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

Lunacy Music and Arts Festival

The other weekend, I had the opportunity to escape reality, journeying into the heart of the Santa Barbara Mountains on a little school bus, fondly named “The School of Bass,” to camp under the stars and groove to some amazingly powerful music with a great crew.  The Lunacy Music and Arts Festival is not your … 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

Lollapalooza in Pictures

I’ve gone to Lollapalooza five years running and each and every time is a completely unique experience. I’d count 2012 as the best one yet. Day One I wore a Nasty Gal floral crop shirt with DIY shredded high waisted denim shorts and harness boots. I accessorized with cocktail rings, a Rusted Revolution Holster handpiece, … Read more

Saturday Pitchfork Playlist

p4k

Quick post tonight — I’m going to Pitchfork tomorrow (alas, only one day), and I still have things to do… like picking out an outfit. Of course. The girly girl in me will never die. Pitchfork is the kid sister to Lollapalooza — laid back, low key, and a lot of fun. But when you’re pitted against … 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

CIMG4653

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

MINK PINK’s Coachella Pool Party

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
