I’ve downloaded on iTunes in the last month.

1. This Kiss by Carly Rae Jepsen

This song is upbeat, fun, and extremely catchy.  Imagine that, Carly Rae Jepsen coming up with a cathy tune…

2. Feel Again by OneRepublic

This song caught me by surprise.  It’s got just of rhythmic pulsing quality.  I love the positive nature of the lyrics.  It always motivates me when I’m out for a run!

3. Beauty and a Beat by Justin Bieber feat. Nicki Minaj

The Biebs is hit and miss with me, but if he pairs up with Nicki Minaj, I’m in.  This is another fun song that keeps my workout mix fresh.

4. Anything Could Happen by Ellie Goulding

Ellie Goulding is a little more alternative than my typical playlist, but I happen to love every single she puts outs.  It’s just so catchy but soothing at the same time.

5. Sail by AWOLNATION

I actually heard this song in my pilates class the other day.  I immediately googled it with the lyrics I remembered and bought it.  It definitely adds a little intensity to my playlist.

Usually I download a lot more rap and hip hop, but recently I’ve really been digging some of these songs like Feel Again, Anything Could Happen, and Sail that have a whole different vibe to them.  I’m not 100% sure what genre it would be.  I guess alternative on the verge of a euro techno kind of thing.  Whatever it is, these are my jams at the moment.

PS- I’ve been hanging out in PA during my winter break from school.  I’m basically living among hundreds of deer, many of whom are not shy at all about having breakfast in our back yard as I drink my morning smoothie in the kitchen.  My view from the kitchen window every morning:by all means, help yourself

I’m digging in Fall fashion trends.  I need more of this in my closet:

1. Blazers like this one from Ann Taylor

2. Sweatshirt Chic like this top from Loft

3. Striped Shirts like this one from JCrew

4. Maroon and Marigold like this skirt and dress from Banana

5. Slipper Loafers like these brown leather ones from Anthro, or leopard ones from Banana

What are you adding to your closet this fall?

I learned this Summer (and some pics from Fenway):

1. The only thing that cleans glass is glass cleaner.  In my attempt to economize on cleaning supplies in my 3-month apartment lease I tried using a couple multi-surface cleaners on my bathroom mirror.  There were so many streaks and haziness that I could barely see myself.  Windex: is a good idea.2. I can actually live and breathe without having a TV in my apartment.  Who knew?  But I do love and greatly miss my TV that stayed in Virginia.  I will see it again soon!  I was extra sad not to have a TV during the Olympics.

3.  That being said, I did discover that The WB releases five re-runs of Gilmore Girls every week online, which made a great addition to my weeknight routine.  They do them in sequence so we started the summer finishing up the last season, and then started again from the first season.  It  was so relevant because the Gilmore Girls live in CT and the grandfather works in insurance just like me!  Connecticut is the insurance capital of the country!

4. I went to a baseball game at Fenway and learned something new about baseball.  Between innings the catcher from the bullpen comes out and warms up the right fielder.  Otherwise, the right fielder wouldn’t have a buddy to play catch with.  I think it’s kind of cute.  I’m not sure if this is specific to Fenway or the teams that were playing but it was the first time I noticed it.

5. I can do whatever I set my mind to.

PS- Check out my friend Elizabeth’s blog, I had a guest post on it yesterday!
