/// STEAL THIS :: THE XX

I'm gearing up for an internet hiatus. I'm flying back to Pennsylvania tomorrow to have an early holiday with my dad. I also will be seeing that man of mine, the one I haven't seen in five months. It's been really difficult being apart, but we keep telling each other that it's just making us stronger (It is.)

Today's STEAL THIS is dedicated to my dude. The xx got us through a tough time & they will always be special to us. I cannot wait to snuggle in bed, drink some coffee, and put this album on the record player. (Tomorrow!)

/// THANKSGIVING

I disappeared for several days because my house was full of people I like. My sister flew in from Chicago AND one of my best gal pals from Pennsylvania drove across the country & arrived Thanksgiving day. It was a super awesome lady fest -- and I think I'm still recovering.

/// SVPPLY ME + SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY

In lieu of the weekly SVPPLY ME, here's a link to all the little shops I've talked about on this here internet platform. Don't forget to #ShopSmall for Small Business Saturday, sponsored by American Express. Small businesses are such a big part of our economy & support local communities.

Get out there & shop not only your local independent retailers, but small shops everywhere! I cannot wait to explore my own city (Phoenix, what what!) this Saturday & see what treasures I come up with.

(Trust me, there are some gems out there.)

Happy shopping!

/// STEAL THIS :: MARK SULTAN

Oh, Mark Sultan. I really am quite fond of you. His collaborations with King Khan as King Khan & BBQ Show are fucking fantastic. Now he has not one, but TWO albums out this year (Whatever I Want & Whenever I Want.) What's really stuck in my head lately is this song, with Jared Swilley from Black Lips (off Whatever I Want.)

It's awesome.

/// M. MEYER FALL EDITORIAL

It will come as no surprise that I love Mary Meyer. (Buy me things.) Here's a snippet from their fall editorial.

/// STEAL THIS :: WILD NOTHING

I'm officially ending my internet hiatus. I needed a break from the world wide web for the last couple days. The next few weeks are going to be super hectic & I need to be on top of things. (Despite my brief time away, I got nothing accomplished nor did I rest up really. I suck at time management/sleeping properly.)

Today, Wild Nothing is here to soothe my scattered brain. So dreamy, so calming, so enchanting.

/// STEAL THIS :: REAL ESTATE

I should be seeing Real Estate right now. But I made the responsible choice instead of the cool choice -- and I already hate myself for it. These dudes are the real deal; no sophomore slump for them. Their second album is just as awesome as -- if not better than -- their first. I am completely smitten.

Why, oh why do I have to be responsible?

Do yourself a favor & listen to them. You're welcome.
