The best of the best: Coachella

Oh to be a Coachella Maven! The fashion standard is set by the A-list, the music is the best of the best and it runs over two weekends in the middle of the dessert. It's so random you can't help but love it!

Here are a pick of my favourite Coachella outfits, proudly brought to you by the disgustingly good-looking Hollywood set who makes "Casual Chic" look too easy!

*Apologies in advance for the overuse of the "!! "Coachella get's me a tad hyper.

I don't normally like a matching ensemble, but there is nothing, in my eyes, that Kate can do wrong, therefore I love it! Damn her awesomeness! (and those boots!!)

Lesson 1: Always strut with your shoulders back!


I have never dissed any of Diane Kruger's oufits NEVER!! So I am choosing to think that this photo was simply taken from a bad angle and her skirt really doesn't blend with her legs in such an ugly colour. Nope, must be the lighting.

p.s has Pacey put on weight?? Still cute!


YES I have already included a pic of Kate NO I don't care. She.is.awesome. 

Does nobody tan anymore?? Love the hat, love the boyff.. that's all I got for this one. 
Lesson 2: tan is your friend.

I hate that I love this but I doooo! The bright statement top rocks and I'm pretty sure there is a rhyme about orange and purple not going well together but it's RITA ORA in all her crazy hair glory. So whatevzzz!

I.love.this.so.much!! 
It's like a flashback to the 70's with all that lace and leather. 
Suddenly carrots are looking super tasty compared to my cupcake.. I want those legs! Mmm... carrots!
Love.

So simple, tanned legs, great hat, super cute!

Pink hair YEAH YEAH!!  
The floral is too cute for words and her bag. sunnies, shoes and bracelets really work! I could not put together a better outfit if I tried. I don't know who she is but she's my new icon.

My icon: Iris Apfel


Is this not the most fabulous female icon you have ever heard of!!

Iris Apfel is a 91 year old fashion maven hailing from New York who describes herself as a "geriatric starlet".

With an impressive resume that includes interior design, fashion muse, and eyewear creator,  Iris' life has been far from boring. She sits front row at the major fashion shows, has been the cover girl on many international Fashion Magazines and attends all the A-list New York events.

Iris developed a cult following in 2005 when the Metropolitan Museum of Art held an exhibition of Iris' flamboyant outfits titled "Rara Avis: The Irreverent Iris Apfel".

Following this exhibition, at the spritely age of 84, MAC cosmetics named a collection under her name,  designer Jimmy Choo named a sandal in her honor and she even brought out her own eyewear  and handbag ranges.

In a world that is obsessed with staying youthful, Iris defies all odds and has a refreshing take on life. She sees style as a personal choice and dresses only to please herself. She points out that fashion is fun and shouldn't be taken too seriously.

I love that Iris reminds us that you are never too young or too old to accomplish something. The world is your oyster, and all that jazz!

Here are some of my favorite Iris quotes..
