YouTube Queens (#TT129)

Hello lovelies!

So excited to share this lovely original song by the two singer/song-writer queens from YouTube, Kina Grannis and Marie Digby. Both are extremely talented and beautiful. I have to say they’re probably the pioneers for YouTube female artists who’s gone viral. I’ve actually met Marie in one of her concerts in Singapore back in 2009!

Who do you watch on YouTube?

SheInside Floral Gradient Shirt

White Long Sleeve Floral Chiffon Blouse

I had been wanting to get this shirt so bad! I saw it being sold in various online shops and I decided to buy it from SheInside this time considering the price and reviews from their members, which makes it my first purchase from the shop!

The material is very sheer and lightweight, but quite structured on the collar, which I like. I love love the design and the fact that the sleeves have button straps to secure when you roll up your sleeves make it even more practical during the hotter days.

I also like the stud button at the collar, which is kind of a surprise to me. One flaw that I find is that there is a tiny misprint on one of the sleeves’ end that is supposed to be clean white. It kind of looks like a pink stain but I know it’s just a misprint from the design. It’s not that obvious so it’s all good.

I reckon that it’s originally a Bershka design from their 2013 Spring collection, but seems like I failed to see it in the store. Thus, I can’t really compare it to the original piece. It looks exactly the same though (see picture below).

Have you bought anything from SheInside before?

Ya no queda nada (#TT128)

One of the things that I find fascinating in life is when your favorite singer/band creates a song that truly describes your current situation. You can save your time and feelings explaining everything.

English:

It hurts to lose you

But even more to lose myself

And I realize that nothing,

That nothing, that nothing is forever

Loving each other like madmen

Feeling heaven and touching the bottom today

We lost everything

We became dust

What is left now?

There is nothing left

Now there's nothing left

The last kiss was lacking

And the courage to say goodbye

Today I realize that nothing,

That nothing, that nothing is forever

Loving each other like madmen

Feeling heaven and touching the bottom today

We lost everything

We became dust

What is left now?

There is nothing left

Now there's nothing left

To return to yesterday

And have you again

It was a fleeting

Without thinking, we got carried away

I know that you won't return

Loving each other like madmen

Feeling heaven and touching the bottom today

We lost everything

We became dust

What is left now?

There is nothing left

Now there's nothing left

New playlist songs (#TT127)

Hello lovelies!

Here are some of the hot songs that I've been listening to recently. Hope you enjoy!

Finally a song from the rocker couple! It is very Nickleback-ish and my first impression was that it's a little dull as I can see Chad is playing safe with the song. HOWEVER, this song brings back somewhat the "old" style of Avril. Not to mention that Chad's voice is amazing and the entire video is full of emotions which just makes it even better. 

Ok this is not a new song under my playlist. I just wanna share the video. Eminem-sama! *bows down*. Do I even need to say anything else? :p

Love this MV! It's like Cinderella :D 

Cassadee Pope proves that not only she can sing rock but country songs as well! I still prefer her sing pop-rock though, perhaps because that's what me and most people have been used to. Her songwriting style is still pretty much consistent nonetheless. I still can imagine how her country songs can turn into pop-rock just with different play style on the guitar. Check her Wasting All These Tears here.

I like the beat of this song, not very much of a club song, eh? Unless they make a remix out of it. It's a double-edged sword ;)

Is it just me or does the vocal look A LOT like a younger version of Harry Styles? And this band overall is like 1D that plays musical instruments. It's always a plus point for me :)

And last, but not least..

My first impression: This is a LYRIC video? It's almost like an official vid and it's like a movie trailer with all the legit actors. I guess we just need to wait for the official MV for Gaga to surprise us once again. Music wise, umm I'm not sure. I'm confused. Haha

Which song(s) do you like best?
