Spring Fling
Spring is probably my favorite time of year because it’s the sunny season with pops of rain, it’s so refreshing to be able to wear shorts with a cardigan and not feel ‘stupid’…so if you’re gonna do it, Spring would be the perfect time!
I’ve compiled what I believe are the Spring Top Essentials for this year, check them out.

Coachella Dressing Tips 2013
It’s a bittersweet year in the life of this blogger, being as I’m not attending this years Coachella…but I know so many of you are! (lucky boys and girls) Although I won’t be there physically, be rest assure I will be there in spirit!
And because you’re being part of this 3 day music movement filled with creative people, don’t be intimidated to show your creativity as well! If you’re asking how? Your best outlet is ‘what you’re wearing,’ and I know that can sound a little superficial but music festivals like these are the best to get dressed up for and show your cutest sunny pieces on display! Don’t be shy, because 2 out of 3 people that will be there have actually put quite sometime into thinking about what they will be wearing for this event.
Now, although I’m totally saying you should look cute, don’t give up comfort for looking hawt for those California boys…you might think it’ll be worth it but it never is. You’re at the 2013 version of Woodstock, people used to go nude for comfort…so keep in mind that when it comes down to the roots and greedy of what you’re going to wear, your number one priority to each outfit is comfort.
Coachella Dressing 2013 Tips:
1. Opt for Cotton: It’s one of the coolest materials to be in and can also be pretty warm for those chilly nights. Not to mention it’s so comfy, so pack up a few cropped cotton tee’s in your bag.
2. Heels is a NO NO: I guess this is more of to each their own, cause I’ve seen girls in high wedges before and their excuse is so “they can see the band better,” which I guess is understandable but you wouldn’t catch me wearing heels…not only are you in acres of natural land which can present…lumpy rocks, grass, even mud at times. It makes it unfortunate to ruin a pair of nice shoes, instead go for a breezy sandal that can vent your little feet from all that walking. Maybe even pack some converse for some extra comfort on those long days!
3. Pleather for another occasion: I’m guilty of owning pleather too girls and boys, but Coachella, I personally think is not the place to wear it. You’re going to be under some extreme sunny weathers and the last thing you want is to be gloomy because of all that sweat and not to mention B.O. you’ll probably vent to thy neighbor. No one wants to be the stinky person in a crowd. Think of more ‘airy’ materials. Think more of things you’d wear to a playground if you were a kid?
4. Shorts, two thumbs up!: This is a must for Coachella, so pack up all your cute high waisted, boyfriend, ombre, studded shorts girls and boys. You’ll need them and want them too. This is a festival that requires a lot of walking and being under the sun and the best way to go about those terms is to dress for comfort with style. Shorts are something you can throw on if your in the campgrounds easily and head to the festival! Plus, their an item everyone has…so no need to go out and spend. Save your bucks for the fest!
5. Pack a light/medium sweater/cardigan, weather can be loco: I said it, weather in Indio can be loco in the coco sometimes and unexpected weather can happen! Maybe a little drizzle or maybe the temperature drops at night. A cardigan/sweater is must to have for those times. I personally always have said, “if my little back and arms are warm, my little chicken legs can take it,” and I stand by this. You’ll notice a difference in body warmth with a little layer as basic as a cardigan, so pack it!
Other quick things you should pack: sunblock, umbrella, bring a backpack, camera, hand sanitizer, juice pack (for iphone) if you don’t have one…I would invest in one QUICK, crytstal light on-the-go packs…and I think that’s it. If I think of anything else I’ll be sure to put it up!
Okay my little babies, well enjoy and be safe. Keep yourself hydrated and just have fun, it’s what you’re there for! May the force of 2013 Coachella be with you.
