Blogger of the Moment

I am a lover of blogs. Design blogs, fashion blogs, love blogs, food blogs, dog blogs...you get the picture. I do not know if it is the pictures or the stories but I just find myself spending a lot of my time reading blogs. After awhile I tend to develop a semi relationship with the person, semi because they have no idea who I am. Recently, I came across a new blog, http://www.llymlrs.com/, and BOY! am I in love.

The blogger is Lily Melrose and shes live in the U.K. and I think we are the same person cut in half and placed on opposite sides of the world. Of course, I am exaggerating but I want you all to see how excited I am. She has a style sense I only wish I could afford or possess the body to have. All in All, she is a lover of style and design and I am never disapointed reading http://www.llymlrs.com/. Please, Please check her out you will not regret it.

Melodic Monday

So this is my first posting of Melodic Monday. My goal with this post is to highlight some sort of musical item, whether it be a great artisit, awesome music video, or another topic pertaining to music. I hope in doing this your and my eyes and ears will be opened to different types of music, because, like they say, music is for the soul.

For my first post I want to bring your attention to an artist I have been following for a couple years now. I first saw her CD at Target and was immediately drawn to it. I don't remember if it was the fiery red hair or the bright yellow shirt, but I suddenly found my self in love with A Fine Frenzy. I immediately bought the CD and listened to it on the drive home and I must say it did not disappoint. The mix of her smooth voice, relaxing piano, and amazing lyrics made me an instant fan. Her first CD One Cell In The Sea spoke of the loss of love and finding yourself in the midst. Her sophomore album Bomb In A Birdcage definitely carries a more carefree spirit sprinkled with a few songs about heartache.

The biggest reason I fell in love with A Fine Frenzy is because you can relate her songs to any area of your life and her natural cuteness helps contribute to her likeability:) All in All, I have never been more happy about an impulse decision in my life. Ladies and Gentlemen, I present A Fine Frenzy.
