Festival Fashion, Shopping Guide

In case you somehow missed it, Dolls Kill had a sample sale this weekend, and it was insane. If you watched their story, you could see people lining up for blocks down Fairfax, and apparently, some people even camped out to get a shot at being first in line, which is you saw the prices made perfect sense. Dolls Kill, in an attempt to Clea your extra inventory before going into the build-up to this year’s festival season decided to throw a two-day sample sale where you could buy everything from boots to body jewels are crazy low prices. On the second day, there were selling all shoes for only twenty dollars a pair, which is beyond a steal seeing as 'cheap' shoes at Dolls Kill usually means you are getting something for seventy dollars.

I have a weird fixation on pacifiers in rave culture. This interest began when I started to notice a trend of including iconography of and actual pacifiers on jewelry, clothing, and other gear sold at DOLLS KILL, which is you haven’t figured it out already, is my favorite retailer. As a so-called ‘new-school’ raver, this was my first introduction to them having only ever noticed one or two at an actual event. However, once I started looking for them when I went to events I started to notice more and more people with one little string around their neck as more than just a fashion statement.

Festivals can be chaotic. It’s easy to underestimate just how easy it can be to lose track of your friends in the crowd. All it takes is for one person to be distracted when the group gets moving, or for one person to wander off, or maybe just get swept away in the current of the crowd. Depending on your personality, getting separated can either be the most awesome experience, or it can be a panic attack inducing nightmare. Either way, it helps to have a few strategies in mind so that if someone gets lost, you won’t have to spend the entire night trying to find them.
