Florence Enchanted
Florence + The Machine's Debut album Lungs has to be my absolute favorite music of the moment. The British chanteuse has such powerful vocals with a rock and roll edge and a unique pixie dust covered sound. Her music transports you to a fairytale like land where glittered harps and chains adorn her glam rock songs. Florence's sound reminds me of Stevie Nicks in the Bella Donna days where new age rituals, dry ice, nymph like outfits, and a choir of backup songstresses would set the stage. All the songs on her debut are standout to me. She has a enchanting sound that makes me want to ride a unicorn in a fairy outfit allover her fairy tale land she creates with her music (that may be a little exaggerated and trippy but its true!). Take a listen and you will be put under her spell too.

Little Joy
This has to be one of the cutest and most attractive (due to all the hot Brazilian men!) music videos. Little Joy's debut album has been my go to summer soundtrack - they have such a great warm, vintage sound to them. Also earning them brownie points with me is the fact that they count the handsome Italian/Brazilian Fabrizio Moretti (from The Strokes) as a band member. LOVE LOVE LOVE! Perfect little video for the last few days of summer. Enjoy!

^^ some pics I took of sunflowers I received for my birthday back in may. My horoscope said that flowers are the best gift you could give a Taurus (along with cookbooks and soft material lol) and I have to agree 100%. They truly are!
