So we burst into colors, colors and carousels.

You know when you just love a video but aren't so sure about the songs. These are two perfect examples. The videos are amazing--brilliant color, beautiful women, and how I basically imagine my life on film. Yet, totally bogus songs (or at least they haven't rubbed off on me quite yet). Oh well, that's why they created mute.

Paris Hilton's single Good Time.


Ellie Goulding's newest release Goodness Gracious.

Ohhh

I love this. all of this.



Rudimental's Baby. yummmyyyy.

Even if I want to get to you.

The beautiful Cheyenne Tozzi has turned from model to musician and I couldn't be happier. Van Hoorn is my latest discovery and I can't stop. Reach You is unreal.


Oh and listen to Birdy. It'll steal your heart.

Get high, hit the floor before you go.

All I want is for it to be Sunday!!

I am in love with Alt-J (∆). It might be an issue or maybe it's Something Good.

When you're giving me such sweet nothing.

Oh man, Sweet Nothing is the essence of my love life. Sadly enough, I relate like no other to this absolutely amazing Calvin Harris & Florence Welch beat—dang it.

At least it makes me want to dance! Molly's got some competition ;)


Since having been introduced to Alt-J (∆) with Breezeblocks, I can't help but be seduced by their other songs. Tessellate has such a sensual, sexual sound; I love it. Eargasms galore!!

Ahhh the best!!

This is fantastic!!! HAHAHAHA I love it. I never would have thought I would have enjoyed this so much.
Awesome job Harvard baseball boys!

Call me, maybe? Oh we'll be calling.


But hey, Carly Rae Jepsen is pretty darn cute too.
Thanks for the intro Lloyd. Miss you fool!

I heart hungry hungry hippos.

Oh my!! I love this. Not only is Get By a sick song by Delta Heavy. This video is ridiculously cool. Visualizing the beats through board games is unique and pretty much the epitome of me. I flipping love board games!

Change the world one smile at a time.

Love love love this man. Free To Be Me!! Dance like no one is watching, it will change your life.


Too Close by Alex Clare is wonderful! Makes me feel good. Makes me feel powerful.

My next big adventure!

Oh yes. What I would give to try this rope swing!

Can I be close to you?

I really miss blogging and thought this video was the perfect piece for my return. The Paper Kites sound is impeccable. Just listen to them Bloom!

If only I could listen.

8 Important Things to Learn About Relationships from Knowing When To Walk Away From Unrequited Love:

1. If there is a feeling better than love, I have not felt it. Take the risk and dive in with everything you have. 

2. Enjoy the good times together as they are happening and be grateful for them.

3. Stay out of the future and in the moment. Now is certain. 

4. Protect both your heart and your partner’s, whether the love is still there or not. We are human and we deserve kindness. We don’t need to add to the burdens we already carry by hurting others. Trust me, it doesn’t make things better. 

5. If your relationship starts to crumble, know when to put it down and let it be. Don’t grind it into dust. 

6. You cannot continue to give to another person when you are not at your best; when you are so broken, so beaten down that you have no energy left. When talking has failed and words no longer have meaning, this is when you know it is over. When you feel like this, you have to do what is best for the relationship and for each other and wave the white flag to avoid further damage. 

7. Some things just won’t work, no matter how badly we wish they would. Sometimes the match that felt so right just isn’t. Please don’t do more damage to your heart by trying to fix something that has past its expiration date. It will leave you raw. 

8. It is okay to walk away from something that hurts you. It doesn’t require blame or justification. It just requires you to stop fanning the flames. You will find love again, and next time it will feel better.

We don't have it anymore.

Not any longer...

So this weekend I was very excited to see the dashing Robert Pattinson's film. Sadly enough Breaking Dawn was definitely not as thrilling and wonderful as I had hoped for. It wasn't bad though, I just pictured something different.
You know, this might have been because there was this specific movie preview I watched that was pretty epic. It allowed for a short, sweet, and absolutely hilarious introduction to the film, plus a little something extra was added: a cool new character... how could the film possibly top that?



