Coachella 2012 ALREADY?

Not long ago I was posting everyday counting down the days to Coachella and later finally my anticipated Coachella 2011 post, but now I guess I will never stop talking about it because the news is in: Coachella will be holding a double festival. That's right, two consecutive weekends that will be designed identically in order to accommodate a larger crowd. How insane is that? Even though I will be living in the music capital of live performances next year, attending Coachella 2012 would still be my dream come true! I am trying to attend Friday for ACL to see Coldplay and Kanye, who blew my mind away at Coachella this year, so hopefully I find a Friday ticket!

p.s: I got invited to a fashion event so be on the look out for pictures from that and also soon to come- a post dedicated to the 2011 Tickle Me Pink Fashion Show which was a great success! I co-produced the show and designed and I must admit that even though I already knew I wanted to be in the fashion industry, this show heightened my need to start working on fashion shows! My lovely sister took pictures of the show, and they turned out great!

I had an 8 hour layover in Germany, and lucky for me I was able to walk around Frankfurt for a couple of hours. Although Frankfurt was no Paris, it was indeed Europe. The cobble stoned streets surrounded by little  cafes and designer shops such as Jil Sander and Akris made me realize even more that I must live in Europe at some point in my life. Walking around, taking stalker photos of the impeccably dressed men, I kept saying to all my friends how most American boys lack style and need to learn from the men in beautiful suits that live in Europe. I had just gotten off a 10 hour plane flight and carried my carry-on luggage throughout the day, and let's just say I didn't look that great. I felt like the most unfashionable human being in the city (a feeling I despise) wearing skinny jeans, converse, and a scarf. Even elderly woman were rocking ballet flats and cargo skinny jeans, a trend I found common throughout my wandering of the streets. This was how I spent my few hours in Germany:

Back from across the world!

I am finally back from Europe and Israel and I immediately went to work upon arrival with Tickle Me Pink stuff! The show was yesterday and it was amazing! Pictures from the show will be posted shortly! Also during my one day in Frankfurt, Germany, I got some great pictures of the street fashions! Those will also be up shortly!

Fried cheese and fedoras: Coachella 2011

I am back from one of my most anticipated trips and while I was unpacking my clothes from my music festival getaway vacation, I had to wash and later repack it for my latest trip, that is to Germany, Poland, and Israel! (I will be gone for a month, so I will be taking a hiatus until May 25th, more details to come).

Coachella was filled with musical talent, interestingly clad people, and people who danced with a fever of ecstasy. It was amazing, to say the least. Props to all the people in charge of planning Coachella, you did a wonderful job! I ran from stage to stage like a chicken without a head, trying to hear everyone, despite the conflicts. It was hard, and I'm pretty sure I lost weight from walking so much, but that may have been due to the "Trail of Tears"--the dreaded walk from the music festival back to the shuttles. The weather was beautiful and it was always in the high 90s, but it did tend to cool down at night.

I was not disappointment by any of the performances that I saw, and all the artists and bands were fantastic. I was in indie music heaven, and techno heaven! Never in my life have I danced so much, or had so much fun. Sometimes I had to separate from my group to see bands that they didn't want to see, and I still had a blast! In general everyone was super friendly and at Coachella for the same reason as me--to hear some of the best live musical performances. However not only was I there to hear music, but to snap some candid shots of fashionable folks! There were people there from all over, and from the accents I picked up, I heard some Australians and Irish people among the few! It was really quite an experience, and not sleeping the night before to pack the perfect outfits was worth it (I literally slept 2 hrs the night before Coachella). 

Enjoy the pictures! These were all taken by me, but later I will post some pictures of celebs that were at Coachella such as Whitney Port (of which I did not take pictures of)! 

Most seen outfits:
Jean cut offs
Fedoras
Floppy hats
Maxi dresses
Crop tops
Native American headdresses
Lace-up boots (even in the desert!)

At A-Track (I'm pretty sure that is David Macklovitch of Chromeo since A-Track is his younger brother...)

After Empire of the Sun, on our way to Arcade Fire!

Angus and Julia Stone

p.s-and one of my cousins who I went to Coachella with, made fried cheese at night when we'd get back to the hotel around 2 am. Delish.

COACHELLA BOUND!

I have never taken so long to pack, in my life! This will be the last post of the series, as I depart today for COACHELLA! The wait is finally over and I am more ready than ever to go! I will officially decide what I'm going to see tomorrow during the trip!

COACHELLA COUNTDOWN: Two Days

The set times are up, and I am disappointed to say the least! Who can choose between the Black Keys, Brandon Flowers, Marina and the Diamonds, and Cut Copy? There are plenty of other schedule conflicts, and I want to cry (but nonetheless whatever I see will be EPIC). I don't know how I am going to do it, running across the desert from stage to stage. Hopefully I can pull off a few half and half shows. Check out these great artists and bands, which I hope to actually see!!

Marina Diamond

Gogol Bordello

The Rural Alberta Advantage

Cut Copy
