The Fall

This is for you Cinnamon!

Norah Jones is evolving as an artist and her new album reflects that. The Fall is different from her last album in that it's not as gentle. Though you can still definitely hear classic soothing Norah, overall it's a bit more "rock+roll". The lush fresh tone of her new music features more bold guitar and less piano, but still highlights the seductive charm of her velvety, smokey voice.

Saturday Morning Breakfast

I enjoyed a very lovely Saturday morning. My husband and I woke up slowly then decided we were in the mood for pancakes. After working out and goofing off for a while, we made breakfast together while listening to Jack Johnson. He made banana pancakes and I made eggs. So delicious!

Happy Weekend! :-)

Photos from Wednesday Evening

Dianne Reeves was absolutely AMAZING! My husband and I were both in awe at how talented she was. Her music is the perfect thing to listen to when you need something relaxing and soothing, something romantic, or something uplifting. If you're interested, you can find her on Pandora or iTunes.

Below are a few shots from the evening (no photos allowed inside during the show)...

Out and About

Tomorrow night I'm off to the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Downtown LA with my husband to attend a Dianne Reeves concert. I'm so excited! I'll get to listen to an amazing jazz vocalist, admire spectacular architecture, and I'll finally get to wear my Diane von Furstenberg Svetlana dress!
