On My Way.

...almost. In a little less than 10 hours I will be on my way to Lancaster to visit Newlywed Kitchen then to New York for the rest of the weekend! I will most likely be MIA but I will absolutely be back Sunday with lots of pictures and stories!

I posted about my weekend trip here. Enjoy YOUR weekend : )

Newlywed Kitchen

Check out my BFF's new blog, Newlywed Kitchen! She is an awesome cook and yes, a newlywed! Need a good recipe? She's your girl! Leave her some love--we all know what it's like when you first start a blog--unless you have hundreds and thousands of followers, most of the time you are pretty positive no one is reading... but sure enough there is always someone who enjoys what you write : )

Here are the newlyweds!

And how lucky am I that I get to see my beautiful best friend TOMORROW! She lives over 3 hours away so we don't see each other as much as we would like--now this blog gives us a chance to stay connected in a different way!

Cameron's Favorite Set Lists

I love this. First off it is no secret that I love Cameron Crown (the writer and director of Almost Famous), and second it is no secret that I love music… especially live music. On his website, theuncool.com, Cameron shows off his absolute favorite set lists. 

I kind of wish I would have thought of this. The more I think about it, set lists are actually really amazing. It’s a piece of paper that captures the night. It lists every song, the order, special notes, and some are pretty beat up by the end of the night—which just adds to their beauty. I usually save all my ticket stubs, but set lists would have helped with the memories.

Here are his favorites (click on the images to enlarge):

All the Girls Are Going to the Canyon.

I don’t even really know where to begin when it comes to the 2012 Spanish Moss editorial. If I could live in these photographs, believe me I would. It is inspired by the legendary Laurel Canyon and all the artists who lived there and used their lyrics to tell its story.

If you’ve never heard of Spanish Moss go check them out—now! They have an awesome site & blog at shopspanishmoss.com filled with photographs, look books, new & vintage items and so much more that will just leave you oozing with inspiration for new looks and envy for all the items shown.

Here are some of my favorite shots from the editorial:

Music Monday

Enjoy the beautiful sounds of Joe Purdy. This is a live version or "Troubadour."

The Boss II

I can't believe I forgot to post about this! A few weeks ago I posted about going to see none other than The Boss himself live in concert. That's right I'm talking about Bruce Springeteen. I've posted about this dreamy American man before (here) and (here) and my love for Bruce is now bigger than before. He played for almost FOUR hours at Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hall and Museum in Oakland. Joe Grushecky & the House Rockers were great as always but Bruce really stole the show. The night was filled with classics, sing-alongs, smiles and just an all-round awesome environment. After each song the audience would scream "BRUCEEEEEE" and he would just smile and contine to rock out. It was unbelieveable hearing about and talking to all the people who came from hours and hours away. In the beginning of the show Bruce gave a shout out to all the people from all over the country, many being from his home state of New Jersey, and there were even a few people from out of the country! It was unreal--the energy and passion lasted the entire night. Seeing Bruce is something I will always remember--and he is every bit as great as I imagined he would be.

The Week Ahead...

I couldn't be more excited for this coming week. First off, I have a four day work week--for the second week in a row. Second I get to see one of my very bestest friends who lives a few hours away. Third I get to finally visit the Museum at Bethel Woods aka the Woodstock Museum & the site of the Woodstock music festival--something I've been wanting to do for years. And fourth, I get to see Dawes & the Levon Helm Band play live at Levon's barn--talk about a dream. I have such high expectations for this weekend and I'm pretty confident that it will be even better than I can imagine. Not to mention I was told there is a "special guest" performing with Levon on Saturday--in the past Warren Haynes and Phil Lesh have stopped by, so I can't wait to find out who he is (yes, it's confirmed that it is a 'he'). 

So these next four days need to hurry up! I will miss this pretty little face this weekend--she was a sleepy girl all day today:
