The Fest Dress

Once Bitten Dress (on sale!), Boots and Backpack via Charm School Vintage, Brixton Hat

Good day darlings! I'm back from Nashville and although it was a jam packed weekend I feel so refreshed and ready to tackle this week. While I was away ACL was happening over here in Austin. I've gone to ACL a few times and while it's not my favorite festival I still appreciate it for many reasons. One of them being the fashion, of course. I'm a big music fan but an even bigger festival fashion lover. This little dress from my friends at Once Bitten is perfect for a Texas music fest. It's airy for the warmer days we are still having and comfy for lounging on the grass listening to your favorite bands. It's also the perfect outfit for my favorite festival that's coming up next month, Fun Fun Fun Fest. If you're looking for something to wear to your next festival you're in luck because I have a discount coupon for all my readers to Once Bitten! They've got so many great pieces for festival season. Use code pieceology15 to get 15% off your entire order now through the end of this month. Treat yo self! You deserve it.

Currently Coveting- Festival Goodies

Hi there. How's it going? Are you in full festival mode like I am now that Spring is in full swing (hello Jazz Fest this weekend)?! Well, if you are... or you aren't quite feelin' it yet, here are a few pieces to help you get a little bit more excited. They've all been swirling around in my dreams since the weather finally hit the 70s mark a few weeks ago. Seriously, FINALLY.

1. Forever 21 Romper - Fitted rompers are perfect to pair underneath something flowy and see through like...
2. Free People Romper - This romper which can be worn for so many different occasions. It's a swimsuit cover up, it's a sexy number for a night out with friends, it's a comfy, cool get up for your next festival frolicking from stage to stage, it's even pj's. Yep, do I even need to say it? I totally already bought it.
3. Free People Backpack - You can't go wrong with a leather embroidered backpack for all the free swag you'll accumulate + all the supplies you'll need while festing for hours in the hot hot heat (wow, remember that band???).  
4. Pixie Market Bra Top - I'm really digging bra tops right now with interesting architectural straps. Another staple to wear under something sheer.
5. Pixie Market Espadrilles - If you're short like me or just want some extra height to see over the crowds while watching your favorite band a flatform is a smart choice. It'll give you inches without killing your feet after a full day of walking... and dancing of course.
6. Modern Vice Booties - I can't tell you how long I've been lusting over these booties. Those studs, that suede. So perfect. I think a bootie like this (or a cute pair of sneakers) is the ultimate way to go at festivals. They're comfy, cool, and will keep your feet protected from other feet, mud, sludge, puddles, dirt, grime, etc, etc, etc.

Happy festival season! What festival(s) are you going to this year?

P.S. Did y'all see the ACL Lineup? It came out yesterday morning along with tickets going on sale as well! I have to say I'm super pumped. Lana, Spoon, Jagwar Ma, Real Estates, Jenny Lewis, Phantogram, and my new obsessed Iggy Azalea (who just dropped her new album, The New Classic, yesterday) just to name a few. Maybe I already bought first weekend passes... Ok, who am I kidding? You know I did.

Weekend Review: Fun Fun Fun Fest

Oh, Fun Fun Fun Fest, how I love you. Yet again this festival has proven to be my favorite. The food, the crowd, the lineup, the venue, the fashion. All so much better than any other music festival I've ever been to. Best. Weekend. Ever. And can we talk about these beautiful over-the-knee boots from Duo Boots?! I'm obsessed. They fit like a glove and are so comfortable. Perfect festival footwear.

Also, I'm featured on the Keep Austin Stylish street style blog along with more fashionable Fun Fun Fun Fest festival goers. Check us out! Thank you for including me Joanna :)

It's almost time for ACL... So of course my outfits are already planned and this is pretty similar to what I'll be wearing on Saturday. It's going to be in the 70s! That's some perfect weather if you ask me. Especially for Texas. Meaning I'll be able to wear pants and a light jacket (gasp)... At least earlier and later in the day. Check back tomorrow for my Music Edition ACL playlist. Whoop!

1. Necklace- Vanessa Mooney, 2. Shirt- Rockabilia (similar), 3. Jacket- VELVET, 4. Backpack- Billabong, 5. Booties- Steve Madden, 6. Pants- 3.1 Phillip Lim (similar)

Tan Lines & Sunburn

Striped Dress, worn as a shirt- H&M (similar) / Vest- Urban Outfitters / Skirt- Forever 21 / Boots- Jeffrey Campbell / Backpack- Forever 21 / Sunnies- American Apparel / Lips- Stila in 'Beso'

I had to get pretty creative with this outfit to hide the weird farmer tan and sunburn I acquired over the weekend at Free Press in Houston. I've now begun to peel... love it. Happy weekend!!

P.S. Backpacks are the new purse this summer. Get one, ya dig!

Channeling Coachella

Romper- Free People (old) / Denim Vest- Levi's / Booties- Madison Harding x lust for life / Bag- B. Makowsky / Necklace- Forever 21 (similar) / Rings- Silpada / Watch- Michael Kors / Lips- Mac 'Pink Nouveau'

Who else is feeling super inspired by Coachella style after seeing all the photos of fashionable festival goers this past weekend? Kate Bosworth made me melt a little bit... This outfit is definitely something I would wear if I were there. The romper is so airy and comfortable. And a denim vest and cut-out booties are a no-brainer in my eyes. Topped off the outfit with a side braid and chunky jewelry to "hippie" it up a bit. Buy me a ticket, I'm on my way for weekend 2... I wish. Anyone actually going this weekend? Wait, don't tell me. I'm already jealous.

My New View

Check out my new view. Isn't it beautiful? I'm finally starting to settle into my new place after a busy past few weeks of moving, SXSW, and NYC. I feel so lucky that I have this to look at right in my backyard whenever I want. This outfit was something I wore during South By and I think it went so well with this backdrop. Oh, and happy first of the month! April is always my favorite because I get to celebrate my birthday. It's on Wednesday :)

Outfit Details: Denim Button Up- Target / Crop Top- American Apparel / Cut Offs- Vintage Levis / Leather Cap- ASOS / Bag- Coach / Jewelry- Nordstrom Rack, Stella & Dot, Michael Kors, BaubleBar

The night before SXSW officially started my roomie and I went to see STRFKR at Mohawk. Great show.

Watched some bands play at Speak Easy right in front of the Frost Tower. Pretty bad ass view.

Yay! Got to see my friends Rosco Bandana (from Mississippi) play at Javelina on Rainey St. So glad we got to hang out and watch the show. You guys were great! As usual.

What what what what. Outside of Stubb's I got to meet Ben Haggerty AKA Macklemore! Best day :)

Oh yeah, and his right hand man. The crazy talented and super adorable Ryan Lewis!!

Had so much fun at the Rachael Ray Party at Stubb's. Got to do the Footloose line dance during Kenny Loggins performance. Pretty cool!

And finally, to end a LONG week of not only SX, but also moving into a new place and trying to get settled in, I had a relaxing bunch at Haddington's on St. Paddy's Day with my best friends :)

It was fun SX, but now time to rest for a couple days then I'm off to NYC for mine and my mom's birthday. I'm wearing a short tank dress right now, and it's going to be in the 30s and 40s in NYC. Burrrrr. But I'm still super excited to visit again. Weeeee! Stay tuned.
