MUMFORD & SONS

I’ve been to more concerts than I could ever tally up and so many of them hold a special place in my memory for one reason or another. my first ever concert was Clint Black and Reba McEntire with my folks when I was in 1st or 2nd grade living in Montana. I can barely remember this one but still hold on to the memory of my brother crying cause he thought Reba was going to sing so long that Clint wasn’t going to come out- good stuff! there are so many different experiences you can get from a concert-there’s the shows you sweat like crazy while dancing your bum off and then there’s shows you sit and listen while peacefully taking it all in with goosebumps from head to toe. last weeks Mumford & Sons was a little bit of both! Dustin and I tried to get there in time to ride the Ferris wheel but unfortunately ATL traffic prevented that from happening but we did get to play in the Centennial Olympic Park’s fountains, grab some beers and fish tacos and squeeze into a spot on the lawn grabbing a seat on our picnic blanket for the openers-Bear’s Den & The Vaccines.

since I had my 50mm lens it was difficult to get concert shots from where we stood but I did like this one [above] though it didn’t capture the neat lights they had strung over the crowd that looked like backyard/cafe style. such a nice evening for a concert downtown overlooking the city, holding hands with my babe.

FESTIVAL FASHION

FF_SK__
being that Shaky Knees music fest was rainy and very very muddy the conditions for fashionable attire were non-existent but a couple’a ladies (and a few gents) gave it their best. denim, parkas and hats could be seen on many and MOST were wearing boots of some kind. took the majority of these photos on the second day when the sun came out to say hello for a bit…but here’s a small recap of both days!

these ladies said to hell with it and went for fun + functional with a tribute to Cinco de Mayo

like I previously said, proud of everyone for putting music first and getting out in the cray weather!

the Silver Foxxx and I just bought tickets to Austin City Limits, can not wait for those 3 days but in between now and then there’s lots of fun to be had!

SHAKY KNEES MUSIC FEST

this weekend was Shaky Knees fest’s inaugural year and to say it was a wild ride is an understatement. I’d like to give everyone that stuck it out in the weather conditions an internet HIGH-FIVE! since mother nature showed very little mercy for attendees trying to watch and listen to good ole Southern folky bluesy tunes such as Dr. Dog, The Lumineers, Jim James, Band of Horses, Gary Clark Jr., Shovels and Rope and lots of other goodies! it was a rain or shine event that mostly RAINED. good thing my gal pal Mallory loaned me her rain boots because they were needed in the craziest possible way! 
because everyone was decked out in water proof gear (or just drunk enough to not care they were soaked…) I thought it’d be fun to capture some of the rain boots I spotted, here is a glimpse into days 1 and 2 of the Wet n’muddy n’soggy rainy festival:

how great are some of these boots!? some of them I can assure you were NOT waterproof… 
thanks to everyone who paused in the sludge for these pics!

since day 2 was a little more dry I snapped some festival fashion shots, will post next!

and so it begins, the start of FESTIVAL SEASON, can I get a yayyyyyyyy?!?!

though I didn’t make it to Coachella again this year I’m always stoked to scour the internet for my favorite festival outfits. I was waiting till both weekends were over to collect as many looks as possible but as it turns out the best outfits were from Weekend One and I actually had a hard time even finding photos from Weekend Two…

after narrowing them down to my faves, I can say this year, much like all the other Coachella weekends did NOT disappoint! thanks to all the StreetStyle photographers out there capturing what we non-attendees can’t see for ourselves!

per usual I’ve paired together similar looks/color pallets/accessories/etc that I noticed were “trending” among the fashionable ladies, for example flower crowns or matching two-pieced outfits.

personally when I attend a festival it’s all about comfort and dressing practically for the weather conditions, especially since I usually camp (not to be confused with GLAMPING!)  so heels and white bottoms wouldn’t be my go-to but I do appreciate the effort that goes into Coachella.

speaking of getting excited for music, Atlanta has many’a festivals coming up, one of which is this weekend-Shaky Knees Festival-that I’ve been given a press pass to shoot this Saturday! Band of Horses is headlining and I couldn’t be more excited to cover the event! going to try and capture a few festival fashion shots of concert-goers if that’s possible around here, hahha, not saying ATL doesn’t have style but it’s certainly no Coachella..   other festivals heading our way in the next couple weekends are Party in the Park (Passion Pit, Yeasayer, Elle Goulding) and Jazz Fest (FREE! Memorial Day weekend)

get excited party people, SUMMER + MUSIC is on the way!
