Festival fashion is like the hipster of the fashion world - so predictable, so ironic and yet, so undeniably sweet that I can't help but love it anyway. Blame it on the feathers, fringe or fedoras (or all of the above), but I look at pics of girls heading to Coachella this weekend and can't help but be jealous. I mean, if I were young(er) and single(r) (I love you if you're reading this, cute husband), unencumbered by the daily grind of jobs and kids (love them, too) and responsibilities, I'd sobe heading to Coachella this weekend. In fact, I'd be going to all of the music festivals this summer, not so much for the music (though I'd pretend that was my reason), but to look as cute as the American Eagle girls. Seriously, look at the picture above. Think they have anywhere to be? Any deadlines? No. Their only goals that day are to spin circles in the dirt, let their floral kimonos catch the sunlight and show off their perfect accessories on Instagram. Vain? Totally. Fun? So fun. 

I've handpicked the 15 festival finds you need right now to score some of that Coachella coolness, whether you've already planned your spring/summer concert season or not. Read on for my top picks from American Eagle and don't miss our giveaway at the bottom of the post. I don't have any concert tix to give away but I can certainly help get you dressed for whatever fun concerts come your way.

Happy FriYAY!

There is nothing better than really good music. But I can never get over how what turns us on, musically I mean, is so different for each of us. While one of my best friends gets the chills from country crooners, the lyrics just make me laugh. As for me, well, let's just say I'm eclectic. My dad worked at a classic rock and oldies station, so I know every lyric to everything from The Beatles to Abba. Meanwhile, my mom was a classical guru so at home, it was Mozart and Saint Saens all the way. In highschool my friends and I listened to Snoop and anything Top 40 but in University, my roommate was obsessed with Soundgarden and Nine Inch Nails. Imagine getting blasted out of bed by that at 8 am every day. Um, good morning? Right now I'm on a full-on Brit kick, with Rita Ora, Emili Sandé and Ben Howard on constant rotation. And while I don't 'get' country, I'll never say never b/c I can't argue that Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood do put out some pretty wicked tunes. I'm not going to link them out of principle...
