*Because my music collection doesn't really do punk.

Countdown to Gatsby

The soundtrack of this film appears to be crafted from my own music collection. I love it all! I wish more directors paid closer attention to detail when it comes to their movie's soundtrack. Music truly is a character in and of itself. The right song or musical score has has the power to transform a scene and set the tone for the entire film.

May Queen

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now. It's just a spring clean for the May Queen...

A Mother's Day Gift Guide

1. Lotions & Potions. 

 Keep your Mom feeling and looking great with a luxurious skincare set. Brands to Try: La Mer, Clarins, Shiseido. 

 2. A Beautiful Book.

Coffee table books are some of my favorite presents to receive but get something she'll appreciate. Even a novel or memoir makes a thoughtful gift. 

 3. Flowers. 

You can never go wrong with a gorgeous floral arrangement. If you'd rather not spring for something that will quickly wilt away, why not plant something or take her to a botanical garden.

 4. Chocolates.

 Because what woman doesn't love sweets?

 5. Something Artistic.

A painting, special photograph or perhaps a camera if she's good behind the lens. Even better? Arrange to have family pictures taken by a friend or someone starting out and looking for experience. A cost effective way to capture a beautiful afternoon. 

6. Jewels. 

Diamonds are a girl's best friend but I always say that crystals make a great acquaintance. 

 7. A New Bathrobe. 

Maybe add some of her favorite bath products or book a day at the spa. A massage is always a nice treat.

 8. Wallet/Handbag.

 If she's anything like me, there's always room in the closet for a new piece of arm candy. 

 9. Slippers.

 Snuggle time! 

 Now Playing: "Home" by Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros
