When I hear the word wallpaper I'm immediately drawn to a mental image of the 1970s. Something similar to, say, this? But, in reality, modern wallpaper is actually pretty cool. I've seen it used a bunch on HGTV so my opinion has really turned around. There's even a hilarious episode of Property Brothers where one woman is determined to use the world's busiest wallpaper (at whatever cost) much to the chagrin of both Jonathan and her husband.

Arcade Fire have won plenty of awards for their music and other technical/creative aspects. These include Brits, Grammys, and two members (Will Butler and Owen Pallett) even received an Academy Award Nomination for Best Original Score for Her. Everyone surely has heard of Arcade Fire or at least their most popular song Wake Up. Wake Up was featured in Spike Jonze's Where the Wild Things Are and commercials for the NFL in 2010.

Ah, the weekend. The time where I should be doing a whole lot of nothing, but I'll likely end up stressing about everything I haven't done. You know, the stuff I keep saying I'll do tomorrow or the next day, but then eventually run out of days to do? I feel like I constantly need to be productive or I'm a complete sham of a person. Yikes. Hopefully sometime this weekend I'll manage to binge watch Wet Hot American Summer: 10 Years Later. 

One consistent topic I always have to share are the new releases from the Who What Wear x Target line. For over a year now each month new releases have been hitting store shelves in order to give us all access to affordable, street style inspired clothes. They are incredibly on trend or really great variations of trends. They are flattering, cost effective, and, of course, stylish. I definitely believe they are essential for the business casual work environment (which is where I wear them most often), but can really be worn anywhere. Dress them up or wear them casually either way you'll feel great in something. 

Every summer there's a thousand summer reading lists where people tell us what we should be reading. Everything from the hottest fiction book (which is apparently Rich People Problems) to those books that are supposed to make our lives better. I mentioned in my summer bucket list my intention to read 3 New York Times Best Sellers so, of course, that meant making a list of books I want to read. Here we are, it's nearly August, and I have yet to finish one. See, my intentions were good, but I have to try harder to accomplish this. Below you'll find some of the books I still plan to shove into what's left of my summer vacation.
