Music of the day
This time it's from Gorillaz whom I had the pleasure to watch play live for the first time last week:) They were remarkably good, the setlist was such a surprise and in perfect flow..no wonder why I've been a huge fan of this guy from the very beginning of his carreer-the man is geniuuusss
They played songs off of all their albums, played Some kind of Nature/the collab with Lou Reed, for the first time in seven years, had many guest appearances (Peven Everett, you're out of this planet!) AND played Busted & Blue live which was a huge surprise to me, but apparently it is everyone's favorite (who would have thought?)
I absolutely love this song-probably my favorite of the latest album which album by the way I simply adore more and more every time I listen to it-
This is Atlanta's setlist c/o @Chaos.Archon:
..and some photos c/o Taste area for your sake:)

Current wishlist: Rosegal
When the Rosegal team approached me and asked me to a create an item wishlist coming from their online shop, I knew it wouldn't be an easy job only because there were literally so many things to choose from, all at great prices.
I really love their vintage wear selections especially those of the retro inspired dresses. This one is one of my favorites. Loving this plaid bowknot, too. I would totally fill my closet with a collection of vintage style dresses to add my wardrobe a "coming from another era" vibe:) Definitely my thing.
Also my thing: these items pictured above. Current Rosegal obsessions. I mean look at this cropped top! Or this faux fur hat..
Browse on!

Best margarita recipe
I just found the perfect margarita recipe you guys! So, if you love margaritas or if you love Taco Tuesdays accompanied by a good margarita or if you just want a new cocktail recipe to try out, it is here for you to share:)
Margarita
ice cubes
3 oz tequila, (I use Cazadores blanco tequila which I love)
2 oz freshly squeezed lime juice
1 oz simple syrup
1 tablespoon lime-salt-sugar
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add tequila, lime juice, Simple Syrup. Cover and shake until mixed and chilled, about 30 seconds. (In general, the drink is ready by the time the shaker mists up.) Place Lime-salt-sugar on a plate. Press the rim of a chilled rocks or wine glass into the mixture to rim the edge. Strain margarita into the glass.
*Simple Syrup
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
Put the sugar and water in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
*Lime-salt-sugar
zest of 1 lime
2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons sugar
Blend together lime, salt and sugar in a small blender or mini food chopper.
Tip: Remember to strain margarita into the glass:) no need to put the ice cubes in or it will become watery and it will ruin the whole taste
Cheers!

Spot on project: I wanna live with my friends
So this is the coolest thing these best friends guys did: they wanted so badly to live in the same neighborhood so they found the desired land they wanted to live in, bought it and then they built tiny houses in it. Their project is called "Llano exit strategy" and it consists of 400sq ft "modern meets rustic"style houses, are environmental and budget friendly and were designed with the Texas weather in mind.
Best friends living together: you can't go wrong with that:)
