Wait. Why am I JUST now learning about Sleigh Bells? Why hasn’t anyone told me about them? OMG. Mad. I LOVE Sleigh Bells. I was watching MTV early early this morning, like around 3:30AM (you know how they play music videos at that time?) and their video “Rill Rill” came on. I was like. UM. Who are these people? Love love love. I loved the music video. I loved the song. I just had to find out more about them.

“Based in Brooklyn, NY, Sleigh Bells is the musical collaboration of Derek E. Miller (songwriter, guitarist, producer) and Alexis Krauss (vocalist, lyricist). The two met and formed in 2008, when Miller was waiting tables on Alexis and her mother at a neighborhood Brazilian restaurant. When Miller mentioned that he was looking for a female vocalist for a new musical project, Krauss’s mother immediately volunteered her daughter.”

Sleigh Bells currently has an album out right now entitled “Treats” and I think it fits perfectly with their music because that album is full of musical “treats” to your ears. I am so happy I discovered them and was excited to do this post. If you’re not hip to Sleigh Bells, now you are. Here are a couple of my favorite, WELL actually, EVERY SONG IS MY FAVORITE (that’s how amazing this album is, OMG!!!!) songs off of the “Treats” album.

So, there are VERY few Absolutely NO blogs I visit outside of fashion and music, and a friend of mine Josh @GQ50 on Twitter has an amazing one. His blog epitomizes what it means to be a gentleman and touches on a myriad of relationship problems. The site it pretty much the un-official relationship bible.. This is an excellent read, & I strongly recommend everyone visit

Eryka Badu…I am the biggest fan of her music. I don’t know a lot of people that listen to her, but I grew up listening to her. Her music is soulful and it’s the truth. She used the most random topic and made a good song..Bag Lady. Who could make a song about ladies carrying bags be so good? ha. Only her.
