Your Head and Your Heart by The Saint Johns

I found this song on a recommended playlist for astronomyy, it’s heartbreakingly beautiful. My eyes are locked to you and I’m fallingYour hands are coldYou say that your mind’s made upAnd I should go But maybe your head is not where your heart isI’ll sleep alone tonightAnd if our bones can stand to be apartThen […]

astronomyy Releases New EP

I found astronomyy on a music playlist by This is Glamorous almost a year ago–they released a new EP, When I’m With U, yesterday.  This EP couldn’t have been released at a better time. At one point, astronomyy’s first EP, There for U, was a soundtrack to my life. I’d imagine that When I’m With […]

To Ü by Skrillex and Diplo (feat. AlunaGeorge)

I finally jumped on the SoundCloud bandwagon and I don’t know why I haven’t been using it until now. One of my favorite blogs, This is Glamorous, shares their weekend playlists using SoundCloud–in fact, through this blog, I fell in love with astronomy.  Even though Diplo was recently under fire in M.I.A.’s interview, this album […]

#icanteven feat. French Montana

#icanteven is off of The Neighbourhood’s #000000 & #FFFFFF Mixtape. It’s a bit of a departure from their usual stuff, but I think it suits them. This music video dropped two weeks ago:

Not That Kind of Girl by Lena Dunham

After finishing reading Lena Dunham’s book, I’m still deciding how I feel about it.  I did enjoy reading it… I think.  As a millennial, reading this book requires a self-reflection. There were several times where I felt frustrated with Dunham’s vignettes, the same way I had grown accustomed being annoyed with Hannah’s character on Girls, […]

Love Me Like You Do by Ellie Goulding

I have no intention of watching the Fifty Shades of Grey film, just like I have no intention of reading the books. And because I have elected to avoid Christian and Anastasia’s story, I don’t have the right to really pass too much judgment over it… The one positively good thing about the Fifty Shades […]

Nor’easter Essentials

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few days, there’s a huge blizzard hitting the Northeast.  Like every other person in Newport, I did my due diligence and stocked up on my groceries last night and this morning. While I was food shopping, I found it really interesting to see what other […]

Outside by Calvin Harris feat. Ellie Goulding

My love for Ellie Goulding (and Calvin Harris, I suppose) is beyond words. After watching this music video, I’m thinking about highlighting my hair super blonde again… Look at what you’ve done Stand still, falling away from meWhen it takes so longFire’s out, what do you want to be? Now I’m holding onMyself was never […]

Author of Eiffel’s Tower to Speak at Rosecliff

It’s been one year since I studied abroad in Paris. I miss it–a lot–and it’s gotten to the point where I am searching every online calendar to find out about any event related to French culture. Thankfully, in Newport, events for Francophiles are fairly easy to come across–I suppose that’s what happens when you live […]

Yes Please by Amy Poehler

Considering the last book I read was Paris by Edward Rutherfurd last summer, I’ve been in dire need of more time and a lighter read. My brother Dylan passed Yes Please onto me after he finished it–he told me it was funny and easy to read. Just what I was looking for. The book did not […]
