I have not seen so much rain in a short time span as I’ve seen over the past week. I’m beginning to forget what the sun looked like. That is, until I saw this gorgeous photoshoot of a Palm Springs getaway.

With summer upon us, music festival season has arrived! This year I won’t be going to any sleep away festivals (Wakarusa, I’ll miss you!) but I will be attending several concerts. Concerts and festivals are a great place to pull out (pull off) some of the stuff you love but consider too “out there” for daily wear. Case in point: feathers, onesies, boy shorts as pants, anything sheer, jewelry overload, headgear and bold color combos. The best places to find shop these looks would definitely be thrift stores. If you’re local, I recommend Grey Dog, Cheap Thrills, The Daisy Exchange & The Samaritan Shop. As I write this, I realize I should put together a list of local thrift stores so keep a look out for that in a future post.
You can see some of the most stylish people in their warm-weather bohemian best at these events. Let’s see how they do it…

Have you heard of Hanneli Mustaparta? Well, she’s a gorgeous & stylish model as well as an accomplished photographer and blogger. You can find her here. Obviously with the body of a model you can pull of almost anything but I really love her quirky choices (she’s fond of DIY turbans and CVS socks).
Bee from Atlantic – Pacific has amazing style and a very chic blog.

One of my very favorite things about having long hair is that I can tie it in a knot. While this does not always look chic, it is always easy and effective. This style technique looks best when you’re bronzed and your hair is wet. Bronzed skin being the key to it’s appeal…
Start with damp hair. Apply Bumble’s Straight to damp hair to give it that extra wet look, then add gel for hold. Create a side part or brush your hair straight back. Then, using just your fingers, pull the hair back into a ponytail and twist into a chignon. Secure with bobby-pins.

I’m house-hunting again. Robert and I are trying to find a place for June 1 and I’m getting antsy. I’m hoping for a big backyard, a front porch, a cozy kitchen and lots of closet space. We’ll see what we end up with. Here are some (dream) spaces I’m loving…I’m trying to keep in mind I’ll be living with a boy. It should be interesting. All images via decor supersite Lonny.
