Que Sera Sera

Yes, I finally made it to the Big Apple...
I've been preoccupied with apartment searching, getting to know the city more intimately, and, you know just uprooting my entire life in general, hence my failing to post regularly this past week.
But I still love you, and I promise I won't ever leave you for this long again--unless someone is trying to take me to Spain for a month. 
And, in that case, you're on your own again.

Now, to the music:
When I boarded Flight 420- on 4/20 to make the big move, (ironic, no?) this tune was playing in the Virgin lounge and seemed like a hauntingly appropriate theme song for my adventure ahead. 
Because in New York City, whatever will be, will be...

What To Wear While Listening: 
'Back In Black'
Time to set the Havianas and Cali sundresses aside. It's New York. When in doubt, wear black and wear leather.

Too Cool for School

New York, New York

Hello Everyone!! I know it's been awhile since we've chatted. 
Did you miss me? Because I missed you.
 This past weekend at Coachella was one epic extravaganza of music, clothes and food. Despite the Tundra-esque weather that blew through the Coachella Valley on Friday, all was well and raging at the music and arts festival. 
(And yes, I am still recovering from the beer and non-stop dancing. More details to come over the next few days about my favorite moments of the weekend) 

And, in other news, my move from Los Angeles to New York City will be taking place this Friday! I am excited, anxious and terrified of packing.
In honor of the big move, I present you with, the single most classic song about New York--sorry Jay-Z and Alicia, Frank and Liza did it first (and better.)

What To Wear While Listening:
'City Slicker'
You know, for Le Baron on Saturday night.
All that Glitters

Around The River & Through The Bend, To The Coachella Valley We Go


Before I leave to Shangri La, I'd like to leave you with one last thought:

"Music got me feeling so free, We're gonna celebrate"
Because no one ever said it more accurately, or eloquently, as Daft Punk.


See you Gangstas in the desert.

Look Rad & Listen to The Rapture

 Today is the eve before the eve of Coachella, and I know all you dirrty, music lovin', dance floor freaks are just as excited as I am. To keep the momentum up, I've decided to bring you the footloose and fancy free musings of none other than, New York's, The Rapture. The Indie-Dance-Punk band, who has been mentored by LCD Soundsystem's James Murphey, is set to take the Mojave stage this Friday. 
Take a listen to their classic tune,  How Deep Is Your Love  and tell me you're not psyched to get all sorts of weird in the Mojave Tent.




What To Wear While Listening:
 'Hipster Cut-Off'
 Words don't adequately explain the love I have for a great, graphic print sweatshirt. Pair your sweatshirt with a bra-let (you'll be hot at some point), a bright pair of shorts, funky accessories and you'll have one of the most effortlessly cool looks at the festival.
