There's something about hearing the slight crackle from the speakers that makes the songs feel more intimate and special. I thought I'd show you a few of my favourite records and hopefully it will provide you with a new favourite album. And for those of you wondering I buy my records from HMV, Urban Outfitters and Amazon.

Items: Urban Outfitters shorts, Brandy Melville top Last weekend I finally went shopping again mostly because I needed to get new shorts. I picked up a pair from Urban Outfitters and Zara because they both had good sales going on. I still need to get some new denim shorts but this was a good start. I also picked up just a plain white shirt from Brandy Melville because I find their shirts are good quality and last a long time. Items: Zara shorts, Brandy Melville top Items:  Mario Badescu Drying Lotion , Urban Outfitters glass jewelry box I've been wanting to try out Mario Badescu products for a while now so I got the Drying Lotion to test out and I've really been liking it so far. I also got this jewelry box from Urban Outfitters because it was on sale and I thought it would be great to display some of my jewelry in.
