Music Spotlight: Coasts

As some of you may know from reading some of my previous blog posts, you know that I love the show Made in Chelsea. One of the things I love most about it is how good the music on the show is. Recently while watching one of the episodes, I discovered the band Coasts and fell in love. Coasts is a small English rock band from Bristol. Formed in 2011, the band has been making some serious waves (no pun intended). They recently started touring the country with Bad Suns and I was lucky enough to see them perform live for the first time in America a few weeks ago. Coasts has been compared to a young Coldplay quite recently, and I definitely agree. Their sound is fun and infectious. Their hit single "Oceans" has been played on Soundcloud over 4 million times and the number just keeps growing. They will also be playing at Coachella in a couple of months, which I am extremely excited about!

My favorite songs are Oceans, Let Go, and Wallow.

Be sure to check them out because they are so sweet and so talented!!

Road Less Traveled

I’m not sure what I’ll do, but I want to go places, and see people. I want my mind to grow. I want to live where things happen on a big scale.

I've always been an extremely deep thinker. Thinking and interpreting things that not many people of my age care about. My thoughts have always been out of the ordinary for anyone who has a suburban mindset. From a very young age, I knew I wanted to take the road less traveled. I knew I didn't want to play anything safe.

I recently came across an outline for a novel that I wanted to write about 7 years ago… 7 years ago? Yes, I wanted to write a novel when I was 10 years old. The main character was a girl named Beth who was 18 years old. The further I got to reading, I realized that I had modeled Beth as the person who I wanted to be in the future. She was curious, endearing, smart, independent and strong. She wanted to travel across the world to study journalism in London… Reading the outline made me emotional because it made me realize that I have had the same dream for years, and now I'm finally trying to make that happen.

As leaving home is getting even closer, more and more people I know are starting to believe that I am genuinely crazy for wanting to pick up my whole life and move to another country. But, it always leaves me wondering why they think I'm so strange. When people ask me why I want to move, I always answer with the same thing, "Why the hell not? I want to explore and experience a different culture, meet new people and have new adventures."

If I wanted to be comfortable my whole life, then I wouldn't have experienced nearly half of the things I have in my life so far. I don't want to regret not taking chances. I want to see things that open my mind to the rest of the world. I don't want to play it safe and have a white-picket fence life. I want to have a crazy adventurous life where I never know what exciting thing is going to happen next.

My parents have always told me never to stop dreaming. And I always tell them, "Don't worry. I never will."

If you have something you have always wanted to do, go for it. There is a lot more regret in not trying than in trying.

Coachella 2015 Lineup Announced

It's that time of year again! The time when the Coachella lineup is officially announced. I was awaken this morning by an update from Coachella's twitter and was extremely excited, but then a little bit let down when I saw it. Don't get me wrong, I'm more than excited to see George Ezra, Alt-J, Florence & The Machine, Royal Blood, Milky Chance and many more, but in contrast to the last few years, this lineup is a bit of a let down. Regardless of that, I'm still really excited to be attending Weekend 1. Headliners include ACDC, Jack White and Drake.

The festival with be taking place on April 10-12 and April 17-19, in Indio, California.

Be on the lookout in the next few months for Coachella fashion posts on here.

For more information about Coachella, be sure to check out their website!

P.S. Tickets for the general public come on sale tomorrow! So be ready!!!

2015 New Years Resolutions

I always have a long list of New Years resolutions, but I usually only manage to tackle about half of them. This new year, I plan on trying to finish all of them. So here they are!

1. Minimize & Maximize my closet. (By this, I mean, minimizing the amount of clothes that I have, but maximizing the quality of everything. Such as a good quality pair of jean and a leather jacket instead of having 10 pairs of crappy jeans.)

2. Become more organized. (With London fast approaching, I really need to organize and plan things a bit better. I admit, I can be very messy and all over the place majority of the time.)

3. Stop being so preoccupied with others opinion of me. (We have heard it time and time again, but I really want to stop spending so much of my time worrying about others. It is my life, not theirs.)

4. Worry less. (Similar to #3. This is very vague, but is certainly needed.)

5. Go on daily walks around the city. (Now that I'm moving to a new place, discovering more of the city is high up on my to do list. With this resolution, I'll be getting exercise and exploring.)

Last but not least...

6. DO MORE LOOKBOOKS!!! (I was most proud of this blog when I was in London, doing lookbooks every day. So be on the look out for many more of them in 2015!)

I would love to hear your New Years resolutions! So let me know down below!
