Weekly Music Inspiration: Home by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros

I've decided to share a music video every week because I feel like no matter what I do, music is always a HUGE inspiration for me.  I don't watch videos as much as I used to...but, it will be exciting to see how the video is styled and see if it is what I imagined it to be.
I'm starting with a song called, "Home" by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros that I heard for the first time on my trip to Portland.  It seemed very 70's to me and really seemed like a signature song for my summer 70's wardrobe.  Then, I see the video and it's exactly what I imagined.
Hope this inspires.  I'd love to hear what you think after you hear and see the music videos, so please share.

Spotted: Tiered Maxi Dress




I saw this dress on the Today Show and was curious...then, I saw a similar dress on the Calypso St. Barths email and knew I wasn't going to be paying $450...so, I figured let's see how much the Kohls version is and it's on sale for $36!  Thoughts???

Don't forget, next month, Calypso St. Barth will be the featured designer for Go International!

FABB What is your power color?

Check out my two seconds of fame:) It was so much fun being at the Lucky magazine FABB conference! What's your power color?

My new favorite color: Chartreuse

I can't pinpoint the exact description of this color...it looks bright yellow, but there is a feeling of lime green accents to this yellow.  It's interesting and that is why I LOVE it!  I still can't say the color correctly, but here is how to pronounce it here.  I like the color with lavender, tan, and gray...pretty much all of the neutrals.

The Spiegel email that caught my attention



I don't check my Spiegel emails everyday...or really visit the site that much.  But, when I read that a celeb stylist was doing something with the brand my interest was peaked and I decided to check it out.  I actually liked four of the items (the necklace, the gray jacket, gray shoes and white handbag:) in the email blast and then noticed that the brand offers a magazine on their site too.  The magazine didn't really do much for me honestly...I doubt I'll be checking every week or anything...but, I think they have some good pieces if you search which like almost anywhere you shop...so, why not?  Plus, if you sign up for email updates you get 15% off.
Insider's Info:
I used to work at a catalog and we always found inspiration from what was out there from designer clothing to popular brands or department store catalogs that were on trend.  So, you never know, you just might find something similar to what you had your eye on here...

The necklace reminds me of the Lanvin for H&M necklace my style icon, Tracee Ellis Ross rocked last month.  (image from essence.com and Getty Images)
