Ode to Woodstock

50 years ago this weekend saw the most monumental festival in history that defined a generation. Where nearly 500,000 ‘flower children’ came together for 3 epic days of peace, love and music.

Without violence, without fighting in spite of everything they were up against, proving to the world that peace and love wins!

The hippies were right. When I finally get my time machine Woodstock 1969 is my first destination, who’s coming with me? 

La Bella Coachella

The fashion tribes gathered once again this Easter, in their glitter and glory, turning the festival fields of Coachella into a  colourful catwalk, to see and be seen. Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival was as spectacular as ever this year and kicks off the start of festival season with an almighty fashion bang! With a musical lineup as eclectic as the outfits,  Coachella is a real feast for the senses. This year’s artists included Tame Impala, Weezer, The 1975, Aphex Twin, Billie Eilish, South Korean girl group BLACKPINK, Kanye West and his sunday service, Donald Glover, Deep dish, Christine and the Queens, Maggie Rogers, Jaden Smith (with an appearance from his dad Will) and headliner Ariana Grande who also brought out special guests to the stage including the return of Justin Bieber! But of course, Coachella is more than just the music and we’re all just as interested in what they wore as much as what they listened to!

From bohemian babes to latex lovers, Hipsters, glamsters, punk and grunge…

Here are some of the best Coachella 2019 outfits

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.

Spring vintage 2018

Hey guys! We’re all looking forward to the summer here at The Stellar Boutique. We’ve got some great new vintage transitional pieces for you all in this changeable weather. For those times when you might need to throw on a jumper and those exciting times when you’re looking for festival wear. Planning on going to Glastonbury? We got you covered!

On our radar and new in the shop are great pieces such as this 70s vintage loop knit cardigan – throw it on over a rock n roll t-shirt and you’re good to go. Relive the 90s and be right on trend in our vintage lilac shell suit jacket. Embrace the Kate Moss look in our oversized boyfriend sweatshirt – it looks great with chunky boots. Howl at the moon with our beautiful 90s vintage wolf sweatshirt. Have you come over all Jackie Brown? Get your hands on our 70s vintage suede waistcoat with panelling and pockets. Wear our funky vintage knitted silver stripe gilet with shoulder lapels layered over pretty much anything and you’ll be the belle of the festival. Wear our cute 80s vintage cropped blouse with jeans or an 80s a-line skirt and dance into the night. If print is your thing, take a look at the 70s vintage scallop knit jumper. We love a good slogan here at The Stellar Boutique. If you do too, take a look at our 90s vintage ‘team purebred’ sweatshirt. And last but definitely not least, this 90s vintage Burberry-style corduroy bomber jacket.

This is an exciting time for us and there’s a lot more vintage clothing to come!

 

Coachella – fashion tribe or music vibe?

So Coachella has come to an end and, once again, kick starts the festival trends for the summer ahead! With an A-list line up of artists including Guns n Roses, LCD Soundsystem, The Kills, Bat For Lashes, The Last Shadow Puppets and DJ’s Sasha and John Digweed (the list goes on), the music alone is enough to give you festival envy. But still, rightly or wrongly so (I can’t decide), it seems to be the revellers fashion choices that attracts the most attention, side tracking from the music, Coachella has become more infamous as a festival fashion parade!

Coachella is the closest thing the USA has to the UK’s ultimate music festival Glastonbury, the only thing that’s guaranteed to be better is the weather!! So with that in mind, celebrities and festival goers alike can really make the most of showing off their summer style. BohemianHippie (with an added dose of sex appeal) seems to be the unwritten dress code. Long floaty dresses, grunge rock Tees, denim cut-off’s, floppy hats, coin jewellery, 70’s flares, Janis Joplin style sunnies, tassels, lace, crochet, tie-dye, and flower child head dresses are the apparent uniform!

Think ‘contrived Woodstock’ and you’ll get the idea!

My only hope is that these fashion concious beauties forget the fashion show and really get down and dirty to enjoy the music as the sun goes down! That’s really what it’s about after all!

Having said that, I can’t help but love some of the festival style on show each year at Coachella, so here’s a look at some of the best of 2016’s fashion tribe…..

Now, fashion show aside, here are a few of my fave pics from Coachella that remind us of why music festivals are so damn special! That feeling of freedom and ‘anything goes’, the electric energy and a vibe of ‘oneness’ that can’t be beaten no matter what you’re wearing!
