Back to the Future

I've been searching for cute and comfortable shoes since January this year. I never thought I'd be a fan of jelly sandals after sixth grade, but Melissa Plastic Dreams changed my mind. There has been so much hype around this new summer trend and I never thought I'd give in. I tried these Melissa flats at Nordstrom. They look better on, COMFORTABLE, avant garde, smell great, made from recycled plastic, and are so weird! Were jelly's always comfortable? I have bad memories (i.e. blisters, cuts, and stink shoes) from elementary school.

Melissa collaboration with Zaha Hadid. Where can I find these ?!?

My Summer Playlist

I finally finished making my summer playlist! These are the songs I am listening to when going to the beach, going out, and driving (day or night). Some have sentimental value but most are just fun songs to accompany this summer weather.

1. Lisztomania - Phoenix

Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix was released just in time for summer! The whole album is catchy, easy to listen, and FUN!

2. Lion In A Coma - Animal Collective

Funky, fun, bouncy, and quirky. After getting used to Animal Collective's unusual style and sound, Merriweather Post Pavilion is (so far) my favorite album of 2009. It definitely lived up to the hype and is refreshing to my summer like Aoki shaved ice after the beach.

3. I Could Break Your Heart Any Day Of The Week - Mandy Moore

YES Mandy Moore. It's my "song I sing in to the car" song:)

4. Stronger Than Jesus - A Camp

5. Fences - Phoenix

6. My Girls - Animal Collective

Can't get over how good this song is. I'm in love.

7. I'm Leaving You Because I Don't Love You - Jens Lekman

Break up with your boyfriend/girlfriend. HELLOOO it's summer! Time to have fun and meet new people!

8. The Strangers - St. Vincent

9. Use Somebody - Kings of Leon

Grammy winner...blah blah

10. Cheerleader - Grizzly Bear

Just saw this music video...it's creepy.

11. Girlfriend - Phoenix

12. Summertime Clothes - Animal Collective

13. Jails and Bombs - Amos Lee

Strictly sexy. Last Days at the Lodge isn't my fave Amos Lee album, but this song is a great mix of R&B and Folk. Reminds me of driving home late at night and his show at Next Door.

14. Air Mattress - Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band

Outer South is a great album. Purchase ASAP!

15. Two Weeks - Grizzly Bear

16. For What It's Worth - The Cardigans

Who knew The Cardigans put out such great folk/pop music?!? Long Gone Before Daylight is a great album.

17. All Of A Sudden - Telekinesis

"All of a sudden its summer time." Read about him in Under the Radar and I am intrigued! I think his music is a mix of Death Cab, Beach Boys, She & Him, and Helio Sequence.

18. Everblue - Mandy Moore

A little emo.

19. Here Are Many Wild Animals - A Camp

20. Rock With You - Michael Jackson

This is my fave Michael song. RIP <3

21. Won't Let Me Go - Amos Lee
