Read-Watch-Listen

Today is my first installment of what I hope becomes a recurring post on what to Read-Watch-Listen. I am somewhat of an artistic person and love to be swept away from my world through entertainment. For the month of July, here are some of my favorite things that hopefully you will check out.

READ

Still Foolin' 'Em by Billy Crystal
I fell in love with Billy Crystal in When Harry Met Sally. I mean, who didn't? (If you haven't seen it, go find it on Netflix now.) In reading his memoir, there was so much more to discover about his journey in the entertainment business. He truly seems like an amazing person. You will laugh and cry throughout the book. Favorite bookstore find this month.


WATCH

Chasing Life on abc family.
Yes, I know, it is abc family. But surprisingly there can be some entertaining shows on that network. This show deals with a young woman, just starting her career and a new relationship, who finds out she has cancer. A really touching and heartfelt show that I feel has been missing on any network for all ages. Not everything should be about sex, glamour, and blowing stuff up. What happened to real life stories? I digress. Check it out if you have the network...you won't be disappointed.

LISTEN

Ed Sheeran, x

I have been a fan of Ed Sheeran since his debut last year on the radio. He has an interesting folk sound which is a nice change to all the standard pop music of today. A co-worker actually turned me on to his new album which I love. Typically I just pick a few songs off an album, but every song on this one is a gem.


Grey is the new Black




Dress: James Perse (similar here) | Heels: Zara (similar here) | Necklace: Baublebar

James Perse seriously makes the best knit pieces. They are soft, comfortable, and easy to wear. This is an older dress but one of my favorites during the summer. I call it a "grab and go" piece...perfect throw on for transition from pool to dinner out.

Happy 4th




Tank: Target | Skirt: Zara (similar here) | Sandals: Target

Happy 4th! Hope everyone has a safe and fun holiday. :)

For the Red, White and Blue






Top: H&M (similar here) | Skirt: Express (similar here) | Sandals: GoJane (similar here) | Earrings: JewelMint

Already feeling inspired for the upcoming holiday and literally jumping for joy! Dressing festive is easy with any combination of red, white and blue. Now who is ready for fireworks? That would be ME!

Paintbrush

 





Top: Zara | Jeans: Gap | Shoes: ShoeMint | Bag: Steven by Steve Madden | Earrings: Kendra Scott, Nordstrom

What interests me most about prints and graphics is when it mimics art. Zara has some amazing graphic looks like spring utilizing simple brushstroke patterns. This is one of my favorite pieces from the collection due to the pattern and the soft asymmetrical peplum cut. Perfect for spring yet wearable year around.
