Music Monday: 2NE1's I Love You

I've developed a love affair with K-pop since college. The music is beyond catchy and the fashion is something to just be amazed by. Sometimes you just cringe at the outfits, but sometimes you're just in awe. I personally love 2NE1 and this song is their latest - it's the perfect pick-me-up for the beginning of the week!

With hearts,

I love love love mashups, especially when it involves Notorious B.I.G. This recent mashup of Lana del Rey and Notorious BIG, BORN READY TO DIE, is pretty good, but it can't beat the one with the xx from a while back... What's your favorite mashup?

Anyways, in the midst of listening away, I got inspired by what I'd wear if I'd ever go to a concert where these two would be performing...I know, impossible! I'm seriously in love with Dannijo's necklace...so statement and so colorful/whimsical. I'd definitely wear red lipstick if I'd ever meet Lana del Rey, which brings me to Tom Ford's lipstick in the perfect red shade. Enjoy the set!

Happy Listening!

With hearts,
Janet

Inspired: Yeasayer

Inspired by Yeasayer by missrockcouture featuring skull jewelry

Music has pretty much been playing in the background of everyday of my life. This soundtrack has changed its course so many times but Yeasayer will always be one of my favorite bands. It's original, the lyrics are beautiful, and there is just something artistic and real about their performance. Anyways, this outfit is inspired by the group. From their album design and stage persona, comes these badass supernova embossed shorts and Betsey Johnson's almost dragonfly wing appearing boots. The bag and coat is totally from the music. And hence a revelation, I think that Mary Katrantzou's coat is the total perfect embodiment of what Yeasayer would be, in coat form. Yes, that's a pretty weird statement.

So check out this video: (LOVE IT!)

Wake me up!

 I have never felt jet lagged. Not once when flying seventeen hours from LA to Bangkok nor when traveling twenty-four hours flying the most round-a-bout route from the Caribbean to LA. But daylight savings was yesterday and I still feel lost. I'm waking up an hour later than I'm supposed to and I need to get over this! Anyways, here's a song that's waking me up. It is MIA's Bad Girls.

Happy Monday!

With hearts,
Janet
