SPRING CONCERTS | THE 1975

After being one of my fave sets at coachella, I just had to see these guys live again. The 1975 kicked off their north american tour in san francisco just days after their coachella debut. What was originally planned as one show turned into three: 2 in SF and 1 in sacramento. They are incredible live and I would hands down recommend a show to anyone. Matty has a way of connecting with the audience, and his nightly bottle of wine on stage adds such a carefree flare. What's even more adorable is no matter how fucked up he got every night, he would stay after to meet some fans who waited outside the venue. For this and everything else, I just love him so much.

On the day of the 2nd SF show, we decided to go to their signing at rasputin music downtown. They were doing an acoustic set before, but since the line was so long (idk why these kids were not in school) we didn't think we would make it in for that part. Much to our surprise, the store let more people in than expected and we got to enjoy and acoustic version of "sex" and "chocolate". amazing. After that, everyone who had purchased the required CD lined up for the signing. Unfortunately, the band sat on the other side of a large table so pictures other than distant selfies were not possible.

We didn't have tickets to the 2nd show and in some beyond explanation way we got guest listed by Matty. Yes, let that thought settle in. guest listed by fucking matt healy. Makes the list of top concert moments for sure. After another amazing night, we couldn't help but add a third show to our agenda, sacramento.

For this show, we got guest listed by one of the opening acts, the bad suns, and enjoyed another night in concert glory. As much as I wanted to continue on for more, I time and planning wouldn't allow me to venture off to the midwestern states & canada. until next time, boys!

COACHELLA 2014 | WEEKEND 1

If Disneyland hadn't coined the motto, "the happiest place on Earth", this would surely be it. My 2nd year at this festival was just as amazing, if not better than the first. Coming back as a veteran rather than a rookie, you know what to expect and are able to manage your time better. It's just a bubble of happiness, where everyone just wants to have a good time. incredible. unreal. beautiful. beyond words, and you just have to see it to believe it! Definitely worth the price tag. Some favorite acts: Pharrell, Girl Talk, Ellie Goulding, Outkast, the entire Sahara tent and Yuma tent...the list goes on!

Of course, coachella has a big rep as being the place for the hottest festival fashion (cc vanessa hudgens). People plan outfits ahead of time and go shopping just for the event. I think it's a fun occasion to dress up for, that has a certain style outside that of everyday wear...bohemian, hipster, and flower crowns galore. def a place full of inspiration. and who says you can't rock these looks outside of the polo fields?!

Outfit details (left to right):
- day one > kimono: nordstrom, black ruffle bandeau: forever 21, necklace: nordstrom, high waisted denim shorts: DIY, sandals: unlimited via marshalls, sunglasses: target
- day two > hat: h&m, sunglasses: primark, top/denim shorts/necklace: forever 21, booties: h&m
- day three > sunglasses: primark, crop top/high waisted shorts: urban outfitters, shoes: vans

HI, NICE TO MEET YOU

I was randomly inspired to start a blog.  I mean, it has been a lingering idea for awhile, and I finally got the urge to take action. Our world nowadays is so driven by technology and social media...let's be real how much time do you spend on facebook, twitter, instagram, snapchat, etc...and since I spend so much time on the go, I thought I would put the two together and hope that the product would be somewhat cool to look at--both for others and for myself day dreaming in the nostalgia of memory lane some years down the road. So if you're reading this, thanks for stopping by! This blog will be dedicated to basically all the things I spend my life doing...travel, concerts, dance endeavors, and being a part-time fashionista. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride! xoxo, N.
