All the hip style-setters descended on Palm Springs for the 2012 Coachella Music Festival this weekend. Amongst the A list listening to Indie bands, hanging by the hotel pool, soaking up the desert sun where the likes of Rihanna made their fashion statements.

All styles were spotted from Boho to hip hop. Hippie dresses teamed with black lace-up boots to the denim on denim trend teamed with baseball cap and wedge style sneakers. Emma Watson and Kate Bosworth showed a wild side by wearing  tigerprints. Emma Watson chose a cute dress, while Kate Bosworth went for a tigerprint top teamed with shorts.

Shorts were by far the most popular choice., with them showing up in the form of denim cut offs to cool printed styles  teamed with great boots. Also popular was plenty of  boho fringing. The supermodels reigned when it came to festival style though. Their long lean shape and festival chic  added that extra cool factor.

Budget suggestion, is to go for Quality Not Quantity

Experts believe it is better to buy the best you can afford and wear it for years and years, until it literally falls apart, than to buy a load of really cheap clothes that won’t last a week. When on a budget, think quality, not quantity. For a little extra money, good fabrics will last a lifetime, and won’t lose their shape and colour like cheaper alternatives quickly do. Spending just a little more really will result in being more cost-effective in the long run.
