Coachella Envy

Today is the first day of Coachella!  For those who don't know, Coachella is a music and arts festival that takes place in Indio, California every year around this time.  It's kinda like, Woodstock meets Warped Tour meets Electric Zoo, but with a lot more Free People style mashed in there.  This year it's taking place over the span of two weekends, from Friday-Sunday {this weekend and next}.  Guests camp out in the valley at night in between days for the whole weekend.

There's going to be over 100 artists performing at Coachella this year, but some that you've probably heard of include The Black Keys, Radiohead, Florence & The Machine, Avicii, & Calvin Harris, to name a few.  Other than the awesome music, another fun part about Coachella is the celebrities that attend.  Some of my favorites are always in attendance, like Lauren Conrad, Vanessa Hudgens, Lo Bosworth, and Whitney Port. It's also really fun to see what everyone's wearing.  It's not a fashion event, but I share similar style with the kind of people who go to Coachella, so it's fun to see pictures afterwards of what everyone wore.

Just wishing that I could be at Coachella right now.  It's going to be streaming live on YouTube the entire weekend, so we can all watch from home and be jealous that we're not actually there.  One day..

Woeful Monday

If only this were true!  Coming off of Spring Break is rough.  After a full week of hanging around it really is the worst to get back into a schedule of waking up to an alarm for school.  I just keep reminding myself that there's only six more weeks until summer vacation :)  Happy Monday!

Neon vs Pastel

This season it's all about color in the fashion world.  There's been an overload of hot pinks, corals, mint greens, and lavenders everywhere you look.  Which trend will prevail overall though..neon or pastel?  As for me, I don't have a particular preference.  It's fun to be on trend, but it's even more fun to mix them, so I've been dabbling between both color palettes. On my nails I really love to see a pretty pastel like peach or mint green, {try A Crewed Interest & Mint Candy Apple, both by Essie} but I even wore neon yellow black-light warpaint.  {Sick!}  While shopping though, there's been a lot of brights that have caught my eye, and I can't say that I've held back on buying neon colored clothes and accessories.

I'm curious what you see yourself wearing this Spring, more neon or more pastels?  Leave a comment and let me know!

Insta-Obsession

Anyone who hasn't been living under a rock this week knows that the Instagram app finally became available for Android!! I was floored when I found out this amazing news, as I have been wishing for this dream to come true for the longest time.  Obviously I downloaded it right away and needless to say, I am obsessed.  Now I am finally part of this trendy photo editing thing that everyone has been rubbing in my face for who knows how long.  Still no iPhone for me, but until I get my hands on one, I can fake it with my really awesome filtered mobile uploads.  A little ticked that my name was already taken so I had to settle for this one with a million extra letters and 3 little dashy things.  But follow me anyway! @Victoriaaa___

P.S. look at these adorable little Instagram themed cookies!  So cute!

Tuesday Travels (!!!)

I know, I know I've been slacking on my Tuesday Travels lately, but this post is about to totally make up for lost time!  This Tuesday was a little different, because I'm on Spring Break!  But of course, being home from school did not stop me from gallivanting around the city.  

Remember here when I talked about Lauren Conrad's "L.A. Candy" and the new series 'The Fame Game' coming out?  Well yesterday was the kick off of Lauren's book tour, and of course I had to go see her!

Me and Lindsey trekked to Union Square where we listened in on Lauren's discussion about the new book with her editor, Farrin Jacobs, and a Q&A session with the audience.  Then the best part, Lauren got to meet all her fans and sign copies of the new book!  Her people were really protective over her though and wouldn't let us get anywhere near with a camera.  But of course, I creeped my hardest and zoomed x15 from my seat :)  

It really is so surreal to meet celebrities.  I've met a handful, and I always get giddy every time!  I've been watching LC on Laguna Beach and The Hills for the longest time, and getting to meet her was so fun.  If you see how beautiful she is on TV, trust me when I say she's absolutely adorable in person!

Finally it was my turn to meet her and get my book signed.  I even got to have a quick little chat with Miss Lauren herself!  I snapped a picture of her looking JUST like Miley Cyrus, and she was just as awkward in her response to me as I was when i told her!  Good to know that celebs are real people just like us :)

Monday Mantra: Open Your Mind

At the risk of sounding like a fortune cookie, here's my Monday Mantra for this week.

Be open to whatever comes next.  

In this crazy world, it's impossible to ever know what'll come our way. Don't be fearful of the future though, just keep an open mind and be ready to face whatever is thrown at you, good or bad.  You'll be surprised at how positivity can really change your outlook :)
