As a girl that struggles putting together appropriate and chic outfits for the office, I can truly appreciate the advice given on the WorkChic blog. Unlike other working girl blogs, they cover a variety of different budgets as well as different levels of formality from casual to professional and everything in between. My difficulties stem from having to put together business casual outfits while knowing that I will be working with children. Plus, I tend to gravitate more towards the “fun clothes” while shopping. Hopefully by putting WorkChic on my list of favorite blogs, I can be inspired to be one hot office fashionista 😉 [Read more…]

Billy Corgan gets mangry

So the Pumpkins decided to release a subscription service, which included videos from the studio, unreleased material, and vintage goodies all for $40 for 12 consecutive weeks. It sounded great to me so I signed up as being interested. Yesterday I received a “mangry” email from the man himself addressed to the 6,000 of us that thought this was a good idea.

Apparently the rest of the fans were outraged by the idea of paying for a subscription because they felt it was just another ploy by Corgan to drain the fans of their money so he could stuff it in his pockets. This, in turn, made Corgan feel less than “full of light & love” and more disappointed with the feelings of his fans and I think the music industry as a whole at this moment.

Weekend Highlights

Friday night I was lucky enough to join the AgencyNet gang for a night of fun, which was all put together by the chairman of awesomeness, Omar. Seriously. That’s his title. The night consisted of pizza, booze and Monsters vs. Aliens 3D at the IMAX theater! I have to say that the movie was not the most spectacular thing in the world, but it was cute. The 3D really didn’t give it that much of a boost either. I would probably recommend a rental for this one. Although I’m pretty much in love with Insectasaurus, that big crazy looking thing in the photo above. I couldn’t help but think of my baby Boston, Gwen (if you know her, you understand). On that note, I move on to Saturday…

The show that took New York City by storm is finally making its way to Miami. FuerzaBruta is described as being “a non-stop collision of dynamic music, visceral emotion and kinetic aerial imagery.” The audience are active members in the performance with the majority of the action taking place inches above their heads. Intrigued, right? I know I am! I hope to be able to pick up some tickets to see this infamous show at the Adrienne Arsht Center. If you want to as well, click here!

Spotlight: Metric

This band is definitely not new to the scene, but they are new to my scene! So I figured I would share the wealth!

My good friend, Roxy, introduced me to Metric last week and I haven’t been able to pry myself away from their albums since. They have this infectious indie-pop sound that keeps their songs on repeat for days on end.

Their new album, Fantasies, took quite a while to come out but the time spent is definitely appreciated when listening through some of the tracks such as Help I’m Alive, Stadium Love and Sick Muse. Frontwoman, Emily Haines, states that the title of the album is meant to represent those of the unattainable variety as well as evoke a “dream-like quality,” which is definitely evident.

Metric has the ability to both put you at peace and make you want to rock out. Could you want anything better?
Check out their new video for Gimme Sympathy, which was all shot in one take!
