Hey - check out the cuties who came out last night for the Style Wars fashion battling championship. It was held at New York’s coolest new boutique hotel, the Stoli Hotel. Afterwards, we took a big white limo that was trolling for customers over to some other party on the Lower East Side and I stayed out too late. xo eddie

Hey - photos from Dance Right last night at La Cita - a cool party at this crazy Mexican restaurant in downtown L.A. - as the Stylesightings California field trip continues! x eddie

Hey - I’m in L.A. now sitting in my hotel room in Hollywood (which is actually a 1930’s apt. building that has been converted into a somewhat funky but cool hotel) feeling quite Raymond Chandler-esque as I pound on my typewriter wearing a straw fedora. OK - so the typewriter is actually a MacBook…but other than that the old-school Hollywood vibe is intact! Before we move this blog on to some stylish L.A.-based activities however, let’s take a moment to review Coachella 2008…
Best Style: Any girl wearing the huge sunglasses and floppy 70’s hat combo. This look combines wealthy 70’s California glamour with a bit of hippie bad girl decadence and danger thrown into the mix. I’m calling this look the “Sharon Tate” and naming her the inspiration for summer 2008.
Best Music Moment: Chromeo late in their set, when they played “Needy Girl”, “Bonafied Lovin’”, and “Fancy Footwork” back-to-back-to-back. Other musical highlights were provided by Hot Chip, Cut/Copy, Santogold, Yelle, and Uffie. Roger Waters was also great - and I’m not really a fan of that sort of thing.
Best Food: A tie between the charcoal-grilled hamburgers and the guacamole and chips in VIP.
Best Party: Anthem magazine’s two-day bash in Cathedral City.
Best Muses: Heidi, Sarah Jane, Julie, Allia…and quite a few mystery girls whose names I will never know but whose style knocked me out.

For a second, I thought I saw a girl at Coachella with a cuter outfit than the Debbie Harry-inspired look that Heidi was rocking…but then I realized that would be impossible and laughed awkwardly to myself.

Whenever you go to a great event these days, you usually are not going to just the “title” event itself. What I mean is that - thanks to all of the PR and magazine-related parties and openings - you could have a great time during Paris Fashion Week without ever seeing a runway show or at Art Basel Miami Beach without ever setting foot in a gallery. As one of the more glamorous music festivals in the world (and let’s face it - most music festivals are decidedly non-glamorous affairs), the Coachella Festival attracted loads of magazine, fashion, film, and music industry parties over the weekend. The best of these was Anthem magazine’s pool party at the Cree Estate in Cathedral City, CA - near Palm Springs. With an all-star DJ line-up, great food, an ice cream truck, and the largest private pool in the desert with a swim-up bar - umm, how could it miss? Here are my photos of the cuties from the Anthem party…xo eddie (Click the thumbnails to see them full-size!)
