You’ve all heard the story. A music hungry individual moves to L.A. to satiate his dreams of becoming a successful artist. Between struggles to hold a day job, find the perfect sound and book enough gigs to make a name for himself, he becomes mentally and physically exhausted. And that’s the end of it. However, … Continue reading

Song of the day: “Run With Me” – David William Hearn
There are very few TV shows I get into. That’s not to say I can’t enjoy a rainy day on the couch flipping through the channels but, in terms of fully committing my precious time to a cast of characters, I’m a little stingy. Because of this stingy-ness, when I do find a show I … Continue reading
Song of the day: “Settle Down” (Live at Sing Sing Studios) – Kimbra
There’s something to be said about an artist who has complete vocal control. That something is a big, bold lettered note saying “Congratulations, you truly have musical talent!” When a pianists slips on a note, it’s generally quite obvious. To those of us who aren’t tone deaf, it’s pretty obvious when a vocalist misses a … Continue reading
Song of the day: “Save Water, Drink Beer” – Chris Young
Chicago is currently experiencing a bit of a phenomenon. I’ll call it summer in March. In this lovely midwestern city, we rarely experience spring weather in March, let alone 70+ degree temperatures. It’s weird. Don’t misconstrue that as a complaint. If I could dropkick winter in the face and send it packing, I’d do so … Continue reading
Excuse me while I blush
Fun fact of the day about me: I struggle with taking compliments. Sometimes I stutter. Other times I say “thanks” ridiculously fast and change the subject. And then there are the times that I feel the need to reciprocate the compliment immediately and it comes out all wrong. Like the time my highschool boyfriend told … Continue reading
Song of the day: “Call Me Maybe” – Carly Rae Jepsen
WAIT! Before you go and I lose all of my music cred, I want to clear a few things up. Yes, you should still give me the time of day and no, I haven’t lost my mind. Let’s start with some sure to be frequently asked questions. Do you find this song choice and post … Continue reading
Kate Spade-esque items at…
A couple weeks ago, I introduced a new feature for HauteThought: Style Inspiration of the Month. To jump start the feature and welcome spring, I started with Kate Spade, a designer who isn’t afraid to use color to create classically timeless pieces. I also made it clear that I am not the type of person … Continue reading
Song of the day: “Gone Too Soon” – Michael Jackson
Today’s song of the day doesn’t need a long, drawn out explanation. I grew up in a tight knit neighborhood. Groups of us would get together for late night games of kick the can while our parents, who are still friends, would chat for hours. We’d spend countless hours at Orchardbrook pool playing lemonade and … Continue reading
Song of the day: “I Feel Better” – Gotye
Today was a day where I truly became a zombie. A productive zombie, but a zombie nonetheless. I’m talking the eyes glazed over, performing the same motions, hardly moving, few words, type of zombie. It was the opposite of a sensory overload. When my zombie brain couldn’t take it anymore, it became imperative that I … Continue reading
March Style Inspiration: Kate Spade
I need to make a very big statement before I start drooling over Kate Spade. Call it a preface. I, Annie, am not the type of person who buys designer clothes for the status of it. In fact, you will rarely find me wearing something with a fancy label or an item that cost me … Continue reading
