WHAT TO PACK: FESTIVAL SEASON!

Hello everyone, 

The desert festivities are on the way with the coming of music festivals this spring. Time to dig out all your hair glitter, cool accessories, boho dresses from last year and pack them for a musical adventure of a lifetime! 

Year after year we get better with packing especially if this isn't our first time ever attending a festival. We quickly learn the do's and dont's! The more prepared you are, the better time you'll have to fully enjoy the scene, the music, the vibes. So what do you say... let's get ready for this exciting trip?

I've got a few must-haves you should check you've got before hitting the road to Coachella or any other festival near your city! 

   

1. Clothing 

First thing's first, you've got to get your outfits ready depending on how many days you'll be at the festival and how many outfit changes you want for different photo opportunities. It's easiest to lay them all out, so you can see everything yourself before placing it all in your suitcase. This way you can also work-out the accessories you plan for each outfit. Here I would suggest taking mostly dresses, fun ruffled rompers or any two-set pieces because they're the easiest to wear and style. You can most definitely turn them into bohemian looks by adding the known fringe, denim, floral prints, lace and anything that will match the desert festival vibes. 

2. Accessories

Once you've got an idea of your boho-chic outfits, the accessories are the next big step to consider. You can add bandanas (to help protect your face from the dust), small backpack (to carry your snacks/water/sunscreen), sunglasses ( you know why) and the more fun things, like golden body tattoos, hats, belts, hair pieces. You can work your imagination and really come up with thousands of outfits that feel like you and make you feel one with the mood of any music festival. 

3. Comfortable Shoes   

This is one I have to follow my own advice to because I'm a sucker for heels. Knowing you'll be standing up most of the time it's important to pack comfortable shoes. If you don't want your feet to turn into dust choose something like combat boots. If you're okay with getting a little dirty go for nice comfortable sandals, wedges or espadrilles. As you know, choose black ones, so they can go with all your planned outfits. Plus, this way you'll save lots of space in your luggage. BINGO! 

4. Sunscreen 

An obvious one, but also one we sometimes tend to forget. Don't leave the house without a sunscreen and as a matter of fact don't forget to apply your sunscreen frequently throughout the day. To make it more fun apply it to the rhythm of the music. Others will think you're crazy, but so what!?
Be sure to have it at hand at all the time, not leaving it behind in the hotel room. With so much to think about, this sometimes happens, but make the sunscreen part of your look and you'll never regret it. 

5. Bring Layers

I know it's the desert - meant to be super humid and hot, but at night it gets chilly and you'll need a denim jacket, kimono or any type of jacket to help keep you warm. Have it wrapped around your waist the whole time or have it in your backpack. In the end you'll be glad you carried it with you all day long!
