Weekly Tune-Up: The 20/20 Experience



I mean, I couldn't not post about this, guys. Justin Timberlake's highly-anticipated album "The 20/20 Experience" dropped on Tuesday and it is phenomenal. If you thought you liked "Suit & Tie," "Don't Hold The Wall" will be the next song you have on repeat. I can't pick a favorite track just yet, the whole album has been playing nonstop at work, in my car, etc. And it has me even more excited for his concert with Jay Z this summer.

I feel like I don't purchase physical CDs very often anymore, but this one is a purchase must and you should consider getting it at Target. Okay, maybe not just consider - you should buy it from Target. You get two bonus tracks with the Target edition and this week it's on sale for $10. I swooned over the liner notes photos, for a lot of reasons. So much goodness.

Also, our good friend Matt posted that word leaked JT will be releasing a second album this year. I don't even know how I'll handle that.

Investing in Chambray

Gap 1969 Chambray Two-Pocket Shirt

I'm all about pieces you can dress up for work and dress down for a night out with friends, which is why I finally bought myself a chambray shirt. It seemed like a closet essential, perfect for layering and on its own. I purchased the chambray shirt pictured above from Gap - normally a little out of my price range, but I had a gift card and I thought it was worth the investment for the amount of wear I plan to get out of it. Here are a few budget-friendly options as well:

Old Navy Chambray Shirt | $25
Apt. 9 Drop-Tail Hem Chambray Shirt (from Kohl's) | $18, on sale
Liz Claiborne Long-Sleeve Chambray Shirt (from JCPenney) | $25

TGIF: Wine + Ohio = Love

o-HI-o wine glasses by Fizz Creative

I've been lusting after these wine glasses by Fizz Creative for quite a while - I mean it combines two of the things I enjoy, wine and Ohio. I don't think it gets much better than that. But then I noticed you can also get that wonderful o-HI-o logo on beer glasses as well . . .

Their Etsy shop says they will return tomorrow, so I'm hoping to place an order soon!

Weekly Tune-Up: Brand New She& Him



Get excited, guys - She & Him are releasing a new album on May 7, and they recently posted the first single from Volume 3. "Never Wanted Your Love" is everything that made me fall in love with She & Him the first time I heard them, which is precisely what I was hoping this third album would be. Chock full of sunshine and the adorable Zooey Deschanel, a springtime release is perfect for Volume 3. Until then, warm up your Wednesday with "Never Wanted Your Love."

I have been on a three-month clothing fast that thankfully is almost up.  Needless to say, I find myself lusting after a variety of items online. My newest searched item is tipped shoes. I don't know what it is but they just seem so classy.
The following are some of my favorite finds:

Kitten Wear

I spotted this sweatshirt in a tweet from Fab.com - the awesome online store with a heavy focus on good design - and I immediately fell for it. Not surprisingly, it sold out rather quickly on Fab but I looked up the retailer and this shirt is back on my wish list, along with a few other items from Burger and Friends
