Photo-crastination

Posted by on May 8, 2013 | No Comments »


So I would have to say my biggest procrastination attraction would have to be Tumblr. Unlike Pinterest, my brain barely need sto think of where to organize pictures. Does the street style photo fall under this or that. Does a hilarious photo of the Man Repeller fall under Girl Crush (to say the least) or Smitten. You’re right, these problems are a meer fraction of issues I should be concerned about. But thats why Tumblr is my go-to. No thinking, just clicking. Like that? Oh, no problem. Just tap that little reblog post button and next thing you know you have just wasted (or not) an hour of fragile study time. Because if you’re anything like me I’ve been putting all of this nonsense off for quite sometime and now I am buried in a bit of things.

So here you go. A little filtered procrastination, and eye candy for those eyes that have either a) been staring at a book too long or b) dosing off into space for while.

UGH finals…If one more person complains about their lack of sleep or 80 page papers; I may aswell shoot myself. Lets not focus on the negative and start facing the POSITIVE. Its almost summer time baby! I don’t care how long you have been locked in club Fondy. In exactly 11 days from now well all be free, hopefully finding some place sunny to reside. So take a study break from all your stress and focus on the bright side that is SUMMMMMMMMER.

Now in a very selfish way I usually try to hoard my music so people think I’m cool when I have tracks no one else knows. HOWEVER in this extreme case I wish no longer to conceal these songs to myself.  Working out, pre-gamming or straight raging no matter, these tracks will not let you down.

 

Alive : Empire  Of The Sun

 

The Knocks : Modern hearts

 

Hail Mary: K.flay

 

Stomp Yo Shoes: Aston shuffle

 

Into the Future (The Aston Shuffle Remix) : Bunny Lake

 

 

Virtual Riot : Idols (EDM Mashup)

 

Vanilla : Suede

 

Van O : Gravitron

 

wolfgang gartner : Space Junk OVERWERK Remix (wait for the drop 2:00)

 

Nicolas Jaar : With Just One Glance You (Such a sexy song)

Cabana..The chic-est lil boutique in Dallas

Posted by on April 18, 2013 | No Comments »


With Coachella coming up, my last minute scramble to find an outfit has not been very successful..until I stumbled into Cabana. Its like a little piece of St.Barts and South Hampton combined and plopped down on Lovers Lane. Located in a discrete little house past the Eatzi’s. Cabana is a mecca filled with chic summer time clothing, shoes, and jewelry. There hours are a bit odd so make sure you catch them at the right time…I guarantee you a shopping success.

Happy Shopping

Festival Fashion: Coachella is here!

Coachella-2013-1

I have to admit…. I’ve never attended Coachella (I will one day, I swear it) even without tickets I look forward to this festival every year. Why you may ask? Simply put, the fashion.

Many celebrities (like Rita Ora, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Katy Perry, to name a few) attend clad in the most fashionable festival wear. Not only celebrities, but all attendees alike don their trendiest warm weather gear -including many SMU students.

This is unlike any other festival out there…Coachella brings high fashion. Yes the free spirit aspect is still there, with plenty of fringe, ankle boots, and cut-offs, but in an original way.

The best part is, you get to see everyone’s personal style and not just the trends that are most popular at the moment.

With killer bands, brings killer outfits.

SMUstyle + To & From

Posted by on April 17, 2013 | 2 Comments »

We are so excited that the lovely ladies, Katie and Meg, from To & From Magazine ask SMUstyle to participate in their Spring 2013 Gift Guide Issue. If you’ve never heard of To & From, well, you have been missing out. It’s definitely the magazine/gift guide of our time. Each issue (their previous issues include a Holiday and Valentine’s Day Gift Guide) incorporates a variety of gift categories made from what bloggers are currently coveting or what they would buy their bff for Graduation/Christmas/Valentines Day. What makes this ultimate gift guide the best is because each image links you right to the product. It’s brilliant. So say adios to the “I hate buying gifts” because you “never know what to get someone”.  To & From has done it all for you. All you have to do is just click here and there (and believe you’ll be gift-guiding for quite some type, this online mag is addicting to flip through)

The Spring 2013 Issue includes a whole bunch of goodies for not only Graduates, but also Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Weddings, Baby Showers and Birthday. So go ahead and check it out. Graduation is exactly month away from tomorrow (wow. that just made me feel weird inside) and hey, for all you graduates this can also work as a wish list if your still debating what you might ask for this big accomplishment.
