Happy Friday! Eye and Ear Candy!

Happy Friday everyone! Stumbled upon Decorated Playlist, a site that streams awesome playlists complete with their very own fab covers. It's run by by designer/former DJ/record collector Simon Foster. I love his illustrations and the page layout for each of his playlists. Music to my ears and eyes! (via Miss Moss -- read her blog now!)

September Mix

It's a new month, which means a new collection of tunes by the lovely Ben. "It's a fun and flirty departure from a summer that's brought downgraded tropical storms and uneventful earthquakes." Enjoy!

Monthly Music - Curated by Ben

My dear friend Ben makes the most amazing mixtapes every month. I think this has been going on two plus years now, I've lost track. Anyway, I'm always discovering new music through him and his mixes are the reason I look forward to the start of a new month. Here's the August mix. Above photo by yours truly, taken in Big Sur.
