This past week, G-Star launched Los Angeles Raw Nights, the first US based event in the series that is driven by “forbidden combinations.”

Dennis Hopper curated the event, which was held in a parking lot outside the G-Star showroom.

The crowd enjoyed killer mini-burgers and fries, watched Henry Hopper tear apart an art installation, and sipped sweet champagne.

Below are our favorite photos, plus an interview with the G-Star peeps.

Bonus:

Can you spot Lindsay Lohan?

As my days in NYC are now numbered, I’m trying my best to soak it all in, and wonder how much I’ll miss it here. I came to New York in the bitter cold, from 80 degree weather in Florida, knowing no one, and eagerly anticipating my internship. I hadn’t seen The Devil Wears Prada, but I knew I didn’t want my internship to relate to that! Was I really just going to be making coffee runs and walking the dogs? Well now that its just about said and done, I can say its actually been a good time. I’ve learned a lot, and can offer future interns a few bits of advice…

*First of all, if you aren’t from the city, it’s How-ston, not Hugh-ston. You’ll understand when you get here.

*Remember that graciousness and good posture never go out of style.

*If you find yourself shuffling through the crowded streets of SoHo on a rainy, windy day, with an 827lb garment bag draped over arm as you desperately try to position your hand so you can almost hold your umbrella over your head, just laugh at yourself- There are so many chicks out there who would LOVE to be in your position.

*As always: Work hard….. play hard.

Good luck to future interns, you’re going to have a kick ass time here.

Bye bye.

Congrats to me: I am officially a graduate of Florida State University (although theres a small chance I missed some paperwork…. guess we’ll find out soon)!! During my weekend back in the good ‘ol TallaNASTY for graduation, I snagged a few photos of some Nylon-esque kids, proving that despite the lack of cool vintage stores, a 3 story H&M, and designer sample sales, this city can still work it out.

No laces: no problem.

When its 90 degrees out and the humidity is blastin, toss on that perfect lil summer dress. Bow in hair = added bonus.

Beer? Check. Mustache like my grandpa’s? Check. House shoes like my grandpa’s? Check, check.
I admit it: I have a crush on the old-man style… always have

Stripes for summer!

Nothing will ever interfere with the perfect simplicity of a fitted t-shirt, your fav jeans and some worn out slip-ons.

All I have to say about this is: seek out Momo’s Pizza if you’re ever passin through Tally.

This past week I took some time off for graduation and some much-needed beach time with the amigos back in Florida .

With some down time on my hands, I immersed myself in some past-due crafting. So many chicks have been walking around the Nylon office with adorable headbands that they have inspired me to create my own… and I suggest that you follow suit.

Head bands are A) adorable and make you feel like a pretty 7 year old girl; and B) inexpensive to create.

Round up your basic headbands or steal some from your friends, and get to it! I suggest silk flowers, ribbon, old jewelry, left over fabrics, beads, feathers, and any other prop that might spark your interest. Such an instant way to look cooler than all your friends.

Enjoy! — Caitlin

I’m sure everyone is sick of me complaining about how much I miss my sandals and shorts since I’ve moved to the city, but this past week I caught a sample of spring weather all the way up here in New York. Most people were skeptical and headed out in their typical winter garb of boots and jackets, but I found a couple chicks on Spring St. that took their sandals, skirts, and tanks out of hibernation…

The first glimpse of Spring weather street style!

Time to schedule those pedicures and bikini waxes, ladies!

So maybe my internship isn’t completely unpaid… I do score some pretty awesome stuff when the beauty stuff gets cleaned out… Who can complain about that??

SJP Lovely, MAC lip gloss, Dior bronzer, Chanel Bronzer, Lancome lipstick, Very Sexy Mascara…

My advice to future interns (once I leave, of course): keep one eye on the free table…

One day I wore my TOMS shoes to work, and Faran noticed.

She said to me, “Look at you in TOMS!  They have a press event coming up that I don’t think I’m going to be able to go to…” As my eyes lit up like Christmas trees, it was understood that I would gladly go in her place.

For those of you with your head stuck in the ground, TOMS shoes is a shoe company that donates a pair of sweet kicks to a kid in need every time you purchase a pair for yourself. I’m the proud owner of a couple pairs, and insist that they are the most comfortable shoes (especially for interning: you ARE on your feet all day long) and you won’t believe how many compliments you will receive on them.

This morning, I got up an hour earlier than usual and headed out for my *appointment*. In a conference room near Union Square, high enough to catch a great skyline view of the city, a large table was outlined by TOMS’ Fall 2008 line. I did my best to disguise my intern status and took a bunch of pictures for you guys to see! But the best part was getting a chance to talk with Blake Mycoskie- founder/designer/chief-shoe-dropper of TOMS.