Not gonna lie, hearing this song in the credits might have been my favorite part of the whole film too... Actually, I take that back... the moment where Edward Cullen breaks the bed when they are having sex was completely unforgettable! Ohhhh myyyy.

And I thought night swimming was fun.

This is what surfing is all about. Just listen to the accents. Yum.

I get lost in my mind too.

The Head and the Heart... this is beautiful! Brings a smile to my face.

We found love.

Isn't that the truth. 

I'm not a top 40's girl but I really do like this video's story and style. My only wish was that Rihanna's on-screen love interest were more believable.

Skiing Jaws!

No way. This is legit!

What an inspiration.

I love this man, not only because we have such similar last names but, because he does what he loves and stands for something he believes in.


On October 16, I had the pleasure of meeting David "Rasta" Rastovich (thanks to a little push from a friend) at an amazing event celebrating his TransparantSea Voyage. We also got a sneak preview of his wonderful film Minds in the Water. It was very entertaining and his love for the ocean and it's precious creatures shined through. Dave is truly something.



The party was great and the art there was fantastic (I really wish I would have bid on a piece!). I also realized how much I truly do love the surf culture. Everyone there was so laid back and easy going but also unique with their own personal styles. They either had on the cutest glasses you've ever seen or the best plaids you can buy and I loved every second of it. My favorite moment was when the pro surfer Chris Del Moro started to show off his moves on the dance floor with his lady friend. Adorable.

Dana Point is awesome.

If only I could get this excited.

She is the cutest thing in the world and it makes me so happy to see how much she appreciates all she has. The happiness Disneyland brings to people is unreal.

And who couldn't appreciate this little girl's love for Nicki Minaj. I'm impressed.

I'm pretty sure I will always be a kid at heart.

It's-a-me, Mario.

I would tweak this a bit myself but it's definitely a cool marketing scheme and it involves surfing... so why not.

Almost made it.. not quite.

Happy people are successful.

Here's Richard St. John's 3+ minute take on the 8 Secrets of Success. Simple, right?


I also really want to read Gretchen Rubin's The Happiness Project!

Sydney it is.

Let's run away together.

Yes, I like.

Simply rad.

Face paint eskimo kisses, snails, & bubbles.

All my favorite things. What more could I ask for from a music video, or three.

Walk the Moon's happy, hipster video for "Anna Sun". Not gonna lie, I was pleasantly surprised by the second half of this.


The snails, butterflies, and chameleons sell me on Patrick Wolf's video for "House"!

I simply love this video. My little brother Barry loves the Bar 9 Remix of Example's "Kickstarts" but this is pretty great.

Be my lover. My lady river.

I wanna hold her. I wanna kiss her. She smelled of daisies.
She smelled of daisies. She drive me crazy.

I miss Angus & Julia Stone so much. Listening revival ♥

Forever. It's not as long as you think.

Life is so short. Please make the best of it.


The concept behind Falling Girl is simple and beautiful. We find ourselves constantly looking for the next best thing, whether it's a new floor, a cooler party, a better partner. If we never allow ourselves to be happy with what we have, we could quite possibly grow old and have nothing in the end. Don't just settle but when you find something great, go with it! Let life happen.


I like the idea behind Forever's Not So Long. It's crazy but what if you only had 4 hours to live. What would you do?

Explore. Dream. Discover.

"Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said that it'd be easy, they just promised it would be worth it."

I'm excited for school to start up again but I have to admit, my summer was exceptionally good. The wonderful vacations, working, and all the hanging out made it pretty superb.

Instagr.am says it all...

Woah, I'm in love.

So so so good. I could watch skateboarding like this all day. And I mean, ALL DAY.

Skateboard shades.

Too cool. Shwood makes these sweet shades from broken skateboards.

Jewels.

Players only love you when they're playing.

Best thing I've seen in awhile... as you can tell I haven't been on here much lately.

Kiersten Holine's cover of Fleetwood Mac is flawless ♥
