The answer is yes... to both questions, actually. And all I can say to explain this July blog entry is that Coachella is like a lover that you gave your heart to, only to have him walk away with it 3 days later. 3 short days of careless love-affair, yet you can't forget about the time you spent together. Coachella is a DRUG! Its my drug. I think about it every day. I get happy because it happened. Then, I get sad because its gone. And then, I get anxious because it will happen again in about 9 months.
I figured, that since I spend so much time thinking about Coachella, I should follow though on a blog entry, 3 months in the making, about Coachella Fashion - a fashion like no other! As you walk though the polo fields on those hot, April desert days, you find yourself in Hipster Land, CA, population everybody. There are no limits, there are no bad or good, there are just people expressing themselves in an extreme, LA hipster way. You can't help but look, love it and appreciate the creativity and expression of self through fashion. To me, Coachella was all about accessories (Hats, feathers, big earrings and of course Ray's), Boho Chic dresses and flowered tops, and comfy shoes, like TOMs and your fave pair of flat Moto boots or natural colored gladiator flats. Here are some of my personal favorites, from the fields and tips on how to Bo-Hipsterize yourself next year:
Bo-HIPSTERIZE yourself by adding the following to your next year's Coachella outfit, which you DO plan way in advance :) :
