Autumn Owls - Raindrops in the River

I came across this song today.  I really like the sound of it.  It is a bit ominous and depressing, but I really like it!

Like I wrote in my last post, I did not know my Polyvore account was automatically blogging my Polyvore sets.  I have changed my settings, so not every one of them will go automatically to my blog now.  I figured since I created the "Alice" part of "Alice In Wonderland," why not make a "Mad Hattress" outfit?

I did not realize I had set my Polyvore settings to automatically post on my blog!  Anyway, I will just leave these two posts here since it looks like it has had some views.  For some reason some "Alice In Wonderland" items were recommended as I was creating an this particular set, so I decided to go with it.  A long time ago Tom Petty did a song called, "Don't Come Around Here No More," which he did a music video based on "Alice In Wonderland," hence the title of the set I put together.  I changed my settings back so not every set I create winds up on my blog.  Every once in awhile, I might put something up.  Hope you enjoy them!

Sigh... I Will Miss "Jane By Design"

I just found out earlier today that one of my favorite shows, "Jane By Design" got cancelled after only one season!  I really liked it because it was sort of like "The Devil Wears Prada" meets "Pretty In Pink" and other John Hughes-type films.  It was humorous, and had a great cast.  I think it would have done well if the network gave it a chance.  Anyway, I am going through my weekly fashion withdrawals from the show, so I decided to put a couple of outfits together in Polyvore that kind of give me the sense of what the Jane's style was in the show.  The colors are probably not what she would wear, but I think the style is similar:

Jane's style seemed to get more sophisticated as the show developed.  The outfit on the right shows how she may have dressed earlier in the show, while the style on the left might be how she would dress later in the season.

Current Music Favorites!

I have been enjoying this song while at work on the radio for awhile now, called "We Come Running" by Youngblood Hawke.  So, I was excited to see that it is offered free this week on  iTunes (through Monday, the 20th of August)!

Some other tunes I have been enjoying this month are:

"Too Close" by Alex Clare

"Feel So Close" by Calvin Harris

"Overkill/Hold Me" by Delta Heavy (Originally because I saw this video with a clip of it in it, it only has a small segment of the song, but you get the idea.  The video is funny, too - my favorite part is when he jumps over the fence).



I also regained the love for "Rule the World" by Take That, a song that originally played in the ending credits of the movie "Stardust."  I thought they did a great job at the Olympics performing it, and it was probably my favorite performance at the closing ceremonies.  The Pet Shop Boys performance of "West End Girls" was good as well.  Did it remind anyone else of The Hunger Games, though?  Not that that is a bad thing, really...just curious.
