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 tried to do one of those "30 days" things in the japanese magazine when you have like 12-15 pieces of clothing and you have to challenge yourself on how you will wear those pieces. I had it all set, picked out my pieces was ready to go...

I was inspired by Chikakos 30 day in the Feb issue of Vivi....

but I only made it a week! haha! It DID made me apperciate my wardrobe more, and prevented me from shopping BUT it also made me feel like I was wasting the clothes I owned. SO it was fun for like a minuet but then I stopped..HAHA, but I will show you what I got through so far...

on the first day (middle bottom cord) I went to go see tanlines in concert @ the metro..THEY RAWKED there was like 30+/- people there in the entire concert hall so it was like a total dance-a-thon! Going was a promotional ticket for seeing yeasayer. They are awesome, adorable, and TOTALLY WORTH IT...
