Day Three (also known as the saddest day of Coachella because you have to slowly snap back to reality). On the last day of Coachella, I was running short on time, so I spent what few hours I had left relaxing poolside at the Lacoste L!ve Desert Pool Party (more on this in my next post!). I stuffed myself silly with popsicles, chili fries, street tacos, and ice cream sandwiches, enjoyed a fresh DJ set by Elijah Wood, got my nails done thanks to a fun mani/pedi bar, and sprawled out soaking up the sun.

I made sure to bring my A game to the pool with my Addison NY floral tee and a freshly made DIY flower crown (yes, real flowers!) by Cult Gaia. There's nothing I want more right now than to be back in that desert sun. Talk about withdrawals...

Coachella 2013 | Day Two

Open Knit Top c/o Addison NY; Shorts: Brandy Melville; Bag: H&M; Espadrilles c/o Soludos; DIY Floral Crown (thanks, Kathleen!)

Just when I thought Coachella couldn't possibly get any better, day two came and proved me wrong. It was a glorious day filled with warmth, laughter, and sweet, sweet music. On day two, I saw 2 Chainz, Major Lazer, Grizzly Bear, Benny Benassi (with special guest John Legend), The XX, Phoenix, Janelle Monae, and my favorite act of Saturday's lineup, Moby's DJ Set. PURE GOLD. Nothing can explain the feeling of dancing to good vibes in the Sahara tent, under the desert night sky, with your best friends. Nope - nothing! 

On day two, I wore the cutest open knit sweater (thanks to Addison NY!), printed shorts, comfy espadrilles (thanks to Soludos!), and finished off my look with the quintessential Coachella statement piece - the flower crown. You know you've made it at Coachella, when you're stopped for street style pics (hahaha!). Now...if I could just find out where those pictures ended up! 

Stay tuned, y'all! Day three coming at ya shortly!

Coachella 2013 | Day One

Weekend One has come and gone (and now, so has weekend two), but the withdrawals are here to stay. I was fortunate enough to make it to Coachella this year (with some super sweet threads, mind you) thanks to Addison NY! I packed my bags, booked my flight, and said "so long!" to San Fran and "hello!" to the warm desert heat. My plans were slightly halted because, well, of all the things in the world, I caught pneumonia the week of my trip. Now, I know that "health is wealth," says my mama bear all the time, but there's also that one saying? YOLO? So off I went! It proved to be one of the best experiences of my life. Sunshine, dancing, music, and the company of some really, really amazing people? WIN. The first day, I saw Of Monsters and Men, Local Natives, Beach House, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Band of Horses, and my favorite act that day...Wolfgang Gartner. So good.
