drugged out dreamscape music

I'm cushin' hard on Washed Out right now. This is basically the soundtrack to my day dreams. Ernest Green you are brillz! I just wish there were actual videos to accompany these...sigh. As of late, this chill bro core has def been my sound of choice.

nail polish has hit the matte

I am Loving the new matte nail polishes that have launched for F/W. I've always been partial to either bright pops or inky nots. So I've sworn off shimmer... now shine? At least for the moment. I finally received my first bottle of OPI Lincoln Park After Dark matte last week. It is so thoroughly modern yet nostalgic of 90's grunge. The look is feminine with a rock and roll edge as Karen O has so fiercely displayed above. Very few lines have yet to launch their matte polishes but there will def be more to come once Fall is in full swing. For now check out OPI and Knock Out for the best selection of colors.

VEGA tonight at Club Deville

VEGA is a fantastic local outfit that is sure to put some pep in yo step. Alan Palomo's voice really is a perfect complement to this brand of dream wave. Take a listen to their latest track No Reasons here. I've been a firm believer since the distortion laced dance pop of Ghosthustler. This guy has an insane amount of talent and drive. There is no doubt VEGA is about to blow up. I read this little news snippet a week or so ago that proves the wheels are definitely in motion. So check them out tonight and rsvp here for $5 entry.

I walk the way the wind blows

Here are a few shots of me taken last week by a fantastic artist and lovely friend. I'm not at liberty to post any details yet but will def provide more once the piece is complete.

FADER party at Speakeasy

Hold the Line Austin! This Friday, July 10, Speakeasy is celebrating it's 12 year anniversary with a mayjah lineup. This is going to be one hell of a dance party! Plus their rooftop is one of the best places to be in the summertime. Most excited to see Major Lazer! Rsvp here asap!

Goodguide: your new best friend

Ever tried to decipher the ingredient list on your daily moisturizer, sunscreen, or even shampoo? It's definitely a foreign language I for one am not privy to. But... I'm a total beauty junkie! I'm a strict disciple of the French philosophy of skincare first makeup second. With recent developments of carcinogens in sunscreens that are activated by sunlight (wtf) now is undoubtedly the time to buck up and get serious about the products in our daily rotation. Well life just got much easier and consequently much healthier thanks to goodguide. This brilliant website has compiled data on over 75,000 products, providing each with a score of 1 to 10 based on its health, environmental, and social impacts. There is even an iPhone application!!!! If all this wasn't magic enough, rumor has it the next version of the iPhone will allow you to simply scan the bar code to get the product's score. Thank you Dr.O’Rourke

Telepathe Tonight at Emo's (inside)

Yes my pop music fix is here in ATX! This is a must as I missed out on them at sxsw. I wasn't about to let that happen again! They have an interesting take on pop that really speaks to the crossover of genres we are encountering in music right now.
Below is an intimate look at their musical vision as well as their wicked selection of gear. Definitely drool worthy drum pads and synths.
