I don't know about you, but there is nothing that we enjoy more (with the exception of clearance sales) than a pleasant picnic on a sunny day. Here are some of our ideas to make your picnicing adventure a bangin' time.

1. Pick a park, make sure you don't go somewhere too muddy or filled with kids playing football. All you need is a hefty grass stain and a bunch of whiney children to spoil your day, no thank you.

2. Pack a basket, if you don't have any food in your house pick up a pizza or some sushi on the way.

3. Bring some fashion or gossip magazines to geek out with.

4. Bring your iPod speakers for some quality listening fun.
Picnic Playlist:
• Another Sunny Day--Belle & Sebastian
• Quelqu'un M'a Dit--Carla Bruni
• Paper Planes--M.I.A
• Eyes--Rogue Wave
• Butterfly Nets--Bishop Allen
• Condor Avenue--Elliott Smith
• Blue Skies--Albert Hammond Jr.
• Son's Gonna Rise--Citizen Cope
• Technicolor Eyes--Backseat Goodbye
• Postcards From Italy--Beirut
• I Turn My Camera On--Spoon
• Rapture Rapes the Muses--Of Montreal
• Not Going Home--The Elected
• Running Out--Mates of State

5. Wear some snazzy sunglasses for that bright sun.

We went on a picnic last Saturday and had an excellent time. There was a slightly sketchy situation with some obvious drug dealers attempting to hit on us, but it was easily avoided by ignoring them/waving them off.

A cheap hipster. Is there any other kind?
I doubt it.
So, I have compiled a little collagey thing of some frugal finds I have come across. You may notice a theme. Yes, I am feeling very bright and disco at the moment. Other frugal finds posts will be less...red yellow blue green fluorescence.

01. FredFlare.com | Okay, I lied, it's not exactly the most frugal. It's about $25 dollars, but come on, it's incredible. And don't get the Charlie Brown one, I just liked the boy in that picture. Definitely go for Schroeder, because as Cass says, "Schroeder is the ultimate symbol of tortured musician...he is the original emo."

02. Fredflare.com | $5.99 Babayyyy. Totally worth it, too. Risky Business gone disco indie. You know you want it.

03. Threadless.com | $12 Girls, $15 Boys. One of my (new) favorite sites. Threadless allows you to send in T-Shirt designs, and potentially win prizes. Basically, you're guarenteed to have a really original shirt.

04. PartyCity.com | $4.99. I am fairly certain these speak for themselves.

05. Claires.com | $3.50. Don't tell me you can resist neon glitter. I'm sorry, but I don't believe you if you say you can.

06. Youtube.com | FREE. No way. Well, I just felt like including this, because it's funny and ironic. And free entertainment. What more could you ask for?

I find that my music taste has many different personalities and personnas. I give you some of my favorite bands for a few of my many states of mind. Enfuckingjoy

Essentials:
Yea yeah
Frank
Lightspeed

Love it.

The Virgins
A funky fresh sound with a dash of sophistication for that groovester side of you (it doesn't help that they're attractive either)
Essentials:
Radio Christine
One Week of Danger

Leave it.

Sparrow House
From the brilliance of the man who brought us Voxtrot, a definite chillout band for those crazy days.

I've always had a little obsession with french film. But I saw one recently that inspired me to basically no end. It's no surprise that Day For Night was named one of Time Magazine's Top 400 Films ever made. To give a brief little synopsis, it was filmed in the 70's (when I should have been born) by famed director François Truffaut. The movie is about the making of a (fake) movie called Je Vous Presente Pamela (May I Present Pamela). It stars Jacqueline Bisset, definitely in my top ten most beautiful women of all time. She's seriously stunning, I'm completely envious. The movie is one of those ones where you see it, are not sure if you like it, and then as time passes you realize how incredible it was.
I obviously am obsessed with french culture, I mean there's no doubt about that. But Day for Night is a movie that I insist anyone see.
Anyway, it inspired me. And I made a little collage.
If anyone comes across $1300, be sure to send it to me so I can buy the Dior Oui ring.

Patrick Wolf may just be a mad man but he is the soundtrack to my city life. His deep voice is completely hypnotising. Too bad he is gay and far away (ie England).
The Must Haves:
Paris
Peter Pan
The Libertine (OF COURSE)
The Wind in the Wires

Patrick is also a style icon. He wears funky, slim, sequiny outfits. His look is avant-garde mixed with freak circus, which about negative five people can pull off.

{He plays the violin!}
Things to note:
He is wearing layers! under his blue sequin shirt is a red polo! Also, red suspenders attached to a large string of pearls.

Things to note: military jacket, royal blue sash

The nub and gist is that Patrick Wolf is a pretty cool kid. Marriage?

We are two girls living in California who decided it was about time we shared our favorites with the world.
Or at least with whoever reads our blog.

I'm Cass but Dani calls me Sunshine. I'm just a bit younger than Lily. I have a crush on Jemaine from Flight of the Conchords even though I just saw my first episode everrr last week. I don't speak french and I don't even know what the site name means. Simple? I really like music. No, I really LOVE music. I am obsessed. It's a disease. I also enjoy neon crazy straws and my purple lamé headband from American Apparel. I'm pretty salty about gray weather and teen magazines. I am the cheapest person you will ever meet, kind of yes. Although I love growing up here I would still rather be anywhere else. Preferably somewhere with accents. My hero//upperclassman crush has got to be Lily because she can do all that trippy stuff on the computer and all I can do is type. I also have mad quilting skills. Gracias, bonjourhalfhwaleh,
Cass

Hello pretties, I'm Lily. I'm definitely older, but no more mature. I have a big thing for French culture, and am counting down the days until I can get out of the U.S. and live in Paris. My style icons are Audrey Hepburn and Cory Kennedy (really different, yes.) I am completely devoted to NYLON magazine and won't have it any other way. Unless i-D, Zink, or Paper puts out a good issue that month. I write in her Moleskine notebook whenever she can, because it's maybe the coolest thing I own. I collect vintage and designer, and have amassed quite the stockpile. I like grammar and spelling. Oh right, did I mention I'm a huge dork? I love indie movies...but Cass got me into that. I have a huge crush on Brett from Flight of the Conchords. I have always had a secret place in my heart reserved for the Olsen twins. I have a collection of Vogue magazines that started when I was eleven. It's getting to be a little bit of a hassle. I read trashy books but every so often will spend time with a good novel. Otherwise, I'm just your typical teenage girl.
