#NoChella

#NoChella - AKA we weren’t THAAAT lucky to prance around in a field, drunk, wearing our favorite sunnies and call it the musical festival of the year. Coachella is more the fashion/pool party weekend of the year, if we’re honest. Sure, the lineup is amaze (Lorde, drool) but really more than half of So Cal’s finest attend Coachella to get their first tan of the year, drink beer by the pool and dawn their most recent boho chic finds. We sound a little bitter, but that’s because we’re not there. 

Instead of attending one of the most talked about festivals, we went and got freaky with nature, wearing our favorite Free People X Jeffrey Campbell booties, and trusted Levi Denim shorts. We can’t complain about how our Saturday turned out - not every one can drive 10 minutes and be in pure bliss. Surrounded by nature, seconds away from the beach and in pure silence, BLISS. 

If you want to pretend that you got down in Indio, too - you can. Boho chic is not JUST for Chella, rock that shit.

Song for this post:


You can't tell me you have never looked at a Free People ad and dreamt of looking the exact same way as the models on their site. I tried to put together my own little Free People outfit here using a variety of store's items. As you can tell, my style is all over the place. One day I try to go for the goth look and the next day I can be as girly as they get (besides the tattoos :)).

Get the look:

• Dress sold here on Forever21
• Sweater by Brandy Melville here
• Similar lace up boots sold here on Aldo
• Thigh highs sold here on Urban Outfitters
• Sunnies sold on Vintage Sunnys

Beauty and The Goth

Typically, we shoot for the blog separately. Sure, we work together, and spend most of our weekends together - but, when shooting for the blog our schedules never click, and we're left posing solo. 

So, today when we had the opportunity to shoot together, it was more than fun! I (Hillary) don't normally wear dresses (even in the summer.) But, when I received these ShoeMint booties, I knew that they needed to be paired with a flirty dress. And with the New Year New You mentality, it  motivated me to do a cleaning haul on my closet, this resulting in me finding this hidden gem that I hadn't worn in forever! 

Ali and I's style(s) are completely different, but that doesn't mean I don't sit at my desk all day at work and covet her latest wardrobe additions. Not only do I have closet-envy, but I have complexion-envy as well. I would die to be able to pull off a deep purple/red lip like she does! Ali killed it in her boho-goth-esque number today! Her maxi being from IntiMint.com and her dope kimono being vintage (die!) 

If you'd like to look effortlessly chic, you can grab similar styles here:
