Liza's October 80's Playlist

So it's no secret I'm an 80's fiend. Although I was born in 1984, I remember quite a lot from this amazing decade.... ESPECIALLY the music. My sister and I are former dancers and would blast some of the tunes below on our little pink cassette player. To this day, 80's music is always playing in my apartment and in my car. Anyways, I thought I'd do a little themed playlist this month and change it up a bit. Hope you like! I am kind of obsessed... Hahahaha. XO, Liza

Belinda is a classic 80's pop star. "Heaven is a Place on Earth" anyone? Yep that's by her too. She is fab.
Am I a major nerd for liking this adult contemporary 80's song? I think so... This tune though was kind of ruined for me when the blind guy on American Idol sang it. Agh, oh well.
Classic Cure song.
Favorite Def Leppard song hands down. 
EVERYONE knows this one, right? It's cliche, but I had to include it it my playlist.
Ahh Stevie Nicks how I love you. Alone or with Fleetwood Music, she is the best. She is SO young in this music video!
I couldn't decide whether I should include this song by Heart or "Alone." They are both great Heart hits.
The Bangles were definitely my sister and I's favorite girl group in the 80's. We honestly killed that cassette. Oh AND did anyone see them perform the other night on "Dancing with the Stars?" They sound EXACTLY the same.
No playlist is complete without Madonna, whether it's 80's or now! This song of hers is one of my faves.
RIP Michael. Such a talent. Love this song.
New Order's music is so soothing to me. Never get sick of it, especially this song. 
And to end, some Prince of course! One of my favorite songs of all time. I saw the Joffrey Ballet years and years ago do a whole ballet to Prince music. Let me tell you... it was unbelievable. The dance to this song was simply gorgeous.

Liza's September Playlist

So guys, here is my little playlist for the month of September. I just realized a lot of these songs are super slow and somewhat depressing? Hahaha! Whoops! Such classic ones though. Enjoy! XO, Liza

Love this new tune by Lenny. I feel he hasn't come out with something fun and fast in a while now. Been playing this one on my rides home from work lately.
Another gorgeous song from Bon Iver for the month. 
Can't go wrong with David Bowie in my eyes. He is AMAZING.
One of my favorite songs of all time. Although it's dark and moody, I could listen to it every day. So beautiful.
Great driving song.
Kate Nash reminds me a bit of Regina Spektor, who I adore... especially in this particular song. This is the only song I have of hers, but I should definitely look into her others.
Gets me in a lovey dovey kind of mood...
Thought I'd throw this song in. Nothing super special, but good.
Ugh! ADORE Annie Lennox. I mean, who doesn't?
This is for my man. He has been playing a crap load of Neil Young lately and yesterday I had to tell him,  enough! Well I do like this song a lot though...

Liza's August Playlist

Can't believe that it's already halfway through August! Summer has really flown by, right? Anyways, before the month ends, here is a little playlist of mine that's been on rotation on my ipod. Hope you enjoy!  XO, Liza

Adore Colbie Caillat and adore this song!
Jessie J is a fabulous new artist on the scene. Her voice is amazing and I'm loving this particular song of hers.
Gavin DeGraw reminds me of when I was nineteen... my best friend and I constantly had his music on while we cruised around Chicago and Nashville. Definite nostalgia listening to his voice.
A great dance tune that's been on constant repeat for me!
A little 70's in the mix...
Going to see Portishead in the fall and I can't wait. This is one of my favorite songs of theirs.
Love C.S.S. Their music reminds me of 2006 and always puts a smile on my face as cheesy as it sounds!
This Shirelles song covered by the late Amy Winehouse is insanely gorgeous. RIP Amy. One of my all time favorite artists.
Sara Bareilles has such a beautiful voice. Period. I love that her music is a mix of slow and upbeat.
Love the soulfulness in this 1960's hit. Makes me want to dance around my apartment all day. Haha!

Liza's July Playlist

Music is another major interest of mine besides fashion, so I felt I'd give you guys a little playlist I conjured up for the month... Hey, I might make this a monthly thing! What do you guys think? Here are some songs that have been on heavy rotation on my iPod at the moment. Whether I am cruising around, laying by the pool, or blogging, I am never without some tunes! XO, Liza

Love Foster the People. Their music is fun and upbeat. Can't go wrong.
So who doesn't just LOVE Adele? Her music is beyond catchy and her voice is so beautiful. This is one of my faves from her recent album. 
I've never cared much for Nicki Minaj, but I do like this song for some reason!
My boyfriend and I's favorite summer song! What a great tune... instant hit!
Fitz & the Tantrum's album is on constant repeat for me. I love their old school sound.
TV on the Radio is a fabulous group. All the music they put out is amazing. I've kind of killed this song, but I still love it.
This song is so cute. Love love love.
I was a major fan of "The Voice" this summer, so I had to include Javier on this list. I am so glad he won because he is the BEST. Such a gorgeous voice. I never liked this Sarah Mclachlan song until he covered it.
I've probably played this song a bazillion times this past winter... still not really sick of it though!
Wow. I just listened to this for the first time the other day and I adore it.
