Lucy’s Coachella Recap

coachella5

Hi everyone! I know it’s been awhile since Coachella Music & Arts Festival wrapped, but I’ve been so busy in the showroom that I’ve had zero time to sit down and write about the experience. Several weeks later, I’m still riding the high from experiencing some of the world’s greatest musical talents in one of … Read more

Album Review: good kid, m.A.A.d. city

kendrick-lamar-good-kid-maad-city

In my honest opinion, Kendrick Lamar is the best thing to happen to hip-hop this year, and arguably this decade.  The 25 year-old Compton native has remained relatively off the radar despite having already released a studio album and several mixtapes, but the rapper caught everyone’s attention in 2012 with a stage set at Coachella … Read more

Best in Show: Coachella Music

So we arrive at the final segment of our Coachella Series – music reviews.  One drawback to Coachella is the scheduling; because the lineup was so extensive, many performers went on at the same time, meaning that we had to pick and choose who we wanted to see.  We thought we did a pretty good … Read more

Coachella Style Stalking

The highly anticipated “festival fashion” post is here. Let us assure you, ladies and gents, we saw some damn good outfits and were able to capture most of them – but this was not without effort. Bloggers seem to hate the term “style stalking,” but let’s be honest here, it’s what you have to do. … Read more

One of the best things about Coachella? THE AWESOME PARTIES.  In fact, there are people who trek to the Indio/Coachella/Palm Springs area without festival passes  - they just come to party.  Most of these shindigs are sponsored by big-name brands in fashion, music, multimedia and press; for those in attendance, there are usually tons of … Read more

Coachella Day Three

We couldn’t have asked for better weather on Day Three of Coachella’s first weekend. It was a glorious 80 something degrees, so naturally, the four of us (Lesley, Lucy, Paulina, and Celby) made the most of the pool that morning. After munching on nummy snacks and sipping down a little pre-noon cocktail we were off … Read more

Coachella Day Two

With Coachella almost halfway over (yiiiikes), we made an extra effort to jump our of bed for Day Two.  We hit The Riviera pool party/Bikini Bar, snagged some chaise lounges, ordered a round of drinks and started soaking in the rays.  The pool was littered with stylish festival-goers.  Beach balls floated in the water, and … Read more

Coachella Day One

It was difficult to pry ourselves out of bed on Friday morning, but thoughts of poolside lounging, mimosas, and in Lesley’s case, Egg’s Benedict was motivation enough.  After a tasty breakfast at the hotel restaurant, we hit the road and jetted towards Indio; we wanted to get to the festival grounds at around noon so … Read more

One thing we learned about Coachella is that it’s just as much about the parties as it is about the music. Thursday is the night of pre-festival shindigs. With #yolo in mind, we pulled it together after our tiring day of travel, and outfitted ourselves for the Filter Magazine party, and boy are we glad we did!  It was … Read more

Coachella: The Arrival

After a quick LAX pickup our fre$h white Ford Escape and an IN-N-OUT excursion that was fitting of the name, we (along with pals Paulina and Celby) hit the road – windows down, snacks handy and Kanye‘s new jam “Mercy” blaring through the speakers. With pre-Coachella adrenaline rushing through our veins, us four newcomers to … Read more
