Music Mixbag: Sunday Playlist

 When I first started this blog I used to do quite a few posts on what was on my playlist, who I couldn't stop listening to or who I was loving discovering. I haven't done a post that's entirely music orientated in ages and as big old eclectic music fan, I've decided to get it back up and running again as more of a regular feature! So today I'm kicking it back off with a selection of my latest favourite tracks for a chilled Sunday Playlist!

Of Monsters and Men // Dirty Paws

I love this song. It's got such a cute charm to it and follows on from 'Little Talks' brilliantly.



Two Door Cinema Club // Sun



A happy chappy second single from their latest album Beacon. I always love a bit of TDCC.  

Alt-J // Matilda

It took me a little while to come round to Alt-J. But I absolutely love this song, such a distinctive voice and I feel instantly chilled after listening to it.

Ed Sheeran // Give Me Love: Live Room Acoustic

Although its hard to select one, I think this is possibly my favourite song on Ed's album +. So glad it's been released as the final song!

Alex Care // Damn Your Eyes

I LOVE Alex Care's voice, especially on this brilliant cover of Etta James' Damn Your Eyes. I wish it was longer than 2 and half minutes!

Gabrielle Aplin // Ghosts

My favourite song from the amazing Gabrielle who sings the lovely cover of 'Power of Love' for this year's Xmas John Lewis advert. I first started my music posts on this blog with her song 'Home', so it only felt right to include this song in this post!

The XX // Angels

I know this isn't a new song but I just still can't stop listening to it! I don't think I'll ever get bored of hearing it!

Pinback // Penelope

An oldie, but a goodie. This song first came out in 2001. So when I was age 10/11 and completely unaware indie style music ever existed! Quite a melancholic song I know, but I still love listening to it!

 Enjoy. Hope you all have a lovely relaxing day :)

 

The Power of Love

Happy Saturday everyone! My outfit post today is featuring the Herringbone Mango blazer I have been a bit obsessed with lately! It's part of the Kate Moss for Mango A/W 12 collection and I bought it not too long ago with some left over birthday vouchers! I was pretty chuffed I managed to only spend £39.99 on it and in my mind you really can't argue with those prices, so it was added to my wardrobe a.s.a.p! It's pretty warm and cosy due to it's over sized masculine styling so it has been keeping me toasty now the weather has taken a turn for the colder!

The jeans I'm wearing are from the Premium Denim range at Oasis. They've got a leather-look coating to give the appearance of leather without actually being leather themselves! I was a bit wary to try them at first as I'm not too much of a fan of squeezing myself into tight, uncomfortable little numbers but I can honestly say they are soooo comfy as they fit and have the feel of jeggings! Perfect! I also wore it with my classic black Topshop bag which I think I have had for about 6-7 years now! It's treated me so well despite the fact I always lose stuff in it as it's deceptively 'Mary Poppins' style in it's largeness! The little friendship bracelets are from Republic for only £4 each. They're so cute and pick-me-up I just had to have them!

Herringbone Short Coat: Mango £39.99 // Premium Coated Jean in Black: Oasis £45 // Boots: Miss Selfridge £N/A // Miso Spiked & Love Bracelet: Republic £4.00 each // Bag: Topshop £N/A 

 Hope you all have a lovely weekend whatever you get up to! I'm finally seeing the latest James Bond film this weekend so hopefully it will live up to all the good reviews I've heard about it!

PS. On a very separate note, have you all seen the new John Lewis Christmas advert? SO CUTE. It definitely rivals last years as possibly the most tear jerking ad, (yes I do find loved up snowmen moving) and if your a regular reader you will know I have a massive music crush on Gabrielle Aplin who is doing an amazinggg cover of Power of Love as the soundtrack for it! Check it out!

 

Gabrielle Aplin; Music Crush

I've always been a big enthusiast in terms of finding new artists and music, and my recent music love has to be the lovely singer/songwriter Gabrielle Aplin.  I first came across her on an itunes free download of the week with the track 'Home', and instantly fell in love with her delicatley soft voice and the equally lovely song. Her EP is currently available on itunes, and I have posted her track Home below, along with a stunning cover of Coldplay's 'Fix You' on BBC's introducing show. Enjoy.

Current Single; Home.
