Blue Tie Dye Dress for Coachella Parties

When I attended Coachella day parties last Saturday during Weekend 1, I was excited to get to rock this PJ Salvage Tie-Dye Dress as it is quite fitting for the Coachella style. I received it as apart of my #Blogchella Survival Kit and the dress was very breezy, comfy, and I didn't own anything like it before. I styled the dress with camel colored sandals, mint sunnies, and a statement zinc necklace. The photos were taken at one of my fave hotels, The Saguaro in Palm Springs; I just swoon over all the colorful places in and around the hotel. Also, have you noticed that my hair is a different color? I recently had it dyed blue by Casie of Conway Grooming and I can't wait to share that experience with you; we also have some amazing hair tutorials coming your way! See details on this look below:

Burgundy Gown in the Desert

This is one of my favorite gowns to wear because of the rich color and flowing train, and I usually don't have an occasion to wear it to so it was fun to get to style it for this shoot with Shawna of Bleudog Fotography. Keeping with the Coachella theme, I styled this gown with a zinc gypsy-like belt and camel-colored boots. Shawna also had the idea to shoot gowns down by the beach, so we will most likely do that next! Read details on the look below and if you're heading to Coachella this weekend, have fun!

Lace Duster & Bralette for Coachella

It's almost the weekend! Here's the third look of my 2015 Coachella Style Series, featuring a blush pink lace bralette and cream floral lace duster. I paired both with high-waisted denim shorts and camel colored riding-style boots with a peek of dainty knee high socks. This outfit has a romantic, country feel to it; but still fitting for Coachella with a bit more skin showing an a gypsy/boho-like belt. As always, this series was shot by photographer Shawna of Bleudog Fotography. Stay tuned for a DIY vibrant floral crown and how it looks with this outfit!

Coachella Wide Fedora and Poncho Style

Hope you're having a great Wednesday so far! Here's the second look of my Coachella Style Series for 2015 shot by Shawna of Bleudog Fotography. I used the lace kimono and bralette from the last look layered underneath a yummy striped poncho. This look is my take on desert nomad meets bohemian babe; hence all of the various layers and the oversized fedora hat, with the entire look tied together with the AMAZING zinc belt. The poncho can easily be worn over any look belted or unbelted; and this is definitely a cozier, warmer look, perhaps to be worn later in the evening when it gets chilly on the festival grounds. I also have a huge surprise, hop on over to my instagram feed to see what it is!

Countdown to Coachella Style Series

I've done numerous shoots with wedding and lifestyle photographer Shawna of Bleudog Fotography, usually for a Swell Beauty tutorial, and we were so excited to get together this past weekend to photograph a Coachella-inspired shoot. Shawna set up the darn cutest Peruvian pillow nook which I would like to nap in every day if I could, and it would make for a fine camp out lounge spot if I was actually attending the Coachella music festival and camping on the festival grounds. I will be attending day parties on April 11 of weekend 1 and can't wait to share those adventures with you!

In the meantime, check out look 1 of my Coachella Style Series for 2015! I especially love this hat because of the wide brim which is great for shading my face from the hot desert sun; a big hat calls for big sunglasses which is exactly what these round shades were, and I especially love the two-tone gradient lenses which give this look an ultra-hippie vibe.

I styled a lace crochet top with high-waisted cloud washed shorts and completed the look with a lace kimono and booties. Can't forget to accessorize; Raptor Jewelry is more than fitting for any Coachella of boho/gypsy look; I love how this zinc necklace has such beautiful detail that really embellishes this outfit.
