, you should share the wealth, so here I am sharing one of my favorite places in the city. Bloomie Nails for mani./pedi. nestled in Chelsea this is one weekly splurge that I have no apologies for. They have every essie and O.P.I color and on a slight chance they don't have it they will make sure its in the salon for your next visit. I'm a firm believer in you get what you pay for, great service and great location and a nice salon, what more could you ask for. Tracy and Lisa are my favs. I'm always up to try new places but I always leave disappointed and wishing I went to Bloomie.
Every week I try to use a different color, this week I went with a mixture of two new shades, "Looking for Love" and "Great Expectations" (both essie). Ok T.M.I. Looks adorable.

What I'm Listening to: Dave Barnes

"Me and You and the World" Is playing as I type. I like what I hear thus far. I will say that I'm a little disappointed that two of the songs are from his "Brother, Bring the Sun" album. Seems like the creative juices ran out, and those two songs were put in as "Fillers". But who am I to judge. They're good songs and maybe I'm wrong but hey... Other than that I'm enjoying the album its honest and catchy just like the Dave Barnes sound we're accustom to and love. Its a bit too "Studio" slightly over-processed at times. And that I think, can sometimes make a good song bad. But, I'm going to give this album a few good listens and see if my thoughts have changed.

-Here's hoping
