Lucy’s Coachella Recap
Hi everyone! I know it’s been awhile since Coachella Music & Arts Festival wrapped, but I’ve been so busy in the showroom that I’ve had zero time to sit down and write about the experience. Several weeks later, I’m still riding the high from experiencing some of the world’s greatest musical talents in one of … Continue reading
Album Review: good kid, m.A.A.d. city
In my honest opinion, Kendrick Lamar is the best thing to happen to hip-hop this year, and arguably this decade. The 25 year-old Compton native has remained relatively off the radar despite having already released a studio album and several mixtapes, but the rapper caught everyone’s attention in 2012 with a stage set at Coachella … Continue reading
Best in Show: Coachella Music
So we arrive at the final segment of our Coachella Series – music reviews. One drawback to Coachella is the scheduling; because the lineup was so extensive, many performers went on at the same time, meaning that we had to pick and choose who we wanted to see. We thought we did a pretty good … Continue reading
Coachella Day One
It was difficult to pry ourselves out of bed on Friday morning, but thoughts of poolside lounging, mimosas, and in Lesley’s case, Egg’s Benedict was motivation enough. After a tasty breakfast at the hotel restaurant, we hit the road and jetted towards Indio; we wanted to get to the festival grounds at around noon so … Continue reading
FILTER Magazine’s 10th Annual Coachella Party presented by Aerie
One thing we learned about Coachella is that it’s just as much about the parties as it is about the music. Thursday is the night of pre-festival shindigs. With #yolo in mind, we pulled it together after our tiring day of travel, and outfitted ourselves for the Filter Magazine party, and boy are we glad we did! It was … Continue reading
Coachella: The Arrival
After a quick LAX pickup our fre$h white Ford Escape and an IN-N-OUT excursion that was fitting of the name, we (along with pals Paulina and Celby) hit the road – windows down, snacks handy and Kanye‘s new jam “Mercy” blaring through the speakers. With pre-Coachella adrenaline rushing through our veins, us four newcomers to … Continue reading
Coachella Countdown: Festival Beauty
Amid the heat, crowds, and lack of readily available mirrors, music festivals make it difficult to look as fresh as your outfit. Add camping to the mix and you’ve advanced to a whole new level of rough. Here are some helpful Youtube vids with beauty tips to keep you looking tip-top during the whole event. … Continue reading
Coachella Countdown: Artist Inspiration, Florence + The Machine
Our second artist in the Coachella Artist Inspiration series is Florence Welch of Florence + The Machine. Florence is NO newcomer to the festival scene – her band has played dozens over the past few years, including Glastonbury, Reading and Leeds, Bestival, Lovebox, Electric Picnic, 1-2-3-4 Shoreditch, Splendour in the Grass, and Bonnaroo. With two platinum-selling … Continue reading
Coachella Countdown: Our Playlist
We are seriously stoked on the artists at this year’s Coachella; this particular festival brings out some serious fashionistas, but the event is, after all, about the music. This year’s show boasts one of the most impressive lineups in festival history (according to sales reports). Listen along with us to the songs we’ve had on … Continue reading
Coachella Countdown: Artist Inspiration, Azealia Banks
The first performer in our Coachella Artist Inspiration series is Azealia Banks. It’s actually pretty impressive that this 20 year-old Harlem-bred beauty is playing at Coachella considering her first single, “212 (feat. Lazy Jay)” literally JUST released in December 2011. Born in ’91, Banks developed an early interest in music and theater; she attended world famous … Continue reading
