room + playlist - cleaning the house edition

1. i am obsessed with this room. uggggggggg. it's great. 2. i am hosting a party at my apartment on saturday, so i have to clean over the next few days. to soften the blow a little, i made a 'lil playlist to trick myself into having "fun" cleaning. i know little to nothing about current popular music (except for WATCH ME WHIP because i am alive) but i tried to mix the songs up and include some from the past five years. you can actually press play and hear all these songs after the jump....

room + playlist - dinner party edition

ah, summer. you sneaky little minx. you wake up one morning and it's may 28th and you blink and it's labor day. every weekend seems to slip away in a mix of sweat and drinks and hot dogs off the grill. everyone is busy, and group plans seem harder to make. but, alas, fall is on the horizon. and fall is the perfect time for dinner parties. people are back in town, bored, and scared of winter. the antidote to winter is most definitely social gatherings. anyways, i'm ready for some cooler weather and a good ole' fashioned gathering complete with all the booze my friends decide to bring, plus some fancy food and a smashing playlist. and maybe a rousing game of clue or scrabble. 

so with a party on my mind, i put together a little playlist of songs i've been digging lately. you can listen after the jump...
