bright lights mad city

I've survived another Coachella and lived to tell about it. But for real though, this one wasn't too painful. The weather, albeit pretty damn windy at night, was completely tolerable. I find that as the years go by, my threshold for being uncomfortable becomes increasingly lower. I blame that whole aging thing. This year I went with PYLO. We scurried around taking polaroid pictures of stylish groups of girls and maybe had a few beers and margaritas in between. A girl needs to keep hydrated! I was lucky enough to get to work and play because I had friends and my boyfriend in attendance. The nights were fun with no shortage of music to run into. Each year there is a set that I don't plan on seeing that blows me away. This year it was Solange. The girl can sing! I love her whole vibe. But the picèce de résistance was when at the end of her performance she brings out...wait for it...BEYONCÉ. I was never a die hard fan, but with her latest album I'm completely on the band wagon. So obsessed with this whole new, bad Beyoncé. Her coming out completely made my weekend. Oh Queen Bey! If you're making the trek out to the desert for weekend two, have so much fun and don't forget to dance the nights away!

When I saw this jumpsuit it was complete love at first sight. Suddenly I had visions of shiny balls hanging from the ceiling and flashing bright lights. Disco fever had set in. This bad boy is absolutely a showstopper. Sometimes I worry about going out and being too over or under dressed. Love that this can completely work for both scenarios. I will not be taking this beauty to Coachella next week, but I do have an arsenal of goodies that I can't wait to share with you all! Who's crazy like me and hitting the desert again this year?

Last week I went to New York where the weather is less than warm. So I shot this outfit right when I got home and relished in being able to run around at night in a muscle tee. Speaking of New York - it was awesome! Unfortunately my sleep schedule was all out of wack. Being jet-lagged coupled with bars closing at 4 am is a recipe for disaster. But I did get to eat a lot of amazing food and see even more amazing friends. Can't wait to share photos from my trip. In the mean time, you can check out my Instagram that is chock full of my NYC snippets. Until next time my friends!

nightcaps and long naps

There are morning people and there are night people. I am the latter. I've always been somewhat of a vampire/ night owl/ lady of the night. For whatever reason, I just love staying up late and find it hard to fall asleep at sensible hours. I think I inherited the habit from my mother. This should not be confused with staying up late partying, drinking, and being the social belle of the ball (wine at home doesn't count). Sometimes I long to be those people that can fall asleep at 9 or 10 o'clock without fail. The idea of me doing that is comical. It's a small victory for me to be in bed by midnight. Pretty twisted right? This is all a very roundabout way of saying I'm pretty tired, man. This week has not involved a whole lot of sleep. I am SO pumped to fall asleep tonight and wake up whenever I please. Maybe I'll even get a donut after.  

Also, if you haven't already, don't forget to enter the Dahlia Wolf x Fashiolista contest! So many clothes and a trip to LA? Pssssh, sold.

come sail away with me

Oh buddy I love this top. I've been wanting the Stone Cold Fox holy tube top forever so this temporarily satisfies my appetite. Temporarily is the key word here. Last week was pretty hectic for me. I slept in like crazy yesterday and fully embraced the lazy Sunday concept. The rain definitely doesn't help motivate a chick either. But movies and wine sure do. 

I'm also a part of a pretty damn amazing contest being held by Dahlia Wolf and Fashiolista. A blogger battle to be exact. The grand prize is a trip to LA. I'm already here soooo that's not so enticing, but if you are not a SoCal resident you should enter! We could totally hang out and stuff :) Rules and more details here!
