Ah, the glory of summer! Shorts. Popsicles. Beaches. And… Coachella! The Californian kick-off music fest of the summer has just announced the line up, and news flash, it’s totally EPIC!

The line-up of smaller indie acts is somewhat of a Brooklyn hipster-fest takeover, featuring the likes of the Dirty Projectors, MGMT and Grizzly Bear. The heralded second-coming of dancehall, Major Lazer, will also perform at the fest, while old-skool heads can look forward to De La Soul, and Sly and the Family Stone blowing the house down. Also on the bill are The xx, Pheonix, La Roux, Gil Scott-Heron, Sia, Grace Jones, She&Him, the Girls, Little Dragon, and Passion Pit. Oh, and some dude named Thom Yorke???

Now, want to know what was Sarah doing when she wasn’t in the middle of building an amazing résumé? Well, before make-up tutorials started invading Youtube, Sarah Morrison kinda ruled the site. For those not familiar, below is a message from Sarah regarding her Youtube videos:
I used to be big on Youtube. I used to do these videos where I discussed something funny and pretended it confused me. They are all the ones titled “SarahMorrison on __________.” They were pretty entertaining. The newer stuff is just dumb shit at Missbehave and stuff with my friends and what not.
Before you dive into those videos and find yourself in the middle of a Sarah Morrison Marathon 3 hours later, dip into the M.I.S.S. survey she filled out below:
Sarah Morrison tackles the M.I.S.S. survey.
M.I.S.S.: What woman, besides your mom or grandmother, do you find inspirational?
Wendy Williams, Tiny Fey, Kathy Griffin, and Oprah obvi. I wanted to add someone attractive to this list but couldn’t think of any one admirable AND attractive, which is interesting in itself.
M.I.S.S.: How did you get your start?
I started “blogging” back in the Myspace days. I used to write a blog called “SarahMorrison’s Best Week Ever.” I would write down all the funny hilarious things that happened in my week, quotes that my friends said, and such. At the end of the week I compiled them in short bullet point format and posted 10 to 20 of them for people to enjoy. I was born funny. But I was unaware that I was funny in print, until I attempted it. People liked it. I wrote about working retail, then throwing parties, then the girls at Missbehave. It evolved as my life evolved. I got known well enough blogging to pursue a legitimate writing career, which I had never planned on. But I did. And I love my life.
I stopped doing Best Week Ever when the website I wrote it for was short on cash due to this whole “economy” thing. I now basically do it all day long on Twitter. So that worked out well.
M.I.S.S. What’s your favorite piece of work that you’ve created?
My Twitter account. I feel like Twitter is my calling. Wish that was a career path. OH WELL.
Sarah & a glance into her office.
M.I.S.S. Who do you want to work with, dress, make music with, etc?
I would drop everything to be Wendy William’s intern (in theory). I’d like to meet Kathy Griffin. i really want to try doing stand-up but I am scarid Plus, I am kinda cute and I heard you are sposed to be unattractive to be a female comedian. I would die if Tina Fey called me and was LIKE “you are almost as funny as me, let’s make Youtube videos together or pitch fake TV show ideas” or something. On a more attainable level, I can’t think of anyone
M.I.S.S. What part of your work process is the most challenging and do you dislike the most?
The haters. I really try to not let it get to me. But, it’s really hard. I am a smart girl. And generally the people who hate me, aren’t. They think I’m serious. They don’t understand sarcasm and humor. And so they assume I am serious/stupid and opt to suggest things like me killing myself, which is always good for the self-esteem. But, coming with a disclaimer “I am kidding” sort of ruins the whole thing.
M.I.S.S. Any advice for ladies who are just starting out in a career path similar to yours?
Be yourself. Be original. Do something no one else is doing. Don’t fake it. Be OK with being smart. Don’t be scared. Write till your lil heart bleeds. And keep writing. And don’t worry about blog comments and traffic. Be the best you you can be. People are drawn to honesty and authenticity.
M.I.S.S. thanks you, Sarah!

