Ali | Developments












{Completely obsessed with this band Hands Like Houses. Their album "Unimagine" is one of my favorite albums hands down. Give them a listen and feel free to comment with any thoughts!}

In this look i'm rockin my fav flower sunnies by a company called Vintage Sunnies. They are huge and over the top and I LOVEEE them. Go check out Vintage Sunnies for more amazing sunglasses for super cheap >> here!

I paired these with a loose fitting crop top, a killer bralette, vintage distressed Levi's shorts, thigh high socks and my coveted Jeffrey Campbell suede booties.

Get the Look:

Ali | Breathe Carolina "Savages"



Ali here! So if you haven't noticed, the whole point of the blog is that Hillary and I have different styles and are two completely different people.  We share a love of hip hop music but other than that our music tastes differ drastically. 

I have always really been into rock music. That means everything from classic rock and alt rock, all the way to metal music. I know I know... I hear it all the time...."You don't look like the kind of girl that would listen to metal music." Preaching to the choir here! I guess you can attribute my love of rock music to my mother. She was always blaring The Rolling Stones and dancing around the house. I also grew up with friends from all different cultures and walks of life and a lot of those friends were heavily into the local alt music scene. 

Anyways.... I am a lover of all things music related and you will probably see me post a lot of different things in relation to music and what I am into at the time. Today I wanted to give my thoughts on the new Breathe Carolina "Savages" album that just dropped. 

As usual Breathe Caroline f*cking killed it! Every album they release is better than the last. They always amaze me with their ability to grow and change their music to keep up with the times, while also staying true to who they are. Since the last album Kyle Even has left but the band still seems to be keeping up. Only change is that this album seems to lack a little in the screamo that Kyle used to bring to the band but still an excellent album.

Band: Breathe Carolina - Denver. CO bred band
Album Name: Savages
Genre: "Synthcore"  (Synthpop + metalcore)
Fav Tracks: 1. Bang It Out (SOOO EPIC!! Music Video below!) They have
a girl singer on this track named Karmin and it absolutely
makes the song. Check Karmin out >>> here
2. Shots Fired - This song is one of the slower more melodic songs on the album
3. Collide - This is your amp it up song. The song you use to get
ready to and make you want to dance. Generally just a
really good up beat feel good song.



Check out the artists and give them a listen! 

Hope you like it!
