it's lolla time

Sorry for being so MIA again. My computer screen decided to burn out on me, so I said 'Eff it, I'm getting a Mac!' So then I played the waiting game til my new baby arrived. [who still needs a name, suggestions are welcome!] Then I was helping out with a play, so for two weeks my life was work all day, play all night, literally. 

Now, I'm embarking on a real vacation...IT'S LOLLAPALOOZA TIME! [aaaah!] I am so excited to be seeing some of these bands, AND Perez Hilton is throwing one of his EPIC 'One Night In...' concerts, and I'm trying to snag some tickets---so wish me luck!!! We'll also have a little time to play tourist and do some Shia spotting[Transformers 3 is still filming, right??]

 So enjoy these images from weheartit, and check back next week for some personal images from the festival...

Bands I am DYING over:

LADY GAGA!

Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros

la la lolla

After waxing poetic about it for...2.5 years now, I am FINALLY going to Lollapalooza! [aaaaaaaaaaah!] The tickets have been ordered, travel arrangements are in the works, and most importantly FASHION choices have begun to be planned. I mean. Lady Gaga, Green Day, Phoenix, and a bunch of other bands will be there, and outfits must be carefully chosen according to theme, with emphasis on what will get me on style.com's wrap up. :) 

So. Excited.

more lolla-inspired sets to come, i'm sure. :)

lollapalooza love

This past weekend Chicago became a multi-stage mecca for music lovers with the annual Lollapalooza festival taking place. I told myself, this is the year I'm going, a lot of bands I like and wanted to see were playing, but then I realized "this is the same weekend as my mother's surprise 50th birthday party," combined with my current lack of funds, my Lolla dreams were detained once again. Here are some of the stylish folks who braved the heat and attended the festival this year, courtesy of style.com
