Carousel Diaries: Coachella Fashion 2013

So, if it’s ok with you guys, we’re gonna pretend we are not hanging out in (still) chilly Dublin, but rather lounging in the desert of Indio, California this weekend. We’re picturing ourselves in the warm, dry sun in our favourite summer dress and worn in true blue leather boots enjoying just one of the BAZILLION bands playing that we love. So, since we can’t be at Coachella we have decided to pick some of our favourite fashion from the festival and made a little playlist of all the music we’d love to be hearing live this weekend.

First off: We worship at the church of Solange Knowles. Does this girl do any wrong? She just looks so happy in her electric pink 60s pattern skirt. We love you Solange. Keep up the good work.

Diane Kruger and Joshua Jackson: Diane’s greatest accessory might be Mr. Jackson on her arm in this photo, but we love her simple approach to festival style. Short shorts and a worn in black tee. Fool proof. (Send Pacey our love…)

Next up you’ve got Kate Bosworth and her lover Michael Polish. Kate is a longtime Coachella fan and each year she looks amazing. This year we like her simple pulled back bun and sort of Mongolian themed vest?

And finally we’ve got one of our style icons: Kirsten Dunst. Some could argue that Ms. Dunst isn’t trying hard enough, but that’s why we love her. She tends to do it right, simply.

 

She’s Still The Queen: Alexa Chung is our most favourite so far in her belly baring crochet crop top and perfect denim cut offs. Clapping. Lots of clapping.

Coachella Katy: Not our most loved look from the pop princess, but she looks happy so who are we to judge?

Rita Ora: Love how much fun Rita Ora is having in this colourful number with her tongue and cheek top!

Finally, it seems Flower Power is all the rage again. Think we can get away with a head full of daisies this summer?

We’ll be watching Coachella as they stream it online here:
