4 the Love of Music! #1

My love for music can’t ever be held back neither can my curiosity for finding new sounds and artists. I'm always looking for something new - even if it's old.

'4 the Love of Music' is simply my way of sharing more than just inspirational pictures on Tumblr and Instagram. Music is a big part of my life and a huge source of inspiration, not just for me but also for a lot of people. That's why I've decided to release 4 of my favorite songs on the 4th of every month!

Not always does the “mi casa es su casa” phrase work, but it does in this case! Here's a piece of my 18-year-young head & heart:

"I Play Tough As Nails With My Heart On My Sleeve"

I am going to start with one of my all time favorite songs because I feel like it was written for me. The young lady who sings it, is not a stranger in the Fashion World. She was my "Style Ruler" prediction for 2013 in '2013, the Year of...?' on DiFashionista. What makes this song even better is the fact that I also associate it with the DiFashionista Blog motto: "Style is Personality". Let this fun - fierce - fabulous masterpiece take you over:

Solange Knowles -

Sandcastle Disco

Album: Sol-Angel & The Hadley St. Dreams

"You Fill Your Pockets, Yet You Empty Out My Soul"

One of the things I can really appreciate in music, is: the truth. Pop  music is made for radio stations, but a lot of musicians - mostly Indie bands - have a habit of telling the truth no matter what. I have not heard from the band what this song is about, but this song describes the modern music industry that I get bored and/or annoyed with. It's not just the song that made an impact on me, but the video is also really really good:

Churchill -

Change

Album: Change EP

"Red Cars Are Quite Rare I've Realized, Then I Wondered Which Color You'd Like"

BOY consists of two girls with fresh faces that will light up your headphones with their eccentric and easy going music. The video is just as relax and free as their music. I just heard their album Mutual Friends and fell in love with this track:

BOY -

Little Numbers

Album: Mutual Friends

"Without Her I'm Lost, but My Love Don't Fade Away"

The British band Mumford and Sons have had a great 2013 start with an "Album of the Year" Grammy in their pocket for the album 'Babel'. Well deserved and well written, I must put them on the list. Their raw, eccentric and free-spirited music gets me through gloomy days. No it's not (only) the beards, but the combination of their acoustic- genre and the soul they put in it.

Reminder

Album: Babel

Jean-Pierre Braganza RTW Spring/Summer 2013 collection

The first thing I thought when I saw Jean-Pierre's collection was "I would love to have a couple of these pieces in my closet". There's a lot of asymmetry and color blocking - and my favorite: print blocking - which can look so three months ago if there isn't a modern twist. Jean-Pierre claims that he designs for mature women with curves. If I could decide who his customer is for this season I would go with a bold teen who loves to be the stop-and-stare girl. I could totally see Solange Knowles with one of these pieces with sky blue eye shadow and her orange lipstick. My favorite pieces were the suit inspired pieces and the color blocking graphic dresses which I'd love to own. The collection is very vibrant and modern and it looked like a successful art project.

Here are my favorite looks from this seasons Braganza runway show:

 

Here is the rest of the collection so you can pick your own favorites:

Jean-Pierre started his first collection back in 2003. He studied an art related major and that can be used as an advantage now that he is a designer. Art is most of the time also connected with tomboy and that influence can also be seen in his collection. I'm a fan and can't wait to see his next collection.

Resort 2013: Herve Leger by Max Azria

Lubov Azria and Max Azria

 Max Azria is practically famous for three clothing lines: BCBG Max Azria, Herve Leger and Miley Max. 

Herve Leger is more of a fitted dress collection for the fierce woman who likes bandage dresses. BCBG Max Azria is on the other hand totally the opposite of Herve Leger. BCBG features the more relaxed version of fashion. Herve Leger and BCBG have the luxurious and multi-colored prints that Max Azria luves in common. I think it's truly his signature look and it looks amazing especially on the runway.

Miley Max is a collaboration between Miley Cyrus and Max Azria that can be found online or in Walmart stores. I happen to own a couple of Miley Max shirts and they are great. It's really more of a jeans and t-shirt kind of line focused on teens. Miley Cyrus even wore a Miley Max shirt on the cover of her album "The Time of Our Lives", which is the shirt I also happen to own.

I know what you're thinking, "amazing", and I couldn't agree more. Max Azria featured structure, color and art into his Resort 2013 collection. It's like he read my mind. Did he read yours too? I'd luv to hear your feedback to know what my readers like!

Much Love,
