    Music Monday: Caswell Shares Her Inspiration

    October 23, 2017 /

    Caswell grew up in Tulse Hill in South London, surrounded by music. Armed with her first microphone at just two years old, she subsequently taught herself the piano and began to formally study music. Drawing from her influencers such as Kate Bush, Jeff Buckley and Nina Simone, to Bjork and Erykah Badu, Caswell has honed herself a signature sound; downtempo electronic soul and pop mixed with a tangible jazz influence. So when Listen! It’s Vetrano asked her to share her playlist of favorite songs and inspiration, it was no surprise that many of those influences showed up on the compilation. The singer also explores many of the facets of her inspiration on…

    Getting Your Sparkle Back With These Simple Steps

    October 9, 2017 /

    Listen, sometimes in life — with work, education, and family noise — we can lose a little bit of our spark. It’s small things that you might not notice at first. One morning you don’t manage to fit in your normal routine, or you find yourself slinging on the same outfit day after day. You might even find that when once you would wear bright colors and bold prints, that your confidence to do such things has lessened somehow. It can happen to anyone, at any point. Life sometimes has a way of getting in the way. If we are going to be real about it, it has happened to…

    Woman Crush Wednesday: Camila Giorgi

    October 4, 2017 /

    As the 32nd best player on the WTA circuit, the Italian sensation continues to serve up the right moves both on and off the court! It’s a second Camila in our regular feature, as Camila Giorgi follows Camila Cabello as my Wednesday Crush Wednesday. In truth, I couldn’t look anywhere else. Camila Giorgi broke onto the tennis scene as a fresh-faced 21-year-old at the 2013 US Open. Five years later, she’s being tipped for a terrific 2019. This is after rediscovering her form over recent months to match her career-best WTA ranking at #30 in the world in September.  Her accomplishments on the court include:  As she prepares to turn…

    Starting a New Chapter: 3 Ways to Follow Through

    October 3, 2017 /

    When you think back, your family might have started a few new chapters already over the years. Getting married, having your first child, starting a new job, finally getting that promotion – and, of course, moving to a new home. All of these transitions can be really challenging and some might be a bit tougher than others; when you know what you’re up against, however, and come prepared, you might find that the change is actually welcome. Whatever chapter you’re starting in your life, make sure that you’ve prepared yourself into a state of mind that can happily accept all of the turbulence that is to come. Here is a…

    Fall Fashion: Must Have Menswear

    September 22, 2017 /

    THE FIRST DAY OF FALL MEANS CRISPER WEATHER, PUMPKIN-SPICED EVERYTHING AND FALL FASHION! It’s no secret summer weather is not my favorite (see: 5 Reasons I am Over Summer), especially when it comes to summer style. So after months of sweating my way through meetings, happy hours and bug-infested porch time, I am beyond ready to welcome fall (and fall fashion). Today marks the first day of the cooler season. And though there’s no sign of the crisper temps swirling through the air quite yet, I can’t help but start thinking about my cozy wool sweaters, fashion-forward jackets and denim on denim (on denim) that’s been stuck in the back…

    The Perfect Summer Playlist

    As the storms that rocked our nation in the final stretch of summer begin to clear and the healing begins, cooler temps arrive to remind us that the season is officially coming to an end. If you’re like me, you’re eagerly anticipating the colder, sweater weather. But more than just the PSLs and crisper fall air, the season delivers fresh new albums from many anchoring artists in music. The ladies are set to rule the fall season this year with releases from Taylor Swift, Kelly Clarkson, Camila Cabello, Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, P!nk, Shania Twain and more set to drop before the holiday season arrives. But before we usher in…

    Cafe Roze in East Nashville is the Best All Day Restaurant

    September 12, 2017 /

    When Bar Luca closed in my East Nashville neighborhood, I was devastated. Mostly because the lighting was perfection for photos, but the rosé on tap didn’t hurt either. Then Cafe Roze opened their all-day cafe just blocks from my home. Hidden deep on East Nashville’s Porter Road, Cafe Roze looked like it was the answer to my Bar Luca void. Score! Our first trip to Cafe Roze (pronounced like the flower, not the wine) was forgettable. The bitchy queen that greeted us at the door for our simple breakfast was unfriendly and his explanation of the wait times sent us packing up the street. I persevered though, unable to give up…
