...15 Minutes With James Morrison
James Morrison, who was the biggest-selling British male solo artist then at only 21, came into the music scene with his first record, Undiscovered in 2006. One of his most popular tunes off this album was "You Give Me Something."
Following the success of his debut album, he came out with Songs For You, Truths For Me. And that's exactly how we'd describe his music: truthful, honest. When asked about keeping things private despite being so open and honest in his songs, he says, "I'm only honest about universal things." He thinks that there are still a lot of things that he keeps to himself, but his goal is to write songs that people can relate to. "I think my responsibility that I put on myself as an artist is to try and write songs for people who can't express themselves," he shares. Taking his dad's advice to keep a little something for himself, he says, "I try to be private in my personal life, but through my songs I try and be as honest as I can be without giving too much away."

Been listening to James Morrisons' The Awakening. His collaboration with Jessie J, "Up," is something I can imagine listening to while looking out my window while a storm rages outside. (OA! Haha, but I really do think so!) —Macy, Web Managing Editor

"Towers" by Bon Iver. For some reason this song gets me so relaxed when it rains, without the gloomy feeling. —Erin, Web Fashion and Beauty Assistant

How To Prepare For A Date
PRE-DATE PREPARATION
The night before:
Choose your outfit to avoid last minute cramming. Wear something that reflects your personality; chances are, you'll be comfortable in it. Are you girly? Opt for a tank top, printed skirt, and embellished sandals. Laid-back? A romper with funky skimmers will look absolutely fab on you. Still undecided? Your best bet is a dressy top with jeans or shorts, and comfy yet stylish shoes.
Prepare your bag in advance so you won't forget anything. Place your kikay kit (plus compact mirror), tissue, band-aid (for blisters!), emergency feminine pad, and wallet inside, so the only thing you'll need to add on the day itself is your cell phone.
Should you need to wax or tweeze body hair, do it already to avoid unwanted redness on the day itself! If you're a shaver, you may do it on the big day.
Check your nails. Are they trimmed and well-kept? If you're thinking of painting them, better do it already, instead of waiting for them to dry right before the date. Remember: dark colors look good on short nails, while light colors may be used on longer nails.
Get a good night's sleep. Beauty rest is essential before the Big Day.
