Madeleine Peyroux’s CD Careless Love is a timeless classic. I can never get enough her soulful voice on Dance Me To The End Of Love. She has concert dates scheduled for autumn 2008 to promote her latest CD Half The Perfect World. You can find updates for her appearances on her official website and Myspace page.

Colorful Scarves
Scarves are wonderful accessories. They are versatile, practical and useful even during the hot summer months. They can be used to protect bare shoulders from the sun or air conditioning, as a beach cover up, and as a hair accessory.
Jennifer Lopez Summer Look
To wear as a hair accessory, you will need a large square scarf. Fold the scarf in half to form a triangle place over your hair and tie at the back of the neck. I love this look in the summer time. Accent with a pair of earrings or dark sunglasses for a chic summer look.

I like the Urban Outfitters Cozy Fringed Scarf in mauve ($9.99) and the Viscose Scarf in fuchsia ($20.00). The .animal spectator, .congo paisley, and .pebble stripes ($25.00) from Echo are also colorful and fun. LuLu*s also has a decent selection of scarves.

Since I couldn’t decide what to write about first, I’ll go with something simple…food. Most people enjoy fresh fruits during the summer months. It’s something worth spending a little extra for on the grocery bill. Fresh blueberries are so yummy and good for you too.
