"Watch the Throne", more like watch my mouth

I am SO glad I didn't post this when I had originally written it; I had no idea what I was talking about.

Originally I wanted to say something about Kanye West and his Pichfork rated 10 out of 10 album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. I had planned on saying that the bar was set too high and he could never accomplish that again. I was prepared to call Watch the Throne "really good".

Shame on me.

I bought the deluxe version of the Jay-Z and Kanye West masterpiece on iTunes (that's right, I still buy my music). It's been on repeat on my iPhone since the purchase. Every single time I listen to this album I find another reason to love it.

Initially my favourite song was Why I Love You, which is easily the catchiest song on the album, but after countless listens, I can no longer pick a fav.

The songs I find myself listening to over and over are (in no particular order) Lift off, Welcome to the Jungle, H*a*m and Ni**as in Paris.

In honour of last night's huge announcement that Jay-Z and Beyonce are expecting their first bebe, here is Lift Off.

Whatever you like...

I was recently tweeting about my love of Anya Marina, and since I still can't get this song out of my head, I think it's time to sentence others to the same fate as me. Misery enjoys company, although this song is anything but miserable.

If this sounds familiar it's because you probably already know the song. It had huge radio play a few years ago when rapper T.I. first released this hit (with a very different sound). You can check out the original here.

My New Fav Colour

Now that it finally feels like summer around here, it's time for a fun new nail polish. 

I am obsessing over OPI's "Pinking of you". 


I'm rocking this colour on my toes as I type and every time I look down, I smile.

The pink shade is totally understated and soft, so it's not overkill to wear it on your finger AND toe nails at the same time. It's also not going to make you put your hands in your pockets every time you boss comes around. 

That's right ladies, we have found the perfect balance between professional and trendy

Believe it or not, fall is just around the corner. Before you know it we'll all be trading in our jean shorts, flowy tanks and leather gladiator sandals for skinny jeans and cardi's. 

Drink in the summer digs while you still can!
