Coach-hella-yeah!

It was that time of the year again when festival-goers came together in the California desert to enjoy the atmosphere, see some bands, and show off their individual, and often far out, style.

Coachella saw more than 100,000 people attend the 2-week celebration and was commended this year for its diversity. Queen Bey spoke to the crowd at the end of her set; “thank you Coachella for allowing me to be the first black woman to headline”. Her virtual crown stayed put even after a fall whilst performing with her sister, Solange.

In other news Ariana Grande made a surprise appearance at the festival, singing her new powerful song, ‘No Tears Left to Cry’. Marilyn Manson joined rock band X Japan to perform an Eurythmics cover. Other artists performing included Dreams, a band featuring Silverchair singer Daniel Johns, melodic rockstar St Vincent, ethereal folk band First Aid Kit, Californian sisters Haim, funk-pop comeback kid Jamiroquai, electronic rock band Pvris, and indie folksters Fleet Foxes.

Cardi-can!

Yes, cardigans can conjure up the image of sweet grannies knitting in a rocking chair but we at The Stellar Boutique are here to tell you that cardigans are rock n roll, people! For 2018, trend forecasters have told us that cardigans have a laidback mood, with slouchy silhouettes and rustic texture. You only need to look at some of the icons below who have rocked a cardigan to know it should be a staple part of your wardrobe. We have a great selection of vintage cardigans in the shop, so have a peek at these versatile vintage gems.

 

Bjork

Icelandic queen of the quirky, Bjork, often sported a cool mohair cardigan or jumper during the 90s. Her style was feminine with an edge; a cardigan layered with a silky slip dress and chunky boots was one trademark style. Bjork embraced an unusual style and took inspiration from all corners of the globe, a practice she continues to this day.

 Kurt Cobain

As an intern at The Stellar Boutique, I couldn’t write a cardigan blog without including one of my grunge gods. Kurt Cobain is arguably the most iconic rock and roll idol ever to wear a cardigan and is a style inspiration to both women and men. Kurt’s casual thrift store style saw him cross gender boundaries, throwing together dresses, cardigans, ripped jeans and Converse.

Drew Barrymore

Scream sister, Drew Barrymore, is one of our ultimate icons of cool. One of her best friend was Hole singer Courtney Love, and she once dated guitarist Eric Erlandson – true rock connections. We love Drew’s ability to go from sweet to sassy, embracing lace, denim and leather to name a few. She has the layered look down to a T.

 Gwen Stefani

A true chameleon, No Doubt singer Gwen’s style has evolved through the years, bringing inspiration from punk-inspired edginess, designer wear and Japan’s Harajuku district. Never one to shy away from the bold look, we think Gwen is a true style icon.
