Coachella Weekend 1 Recap

This past weekend was the first for most of our group and the best way to describe our experience is: EPIC. The laughs, the photos, the bands, DJs, sand storms, long nights and endless walking... you find yourself asking "When can we go back?" Technically, this weekend, however, the wise and responsible adult knows it's best to wait a year. 

Solange Knowles and R. Kelly made an appearance on stage, and celebrities such as Hilary Duff, Katy Perry, and the Hilton sisters were spotted among the crowd. A few of our favorites were Local Natives, Dog Blood, Passion Pit, the XX... actually we could go on forever. 

While the music take center stage the style doesn't sit on the sidelines. You can't help but look around at the sometimes eccentric outfits. Patterns, bright colors, floral, lace and even leather grace the festival. Below are a few snapshots from Coachella as well as outfits we loved via pinterest. For those hitting the festival this weekend, here's our must-haves!

With over 20 suits to choose from, you'll have difficulty just choosing one! They come in different styles and colors, sizes ranging from XS to L. Oh, did we mention some of the bikini tops can be worn 4 different ways? Yup! mix and match, and wear them as you please!

Justin Timberlake, suiting up for 'Legends of the Summer'

Justin Timberlake is without a doubt showing us a few things. The video, if you have not seen it, is in black and white (of course), and was directed by David Fincher (Fight Club, The Social Network). The video is a perfect fit to the song; classic-feel with a bit of dancing and Jay-Z. 
There were mixed reviews about "Suit & Tie" and while I am in no where near being a music critic, I expected something different from Justin. I suppose the fact that "Sexy Back"  continues to be a favorite of mine, my expectations and long await for his comeback was too much to live up to.(Since he was obviously thinking of me in the recording studio; one could only hope). But artists must grow and therefore Justin's single is a stepping stone in a new direction. One in which I'm sure all fans are excited to see.
Regardless of my opinion or anyone else's for that matter, his concert tour with Jay-Z called "Legends of the Summer" will without a doubt, sell out. Tickets go on sale today at 10am on Ticketmaster.  And yes, along with thousands of other fan-girls, I will be trying to get a ticket.  

This is more like it... "Mirrors" 

How To: Create Romantic Waves with Heidi Klum

Heidi Klum and hair expert Eric Gabriel teach you how to get sultry waves. Inspired 

by the classic 20's era hairstyle, it's perfect for date nights or a night out with your

girl-friends. Whatever the occasion, you'll fall in love with it!

What you'll need: 

- hair curler

(medium size)

- thermal spray 

(protects & sets the hair)

- hair clips 

(to hold sections of hair, while working on others)

- boar bristle brush

(won't pull hair, gentle as well)

Now, once you have everything you need to get started, head over to 

Heidi Klum on AOL for the tutorial. Good luck!

// SPOTTED! //

You might recognize the lovely model in the how to video. It is none other

 than Morgan, who can be seen all over Moderne's social media outlets. 

She was one of our models for our holiday shoot last fall (see below) and was a 

pleasure to work with. 

Mink Pink New Arrivals!

Mink Pink Jumper // Grey Pants // Booties // Purse 

If you've read any fashion site or blog in the past few months you more 
than likely spotted a graphic sweatshirt. They grasp your attention and can be worn 
numerous ways; fashion forward or subtle chic.Mink Pink's 'ROAR' jumper is
 no exception. This exclusive print fits true to size and has fitted sleeves. 
Layer above a blouse or denim shirt. Best part? You can wear all year round. 

Mink Pink Blouse // Purse // Striped Pumps // Floral Skirt

I have yet to meet a girl who says she has too many blouses. We all know there 
is always another great blouse to be bought and worn; Mink Pink's 'Sweet Shop' 
blouse is a perfect example. This long sleeved collared sleeved top is in a 
beautiful mint color, covered in polka dots and sports a slightly longer hem in the back.
Great go-to top to throw on with denim shorts or pants.

Beauty Post: Celebrity Hair Trend

While you might have already  been sporting the deep part (like myself), it had a big presence at the 2013 Golden Globes. From "Rachel Berry" Lea Michele to always stunning Megan Fox, A-listers brought their hair A-game. 

Each lady had a different approach to the deep part. Most implemented the old hollywood waves, but had unique twists to their look. Jennifer Lopez, swept her part over as well as Nicole Ritchie. Messy or perfectly curled, to the right or left, this hair trend is here to stay. 

Remember, this look can be worn at any time. 

Retro waves are best for nights out and a bit messy and loose during the day.

Have fun and happy styling!

Motto Monday

People will always surprise you, good and bad. 

Giving up is being defeated. Anything is possible, remember people can change. 

While you should look for the good in people remember you can not change someone, moving on is not giving up on someone but allowing yourself to live the life you deserve, eventually all will fall into place.

Style Post: Boy Meets Girl

We had the amazing opportunity to work with photographer Nicole L. Hill in LA this past weekend. The experience of running around and finding hidden gems to snap some photos is one for the books. It was a great way to start 2013 for Lovemoderne. Our model, Sara Lucassen, had the perfect attitude for our “Boy Meets Girl” looks.

We decided to mix it up with a little flannel from JACHS and girly-spunk from Wildfox. Featured above are the following: 

MINKPINK – Noughts and Crosses Skirt

Wildfox – Nove Hippie V-Neck

JACHS – Thomas Long Shirt
