Thursday, April 17, 2014 Nasty Gals In The Wild: I Was There…
Our Junior Fashion Copywriter Remy Ramirez shares her experience at the first-ever Coachella back in 1999, where she swiped up her $50 tickets at a Virgin Records store in Hollywood and survived the desert heat in mid-October.
I Christened Coachella. No seriously, I did. I was the first 18-year-old girl to wear a vintage bikini top, cutoffs, and cowboy hat to the desert—and to roll so hard I’d end up sitting on the grass with two dudes, rubbing their hairy calves euphorically while the headliner’s muffled scream-singing droned somewhere on the other side of a mega-crowd. It went a little something like this.
Wednesday, April 16, 2014 Nasty Gals Do It Better: In The Desert
So, we’re back from our first festival of 2014, and we have two things to say: 1.) We survived, and 2.) We spotted tons and tons Nasty Gal out there in the desert. Don’t believe us? Check out all the NG looks we peeped this weekend below!

Studio Soundtracks:
Chromeo
![]()
Chromeo and I go wayyy back. Let’s just say I made a YouTube video of myself dancing in ’80s pumps to their song “Needy Girl” back in 2007 and (very proudly) posted it to my LiveJournal. Yeah, it was that long ago. (Don’t bother Googling it, people. That shiz is on lockdown.) As it turns out, Dave 1 and P-Thugg stopped by the Fonda Theatre right here in L.A. to play a show before they headed off to the desert, and I got to chat ‘em up about all the latest haps—their upcoming album White Women, festival fashion, and their love for JNCOs. (Seriously.) Check it out below. —Chrissy Mahlmeister
Tuesday, April 15, 2014 Nails: Nagisa Kaneko From Disco Nail
Meet Nagi a.k.a. nail artist extraordinaire Nagisa Kaneko. She lives and works in the hip Shibuya district of Tokyo where she runs an awesome salon called Disco Nail. Nagi’s personal look might best be described as girly new-age goth (or something along those lines), and she rocks it from the tips of her silvery, bleach-blonde tresses to the toes of her tough girl vintage boots.

Monday, April 14, 2014 Trends: Logomania
As we spy the return of big ’90s branding, Paris-based writer Alice Cavanagh shares her take on the super graphic trend.
It all started with a YSL logo T-shirt. I had the classic black and white one in my wardrobe a few years ago and although I wore it with irreverence, the irony was lost on most. Of course now those tees are hot property (just check Sky Ferreira’s Instagram), and it’s not just because Hedi Slimane banished the “Yves” from the luxury brand’s logo. It’s because logomania has reached fever pitch of late and even I—minimal queen from way back when—want in on it.
