What to wear to Coachella

Coachella is just around the corner, and that means some of you are preparing for a weekend full of music and sunshine, you lucky things! I thought I'd share my favourite Coachella outfits from the last few years, and offer some suggestions based on what's in stores right now. Even if you aren't going this year, I hope you enjoy the style inspiration - I know I do!

Get Ashley Benson's style!

If you’re a fan of Ashley Benson then you’re probably used to seeing her in either a pink bikini in Spring Breakers or “three inch heels or nothing” as Hanna Marin in Pretty Little Liars. But when she’s not on set or on the red carpet then Ashley’s style is pretty laid back. She’s a fan of the beanie as well as slouchy tees and black jeans; some may describe her style as grungy with a trendy edge. I personally love it, so here are some ways in which you can get Ashley’s style!

Where? Coachella 2013

1. Sunglasses - Urban Outfitters; 2. Cape - Capology; 3. Jeans - Krisp; 4. Tank top - Nasty Gal, alternative at Nasty Gal; 5. Stud bracelet - ASOS; 6. Bracelets - sold out @Topshop, similar at Nordstrom; 7. Stonewash Converse - Converse

Here are some other outfits Ashley has worn lately, what do you think? Comment below!

Get Lucy Hale's Style!

If there’s a celebrity's style that I’m seriously crushing on this spring/summer it's Lucy Hale’s. If you haven’t heard of her then here’s a little bit of background – Lucy Hale is a singer and actress who currently plays Aria Montgomery on ABC Family’s show 'Pretty Little Liars'. Like Lucy, Aria has an amazing, unique style, so I suggest you check it out! The show itself is quite fashion focused, among other things, and each main character has their own style. 

But back to Lucy - she’s often seen in boho type outfits, whilst still following the trends. Donning hats and layering bracelets, Lucy seems to enjoy accessorizing. Here are some of my favourite outfits that she’s worn recently to Coachella and where to find similar items!

Where: Just Jared Music Festival Brunch, Coachella, 2013

1. Zig Zag Ikat Backpack - Topshop

2. Horse Bracelet Pack - Topshop

3. Skull Friendship Bracelet Pack - Topshop

4. Mood Friendship Bracelet Pack - Topshop

5. Hix Clean Toe Post Sandals - Topshop

6. Basic Crop Vest - Topshop (Alternative also at Topshop here, here and here)

7. Paisley Maxi Skirt - Warehouse (And an alternative also at Warehouse and Pacsun)

If you'd like to complete the outfit with a Daisy crown, Nasty Gal (link) have a gorgeous one at the moment. 

Where: Fruttare Fruit Bar Stop @ Coachella

1. Cutler & Gross Gothic Heart-Frame Sunglasses - Selfridges (Alternative at Swell)

2. Sekonda watch - ASOS

3. Floral Backpack - Bank (UK) (Alternative at Delia's)

What do you think of Lucy's style?

Coachella Looks

Once Spring rolls around it will be time for what I think is the biggest music festival of the year...yep! you guessed it! Coachella! Every year I desperately sit in my room staring at the photo albums on Facebook of girls at Coachella, and what's the first thing I notice? Their outfits of course! Ever since the 2013 lineup came out a few weeks ago I have been searching everywhere for inspiration since I actually get to go this year! I know I still have a few months to go but hey, I'm excited! And yes, I am aware that it's still Winter but it's never too early to start planning for those cute Spring and Summer looks or a random day of warm weather!

Coachella is definitely the time to try out new styles or wear things you normally wouldn't wear...just think no matter what you're wearing, someone will be dressed 10x crazier! Bright colors, clashing patterns, whatever you're feeling, it's totally the time to try out something new. I've put together 3 looks that I would wear to Coachella or just any spring/summer day.

Shorts - Etsy; Billabong bralette - Dogfunk; Matthew Williamson sunglasses - Shopbop; ASOS belt; Nars nail polish - ASOS; B.F.T. wedges - Barefoot Tess

High waisted shorts and neon were so 2012, I know, but I still think it's soooo cute! If you find a good pair of high-waisted shorts, they can go with almost any shirt and as a bonus they're really easy to dress up and down. Try to find a pair that doesn't ride up, is an appropriate length, and doesn't have too many rips or holes--you want to look cute not trashy. For an occasion where you can be a little bit more risque with your choices, like Coachella, pair it with a bright tank, bra top, or a crocheted halter. Find a perfect matching pair of sunglasses and you're good to go! It's a really effortless look, even if you spent hours trying to find the shirt that looks just right tucked into the shorts.

Skirt - Forever New; Headband - Etsy; Sandals - Colette

The next look is a high-low, fishtail type skirt and a bandeau. A fishtail skirt is a must have! It flows so nicely when you walk and there are so many different designs, patterns, cuts, etc. so it's super easy to find whatever you're looking for whether it's for a formal party, or just a fun get together and the beach. In my personal style I like to be super matchy-matchy so I stuck with pretty much the same color palette here. The bandeau in this look is all by its self but for an outfit that would show less skin there's a simple solution...just put it under a tank top with low-cut sides or a low front. The pop of color will look really cool and it will be so much more comfortable than a regular bra.

Flower crown - ebay; Denim waistcoat - Wetseal; Wedges - Steve Madden @ Macy's

This last look is super girly but you can easily adjust it to fit your own personal style! I chose a pink floral dress and a matching flower crown. In my opinion, a signature Coachella outfit must have. When else are you going to be able to rock a crown of flowers? If you're not into the whole floral sundress thing, an edgier dress will work for the same look. I paired it with a denim vest, since denim isn't a pattern and more of a type of fabric it can't really clash with anything! Even though the denim is light, it still adds some roughness to the pink floral look. If you pair the dress with some wedges your legs will look a lot longer and give the dress a nicer shape and flow on your body. If you change up the colors in the look to fit your style this could be a totally awesome look to play with hard vs soft.


So there you go! If you need to start planning early for some summer or spring looks or are going to Coachella like me, I hope this helped provide some fashion inspiration! If you need some more examples Vanessa Hudgens has some of my favorite Coachella looks ever! Remember, don't be afraid of wearing something that's 'out of style'. If you like it, go for it! Confidence is the most important ingredient to any look!

Are you heading to any festivals this summer? What do you plan to wear?
