Life in Los Angeles can be hectic and often time music lovers find themselves going to various lengths just to catch their favorite local bands’ opening sets, relieve stress by dancing it up at a club, or simply hopping between shows and bars for a night out on the town. We do it because we love […]

The pressure is often high to go all out on New Year’s Eve but sometimes hitting the over-packed clubs and subsequently long ass restroom lines, only to be confronted by a room full of douche bags trying to get laid is over-rated. Not to mention the alcohol price-gauging that often happens at these supposed hot, […]

2014 was a wild ride in fashion. It seemed to be an “everything goes” mentality that said, “if you wear it enough it will become the next big trend,” and yet most missed the mark (see Pharrell’s Arby hat).
