Designer Sneakers: Giuseppe Zanotti

ZanottiSneakers

With the wedge sneaker trend in full force, and a sea of Isabel Marant and Ash knock-offs arising, Giuseppe Zanotti has created a cool chic design of his own.  The seams, contrasts, and details make these designer sneakers a must have.  If wedge sneakers aren’t your thing, they have regular flat sneaker versions, too.  You can find them in a variety of amazing colors, with crystal rhinestones, studs, fringes, and zippers.  There’s a style to fit any taste.  It’s clean, chic, and will look amazing with your cut-off shorts, or even cute summer dresses.  Time to splurge.

Musician Inspired Outfit: Damon Albarn Appreciation

Heard Blur was amazing at Coachella.  I wouldn’t really expect anything less than that.  And remember when Gorillaz played the festival a few years ago?  Here’s a Damon Albarn appreciation outfit.  We love your music.

Buy now: The Bold Cuff Bracelet

If you are over the stacked multiple bracelet trend, or just want something fresher, go for the bold cuff bracelet.  Not only is it trending right now, but it’s also actually a very classic piece of jewelry to add to your collection.  It goes with almost any outfit and adds instant cool to your look.  It’s great for flowy cocktail dresses.  And I’d personally wear them this Spring and Summer with just jeans and a t-shirt.  You can’t really wear them in the winter because you are usually wearing long sleeves, it will get in the way, unless you are wearing a light weight long sleeve, you can wear it on top.  But, if you’re wearing short sleeves or sleeveless styles, the bold cuff will be perfect to rock in style, and show off your pretty arms.

Music Festival Fashion Queen: Alessandra Ambrosio

White-boho-chic.  Pair little crochet shorts with a flowy top and some fringe.  Mix whites and ivorys with brown boots and belts.

The cut of the high-waisted shorts don’t look too dated.  And the faded neon coral pink shade keeps it young and modern.  Pair with a light knit crop top.  Add tons of colorful bracelets.  The scarf is perfection.  The mirrored Ray-Ban aviators are on trend.

A smocked waist print chiffon skirt is flirty and comfortable.  Pair with classics like denim and a cargo jacket.

Move over Kate Bosworth, looks like we have a new music festival fashion queen.  Supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio always had really cute outfits during the past Coachella festivals she’s attended, and her off-duty look is always on trend and chic.  This year at Coachella, all three outfits were majorly amazing and perfect.  She looks trendy, but not overly, totally boho, but not sloppy, and so comfortable while looking like the quintessential hot festival attendee.  All three looks are perfect for warmer days coming up.  Try it on just for a fun weekend look, or a spring lunch date.

Instant Outfit – Coachella

Frazzled about what to pack and what to wear still?  Here’s a super-easy outfit that’s comfortable but also instant cool.  Just throw on a tie-dye tee and some cut-off denim shorts.  Where do you get these?  Just stop by a vintage store, or Urban Outfitters for the tees.  American Eagle also has a bunch of cute “festival shorties” in many colors, washes, styles, lengths.  Or just make a quick trip to an LF Store near you and pick up cute overalls and tie dye styles, check out their cute lookbook for ideas.  Easy, right?  Have fun at Coachella, everyone!

Coachella Outfit: The Classic Minimalist

If the quintessential Coachella boho-chic is not really your style, don’t feel pressured to wear it.  Anyways, you have to plan at least three outfits for Coachella weekend.  Look effortlessly cool and clean in this combo of amazing denim cut off shorts, Superga sneakers, and a polka dot shirt.

Tip 2: Be prepared for the bag check line.  They seriously check everything.  You will be asked to empty out your bag, and everything in the bag.  Don’t pack anything you don’t need.  When repacking, pay attention to put everything back in your back and don’t lose anything.  The bag checks do tend to go faster when it’s later in the day and the lines are longer.
