Can you guess where I’m going with this based on the title?
Lollapalooza Weekend
I don’t like crowds, I don’t particularly love guys in tank tops yet for some reason I’ve always enjoyed going to Lollapalooza. Maybe it’s the fact that it’s the perfect opportunity to judge people with no remorse or the fact that I can let out my inner hipster (which is more just like a fake hippy) but regardless of all that…I went…and it was awesome.
Things started off at the Gilt City rooftop party Saturday at EnV…
Rooftops are the most valuable asset when it comes to Chicago summers. Remember that.
Lollapalooza Essentials
Whenever I go to a music festival (especially one as large as Lollapalooza) I’m always sure to bring the essentials. Note: this isn’t a post on how you should dress and the different kinds of cut-off shorts you can wear…but more about what you should bring. I promise you’ll thank me later.
I’m that girl who at first people are like “why are you bringing extra toilet paper and a blanket to a music festival?” and later are like “can I use your toilet paper and sit on your towel?” So yeah. I come prepared. And you should too.
First Ever Lollashop Featuring Rad and Refined
For the first time ever Lollapalooza is launching a pop-up shop, appropriately called Lollashop. From July 27 through August 5, you can shop official festival gear, apparel from Rad and Refined and much more.
As a fan of Rad and Refined (who’s now thankfully expanded to Chicago!) it’s awesome to see them be a part of the first ever Lollashop. I spoke with owner Jacqueline Rezak and she said that guests can expect “ultra rad summer gear from MINKPINK, Wildfox Couture, and Otis + Maclain, plus Rad and Refined t-shirts, tote bags, and more!”
Dining With BCBG
Saturday night I had the pleasure of joining BCBGMAXAZRIA Creative Director, Lubov Azria, and the BCBG team for a runway presentation and dinner at Floating World Gallery in Lincoln Park. I’ve lived in Lincoln Park for over 2 years now and I can’t believe I never knew about this place. It was the perfect venue for such a chic evening.
