5 MUST-HAVES : COACHELLA STYLE

Whether you plan on going or not, the reality is that Coachella is approaching fast.

Festival season is not only an exciting time in terms of rocking out to music and frolicking around the grounds with your besties, but also a great excuse to channel your inner hippie. While the most sought after accessory is the ever so glamourous, all-access VIP wristband, I've hand selected 5 other Must-Haves for Festival Season. And if you won't be attending a show coming up, it's still okay to be inspired by the 'boho babe' look and start gearing up your Spring wardrobe.

A bit of fringe is definitely necessary and Lira's Dakota dress gives you just that in a fun and subtle way. Don't forget, it's super important to layer - those desert nights get a bit chilly and who doesn't like wearing a stylish 'blanket' in public? Definitely get your hands on a festival inspired poncho by 16th Colony and stand out from the crowd. Another must-have is a bit of jewelry that tells a story - Los Angeles accessories designer Monica Squitieri creates beautiful pieces that are inspired by tide pools, desert spires and valleys of gold. And as for the shoes, I chose something that's a cross between a bootie and a sandal from Lulus.com. Top off the whole look with a unique flower crown handcrafted by designer Sabreen Wilkes of Gardenhead - this will definitely bring out the free spirit in you.
