What We Listen To: Lazy Sunday Music
Sunday, March 25th, 2012There’s something about coming home from a trip. You wake up with brand new eyes and this inexplicable energy. You’re tired and energized at the same time. All I want to do today is relish what’s left of my weekend and remember how beautiful the past four days have been.
Here’s a mix of songs that are perfect for just lounging around. I hope you girls had an awesome weekend. Happy summer Sunday!
Love,
Macy

What We Signed Up for: Pinterest
Saturday, March 17th, 2012I used to have a cork board on my office desk filled with random stuff: photos from events, to-do lists, notes from friends. But it got stowed away when we transferred to a new building. These days, there are so many means of putting up an inspiration board, but my favorite by far has got to be Pinterest. I love going through random pins on my feed and creating my own boards. When I’m stuck in a rut, I can just browse this site and get inspired instantly!
Just recently, I signed Candy up for Pinterest. It seemed like a good idea (like all the other things I volunteer to sign up for, hahaha!) and look how pretty our page looks:
If you’re on Pinterest, follow us! We’d also love to see your pins! (:
Love,
Macy

What We Make: Summer Playlists
Sunday, March 11th, 2012Whenever I go out of town, I make sure my iPod is full to the brim with new songs. This year, I’ve taken two trips already (fun!) and there’s another one due before the end of the month (with the Candy Girls!), so it’s no surprise my trusty gadget is packed with random songs I heard from TV shows or bands I discovered online. Here are some tunes you might enjoy listening to when you take a road trip or jet set to an international destination:
1) “I Fell in Love” – Whitton
This is a light, whimsical tune sung by a girl who feels giddy in love. I first heard it for a Gossip Girl promo on Dair, but there’s a cute Chair compilation featuring the same track here.
2) “Titanium” – David Guetta feat. Sia
Sia is hands down one of my favorite female artists (I love how vulnerable her voice sounds) and her collaboration with David Guetta is fun and empowering, especially the lines that go: “You shoot me down, but I won’t fall. I am titanium.” Watch the official MV here.
3) “Tongue Tied” – Grouplove
Love this song’s intro, the upbeat chorus, and the fun vibe this indie band exudes. Even their video to the song has a trippy wackiness to it.
4) “Diet Mountain Dew” – Lana del Rey
Lana has been described as a gangsta Nancy Sinatra, and her tunes really have a lot of swagger. My favorite of hers is “Video Games,” but this seems more like a fitting summer tune. Listen to the remix by Tommy Noble.
5) “Sweet Dreams” – The Grates
This energetic Aussie duo’s music video showcases an explosion of color (literally). It’s a bit morbid, but all in all crazy fun!
What songs are you planning to blast in your speakers or earphones this summer? Share them with me! I love discovering new music.

What We Listen To: Chris Carrabba and The Cab
Friday, March 9th, 2012The other day, Mimi and I got to go to Smash Project’s press con featuring Chris Carrabba of Dashboard Confessional, The Used, and The Cab. We were bummed that Cobra Starship weren’t there, but we were psyched to meet the other bands, too.
A lot of people know Chris Carrabba as the frontman of Dashboard Confessional (“Hands Down,” anyone?), but my brother also introduced me to his other band Further Seems Forever. So I was thrilled to hear Chris confirm that he was working on a new album with Further! Listen to an acoustic version of “New Year’s Project” here:
As for The Cab, they were familiar to me because Pretty Little Liars‘ Lucy Hale used to date one of them and one of their songs was included in The CW’s Serena van der Woodsen playlist. Check out this retro video with Hey Monday’s Cassadee Pope:
Did any of you catch the show last night? How was it? Spill in the comments below! We heard Gabe Saporta’s pants ripped onstage! Eep.
Love,
Macy
