Jacob Latimore: This Is Me


Yesterday at 7PM Jacob Latimore released his mixtape, This Is Me, and I haven't stopped listening to it yet. It has been on constant repeat since I downloaded it. This is honestly a really great mixtape. It almost sounds like an actual album, and I am really impressed. It's straight R&B and every song is good. This is something that you can just put on and let it play. Like...I think I'm a Jacob Jewel now. Much Respect to you Jacob!

If you are interested, you can download the mixtape HERE. It's free...my favorite price! Check it out!

Much Love!

OOTD




I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I know I ate everything in site! I just wanted to come an do a quick outfit of the day post. I'm continuously trying to evolve my style and I just wanted to come and share. I wore this on Thanksgiving in Michigan and I was actually surprised by how nice the weather was that day. I was actually able to get away with just wearing my black cardigan and my  cranberry circle scarf! I was also really excited because I found this cool shirt in my granny's closet. She wasn't going to wear it, so I stole it! Oh, and I cut the collar off because I liked it better that way.

Details
Shirt: Taken from my granny's closet
Shorts: DIY/ Thrifted
Leggings: Ross
Cardigan: Forever 21
Shoes: UGGS
Unisex Circle Scarf: American Apparel

What I'm Listening To


I know I am super late on this, but I recently started listening to Frank Ocean's album "Channel Orange" and I am addicted. This record is absolutely incredible! So much emotion, so much creativity, so much soul. 

My Faves are:

1. Lost
2. Super Rich Kids
3. Sierra Leone
4. Pink Matter
5. Thinkin Bout You

I have also recently discovered Macklemore and Ryan Lewis. Macklemore is a rapper and his flow is  sickening! He has this song called "Can't Hold Us" and I can not get enough of it! You can listen for yourself below!

The Weekly Round-Up

So, I've decided to start doing this thing that I like to call "The weekly round-up" where I talk about some of the things that are occurring in the wonderful world of  entertainment and pop culture. So many things happen and it's hard to keep up with them all sometimes. So, here are a few if you missed them.

1.) Jelena is over...I think?!

Thousands of Beliebers rejoiced at the discovery that Justin Bieber and his girlfriend (or ex-girlfriend) , Selena Gomez split up. They finally get to have their "man" back...or do they? There is still speculation that the two might be reconciling, but no one knows for sure. Personally, I think that the both of them are so young. Why are they in such a rush to be held down?! Go live a little! Plus, there is also talk that the biebs proposed to Selena? really? I'm not sure if that's true, but if it is...honey, I don't know about anyone else, but at 18 and 20 years old I'm not trying to be anyone's husband, or wife! I guess we will just have to see how this pans out.

2.) Queen Mother Bey on IG

Beyonce has decided to grace us all with her presence on the social networking site Instagram. If you are not following her already, please get your life and do so. Her instagram name is @BaddieBey.

3.) Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2

On November 16, 2012 the final installment of the Twilight Saga hit the theaters, and thousands of Twilight fans all over the nation went out to bid goodbye to the immortal characters whom they had grown to love. I too made my way to the theater, and I must say, this movie was worth every penny! It gave me fear, it gave me sadness, it gave me joy...It was EVERYTHING. So if you have yet to see it, I encourage you to go now.

4.) Princess Rih is Unapologetic

Rihanna just released her seventh studio album entitled "Unapologetic" and I am actually really impressed. I think this album shows a lot of growth lyrically and vocally for Rihanna, and I also feel like there is a new level of realness that she is showing. Also occurring right now, is Rih's 777 tour. Apparently, Rihanna and 150 journalist all got on a plane together for the promotional tour, and there was all kinds of mayhem because Rih wouldn't give them any dirt. However, did apologize for the lack of information dished out. She even said that she would do it again.

5.) "Cake like Lady Gaga"

Awhile back Lady Gaga released a rap song entitled "Cake", and while majority of us thought it was a joke, Gaga is taking it more seriously it seems. She made a music video for it and has released two teasers for it which you can see here. I know a lot of people are probably like " really Gaga?" , but I am completely here for this. I think its hilarious.


Well, this is all I have to offer for this weeks round-up. I hope you enjoyed this. Much Love.

Hello!

Hello my name is Raven and I am a 19 year Journalism major. I am currently attending Georgia State University in the heart of Atlanta, and I'm really trying to expand myself as a person and as a journalist.

Fashion and music are some of my favorite things to discuss, but I am also in love with Pop Culture, and I will offer commentary on it from time to time.

I am also a vintage enthusiast!

Things that I love:

  • People who are not afraid to be themselves.
  • Love and Positivity
  • Cats & Chinese Food.
  • Vintage anything.
  • Music is pretty much my life.
  • You.

I guess I will leave you with a quote: 
"To be vintage is to be characterized by excellence and enduring appeal. To be vintage is to be classic"
I hope you enjoy my blog!
