With
Coachella less than two weeks away you will be sure to see elaborate
hair accessories grace the locks of your favorite fashionistas. Here are
some easy pieces all for under $25 dollars. Happy Festival-ing.
For the next two weekends hoards of people will flock to Indio,
California for a sensory overload of music, fashion, and festivities at Coachella.
While they are sure to enjoy the sights and sounds of the festival,
shielding oneself from the blazing sun is important. With the cost of
tickets and accommodations, the last thing you want to do is spend
another
couple hundred of dollars on a pair of sunglasses.
(Let’s face it you’ll probably lose them at one of those swanky pool
parties anyway.) Here are 40 stylish options that $40 or less that will
have you looking fly from now throughout the summer.
1. Look after yourself as a whole. Making sure you have shiny white teeth
should be part of your beauty routine. I have more confidence when I
know i’m looking my best and it truly does reflect in my personality
when i’m shooting. I use Oral B 3D White White Strips regularly as part
of my normal oral upkeep, and then if I know i’m shooting I do a morning
and night ritual a few days in the lead up to make sure they’re as
white as they can be.
2. I don’t do this all the time, but my skin can look quite pale once photographed, so a tan helps to add back a little colour.
3. Wash your hair
the night before. The worst is when you have just washed your hair and
then try to shoot (it never does what you want it too) or if your hair
is oilier than preferred and then you have the same issue. 4. Paint your nails!
Its amazing what you can do with photoshop these days, but digitally
painting on nail polish isn’t fun! Make sure to paint both your fingers
and toes before you shoot.
What are your favorite trends from the Spring 2015 runway? Is it the
Grecian goddess look from Valentino or the ’70s rock chick à la Saint
Laurent? The price tags of these pieces can be prohibitive, but fear
not. Here are four top looks from the runway that you can easily achieve
at a fraction of the cost.
While the ladies have their denim cutoffs and floral crowns to wear this weekend at Coachella, the boys are all about sporting the right kicks. Leave your pearly white Stan Smiths and Common Projects
at home and opt for something a bit more fun and funky while rocking
out to AC/DC under the desert sun. Here are 11 awesome sneakers that
will carry you from day to night with style.

London,
land of free-thinking designers, has, not surprisingly, generated two
of today’s most exciting men’s wear talents. Craig Green, who attended
Central Saint Martins to focus on sculpture and painting but
“accidentally” fell into fashion, creates strange clothes that, in the
case of his spring 2015 collection—a study in purity, with samurai-style
robes shown on barefoot models—have moved audiences to tears. His fall
collection, which explores the idea of institutions and features
high-tech nylon trousers and cinched cotton T-shirts, is, he admits, his
most classical yet.

“I
suppose I’m more commercially conscious now,” says Green, 28, who sells
to Barneys New York and Dover Street Market. “But that hasn’t
diminished the focus on craft.” Craft is also at the heart of Wales
Bonner, a brand-new line designed by the English Jamaican Central Saint
Martins grad Grace Wales Bonner. Her opulent fall 2015 collection, which
includes pinstriped denim jackets, flares paired with ivory silk
cummerbunds, and crushed-velvet suits embroidered with crystals and
cowrie shells, is inspired by what the 24-year-old calls a “symphony” of
references, from the Harlem Renaissance photographer Carl Van Vechten
to the late radical poet Amiri Baraka to Coco Chanel. “Chanel
represents European elegance,” says Bonner, who has just been picked up
by Joyce in Hong Kong and Machine-A in London. “I wanted to take that
and disturb it a bit with African elements.”
Amal
Clooney is taking up residence in New York nicely. Teaching at Columbia
Law School for the spring semester, she's not only channeling the
sophisticated yet edgy sartorial sense of the Big Apple, but the elegant
prestige of being an Ivy League professor. Spotted in the West Village,
the multi-talented woman wore a seasonally appropriate Gucci getup. She
paired an orange tank with a python collar accent and a camel-colored
midi skirt. The look was finished with a black Balenciaga bag and LK
Bennett nude pumps. From Oscar de la Renta and Stella McCartney to Dior
and Dolce & Gabbana, Clooney (née Alamuddin) is always on point — in
fashion and beyond.

hadn't even sprung, yet Amal Clooney didn't care. Out to dinner in New
York with Sir Evans and Tina Brown, she wore a cream Stella McCartney
jumpsuit paired with bright yellow Versace heels.
