In high school, when ballet flats had a major revival, I insisted on wearing … Read more

Just after Rusted Revolution’s second birthday, we found ourselves reunited in Chicago for the first time since Coachella, back in April.

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

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

Check out Australian blogger/model Alexandra Spencer (of 4th and Bleeker) in her photoshoot for Free People‘s late January Lookbook. The styling is pretty sick; I’m digging the grungey-glam vibe peppered with touches of East meets West.
