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…

PhotobucketRooftops 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!”

Topshop Topman Lollapalooza After Party

This weekend, I attended the Topshop/Topman Lollapalooza after party at Bar Deville. The venue was super laid back which goes along with the whole music festival theme. There were all sorts of people there; from those who were at Lolla all day in their cut-offs and tank tops to those decked out in dresses and sky high heels. And yes, I drank PBR in 6 inch Louboutins…so what? 🙂

Ran into Jeff from The Midwestyle!

This was such a fun event, and I got to see Tinie Tempah perform…which was really awesome. I’ve heard a few of his songs before but it was way cooler to see him live.

So basically (once again), Zapwater killed it. And I am so looking forward to more Topshop events and even more so…the TOPSHOP OPENING NEXT MONTH!
