Fried cheese and fedoras: Coachella 2011

I am back from one of my most anticipated trips and while I was unpacking my clothes from my music festival getaway vacation, I had to wash and later repack it for my latest trip, that is to Germany, Poland, and Israel! (I will be gone for a month, so I will be taking a hiatus until May 25th, more details to come).

Coachella was filled with musical talent, interestingly clad people, and people who danced with a fever of ecstasy. It was amazing, to say the least. Props to all the people in charge of planning Coachella, you did a wonderful job! I ran from stage to stage like a chicken without a head, trying to hear everyone, despite the conflicts. It was hard, and I'm pretty sure I lost weight from walking so much, but that may have been due to the "Trail of Tears"--the dreaded walk from the music festival back to the shuttles. The weather was beautiful and it was always in the high 90s, but it did tend to cool down at night.

I was not disappointment by any of the performances that I saw, and all the artists and bands were fantastic. I was in indie music heaven, and techno heaven! Never in my life have I danced so much, or had so much fun. Sometimes I had to separate from my group to see bands that they didn't want to see, and I still had a blast! In general everyone was super friendly and at Coachella for the same reason as me--to hear some of the best live musical performances. However not only was I there to hear music, but to snap some candid shots of fashionable folks! There were people there from all over, and from the accents I picked up, I heard some Australians and Irish people among the few! It was really quite an experience, and not sleeping the night before to pack the perfect outfits was worth it (I literally slept 2 hrs the night before Coachella). 

Enjoy the pictures! These were all taken by me, but later I will post some pictures of celebs that were at Coachella such as Whitney Port (of which I did not take pictures of)! 

Most seen outfits:
Jean cut offs
Fedoras
Floppy hats
Maxi dresses
Crop tops
Native American headdresses
Lace-up boots (even in the desert!)






At A-Track (I'm pretty sure that is David Macklovitch of Chromeo since A-Track is his younger brother...)






After Empire of the Sun, on our way to Arcade Fire!

p.s-and one of my cousins who I went to Coachella with, made fried cheese at night when we'd get back to the hotel around 2 am. Delish.
