LBS at Coachella: The Recap (Part 2)

LBSatCoachella2013

So I’ve already given you a run-through of my crazy first day in The Recap – Part 1. By day two, I had music festival fashion literally down to a science after seeing all the creative outfits and trends re-emerge in similar fashion. I also now officially knew my way around the festival grounds (and where to get a Wifi signal – c’mon 4G, don’t fail me now!) Days 2 and 3 had more of the music acts I wanted to see so it was a ton of fun stage-hopping and dancing with strangers. Good times.

Day 2: Performance-Hopping

For Day 2, I knew there’d be a ton of running around. Plus, it was a scorcher at 97 degrees so I sprung for a “Florence & The Machines” graphic tee from H&M, jean cutoff shorts from Forever 21 and a pair of Sam Edelman gladiator flats.

There were so many great acts on Saturday. Everyone from 2 Chainz to Janelle Monae. I split my time between music performances, heading back to the H&M tent (I was addicted to shimmying down in that photo booth!) and taking street style pics.

I even bumped into some old friends! Remember Nikita from our Drop The Dryer series? Yep, she was there in an amazing pair of printed shorts.

In between shows and street style-snapping, I headed back to the H&M tent for another jam session in the video booth with Nikita and her friends…

After eating and going to a few more sets, I headed over to see my favorite – Janelle Monae.

Janelle played an amazing set. And proceeded to crowd-surf to close out her performance. Amazingness.

Day 3: Poolside Coachillin’

On the final day of Coachella, they rested. Well, not exactly but something close to that. Instead of slaving out in the hot desert festival grounds for the first half of the day, we partied it up at the Adidas Originals Do Over #Dochella Party.

Finally time to whip out the swimwear!

The pool party took place at the Ace Hotel Palm Springs. Such a chic venue.

Guest DJ Questlove was on the 1’s and 2’s spinning everything from old school classics to original beats. That’s me photo-bombing him while he DJs.

Loved all the swimwear on display at the party. Such great colors and patterns.

This two-piece from H&M was such a huge hit, me and Kamaria both showed up wearing it. Such a great style for curvy girls. The high-waisted bottom hides imperfections and the top gives vintage pin-up glamour.

  1. oops! I commenteted under the Beyonce’s post. Here is my comment now. I read both recaps and I felt like I was there with you. I love your hair Christina and you looked really nice with your signature red lip.

    I am not a big girl but I love to see a woman with confidence. You worked that bathing suit like nobody’s business.

    1. Awww thank you SO much! It’s taken me a while to feel comfortable in a two-piece but I think all women, curvy or not, should celebrate their bodies and feel comfy in their own skin 🙂

  2. OMG! You look like you had so much fun. I am definitely going to try to get my butt out there next year. Loving your recaps.

  3. It was such a blast! You should most definitely make it out there next year. It’s an unforgettable time.
