My Favorite Albums of 2014

The other day I did a little reflection about my year as a whole. But, another big part of my year was live music. I went to NINE festivals- SXSW, Jazz Fest, Psych Fest, Free Press Summer Fest, X Games, Float Fest, Utopia Fest, ACL, and Fun Fun Fun Fest (all but one were in Texas) and I'm not sure how many regular live shows (at least 15). It was by far my biggest year of music yet. It was fantastic.

These are my favorite albums that came out this year in no particular order. I was fortunate enough to see 7 out of the 10 live. Pretty awesome and I'm so thankful to live in a city that offers so much great live music every single day. Check out my list and I also put a playlist together with my favorite songs from each album. Oh, and Happy New Year's Eve! I'll talk to ya next year.

2. Sylvan Esso* - Sylvan Esso

Hey there. Isn't it kind of magical how in one week's time we get two major holidays? It was JUST Christmas and now it's about to be freaking 2015. Damn. I guess I could talk about this adorably comfy and cute outfit but I think I'll take this opportunity to reflect a little on what 2014 was like for me...

This year was amazing, it was fun, it was crazy in more ways than I could have ever imagined, it was up, it was down. It was so many things wonderful and terrible all at the same time. This was the best and worst year of my life. And the worst parts have only made me better. I've become so much more self aware. At 26 I'm finally starting to get to know myself. Isn't that weird? How you can be alive for a pretty long time, considering the span of one's life, and not really know who you are... and not even realize it? This year was absolutely one for a lot of self discovery and it's been extremely enlightening. I can't wait to see where 2015 will take me if I keep this up. And I hope to gallivant around here on this blog a little more as well. Here's to 2015, y'all! Bring it on. I'm ready.

Hello there. When winter hits all I want to wear are leggings. For obvious reasons. They are semi-warm and extremely comfy. I like to dress them up with a little bit of leather and a cute hat. Hoping to start blogging a little more. Weeeeee.
