The song of the week is “The Hype” by twenty one pilots. It’s the sixth song from the band’s fifth studio album, “Trench”. I’ve already chosen a song from this album for the song of the week, it’s “Chlorine”, which I still like so much.

OBJECT OF DESIRE: SOICHER MARIN PRINT
Soicher Marin is a family business, established in 1959, that creates beautiful work of arts. When I saw “Live Free or Die” print I immediately liked it for its delicate colors and its strong message.
It’s a giclée print on archival paper. Giclée is a digital printing process used to obtain a print of superior quality. Soicher Marin only uses archival paper and canvas and water soluble, environmentally safe inks, renewable wood products, paper and packaging materials to keep the footprint of the works of art as small as possible. Such a huge plus, right?
This print comes with a wood and glass frame.

BEAUTIFUL/THE AVENER FT. BIPOLAR SUNSHINE
“Beautiful” by The Avener (featuring Bipolar Sunshine) is the song of the week. I’ve never heard The Avener’s music until I read one of my favorite newsletter where he was mentioned. So I listened to a few songs and chose this one for the blog.

RED IS THE ULTIMATE CURE FOR SADNESS
I chose some words by Bill Blass for the title of this post because, even if I’m not sure red is an actual cure for sadness, it seems that wearing red can improve your mood. If it doesn’t, at least you’ll be wearing a great, flattering color. In fact, as Mr Valentino Garavani stated, red is a color that flatters everybody.
Red is a statement color, even controversial, hence some people don’t feel comfortable wearing it. It’s associated with energy, strength, power, passion but also with war, anger, and danger.
According to some studies, men perceive women who wear red attractive while women perceive men who wear red aggressive and dominant.
So, a touch of red. Why not?
If you believe in a certain type of philosophy you may find interesting that red actives (or is supposed to activate) the root chakra, which fosters confidence and energy.
Regardless of what you believe in, red is for sure a great color.
These are the red pieces I found for you.

MAPS/YEAH YEAH YEAHS
The song of the week is “Maps” by Yeah Yeah Yeahs, which has been in my music folder for a while. I hope you’ll like it. It’s from 2003 but it doesn’t seem 16 years old, at all.

You can stay at Barbie’s Malibu house for only $60 a night but it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity because it will available only for three days, from October, 27 to October, 29. Well, $60 per night to stay in most of women’s childhood dreamhouse was too good to be true! {on StyleCaster}
I’m sure you have already read articles about Anna Wintour’s daily routine (or at least heard about it). This is probably the best one I read so far, because the information comes directly from Masterclass.com, a site that provides online classes taught by people like Wintour, Annie Leibovitz, Margaret Atwood, Neil Gaiman. I’d love to subscribe. {on CNBC}
