pitchfork's moonbeam

 talk about chillwavvves, I made it out to Pitchfork this past sunday and soaked up all the sun I could possibly handle. I certainly lucked out because out of this three day festival, sunday was the only one where it didn't rain. It was still a little muddy, but I didn't mind. I made this headband and accessed my inner festival girl. Somewhere between grunge and hippie. I emailed my mom some picks and she said she should have named me "moonbeam" LAWLS. Overall, I did receive a lot of positive feedback from this look, but I did miss looking like my elaine self. (haha! )But its fun to dress up sometimes and step out your comfort zone!

 I got to see all my favorite bands! Beach House. Vampire Weekend, Real Estate. Tanlines....I wish I went on Saturday to see Grimes, Youth Lagoon, Sleigh Bells, and Cults. I felt really positive about this lineup this year, I knew most of the bands!!! (hipster alert) That almost NVR happens! Beach House was all around GUHHH AMAZING, and Victoria LeGrand is my french sister from another monsieur...they opened with Crockette's Theme, which I have not been able to stop listening too, even dusted out my old Pure Moods album, TIME TO GET DOWNNNNNN

Gosh, it was was such a WUNDERFULL weekend, I even had this long thought out conversation with Tanline's drummer Jesse after his set...dream come tru ppls. Speaking of dreams, it's my 200 post ya'll...thanks for joining me for this wild ride! I don't even have a license :P

I will admit I got a little lost these past couple of days. Want to know why? 4 day weekend. I won't specify which, but I work for a production company that when we go to press we get the following Monday and Tuesday off. So not only did I have that strange day off for  the 4th...(it was like a sick day, honestly...) but I got to come back to work for two more days and then kick it for 4 days off.

Want to know what I did....NOT MUCH, and that was the plan all along! I chilled at the beach and jumped in the waves (yes Lake Michigan has wavvvvvves) Ate yummy homemade foods, got dinner with friends, watch hours of The Hour (my new BBC addiction!) and just enjoyed life! It felt so good to not do anything, but stay indoors (mostly) the heat wave was too killer to go out. Coming back to work on Wednesday this week wasn't too bad! I felt re-engerized, refreshed, and ready to start a new production cycle , POW POW! But I am always TGIF-ing, I'm ready to soak of that sun this weekend at Pitchfork Music Fest!

and by sun I mean thunderstorms! c'est la vie! I'm totally channeling the 90s non-stop recently. Just nothing but the 90s! (oh I'm saving that for a blog title later!) I feel as though I'm becoming too people, a preppy artsy androgyny at work, then 90s playsuits mixed with 80s new wave and 70s boho. Ah I can't pick a style! All I know is that I like to look weird and play in the sun! I'm really pushing myself to have complete looks, head to toe people, head to toe!

BY THE WAY, if you want more AVANT BLARGH awesome-ness check out the guest post I did for Ms. Julia!

AND HAPPY BASTILLE DAY....
