Coachella - Planet Blue

COACHELLA...

..............................................

... WOW. And STILL there are Coachella lookbooks
flooding every fashion corner of the net! ;)

I love festivals, and being from Cape Town, South Africa we have some of the best!

I particularly love this lookbook, as Planet Blue really has captured the kind of
rawness and grittyness that one experiences at a festival. There's a good mix of
grunge, boho, hippie and surfer in this lookbook. LOVE love love this...

Great summer inspiration

ENJOY

A Trend To DYE For

To Dye For...

.............................................

... There has been an ever increasing come-back
of self dyed clothing 

(and hair - which started

with the pastel hair trend ) 

for Summer 2012! Oh How Fun!

Is it the want to have something original.. different from what anyone else
would own? Tie-dying is a very crafty and personal project that will give your clothes
a once-in-a-lifetime effect so there's a huge plus if you know
how to do this yourself at home. Of course, if that is a bit too much of a challenge,
brands like Urban Outfitters have made the trend of Tye-Dye VERY accessible!!

There are a variety of colours AND styles to suit your look at Urban Outfitters.
Whether its bright and bold of grungy and subdued... 

Tie-dye will def be a popular trend this Summer
so it's time to start looking out for beautifully dyed garments... (Not to forget Dip-dying too!)

Take a look at the Urban Outfitters TyeDye lookbook,

as well as a few of the items you can get on their site!!

LOVING this trend!!

ENJOY

The Crochet Top - By Urban Outfitters

Crochet...

..........................................................

... is here to stay, at least for another season that is.

We can thank, mainly, Coachella for re-igniting the hippie
festival princess in us all and leading the way for
the 2012 festival-chic trends.

One of the basics every festival-goer should posess on their person is a  

crochet tee or vest.
Urban outfitters has a few gorgeous options for you to choose from in pretty colours
and sexy styles.

I LOVE each and every one of these, but the main thing that surprised me was the
"Pins and Needles Cold Shoulder Crochet Top". 

The reason for this is that, on any other
garment i really REALLY don't like this open shoulder thing. I think it makes most
girls look pretty butch and manly. There is nothing sexy about these tees AT all...
until I saw this one.

It seems the "holy" effect of the crochet doesn't draw too much attention to the
"cold shoulder" detail, and I think, just for this style, it works really beautifully.

Check out the pics below or
go to the Urban Outfitters website to see what other
festival-inspired garb you can pic up ;)

Enjoy!
