Music festivals are a great way to get away for the weekend with some friends and listen to some music. Here are a few tips to get you ready for the weekend.

1. Wear comfortable shoes

Let’s start with the basics. There’s no need to wear platform shoes because after about thirty minutes you’re going to be in pain, and no one wants to walk about a music festival barefoot. Boots are great to wear, because they’re fashionable and they’re super comfy.

2. Over accessorizing is not a thing

You can never have enough flash tattoos and flower headbands. Don’t be afraid to over accessorize because it looks great. It’s fun and unique.

3. Wear clothing you can dance in

The last thing you want to be wearing is a dress you can’t move in.  Wear a crop top and some shorts.  Also, what works great is a flowy top and some shorts.  If it gets too warm wear a bandeau under it and you’re set.

4.  Bring a sweater or sweatshirt

Being hot is one thing, grab a cold water bottle and you’re set.  But when you’re cold with nothing warm to wear, you’re a little stuck. Bring a little sweater or sweatshirt in case you get cold.

5. Avoid Heavy Makeup

You’re going to be dancing in the heavy sun, the last thing you want is your makeup to drip and get in in your eyes.  Keep it natural.  Also, if you’re camping, it’s a pain to get it off with no running water.

Graphic tees used to be something that only middle school skater boys thought were cool.  Now if you're someone who is obsessed with fashion you have to own at least a couple.

Forever 21

Because let's me be honest, nothing is better than having a happy ending like Cinderella.  Let's just skip out on the cleaning and the evil stepmother part.

Humans Are Gross

Olivia Rose

This is my favorite shirt out of all them and not just because I'm a complete sci fi nerd.  Most graphic tees are one color and just have words, but what I love about this one is it has a worn grey wash.

Let's hope this shirt is a little less than true, but this shirt is for the high fashion obsessed.

Kayne For President

My friend has this shirt and when I saw it, I thought it was amazing.  Just think about it, Kim K as first lady.

Urban Outfitters

I don't know why that this quote from a 90’s Will Smith movie randomly got popular, but I absolutely love it. 

Wake Me Up When I'm Famous

This shirt explains my life in so many ways.  Just waiting for Ryan Secrets to call about my reality show. 

Brunch

If you consider brunch more of a lifestyle than just a meal, rock this the next time you go out for mimosas and crepes. 

Urban Outfitters Controversy

Two years ago I created my instargam to create a place where people could get advice on fashion and ask questions.  I do not like how fashion is criticized and I feel that everyone should be able to wear what they want to without feeling unconfident because they are worried about what other people will think of their outfit choice.  That being said there is an exception  to everything.  I don't know if any of you shop at Urban Outfitter but lately their company has be under scrutiny can many people like my self have refused to shop there ever again.  In their last quarter their stock has fallen 10% and here's why I have stopped shopping there.

I don't know who creates the clothing for Urban but I think right about now they are moving to Siberia.  The first shirt has the words depression on it.  Depression is a serious issue that many people suffer from many being teenagers and young adults which is Urbans target audience.  The second shirt says eat less which from what I can get from it is promoting anorexia.  Anorexia is a painful decease that can lead someone to die or be hospitalized and I can't imagine that a grown person who probably went to college would even think of creating this shirt. 

Urbans latest controversy has been the bloody Kent State sweatshirt priced at $120.  Kent State was the site of a massacre in 1970.  The National Guard shot 14 students killing four because of protesting.  What is going on with Urban outfitters.  After clothing gets designed for a company it has to go through an approval process.  Which makes a person wonder where this controversial clothing choices made  to get media attention so their brand was not forgotten.
