Dancer/Choreographer Beau “Casper” Smart and Mike Posner indulged in some pampering at Nail Garden in Studio City, CA. I’m not 100% what day that they were there, possibly today, Sunday, April 21.

Model turned DJ Agyness Deyn worked the turntables at The Saguaro Desert Weekender Coachella event as her husband, Giovanni Ribisi danced and supported Deyn on a private balcony with friends.

Designer to the stars, Alexander Wang attended The Saguaro Desert Weekender event on Saturday to view the selection of Revolve Clothing and Swatch designs. Wang was very humble throughout the day and even skipped the VIP section and paid for his own drinks! Wang kept it casual in a long, black Tee and black shorts. He was very comfortable chatting with guests and taking photos..

Meanwhile, musician Mike Posner tried his skills at the turntables on Saturday, April 13th during The Saguaro Desert Weekender while he later relaxed and sipped on a Just Chill Beverage.

The event was hosted by Revolve Clothing, Swatch, Just Chill Beverages, and Corzo tequila and guests experienced daytime pool parties featuring DJ sets from world-renowned artists such as Sky Ferreira, Peanut Butter Wolf, Classixx, IAMSOUND and more.

The overall cool vibe of the party proved to be a haven for actors, musicians, and a band of bloggers alike, including Jennifer Grace of The Native Fox, That’s Chic’s Rachel Nguyen, We Wore What’s Danielle Bernstein, and Natalie Suarez of Natalie Off Duty.

Custom-made swag bags by Clover Canyon included valuables from One Teaspoon, Nightcap Clothing, Incase, Rebecca Minkoff, Deborah Lippmann, Jen’s Pirate Booty, L*Space, Beach Riot, Brian Lichtenberg, Lauren Moshi, and Lovers + Friends, and were gifted to VIPs and guests.

Songwriter/producer Antonina Armato (“Love You Like a Love Song”) offered, “There was nothing logical about the way I got here. Songs would come into my head and I started cutting demos. I couldn’t stop doing it…it was like breathing.” Her path to success wasn’t linear, but rather a series of “breadcrumbs,” she described.

Composer Michael Brook (Into the Wild, The Fighter) said that “When good things happen, often you don’t feel like you caused it. Luck is a big factor, but perseverance buys you a lottery ticket so luck can hit.”

Prolific artist Mike Posner shared “I don’t really feel like I write any of my songs…they just kind of come through.” He continued, “You have to show up to the studio every day…90 percent of the days I make really bad music..but you have to keep showing up.” Posner encouraged the audience to take every opportunity you possibly can. He explained how a semi-spontaneous road trip to meet Scooter Braun eventually led to his hit song with Justin Bieber five years later.

Reflecting on his success, Posner said he has learned how to balance criticism: “It’s not my work to worry about my reputation. I can’t control that. What I can control is my work…how much love I put into it. And am I using my music to gain more money, more fame…or to do good?” Posner even quoted Oprah: “You can’t move forward unless you give back!”

Antonina encouraged the audience to jump on the new opportunities in the industry to get our music heard. “There are way fewer gate keepers now, it’s sort of a level playing field. You have no real limitation other than your ability to go do the work, and to feel inspired every day.”

Late last night, Mike Posner shared a photo of himself with a bottle of NyQuil in his hand and mentioned that he was sick. He then told his Twitter/Instagram followers that he’ll chat with them through iChat or Skype. Lucky people!  Then a little while ago he shared another photo while getting a haircut. He seems like he’s feeling much better now.

“I’m sick. About to take this NyQuil…who wants to Skype/iChat. Send screen name. I’ll answer any question.” – Mike Posner

“Trying to impress somebody tonight :))))))” – Mike Posner

Side note: LOL at this post’s title, by the way. I find it to be so funny mentioning NyQuil for some reason, ha ha ha!
