High-Five Fridays (The Music Edition)

I'm Back! Did you miss me? Its been over a month since my last post on this blog (and leaving off on Tortellini Salad just didn't feel right), so I'm back with something better. If you want to know what I've been up to, keep reading down, but first check out my continuation of High-Five Fridays. I know so many inspiring people pursuing amazing projects this season, so this post category is especially relevant to me right now.

Here's who's inspring me today:

A big high-five goes to my song-goddess friend, Jacque Ryal, and her super-talented band Strip Darling. Jacque and I worked together at the same restaurant a few years back, before each heading out into our respective fields (music and fashion). Her voice is just as beautiful as her personality. The band recently released their long-awaited first album, Mend. Here's a sample of one of my favorite songs:



Love it?! You can hear the rest of the songs and buy the album on Bandcamp or iTunes.

And if you're in the NYC vicinity, you should definitely see them in person. They put on a great show! Strip Darling's playing at The Trash Bar next Friday, November 2nd at 11pm.

As for me? Its been a busy Fall.... I'll try to fill in with some pics and stories soon! In the meantime, I'm doing a 30 Day Bikram Challenge and blogging about it everyday at 30Days30Thoughts. Follow me there and on my other tumblr, MDHeartsBK, where I share photographs I've taken in Brooklyn.

P.S. I'm so happy to see that even in my absence I've been getting a lot of traffic to this site. If you're a new reader, click here, or drop me a line! Thanks for following!
