Perfect Summer Sandals

I spent the last week visiting friends in both Chicago and New York City! What a trip! Luckily I was accompanied by some great shoes that kept my feet comfortable during all my adventures. The IRIS has quickly become my new favorite summer sandal! My first stop was Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago where the days were hot and rainy, luckily these sandals have a patent leather bottom which makes is easy to clean off the mud. Then I jetted off to New York City where I spent my days strolling the city streets and the comfy soles of these sandals made it easy for me to walk for hours.

What sandals have you been living in this summer?

Scenes from Coachella

I just got back from Coachella and I'm about to get on a flight straight to Taiwan but I wanted to share some photos from my weekend in the desert. As a music industry veteran I was fortunate enough to have a guest pass that let me get the best view in the house for all the bands I wanted to check out.

Left: I'm always lucky enough to stay with my friend who has a wonderful house in the desert.

Right: Beautiful day at the festival! I've actually never been on that ferris wheel, even though I've been to the festival many times.

Left: One of my favorite acts of the weekend, Destroyer's music is always so beautiful. 

Right: The gorgeous and talented Laura Marling, I've been waiting for a long time to see her live.

Left: Los Angeles band Dawes has been a favorite of mine for quite some time.

Right: Andrew Bird has one of the most magical and creative sets! He was perfect at the Outdoor Stage.

Left: One of the sets I was most impressed with was Bon Iver!

Right: One of the many art pieces sprinkled out throughout the festival grounds.

I didn't get photos of some of my favorite acts of the weekend including Jeff Mangum and Mazzy Star. There was so much more to the weekend than these quick snapshots but this is all I have time to share for now!

Is anyone going Weekend 2? Who are you looking forward to see?
