The Fratellis

I haven't listened to The Fratellis in a while, so I thought of playing Costello Music on my way to work this morning.

This song...

Nail polish

I'm so into nail polish right now. I bought a few bottles over the weekend when I went shopping for Christmas gifts, and I plan on buying a couple more plus some nail art tools after work today. I'm thinking of "designing" my nails for the Lakers-Bulls match on Christmas day. I hope it turns out good.

But what I'm really lusting after these days are metallic shades...

Travel shopping bag

Because I take my love of travel anywhere with me, even to shopping...

Toro y Moi

Finally, someone I'd definitely pay to see live! You don't let chances like this go by, especially not in a place where it's always pop acts and balladeers that come and play. What can I say, it sucks to have exceptional taste in music in this country.

I leave you now with one of my favorite Toro Y Moi tracks:

There are places I remember: Barcelona

Bright and early for the first La Liga classico. It's times like these that make me nostalgic for the city of Barcelona. I really wouldn't have left if only I had a choice.

One day I swear, I will go back to Barcelona and stay forever. MARK.MY.WORDS. 

New addiction

Whoever came up with Instagram is a genius! It's amazing how a simple photo app can be this fun and engrossing. So much so that I spend more time now on my Iphone than on any other device. Even my reading has taken a backseat to instagramming, which is kind of unfortunate now that I think about it. But, whatever!

Also on Instagram? Come, let's be friends! (username: jgeverywhere)

Asos

Asos is one of my favorite online boutiques. I love that their products are ultra chic and aren't as pricey as their quality would suggest. But since I'd like to try on clothes and make sure I look and feel good in them before buying, I just go there mostly to snoop around and have a look at the pretty garments they sell...

If only we had winter here

Wanderlusting: Christmas edition

All I want for Christmas is a plane ticket to any (or all! Hee!) of these cities:

Berlin, Germany (via)

Stockholm, Sweden (via)

Moscow, Russia (via)

Copenhagen, Denmark (via)

Edinburgh, Scotland (via)

Ya think you can give me that, Santa? 

Not your typical christmas carols

"Tis the Season" for sharing, so today I share with you some of my favorite Christmas tracks. Here's a mix of covers and originals by The Bird and The Bee, The Raveonettes, Clinic, and more!

Happy holidays! :)

Hammock

My fantasy is to retire early on the Mediterranean island of Malta where I would spend the rest of my days in a hammock, undisturbed, unaware of time's passing, and with just the sound of the ocean and the swishing of trees in my ears. 

What I wouldn't give for a life like that!

Weekend playlist # 1

I have no plans for the weekend besides getting some much-needed R&R. It's just me, my bed, and exactly the perfect playlist for lazing away...

Wanderlusting

The only place where I want to be right now is the beach. The heat is so intense these days, it doesn't feel like November at all!

Oh, to be in Bora Bora on this hot Sunday afternoon...

There are places I remember: Roma

Last night I dreamt of me and two of my friends planning a getaway to one of my favorite places in the world: the majestic city of Rome! The best part was, the trip would only cost us 45 Euros! Now that's the kind of dreams you wish were real! Haha! I woke up midway through so I don't know if we made it to Rome. I'd like to think we did!

Why don't they make movies like Before Sunrise anymore?

Someday when I become rich...

I'm going to live in a house like this:

*long and dreamy sigh*

Inspiration: vintage fashion

I would love to live in the 40s, when women dressed that way! Elegance that is clearly lacking today.
