Girl Crush // Suzanne Ford Carafano of Spanish Moss

Swoon! No surprise over here that I have had a major girl crush on Suzanne Ford Carafano of Spanish Moss since I started following her on Myspace back in the day. Her look, her attitude, her style...she has been an inspiration of mine for years, and seems like a super rad chick! I frequently stalk the Spanish Moss blog and always look forward to seeing what Suzanne is wearing and where she is wearing it to. I stumbled across a post on the Foam Magazine blog with these photos of Suzanne and yep, love them all! 

I mean come on floral bell bottoms, geo print maxi and studs! Yes, please!

Forget Your Friends // Slow Burning Summer

Hello hello! For those of you that follow me on twitter I am sure you have seen me mention that my handsome Mr. has been working on a new music project with his new band Forget Your Friends. The experimental indie trio has been hitting the studio since July to put together their debut EP featuring their first single, Slow Burning Summer.

This is really special for me to see my Mr. and his vision come to light. He started writing these songs back in March of 2010 and the entire process has morphed into something that fits more perfectly planned. I am so proud of him and his band and I cannot wait for their EP to be finished! In the mean time get your fix with Slow Burning Summer! xoxo
