Some Spring Counting

While I wear my sunglasses I listen to:

Andy Jay and S-Tee ft. Charlene - Spiralling (L Phonix and Yllavation Remix)

Peer Kusiv - Let Her Go

Midi Matilda - Day Dreams (MyKill Remix)


'But you only need the light when it's burning low 
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow 
Only know you love her when you let her go 
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low 
Only hate the road when you're missing home 
Only know you love her when you let her go'
- Let Her Go

Let's do some exciting Spring 2013 counting:

1. We celebrated Jennifer's birthday. She's 21 now! We went to Namco (to be honest, thought I'll hate it but it was so much fun) and to GBK for dinner. Do recommend trying Gourmet Burger Kitchen.

2. First successful online shopping experience.

3. One shop is now providing me with girly and feminine books daily. So, I'mma read, I'mma read, I'mma read. I'mma take that... (okay, if you don't know how this goes you should listen to this).

4. Finally started my FOUND notebook with a beautiful drawing by my friend Domile on it. I'll try to list my beautiful discoveries daily in order to not forget them.

5. It's getting warm in London. We're talking leather jackets, sunglasses and colourful nails here.

Have a good Thursday - almost Friday day ;)

Hugs and London kisses,

Karolion.

Goes well with Coffee: Random Choices

1. Girl - Lips (Mario Basanov Vocal Remake)

2. Bombay Bicycle Club - Lights Out, Words Gone

3. Sebastien Tellier - La Ritournelle

It's snowing/raining/snowing here again this morning. Not sure if I should keep ignoring this a la winter or should I actually go try and find my Wellies somewhere in the back of my wardrobe.
While choosing today's outfit and drinking my morning coffee, this Monday I'm listening to these.
Hope your playlist makes you feel like you're in a movie and your perfect background is playing too. Because I do believe you are worth feeling like you're in one.


Have a beautiful Monday.
Kisses, KL.

Goes well with Coffee: Miami Horror

I'm capable to handle January as a 'still winter' month but February, to me, is an official fun, search of a perfect bikini, shades and a maxi dress beginner. Don't want to see any wintery editorials no more, no A/W collections, please, just yet. So the same applies to everything: food, music, accessories, style, magazines and nail polishes.

In search of some inspiring music videos and just came across Miami Horror (again, because I do have a part-time crush on them).

Even if this looks disturbing or way out of everyone's comfort zone, isn't the girl lovely and lively?

She and Miami Horror are my greatest inspirers this productive to-be Monday.

Have a great week, kiddos.

Kisses and handfuls of sun,

Goes well with Coffee - Four Tet

I don't usually listen to this kind of music but when challenge "finish educational year, come back home for Christmas, don't give a damn about calories and enjoy mom's food" is completed I allow myself to be... well, just to be me, I suppose. I'm clichéd person sometimes and as that is admitted It seems right to discover such artist as Kieran Hebden (a.k.a Four Tet).

All informative stuff can be found here but I just adore this man for his music.

I've found him when I was looking for more creative version of Stars by The XX. To be honest, that's not my personal favorite of all his tunes but I'm definitely hooked on Four Tet and Burial collaboration's result - Nova.

My 3 last days ended this way and I think this will be no exeption. I just go to SoundCloud, type in Four Tet and play all tunes possible. Honestly fall asleep like a child!

It's Christmas break — perfect time to be honest to yourself and do whatever the hell you want.

Enjoy yourselves, beautiful people.

Cherry cherry tea and sweet sounds now.

Goes well with Coffee - Abuse It

Last week of university got in my way.

As much as I'm in a mood for some quality writing, it's been 6 cups of coffee so far and I'm still stuck in Sunday.

Thank God for Thibaut Berland (a.k.a Breakbot) and his Dane On Glass mix.
Abused it as I abused my coffee.

Let's do some university work for the last week this year and then let ourselves dance in front of our mirrors while listening to some bad ass music.

Off to some more coffee.

Hope to reach you soon.

Kisses and beauties and beats,

Karolion.

Goes well with Coffee - Jasmine Kennedy

With cold making its first kicks and with my cheeks blushing twice as they normally do, I realize that one of my favorite times in a year has come.

Time for good books and woolen blankets. Time for allowing yourself eat ginger cookies and drink more tea than usually.

Regardless of time, there is no moment in my life without suitable music.

To me, winter is probably the coziest and simplest, in a charming way, season. That's why my choice of music for this week is a simple perfection.

Jasmine Kennedy is a 19 year old (soon to be 20) from Batley. She writes songs and tells jokes as her official page says :)
From the minute I heard her singing her heart out, I couldn't stop.

So now I'm sharing my beautiful, charming discovery with you.

Find Jasmine here!

Have a warm week!

Yours,

KL.

Goes well with Coffee - Disclosure

Good morning!

I hope all of you had a great and productive time last week.

I sure did and you will see some of the results very soon in this blog. Although my hands were full, the inspiration and motivation were missing. But it is a good thing I read magazines, because sometimes littlest sentences like "I'd often give full-on monologues to the cat whilst wearing my mother's dresses with lipstick tattoos all over my face."can make you feel joyful again.

So here I am, suggesting my this week's Goes well with Coffee choice.

You know those times when on Youtube you check the video only because of the image (yes, girls do that too)? Well this is probably the shortest way to tell you how 4 months ago I discovered Disclosure.

Disclosure are two brothers from United Kingdom who create house, future music. My first ever listened song by Disclosure was Tenderly, but today they're quickly rising with their first single for Universal Records "Latch" in which you can hear the voice of Sam Smith.

Enjoy your coffee, enjoy Disclosure.

Let you last sip be for sunny Mondays and good music.

Kiss you,

KaroLion.

Goes well with Coffee - Majestic Casual

Whenever you're scrolling down through Facebook or YouTube pages searching for a perfect music, that would help you feel relaxed, put you on a party mood or just would be there as a lovely background, what do you end up doing? Messaging your friends, asking them to send some great links or bands suggestions? Searching for similar artists to ones that you already know and adore?

If none of those actions work, I advice you to visit this blog every Monday morning and discover music that associates with sparks and butterflies.

Monday is all about sounds, that go well with coffee.

This morning I'm sharing with you the miraculous Majestic Casual YouTube channel. Its founder is a young man from Germany. In early 2011 he would've never believed that by this time almost 60.000 people would be interested in music he loves and share.

Couldn't call myself curious, if I wouldn't have tried to contact the Majestic Casual founder. Although he prefers being in a shadow, he told me and KaroLion readers one thing: "I usually don't drink coffee, but when I do, I make sure it's sweet."

Sweet tunes, sweet coffee.

Explore Majestic Casual and I'm sure that these sound will be there as one of your friends, comforters and one of your magical inspirers.

Salute for beautiful mornings and coffee mustaches,

KaroLion.
