What's new is old

The Kessler, Dallas

Swamp Stomp recap

Liberty of London for Target dress

those are some sweet sweet dreads, man

ArtOfficial, Rachel Goodrich, Jahfe, The Lee Boys... all the acts were smashing.

From the Miami New Times website... that head of hair with the headband to the left is me.

The Runaways

Where did this gold sequined butterfly top come from? When I bought mine at a vintage shop in Austin in high school, I'd never seen it before. Now it seems like everybody and their mom has one.

I saw The Runaways last weekend. The costumes in the film were phenomenal and very accurate based on pictures of the real Runaways that I've seen. Downloaded Bad Reputation and You Don't Own Me when I got home. Obviously I already had I Love Rock n Roll.

Ultra 2010

 

Dedication

Nicolette has a show on Thursday afternoons on WVUM 90.5

American Apparel's sales must quadruple in the days leading up to Ultra

 

Armin Van Buuren- Check

Swedish House Mafia - Check

Deadmau5 - Check

WIL.I.AM was surprisingly good too.

Sacrificed seeing Tiesto and David Guetta to go see Chelsea Handler at The Fillmore.


Next year Ultra is going to last three days. I barely survived two!

Otis, my man!

For those who have Animal House listed in their 'favorite movies' section on Facebook...

Otis Day and the Knights will be throwin' down at the Magic City Casino this Sunday, March 7th. Perhaps you've heard of a little song called "Shout!"? Ya, those guys. Concert goers that wear togas are promoted to prime seating. Seriously, who wouldn't want to wear a toga and reenact a classic scene from one of the most iconic movies in all of collegedom?

TOGA TOGA TOGA

One of my best friends visited me this weekend.

H&M crop jacket. black Target maxi dress. black gold leather bracelets from Capri, Italy

Friday we went to Monty's down by the marina in Coconut Grove.

Saturday I took her to South Beach. We had lunch at D'vine Hookah Lounge on Lincoln Road and she found a great paisley maxi dress at Alvin's Island on the corner of Lincoln and Collins. Once you get past all the touristy t-shirts, they actually have some really cute dresses towards the back left corner of the store.

Saturday night, we initially tried to go see Amanda Blank at the Electric Pickle down in the Design District, but it was a $10 cover and we got kind of intimated by the hard core looking people walking ahead of us... So we just went to the Crazy Pianos located within Cocowalk. Crazy Pianos is always fun, but I stumped the cover band with my request for Rockin' the Suburbs by Ben Folds. I wish I would have requested Every Little Thing She Does is Magic by the Police instead.

Full Moons Make Me Feel Fine

Trippy fire twirlers

Gettin' my groove on in my favorite vintage top that I got on some website whose name I sadly can't recall. Thanks to my friend, Chhaya, for snapping this candid shot and the one below.

The full moon drum circle in Miami Beach was rockin' this Saturday night. It is quite possibly the most fun thing I've done in Miami ever, and I can't wait to go again. Next time my ensemble will be much more dance-ready. I'm envisioning a sarong skirt, maybe a jingle bell anklet, definitely some type of head band involving feathers, and shoes will be left in the car.

After all that jammin', we were famished and stopped for a snack at a cafe across from Deauville Beach Resort

This Weekend:

Homestead Rodeo

Dallas Radio

Been listening to KXT 91.7 and Lone Star 92.5 (which was promoting itself at the Wylie Theater before the Ultrasonic Rock Orchestra performance I went to a few weeks back)

Saw Funk Dirty play last night in Deep Ellum

Saw this at Scope, one of the satellite fairs for Art Basel. Very soothing. If I had a rooftop garden, I'd get my own Riot Temple to put on it.

Just got back from seeing Nelo at the House of Blues. They performed at Austin City Limits earlier this year and my 18th birthday two years ago.

Washed Out

Saw Washed Out last weekend at the Terri and Donna Gallery in Wynwood. I went at the recommendation of my friend who's a music editor for the University of Miami radio station. It's good late-night-driving music.

Stylish fellow concert goers.

The Boat That Rocked

I can only hope to be this fabulous at that age.

Must. Have. This. Cape.

Sure, Pirate Radio (loosely based on Radio Caroline) got mixed reviews... but the clothes are fantastic, the ending puts you in a great mood, and the soundtrack is rockin'!
