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

I’ve been coveting glitter boots for ages, and I finally managed to find the perfect (and most ridiculous) pair possible. 5.5 inch heel, 1.75 inch platform. In these babies, I rival Lady Gaga’s own tootsies and stand around 5’9. I’ll need some practice walking (and a trip to Vegas for Halloween as an excuse to … Read more
