SUILTSOY's mid-summer playlist...

Wow, it seems like I've been promising a new playlist for some time now. I haven't compiled one since around April, aka Spring Break 2011. Sheesh! Since then I've been introduced by friends, blogs, Hype Machine and Twitter to all sorts of sizzlingly summer-perfect tunes, and it's high time I shared them with you. Some songs you may recognize from past MWMM posts, but Hooray! here they all are in once place.

This time around it's mostly new-ish music, but I couldn't resist throwing in a few tried-and-true classics as well.  So without further ado, pull up your iTunes account, your Spotify, Grooveshark, your Napster-esque illegal downloading software (if that's your thing), or maybe just YouTube, and get this playlist in your life.

*There are so many shout outs to give in thanks for all this great music, so if you see a song on there and you're like, "Hey, I'm pretty sure I shared that song with her," then you probably did. So, thank you!

{color story} yes, red skinny jeans. but what else?

red-y for the fall
I'll be the first to admit I'm positively dying for a pair of red skinny jeans for fall. I know everyone, and I mean everyone, wants them, and I'm not ashamed to jump on the bandwagon. Red is absolutely the break-out color of the season, but it's so much more than jeans! This universally flattering color is popping up in just about every conceivable form, from structured blazers to ladylike flats. Beyond those ubiquitous skinnies, I'm thinking of trading out my traditional navy-and-white Breton stripes for red-and-navy. Come to think of it, mixing the above tee and floral skirt seems like a rather divine mix, don't you think?

PS: Beyonce is preggers y'all. Just the idea of Jay-Z as a dad and how blinged-out this baby is going to be makes me really, really happy. Oh, and she looks stunning in red.

Are you going to be seeing red this Fall? Tell me how, tell me when, tell me whyyyyy! (Please?)
