The Coachella Diaries

Coachella… A time of year when girls (and guys) really express themselves through fashion.

Coachella… Where you become Creative and Artistic.

Coachella… Where the "IFD" (Inner Fashion Diva) comes out and you are ready to show your outfits off.

Coachella... Where trends are born.

Living here in Los Angeles for the past four years, I've noticed a bit of my inner Hipster emerge. It wasn't until last year, that I attended my very first Coachella festival. Crazy, right? I know… It's almost a condition and requirement for living in LA - 1) Buy tickets a year in advance (if you can get through on their site) or just Craig's list them right before, hoping you don't get scammed, and 2) Attend Coachella (Week 1, lol) every year.

I honestly didn't know what to expect the first time around.

I wasn't really sure what I was doing…especially when it came to putting outfits together.

I googled, and researched and asked tons of people… and I never really got a grip on the whole "Coachella" thing.

"Wear comfortable shoes" they said, and "dress cute". What does that even mean?

So I packed about four bags of clothes, and shoes and accessories…. and somehow managed to come up with something "decent" to wear - which was so so.

The purpose these series of blogs (The Coachella Diaries) will be to give you tips on attending "chella", whether it's your first time or hundredth time - from my standpoint.

From tips on your shoes, clothes, accessories and outfits.

Here are some of my pics from last year…. hope you enjoy. I know I had a blast!

Falling in Love With Fall

September 22…. The first day of Fall… Where the temperatures begin to drop (in most places), the days become shorter and the nights become longer… and one of my favorite fashion seasons begin. There is somethings magnificent about wearing a jacket/coat/trench/blazer that I absolutely ADORE.

 It's Trendy, it's Classy, It's Chic and Sexy. 

Although I may not have much use for it in Los Angeles, that still doesn't stop me from spending money on my coats. 

Here are few that I am falling in love with:






J Brand Anise Zip Off Coat
$995
This is such a great coat (a bit $$) but can be worn two ways: short or long… and I LOVE the color!



Zara Lambskin Coat
$399




Calvin Klein Belted Wool Wrap
$310



Zara Terra-cotta Coat
$199





Gap Drop Shoulder Coat 
$158




Zara Wool Coat
$129




Zara Zip Pocket Coat
$199


Ellie Tahari Wool - India Asymmetrical Belted
(Looks similar to the Zara one above)
$515



Iro Oversized Collar Wool Coat
$688





Tibi Mohair Maxi Coat
$995






Tory Burch Knit Sweater Coat
$495



Vince Scuba Wool
$495


Zara Handmade Coat
$279


Some pointers for getting the best deal you can:

- Always shop sale: most of these stores almost always have coupons or sales regularly, so you can get the brand and quality at a great price. 

- Shop at outlet stores: most of these stores have outlet stores as well that have sales on top of the discounted prices. You can always check online or sign up on the email list, where you get the info on all the great deals.

- Buy your coats in February/March: That's when they clearance out. The best deals. I've gotten a $800 Tahari wool coat for $100, a $1500 Gucci wool blazer for $300, etc… 

- If you are really on a budget: There are some really great deals available on sites or stores like Overstock, Old Navy, Forever 21, and H&M to name a few. Know what your budget is and stick to it. If you can afford it, great. If you can't, there are so many options for different budgets. You never want to put that pressure on yourself.

Would You?

I've seen these baits in person… and fell in LOVE, until I saw the price….. $3,250. 

My question is, would you spend $3,250 on these Jimmy Choo Tia Pointy-Toe Jewel Pumps? 











Oh Yea, and apparently there is a bag to match… 




These shoes are absolutely beautiful! But I don't know about the $3,250 price tag… I think I'll pass, lol.  In case you are interested in buying these babies, you can find them here:


Happy Shopping!
