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

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
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
Coming soon: Style Inspiration of the Month
Three years ago, on March 24, 2009, HauteThought was born. I touted it as a music and fashion (and American Idol) blog from the beginning and was determined to stick to these topics. It was an accurate representation of the pop culture I paid the most attention to and I figured I’d be able to … Continue reading
Song of the day: “Real Thing” – Jamie Lawson
Today, I’ve decided to feature a song I don’t know how I found, by an artist whose name I apparently don’t know how to spell. It’s official. I’m losing my mind. It’s the real thing and I just have to accept it. Why do I say this, you ask? (And if you don’t…ouch.) Naturally, any … Continue reading
Song of the day: “Up” – James Morrison ft. Jessie J
Sometimes, when I am first introduced to an artist, I know immediately that a long term love affair is about to ensue. No matter how much I may want to fight it, I know darn well that within the next 24 hours, I will be buying his or her music, probably in CD form. Love … Continue reading
Songs of the day: “A Sunday Kind of Love” and “At Last” – Etta James
Hearing that Etta James lost her battle with leukemia today left me with absolutely no choice but to feature one of her best as today’s song of the day. Quite frankly, it’s not like I would have been capable of finding something with such a lasting quality, anyway. For some reason, I remember the exact … Continue reading
Song of the day: “Montreal” – The Weeknd
Well, if today isn’t a legitimate example of stumbling upon a song, I don’t know what is. I’ll be honest. I was planning on being lazy about finding today’s song of the day. I signed in to Spotify and hoped that the power of randomly clicking things under “What’s New” would lead me to a … Continue reading
Song of the day: “Us” – Regina Spektor
Today’s song is brought to you by a “twin” friend of mine. People have confused us for twins on a few occasions so perhaps that’s why she took the time to suggest it to me. She liked it and thought it was lovely and probably thought I would, too. What do you know? I, too, … Continue reading
