Dig These Jams: LORDE - Royals

In honor of the birth of the royal baby of Prince William and Duchess of Cambridge Princess Kate, I decided to pick a song that has some decidedly "royal" influences. 

LORDE seems like a baby herself at the age of only 16 years old, but this New Zealander has had an impressive record that could rival any monarch's. Her first major single, "Royals", has made two times platinum in New Zealand and is steadily climbing the ranks in U.S. Alternative Charts. "Tennis Courts", her latest single, was played during the BBC coverage of the 2013 Wimbledon Championships  Ladies Final. At this rate, LORDE could easily "live that fantasy" and become a bonafide indie princess.  Check out the entrancing music video for "Royals" below:

Do you think that LORDE's "Royals" takes the crown or do you think LORDE is doomed to fall into the impressive shadow of the royal baby?

Welcome to The Crafty Collegiette!

Hello, my name is Beaty Richardson (pronounced Bay-tee, AKA Bea, as in the letter B) and I am an 18 year old college student majoring in Public Relations at the University of Texas at Arlington in Arlington, Texas. Born and raised in neighboring "Cowtown" Fort Worth, Texas, I enjoy all things crafty. I love sewing, creating, and connecting with others through a mutual love of making. I am The Crafty Collegiette. Lovely to meet you all!

I first realized I wanted to blog when I was only 15 years old. I had a very brief stint running a blog called Healthy Obsessions (now defunct), photographing street style and writing about fashion. I loved the support I received and the relationships I fostered through my old blog so, now, three years later, with graphic design experience and two years of fashion design courses under my belt, I am rebranding myself as a DIY and lifestyles blogger.

On The Crafty Collegiette, you can expect DIY tutorials, fashion posts, movie & music reviews, and of course, plenty of articles about being a college student- from experiencing Greek rush to navigating life as a university student. I hope you find this blog entertaining, endlessly helpful, and enjoyable. I am very much looking forward to sharing my ideas with you all!

Welcome to The Crafty Collegiette! Stay and craft awhile!
