Lookbook: Killin' Coachella

Just because Coachella has ended doesn't mean you have to dress back to normal. Dolls Kill has a great new lookbook inspired by Coachella and actually shot at Coachella. Summer is coming soon, and it's always appropriate to dress festival style. Even if you're not going to one. Shop and look at the rest of the lookbook HERE.

Coachella Street Style

Sorry for the short hiatus. First Coachella set me back, then I unfortunately caught the Coachella crud which set me back even further. Anyways, what better way to reminisce over Coachella than a street style post. Every year, Coachella go-ers are the ones with the spotlights on them. Designers from all over the world confess to looking at Coachella trends to decide what they will show the next season. Above are some of the photos that I had to take a second look at. 

Coachella Outfit No. 3

With Coachella over for some, it's just around the corner for others, including me. The last outfit I will wear at Coachella was last minute because I bought it so last minute. I originally had another dress for day three, but returned  that as the UNIF shredder dress became available. Last Fall, I took advantage of Topshop's swimsuit sale and bought these high waist bottoms for $20, and a black string top for $16. If it gets too hot, I can just take off the dress and run around in my swimsuit like most Coachella girls. I wanted to wear a lot of 90s accessories, so the hologram glasses and tattoo chokers seemed perfect. A dark lip, comfy chelsea boots and this Topshop backpack will complete my last look for what's supposed to be the hottest day this weekend.

Lookbook: Valley Girl

Nasty Gal has a new lookbook to get you ready for festival season. As does pretty much ever other retailer and magazine. Anyways, I like this lookbook because of some of the trends it features, like aliens and caged bras. I'm actually planning to wear the UNIF dress in the first photo to Coachella as well. Hopefully not many other people are planning the same. View the rest of  the lookbook and shop the story HERE.

Coachella Outfit no. 2

For day two of Coachella, I opted for something a bit darker and more rock 'n roll. The glitter tights are definitely a head turner, I've gotten a bit shy wearing them out to regular places just because EVERYONE stares! UNIF shirts are super soft and really baggy and airy, so they are perfect for keeping you cool. My black Dr. Martens I've had since I was 13, so they are perfectly soft and worn in and by far one of the most comfortable pairs of shoes I own. I'm a big fan of backpacks, and I have a few black leather ones that I plan to use. And of course, a refillable water bottle. Every year, the H&M tent gives free water, and we always make the long line. Water is ridiculously valuable at Coachella.

Coachella 2013 Outfit no. 1

I honestly don't know how people decide what they will wear to Coachella. Or when they decide it. All I know is I plan my outfits before they even announce the line-up. To me, it's pretty much the second most important thing about Coachella besides the music. The first outfit I'm definitely gonna sport is a black cage bra with a sheer black skirt. I won't, however, have a lining, but instead be wearing some high-waisted swim bottoms I bought last year. Also, to off set all the black, my hologram purse, which is the same one pictured, with some hologram boots.  These sandals were the closest when it came to color. Hopefully when I'm done with the boots, I'll post them as well. As for jewelry, just some earcuffs, and I'm set.

Now that the Coachella line-up has been announced, it's pretty much all I'm thinking about. I feel like my mind before was really void of thought before, now that I'm constantly thinking about so many things that revolve around Coachella. Will I get ahold of a ticket? What am I going to wear? Should I start saving now? What bands am I gonna see? Will I get a ticket??!!!  Getting a ticket isn't as easy as it used to be, but it will be a challenge I will prepare for and fight to the death for! Alright, past the worrying of going on Ticketmaster this Tuesday, I've been seeing so many Coachella inspired pics on tumblr. For a long time it was very winter-y. Fur coats, head-to-toe black, leather as far as the eye could see, but now, a lovely reminder that Spring is around the corner. Above are some of my favorite Coachella inspired photos that have suddenly popped up and have me already thinking about the jewelry, clothes, shoes and bags I'll be using in the middle of April....if I get a ticket.

Coachella Style Weekend 2 Pt. 1

Some awesome street style from Weekend Two of Coachella. I love a lot of the Western details in these shots. Everyone at Coachella tries to have this boho, hippie look, and sometimes it comes out quite well. Fringe, brown belts and wide brimmed hats make for a simple, easily pulled off look. Besides, who wants to look like that lame "I'm a cool hippie" teenager look?
