Coming to the end of my college career

I love college. No, not for any of the reasons mentioned in that Asher Roth song. I love class; I love my professors; I love the challenge of homework (despite my whining); I love the reward of a good grade; I love the people I’ve met here; I love working out my brain and still…… Continue reading Coming to the end of my college career

Kira Cole for Nylon Guys

A couple pieces I wrote on G-Star and band Chain of Flowers in the September issue of Nylon Guys.

All Good Things Must End

The title is a little dramatic. I’ll be back soon. It’s been a very short summer in NYC, and while I have a few days left, they’ll be spent packing. In the meantime, here’s what I’ve been up to in collage form. I STAY SNACKIN’ GETTING COCKY I didn’t start drinking until I turned 21…… Continue reading All Good Things Must End

Manicurious

Growing up, I was always the youngest girl in the nail salon. I mean, really young. I used to tag along with my mom starting around 3-years-old, which was both a blessing and a curse because 1. I had bangin’ manicures as a toddler, but 2. to this day, I cannot do my own nails.…… Continue reading Manicurious

Annie - "Back Together" We've waited four years to hear from Norwegian pop artist Annie, but from the looks of her new video for "Back Together," off The A&R EP, it kind of feels like we've taken a time machine with her back to the 1980s. The freestyle jam reminds us of the Material Girl herself,… Continue reading NylonMag.com – Good Listener

AlunaGeorge - "Outlines" This track is sexy. As in "throw on your little black dress and check yourself out in the mirror while jamming this and feel like a rock star" sexy. Ignore the otherwise sad lyrics and get lost in Aluna Francis's airy vocals and George Reid's Disclosure-esque beats. Fortunately, the entire album is… Continue reading NylonMag.com – Good Listener

Summer in the city wrap-up (so far)

Here it is, my first blog post. I’ve mostly been using this site to share my published blurbs and articles, but why not share a bit more about myself? I’m living in NYC for the summer interning with Nylon Magazine and serving as a paralegal at a law firm down on Wall Street. Despite being…… Continue reading Summer in the city wrap-up (so far)

Mazzy Star - "California" Mazzy Star released "California" this week after almost half a decade of reunion rumors to give us a taste of Seasons of Your Day, the band's first new album in 17 years. Not much has changed since '96, and we aren't complaining--Hope Sandoval's gentle vocals are as pensive and romantic as ever.… Continue reading NylonMag.com – Good Listener
