Coachella 2012 Street Style

Edited by Samantha Lim

Ahh Coachella. The weekend music festival where hipsters flock to rock out like celebrities and celebrities come to dress like hipsters and lounge around.  The daytime scene is a series of posh pool parties (think bashes by Belvedere and Lacoste)and the nights are filled with mansion hopping & pop up parties (think Armani Exchange’s Neon Carnival).  Our favorite part, as usual, is the fashion. This year we’re seeing tons of beat up boots, printed dresses, fringed bags, torn up jeans, and pops of neon.  Take a look at our favorite party goers after the jump. 

10 Desert Dancing Essentials for Coachella

Edited by Jessica Lapidos

I’m en route to mount my first Virgin American, LAX-bound plane, to spend a week in sublime anticipation for the second, final EPIC weekend of Coachella. With my dancin’ Docs, sarongs and chiffon aplenty in my bag, I gaze out the window of my roommate’s car on the way to JFK, ruminating on the wardrobe I packed, and some pieces I may have to snag in LA this week. I’m one of many thousands of people headed to Indio, California today, armed to the gills with their most dazzling desert dancing gear. May you aquire glowsticks and foofaraw that toes your look over the edge into true festival territory.

Under a Cool $25: Lori’s Festival-Worthy Wide Beaded Bangle

Edited by Jessica Lapidos

On this fine Monday morning, I’m seeing sunshine, blue skies, and the effects of The Black Keys and Gotye on shuffle, and I’m thinking one thing: Music festivals. I already know I’m taking my Docs to Coachella next month, my glowsticks to the Governor’s Ball, and a hula hoop or two to All Good, but now I found a beaded bangle that will gleam brightly in the sun as I dance the day away. (And it won’t kill my vibes if it gets lost/destroyed/traded for something special… It’s $15 well spent.)

First Coachella Dream with Dr Martens and his Prescriptions

Edited by Jessica Lapidos

In a fantastical dream last night, I was skipping through hot fields packed with wildly garbed people and hula hoops. Ahead of me, The Black Keys were electrifying “Everlasting Light” on a massive stage, and behind me there was a great deal of foofaraw; including a giant glowing structure built of egg cartons and, oddly enough, each of my  head scarves. I was floating, lighter than air, and every time I looked down at my feet, I was wearing a different pair of Dr. Martens. Metallic high tops! Purple polka dot creepers! Impressionist floral combat boots! And each time the Docs made a switch, The Sartorialist, Scott Schumann, snapped a picture of me. Meanwhile Garance Doré was across the field with 3 trailer trucks and a bevy of models, lighting, and incidentally, glow sticks, whilst she directed a photo shoot. When I turned back, The Black Keys had stopped, and the president of Dr. Martens takes the mic to welcome us all to Coachella 2012.

There can only be one explanation for such a dream….