We received a lot of fantastic mixtapes at the beginning of summer asking us to be reminiscent of classic summertime hits and chillin’ with our friends. Here we are going to take it back through the summer festival style reel and reveal our own ”greatest hits” collection, because what’s music without the fashion? Whether they were keeping it cool underneath hats, stompin in the rain with wellies or combat boots, or mixing vintage with Chanel, the kids came out to play in their summertime clothes. Photos come courtesy of Style.com’s coverage of Coachella, All Points West, Lollapalooza and Glastonbury. You’ve seen our Mirror, Mirror posts, getting ready for shows is just half the fun! What were some of your favorite fashion moments of summer? If anyone saw Karen O killin’ it on stage this year, that kimono top with the scarf over her head was mine, no doubt.
Posso 12" Limited Edition Collection - only 12 of each style made!
We’re smack-dab in the middle of a recession, so who wants to go around buying new outfits all the time? OK, we’d love to be able to spend all our funds scooping up the latest designer gear, but we just don’t have that luxury. Plus we love to bring out our inner Rachel Zoe and play stylist by getting creative with our already-acquired duds. Accessories play an even more important role nowadays because they have the ability to breathe new life into clothes that have resided in our closets for some time. So let M.I.S.S. introduce you (or re-introduce you, for those of you already familiar) to Los Angeles-based brand Posso, who’s recently released a limited edition croc-textured series of shoe accessories, cuffs, and belts that are sure to glam up any outfit.
The Subject, the 12" Collection's footwear accessory
Welcome to Posso’s 12″ Collection, one so exclusive that only 12 – that’s right, twelve! – of each style were made. Let’s begin with one of the most important features of any outfit – your footwear! To dress these up a bit, don The Subject, a limited edition spat that comes in turquoise crocodile and creme anaconda and retailing at $130. Best of all, it’s reversible, so you get a 2-for-1 deal with these babies. (It’s kind of like getting two new pairs of shoes at once.) If you’ve grown tired of plain old bangles and cuffs, opt for The Offering, the 12″ Limited Edition Cuff from the collection. The unisex accessory will run you $60 and is available in turquoise crocodile and creme matte. It also includes a hidden pocket for any pocket-sized necessities (think your I.D. or ATM card) – perfect for a night out – we’d almost categorize it as a clutch. Lastly, the belt from the 12″ Collection, dubbed The Pause, comes in turqoise crocodile and creme anaconda and costs $90. Ideal for both men and women, it sits comfortably at your waist or hip. Each piece is made of Italian embossed leather (so yes, it’s the real thing, for those of you wondering) and created in downtown LA. All are available on Posso’s online shop, where you can scoop up some of the brand’s other footwear accessories and garter belts.
The Pause from Posso's 12" Collection
We understand that wearing a funky new accessory can jazz up any outfit and thus make you feel excited, maybe even make you want to get up and dance. Posso understands too, and they’re offering a playlist of a few tunes you can download and boogie to. Hell, even if you’re not lucky enough to scoop up one of these exclusive pieces that doesn’t mean you don’t have the right to jam to these remixes, which features songs from Phoenix and Dynasty. The playlist comes courtesy of Posso’s blog, Diamond Dusted and Rhinestoned, which you should most certainly check out while you’re over there.
Posso 12" Limited Edition - Don't sleep on these pieces!
For those of you up-to-date in blogosphere happenings, you’ll recall that Posso was featured on Style.com for their collaboration with Shawn Kaleka of Costume Department. The project was spawned after Posso masterminds Marylouise Pels and Vanessa Giovacchini began discussing outfits for Coachella, where Kaleka suggested the possibility of creating an outfit for the famous festival, and as they say, the rest is history. From this conversation came the “Space Safari” collection, which will consist of swimwear and cover-ups, and like the 12″ Collection, spats, cuffs, and belts. You’ll be able to scoop up pieces from the “Space Safari” collection on 80s Purple and from Posso’s Web site.
Just when we thought the love affair between fashion and super heroes was winding down, Colette uploads this piece of action-packed jewelry to their ever so popular online boutique.
Designed by Japan’s version of Jacob the Jeweler, Antonio Murphy & Astro, the Pow! necklace comes in black, white, and various bold neon colors with silver or gold chains.
Unlike your typical Batman tees and Wonder Woman catsuits, this is going to cost more than twenty bucks – $180 more to be exact. But when you’re rocking something as frighteningly amazing as this necklace , how can you take a pass.
After month’s of rumors and false alarms, the official line-up for Coachella 2008 has finally been released!Tickets go on sale this Friday January 25th @ 10am. Find out about all things Coachella here.
Plus, I am kinda cute and I heard you are sposed to be unattractive to be a female comedian. I would die if Tina Fey called me and was LIKE “you are almost as funny as me, let’s make Youtube videos together or pitch fake TV show ideas” or something. On a more attainable level, I can’t think of anyone
