So I guess that was a Summer Hiatus

Yeah, about that whole keeping up writing over the summer... Didn't really work out... However, now I am back and filled with music and fashion and beauty goodness that can only described as fall. Allow me to explain. Fall is my favorite season. I am sunlight challenged (light hair, freckles, propensity to turn an unflattering shade of red). So, fall is when I shine, less sun, more sweaters, darker lipstick.

This brings me to my first point. Darker lipstick. Gloss is gross, your hair gets caught in it, and it makes your lips slimy, and generally reminds me of 5th grade. Lipstick on the other hand, requires skill in application and what takes longer looks better. I have however found that my new beauty love is the marker lip stain. Again, precision application is needed for the dark colors, but the impact is gorgeous and it lasts (like past coffee, and lunch, and flirty lip biting). My personal favorite is the Revlon version which comes with a lip balm in the other end.

Perfect, a must buy just like a pair of killer boots I found at Urban Outfitters. While these definitely pushed my price range, I literally could not help myself. I circled for like 15 minutes looking for an illusive UO sales associate just to try them on. That is seriously a chore. I mean please, I know you are a hipster and are too good for a visible name tag but I almost asked 3 other customers for my size 9. OU sales people step up your ridiculous outfits, look less bored, or get better name tags.

One cannot speak of hipsters without then pushing some new music, and oh boy am I excited about this part. First off the basic hipster move, the new Sufjan Stevens All Delighted People EP. Personally, most EPs aren't 60 minutes long and have 8 songs, kind of seems like an LP to me. However, for 5 dollars, it is amazing and I can't fight the genius... Go, Buy, Listen, Enjoy.

Next hipster move, naming someone you haven't (well hopefully) hear of, Gobble Gobble has a hilarious name and amazing electronic to match. I have only listened to 2 of their songs, but they were so good I am hunting down more. Try out Eat Sun Son.

Finally, something obvious the new Kanye song. Yeah collaboration with Bon Iver caught my eye, but Nicki Minja makes it for me (well and it reminds me of Halloween). Check it out at Stereogum.

Okay, hiatus over.
