Festive Fashions

Summer is quickly approaching and with it comes music festivals. Music festivals such as Coachella, The Hangout, and Bonaroo have produced a cult fashion movement of boho chic styles representing the free and vibrant attitudes of the youth in attendance. If you’re planning on attending a music festival this summer I suggest you get to shopping, and to make it easier for you I have listed my top 5 "must have" pieces sure to make you stand out in the best of ways. Don’t be reserved in your outfit at these events, it’s a time to be creative and out there! So, here's your shopping list:
1) Funky Shades
2) Floppy Brim Hats
3) Denim with Hardware
4) Crop Tops
5) Ankle Booties

These shades are ultra cool (and at $8, they're a steal in comparison to the originals by Prada)

Mix it up with fun colors. I love these Peach shades, they'll brighten up your entire outfit.

These retro glasses will give your outfit the perfect amount of vintage style without going overboard (and without breaking the bank!)

Nope, big hats aren't just for horse races anymore, and what a perfect way to protect yourself in the sun while looking stylish!

The combo of black and tan stripes in this hat give off the retro vibe that has become so popular this season.

These cut offs are short without showing off too much in the rear. Be careful when picking shorts that your behind is covered, no one wants to see that!

The subtle touch of studs around the pockets give these the perfect amount of edge without overdoing it. You don't want to look like you belong in a biker gang.

I am a huge fan of dark denim, and the pairing of gold studs works amazing with them. These shorts are great when being paired with a crop top, but err on the side of caution with high waisted shorts. They are not suitable for all body types.

I love this bustier top because it is colorful and once again has a very retro feel. Make sure to pair it with a higher waisted bottom. You'll show plenty of skin in your legs and up top!

This bustier crop top provides full coverage in the chest, showing more skin in the middle. Once again, a higher waisted bottom is recommended, as shown on the model.

This crop tee is so colorful and perfect for summer, with shades of neon to play off your tan. High waisted jeans will work, but are not necessary due to the complete coverage up top.

The trend in lace and crochet is hot right now, and the proof is in this top. A tinge of romance mixed with bohemian vibes makes this top a must have! Be sure to wear a bandeau bra underneath.

So, you may be skeptical about wearing boots in summer, but trust me on this one. These are hot on the market right now and pair with all the items above.

I especially love the detail of the fringe in this pair of booties. They add just that extra little boho touch to your look.
