//Max & the Moon

You should check out Max & the Moon, they're pretty awesome. "Out of My Head" is a really good track. Check 'em out on Spotify. 

//Coachella

So I'm really sorry for lack of updates in the last week, I've been at Coachella Weekend 1 and now am very sick! But I thought I'd post my outfits that I wore last weekend.

On Day 1, as you can see above, I wore Mink Pink's Scorpio Rising dress, with my new favorite bag that I had personalized, the 11" black Cambridge satchel, from of course the Cambridge Satchel Co. If you're at a festival it is best to wear boots, so you aren't constantly stepped on (see Sahara tent experiences), so I opted for my favorite pair of black Chelsea boots I own, and my round Ray-Bans that look so rock n' roll - esque. 

(please excuse bad quality of Instagram photos) This is what I wore on Day 2. It was much colder than expected last weekend, Friday was mighty chilly, and rainy, and Saturday ended up being even colder at night, so I thought pants were probably a good idea. I wore my favorite new boots from Opening Ceremony, and a combo of American Apparel twill pants and a striped tee. 

On Day 3, I was finally able to wear actual "festival ready" clothes, like my favorite dress from Topshop and my Alexa Chung for Madewell "Pixie" jacket. This linen dress is my favorite because its lightweight, and a bit different from typical hippie-inspired festival wares. 

What did you wear to Coachella / what are you wearing this weekend? Who were your favorite acts? Mine were the Vaccines, Arctic Monkeys, Real Estate, and Wild Flag. Can't wait until round 4 next year!

//Something

Something musically related for you - Chairlift's new album is out today! They're a band I've really come to enjoy.

Some links to definitely check out are their life performance of "Sidewalk Safari" "Amanaemonesia" and their live Black Cab session. All really rad!

//Get Away

I saw Yuck this past weekend for the second time after seeing them at Origami Vinyl in February, and it was such an excellent show. They have definitely made one of my favorite albums of this year. Check out their rad vid for "Get Away".

//Playlist #1

I made a playlist of current songs I'm liking. They're in alphabetical order by song title. Includes Arcade Fire, Panda Bear, Ducktails, Wavves, No Age, Yuck, the Strokes, etc. 

Check it out here. 

//Reptilia

The Strokes were my favorite act at Coachella this year, I really was looking forward to them playing, as I have never seen them live. When they performed "Reptilia," my favorite song, I think I lost it.

Its an excellent mix of dance pop, new wave, and just perfect jams in general. A nice prelude to summer!

//Hard to Explain

"Hard to Explain" / The Strokes

Coachella is fast approaching, and one of the bands I'm most excited to see are the Strokes. They've been one of my favorites for a long time, but finally, I will get to see them perform!
