coachella 2013 favorites

I have yet to attend the beloved music festival in Indio, California, but every year I die over the lineup and dream up what I might wear and who I'd see. I always LOVE to see what festival-goers wear, celebrity or not. It's like the indie version of the Oscars. This year was very impressive.

Alexa Chung in Lacoste 

This is no surprise. I love anything and everything she wears.

Agyness Deyn in her own design for Dr. Martens 

Haven't seen much of Aggy lately, aside from her AMAZING Dr. Martens collaboration. I love how casual this look is, and that eyeball print is so stinkin' cute. I saw it as a dress which was also adorable.

Chanel Iman in Alexander Wang

Babe alert: Here is model Chanel Iman KILLING it in the most to-die-for Alexander Wang sandals. I absolutely love how she made these festival-ready and almost casual.

Diane Kruger

Always lovely and dresses to impress. I love her vintage rock tee with the printed short-shorts.

Madeline Sensibile from Obsessee wearing Agyness Deyn for Dr. Martens 

Here's the eyeball print again! I love it more as a dress, actually. Maddie is one of my favorite bloggers; she always manages to pull off the perfect rock girl look with girly items, masculine, thrifted, high-end, etc. The girl can do no wrong.

best dressed: cfda

The CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America) awards were earlier this week, and of course, the most exciting part was seeing what the attendees were wearing. Overall, I wanted to see more drama and more risk-taking, especially given the lineup of fashion all-stars. But there were some absolutely STUNNING looks from the evening, and I've narrowed down my favorites.

Joan Smalls in Michael Kors

My absolute favorite look of the night. Model Joan Smalls looks absolutely killer in a fresh, simple high-low dress with beautiful gold accessories to top it off. She looked like a Calvin Klein ad from the '90s. Simple and gorgeous.

Arizona Muse in Diane von Furstenberg

I love the unexpected element of the high boots with the mini dress. It's chic and very mod. 

Jessica Chastain in Prabal Gurung

Of course I had to pick Miss Babecity herself, Jessica Chastain. The always-gorgeous actress glittered in a shimmery dress with a cape and gold heels. I didn't get the best picture of her face, but her makeup was absolutely flawless as well.

Zoe Saldana in Prabal Gurung

Another knockout in Prabal Gurung. This dress was made for Zoe. She looks so high-fashion and insanely beautiful. 

Rachel Zoe in Rachel Zoe :)

The glamorous, exuberant Rachel Zoe shimmered and shined in a sequined gown designed by her. I would've expected nothing more from the always-fabulous designer. 

Jessica Pare in Jason Wu

The lovely actress was simple and fun in this electric pink and lace dress. I love the collar and the hair is perfect with it. 

The Olsen twins with Lauren Hutton

The three people that define personal style and effortless chic posed together in very different, but amazing looks. Hutton was cool and relaxed in a crisp white suit, while Mary-Kate (left) and Ashley (right) wore their designs for The Row.

boys don't make passes at girls who wear glasses

Or do they? Everyone loves girls in glasses. Are we really to believe that because a beautiful girls sports some specs that she's immediately the "nerdy", less-desirable friend (like Amanda Seyfried's character in 'Jennifer's Body' or any other teen movie where the geek becomes a babe because she takes off her glasses?). Give me a break. Wear your glasses proudly. I always gain a renewed love for my Chanel frames I see a sweet editorial or ad featuring lovely glasses.
