Coachella '12/I Pretend I'm in the Desert

In the realm of logical existence, sweaty masses rubbing their bodies together in 110+ degree heat should culminate on the style achievement chart, a score roughly equivalent to what I wore my first day of seventh grade, but miraculously every year the crowd at Coachella manages to dodge this.  It’s a literal fashionable petri dish in the desert every April; all those little drunken amoebas moving around in stylish groups. Set aside the fact that the festival may have bastardized the legacy of one of the only rappers anyone of minor intelligence has respect for... Coachella’s gotten reeeeal popular in the last couple of years so all the big music/movie/fashion/whyaretheyfamousicantremember names are there gettin their scene on.  This always results in inneresting game of who-looks-the-coolest, here are my (personal) winners:

Kate Bosworth- rockin all Isabel Marant all da time

Whitney Port- showing that I don't always hate print mashing

Nicole Richie- the original boho child 

Isabel Lucas - I can't decide if I posted the first picture because I like her outfit or her boyfriend. Option 2 most likely. but OUTFIT 2. prairie girl. yes please.

Rosie Huntington-Whitely - showing the world that we might as well just bury our heads in the sand, while wearing extra awesome Jbrand x Christopher Kane daisy shorts and Givency ankle boots. meow. 

ANNNND now, last, and most definitely least we have a crackhead Vanessa Hudgens trying really, really, really, really, really, really hard to look like she's still relevant and/or cool.  And failing miserably. I personally prefer the drug-dippin picture of her from last year.

While all these loons were prancing around under the desert sun, I was busy in Northern California losing (part) of my mind at STS9's two-day oakland show.  Four sets, two nights, SO MUCH DANCING. I was awesome and HOT out too, so needless to say I made like a desert-goer all short shorts and crocheted dresses and what not.  Here's what I wore:

 (from top left) shoes/Cole Haan x Nike Air, belt/Joe's Jeans, shorts/vintage Levi's (my roomates), tank top/Rebecca Beeson, dorky green sticker/my own, shoes/Sam Edelman, dress/Free People, Bracelets (wrist down)/Costa Rican friendship bracelet, custom made leather and onyx, Stella&Dot, House of Harlow 1960
