Today was a very unsuccessful day. I missed my speak and listening test and didn't take anything into college with me because I was to hot and sticky and wanted to travel light since I had such a short day.. but any how I ended up in the library looking at textiles books and taking pictures of my pretty bag from etsy.com all the way from thailand and my pretty sparkly nails. I swear I never used to be this Girly.
I also came across some really interesting stuff whilst being a blog addict. Super inspired but I have no time to create for myself at the moment and that is the worst. I must find time to create for myself or I'll lose motivation!
So ever since I started blogging I have loved GIF's and GIF making, Like I love pictures.. but moving pictures! What more could you want? So I gathered some of my favourites and some of my own that I made but like a dumby I forgot to save them with the source links but you can find them over at my tumblr (Ohddaughter) with the proper credits! I apologise and I hope you enjoy moving pictures as much as my simple mind haha.
Coachella weekend is here and I've pulled all nighters for both in order to catch my favourite acts and the top news! Thats dedication no? I think that deserves a lifetime free pass.
Anyhow
I think I've become so lost in awe at coachella lifestyle and community I've lost sight of reality. Its like a land of dreams and guess what... Kaitlin and I, and a few others plan to go easter/spring break 2014. I think me and Kaitlin deserve a trip after working our buts off and getting into universities, I think we will need it. Plus I've never left the UK so this is something completely new to me, I cant wait! Something to look forward too, something to work for ! Oh hell I can't even contain my excitement. I just hope the lineup is as good as this years or better. I mean come on this years line up was a dream for me it couldn't have been more right
how will they top it?
Anyway lets start with a few pictures !
Celeb' couples, friends and ex band members gather at Coachella dressed to impress... the hell out of me. Not one outfit/item of clothing here I would wear myself! So perfect. I plan to dress like a complete hippy/traveller/trance/fairy/queen but some how make this work as a fashionable, wearable outfit.
Some of my favourite acts:
James Blake.. isn't he amazing. His music is the kind that is so good my head can't process it properly and I get angry. He is that good. Take a listen!
Local natives! Now I could find the full set stream but this is my most favourite song ever. It takes me back to about three years maybe four years ago when I discovered on myspace... yes..... myspace.
There are so many more, but these two are the ones I enjoyed most. Complete favs and help me steam through my piles upon piles of course work!
Who doesn't love music? More specifically who doesn't love music festivals? Ugh I long for September to roll around to be able to see Mumford & Sons (yes, be jealous.)
But until that time comes, I just have to sit back and envy the folks who made it to Coachella this year. The fashion, the art, the mutual love for incredible music and overall good vibes in California leave me starry eyed.
I've always been a fan of Coachella, but this year's lineup left me in awestruck. I swear someone read my mind and picked out all of the possible artists that I am deeply infatuated with. The line up this year was sick! A few jaw droppers were Yeasayer, Local Natives and Ben Howard. Brooke and I are eagerly waiting to hear what next year has to offer.
We are so stoked for Coachella 2014 like you wouldn't believe. We even plan on attending the festivities! Cali has always been a place that my heart belongs to. Music also holds a special place in my heart, so this would be the perfect opportunity for me!
I cannot get over the Coachella attire so I've kinda planned out my ideal outfit. It's exactly my cup of tea. Shabby boho is the way to go. I love just a flowly dress, maybe tie dye?Booties or gladiator sandals are a must. Maybe a taupe and neon yellow half moon mani to add a twist to your outfit. And of course tons of arm candy, a hat and rings galore!
Drooling, drooling, the drooling never stops over this lineup
One of my personal picks from Coachella this year definitely had to be Allen Stone. He's made his way up to the top, quickly. People still are just discovering his music and thanks to Coachella he got a lot of publicity. Although I didn't get to catch him live, this man has got so much soul! You would never know how talented he was due to his nerdish good looks and long lion mane of hair. I am in love with his passion for music and I may be in love with him overall.
Another artist I cannot ever get over is Alt-J I am so in love with them. Ugh. I may even get to see them in the next coming months when they come to Florida (cue high pitched fangirl screaming.) My favorite song of their's is by far "Bloodflood". Take a listen, you're in for a treat.
Finally, here is an artist I have been addicted to for at least 5 years now. This is Phoenix everyone. Let me just tell you how friggin' incredible they are live. They pumped me up so much I almost was screaming while watching them in my house.
Saving my spare change now. See ya next year Coachella ;)
