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!
