FESTIVAL FASHION: LOLLAPALOOZA

per usual when a major music festival goes down I scoured the internet for good quality photographs of ladies who attended in stylish festival fashions. this go-around with Lollapalooza I only saved photos from ELLE magazine as I thought they had the best selection. having seen the same ladies on other sites I can say ELLE captured the best poses for sure. being a street style photographer myself, I thought this group was the most well rounded with some high fashion and lower key outfits (which I usually go with at music fests!). sure, it’s fun looking at celebrities and other rich folks sporting high end pieces, but what I really like to see is how the everyday-lady wears pieces from her wardrobe.


from the streets and festival grounds of Grant Park in Chicago, here are my favorites from Lollapalooza’s street fashion:

happy almost weekend,

the girl in the bikini

Style:
Free People’s upcoming April “Dolce Vita” catalog will feature 3 photographers capturing 3 different story lines. of the three, my favorite is the “Girl in the Bikini” which is inspired by fashion icon Bridget Bardot. 

“The editorial showcases her 70’s boho vibe and 50’s/60’s sex kitten look as seen through the style of modern day Free People and lensed by Guy Aroch. This portion features the brand’s key swim pieces paired back to casual, effortless layering items.”
Style: "Penutbutter and Blueberries" Style: "Cooper" Style: "B+W Dull" The Girl in the Bikini_Free People_Ieva Leguna (3)
there are many reasons why this is my favorite but truth be told it probably has a lot to do with my Hawaii vacation getting closer and CLOSER! the other two story lines are really great as well but you’ll just have to wait and see for yourself! as always I’m looking forward to the issue landing as one of my fave little things in life is when the Anthro + UO + FP catalogs are waiting for me in the mailbox….true story!
hope you enjoyed the sneak peak!
happy FRIDAY!

lastly
what i really like most about this collection is the touches of masculinity while still keeping it girly. i’m serious when i say i’m studying this lookbook..its damn near perfection for Fall/Winter. imagining my own wardrobe i’m thinking i have pieces that could come together to form some of these looks. though i hate cold weather i’m pretty excited about layering, especially short sweaters over longer shirts, billowy tops over skirts/dresses and button downs under EVERYTHING.
hope everyone had a safe and fun Halloween, as i had dressed up numerous times over October i opted to stay in and make chicken-n-dumplins. it was the smartest decision i’ve made in a while :)
