SXSW ~ Sound Check with Nicole Atkins

We met Nicole by pure chance. It was one of those comments that caught our eye and we just happened to peep her feed. Turns out this girl can sing! And we mean like, from the depths of her soul sing....

We sent her a jacket and a few other things. She messaged us as soon as she got her box, and ended up wearing the Stardust Coveralls the entire week in Austin. Nicole played in little bars, on intimate stages & even on front porches.... This is our kind of real.

This is a little glimpse of Nicole Atkins rocking the Stardust Coveralls before one of her performances at SXSW. Story has it, the band is actually now thinking of changing their name to Nicole Atkins & The Cosmos. We couldn't be more stoked!

Make sure and check out some pieces in the shop that are perfect for any music festival, or if music festivals aren't your thing...we have something for all of you wallflowers too :)

Need to hear her sound? Cuz, it will touch your soul....
Check out her incredible footage below from SXSW back in 2007.
We're hooked.

THE CEDRA SESSIONS ⋙ CHELSEA WOLFE

Introducing our very own music guru + new weekly guest blogger babe, Mary Cedra of The Cedra Sessions. We're beyond stoked to have her on board + right here every thursday to share her new music loves + introduce us to hot band babes ♥ 

Chelsea Wolfe is an artist balancing so delicately and perfectly on the sharp edge of light and dark, that just when you think she has stepped too far over one direction she snaps you back. A bright moment of soft lifting vocals or the deep dark reverb of guitars. An LA native that is capturing the attention of music lovers across the board. Twenty twelve found her october release of "unknown rooms: a collection of acoustic songs" on the 'best of' lists of many and for good reason. She's imperfectly perfect. I think i'm in love with this dark angel. xx

rainbow trees, chunky cable knit sweaters, messy hair covered up with slouchy beanies, fresh ganja, bonfires, hot cider with wiskey, new beginings, finding your crush, cozying up + kicking the leaves.

Fall is happening whether you like it or not... better we just go with it.

As you must know, we are completely hooked on our dear friend Mary's Blog "The Cedra Sessions". So much that we had to ask her to collaborate with us on another SH+LS Mixtape!! The Cedra Sessions is our favorite outlet for discovering great tunes, hawt band boys + badass playlists that keep us going through our crazy Lovestoned work days...

Cheers to Fall + new beginings ♥
