Ryzenberg On: Coachella Sartorialisms

Once a year, thousands of music fans flock to the desert for what has unofficially become the start of music festival season. Of course I am referring to Coachella.

This all-star parade of celebs, models and fashionistas often sets the bar pretty high for concerts and outdoor fun sartorialisms. Because I know how exhausting it is to look at hundreds of images of gorgeous people frolicking in the sun, I picked a handful of photos that show that laid-back California style as its best.

                  image   

Tie Dyes and Flowing Dresses: It doesn’t get more Coachella than this look. Perfect for sitting down on the lawn and dealing with 100-plus temperatures. I am also a fan of the ethereal braids.

Perfection. Period: This soft lace little number paired with oversized sunnies brings a bit of glamour to the polo fields. A denim jacket is a must, since temperatures dip to the 60s or even 50s at night.

Cutoffs and Stripes: You thought I wasn’t going to feature this? Well, I guess you don’t know me at all! Also love the stacks (both arms) and fringe bag, which always reminds me of Stevie Nicks. 

                       image

Prints & Textures: This look is about combining a variety of spring trends and doing them right. Colorful bag: Check, Crop top: Done and booties: Mission accomplished. 

If you plan on going to any of the fun festivals this season, I give you the bare (but stylish) necessities:

Ryzenberg On: Music Festival Fashions
As the temperature heats, so do the outdoor activities and one of the most popular music festivals is just around the corner — Coachella!
Once the lineup was announced a few months ago, tickets sold out within minutes (for both weekends) and I missed on my chance to see my all-time faves Radiohead, Bon Iver, Florence + the Machine and many other musical masterpieces.
But just as important as the acts, are the outfit choices. Although A-listers and fashionistas flock to these festivities, the desert gets hot and the right attire and accoutrements are indeed needed (hello sunscreen) so here is a checklist of a few bare necessities needed to survive one of the 2012’s most popular events:
Haute Hippie Racer Back Maxi Dress — www.netaporter.com
Michael Kors Raffia & Leather Backpack — www.netaporter.com
Mulberry Bayswater Flat Sandals — www.mulberry.com
ALEX AND CHLOE All My Heart Studs — www.alexandchloe.com
Dries Van Noten by Linda Farrow Printed Sunglasses — www.lagarconne.com
Rag & Bone Oversized V-Neck Tee — www.lagarconne.com
J BRAND Cutoffs in Tangerine — www.ottenyc.com
Crochet Floppy Hat — www.wetseal.com
Heart Heart Heart Printed Scarf — www.openingceremony.us
Pull and Bear Charmed Bracelets (pack of 15) — www.pullandbear.com
Philosophy ‘Here Comes the Sun’ SPF 30 Sunscreen — www.nordstrom.com
All Saints Vintage Lace Up Boot — www.allsaints.com
Also, remember that some of these items can be used at Bonaroo, Outside Lands (remember — layering up is KEY as Golden Gate Park gets chilly) and many other festivals worldwide. 
Enjoy and for those of use indulging in some heavy partying in Palm Springs, say hello to my therapist (although he doesn’t know it) Thom Yorke! In my world, everything is a little bit better with a Radiohead dosage!
