Here Is the Only Coachella Street Style Post You Need

Weekend one of Coachella 2016 is officially over, ya’ll, and we’re already feeling nostalgic over the sun, the music (and Kesha’s surprise performance!!), the food and, of course, the street style. We spotlighted some of the biggest Coachella style trends, but the outfits were so good, we put together a MAJOR list of all the best looks we spotted over the weekend. Hey, weekend two attendees, feel free to take notes!

1. Flower Crown + Floral Print: Big, bold flowers were the theme of Coachella — and we’re loving that big smile too.

2. DIY Getup: These creative attendees DIYed their festival looks, and that’s a darn good way to make sure no one else is wearing what you’re wearing.

3. Lace-Up Style: We saw everything from lace-up gladiator sandals to lace-up bodysuits.

4. All About the Midriff: Crop tops are still in (if Coachella has a say in it), so this summer, don’t be afraid to bare that midriff!

5. Crochet, Crochet, Crochet: One of the biggest trends of Coachella 2016 without a doubt was crochet. Get stitchin’!

6. Silk-Printed Kimono: Colorful silk kimonos weren’t just great for making a statement — they also make for great UV coverage.

7. All-Black Everything: As these ladies evidenced, while colors and bright whites definitely ruled the festival, all-black is still very chic.

8. Structured Two-Piece: Two-pieces might be the easiest outfit choice to make in the morning, like, ever. But they’re also perfect for Coachella!

9. The ’70s Are Back: These three stylish ladies were definitely throwing back to the funky ’70s with graphic, bellbottom jumpsuits, lots of tie-dye and circle sunglasses à la John Lennon.

10. Embroidery + Cowboy Boots: The footwear of choice were cowboy boots this year (because, yes, Coachella can get real dusty). We’re loving the white boots paired with this adorable embroidered denim dress.

11. Mellow Yellow: In case you haven’t heard, prairie chic is the new boho, and this Coachella-goer definitely nailed the look. Plus, her baby pink hair is on point.

12. Baseball Caps: These stylish ladies are the founders and designers behind LA brand Delikate Rayne — and they’re walking proof that all-black is so hot right now. Aside from that though, their baseball caps really finished off their looks. Plus, a hat is kind of necessary in the Indio sun.

13. Office to Festival Attire: This look can easily transition from work to party. Honestly, you could wear this outfit just about anywhere.

14. Off-the-Shoulder Top + Combat Boots: This contrast of flirty and industrial is the perfect combo for festival fashion. We caught this stylish attendee at the Vestal Village party on day one.

15. Hot Pink Bodysuit + Choker: This bodysuit kinda says it all. Bodysuits were absolutely everywhere this weekend, but this one really got our attention!

16. Floral Tube Top: Try not to fall in love with this girl’s gorgeous floral tube top. We also love that she paired it with a silver bib necklace.

17. Golden Mesh Bodysuit: This attention-grabbing getup definitely gets a gold star (hehe, pun intended). The fact she chose to keep her makeup natural really makes the outfit stand out.

18. Wraparound Flower Skirt + Plain White Tee: With a skirt as colorful as that, sometimes a plain white tee is the best complement. We love how this lady decided to knot hers up to show off that dangling necklace underneath.

19. Butter Yellow Bathing Suit: It can get so hot in the desert, all you want to do is lounge in a bikini. This all-yellow high waisted number styled by the founder of Kovey Swimwear and a matching thrifted coverup was so perfect for the weather.

20. Turquoise Necklace + Shift Dress: Sure, Coachella is all about showing off your loudest looks, but simple can make a real impact too, like this knitted shift dress and stunning turquoise necklace.

21. THIS Dress: This boldly printed maxi with the tie waist and low-V neckline was definitely a eye catcher. Pair your graphic maxi with a simple crossover body bag, as this Revolve Desert House party reveler did.

22. Nude + Red Color Blocking: Surprise everyone by color blocking with nude. The socks and sandals look really took this outfit from zero to 100. Oh, and that popsicle of course.

23. Watercolor Two-Piece: This beautiful watercolor two-piece was so, so pretty at the Revolve House party. The delicate star accessory on her cheek really finished off the look.

24. Knitted Bodysuit + Bellbottoms: YAAAS to everything about this retro look: the platforms, the body suit, the blue jean bellbottoms and the BIG hoop earrings. Stylish.

25. Fringe on Fringe: Another trend that just won’t go away is fringe. This yerba mate experiential cebador (that’s someone who prepares and serves the drink) showed off her awesome fringe-tastic swimsuit top and fanny pack.

26. Country Western Chic: This look is just a little bit of cowboy with the hat, the belt, the suede jacket and even the denim shorts. YES to all the above.

27. Overalls + a Big Hat: When the sun is as hot as it is in Indio, CA, what you really need is a big, floppy hat. This Revolve partygoer also sported some extra trendy short overalls.

28. Mesh Top + Printed Dress: The mesh top in this outfit adds some edge without adding much of a layer — which is a good thing when it’s about 100 degrees outside.

29. Daisy Love: Daisies are hands down the most summery flower, which is why, as a style choice, the flower was all over the place. This two-piece was made even better with the addition of the silk flowers!

30. Paisley Top + Sneakers: When it’s as dusty as heck and you average several miles of trekking per day, sneakers can be a lifesaver. These uber cool high tops and pretty flower crown are so, so good.

31. Statement-Making Pants: This Revolve party staffer’s pants could be spotted from half a mile away (all she revealed was she got them at a boutique in Palm Springs). She kept her top simple with a plain black tank and let the pants do all the talking.

32. Band Tee + Jeans: At the end of the day, Coachella is all about the music, amirite? Therefore, this TV producer’s band shirt which paid homage to the late and great David Bowie was absolutely on point. We love the acid wash and distressed look too.

This edible crescent-roll cornucopia is our way of making a normal cheese boardmore festive — and definitely more fun — during the holiday season. Our go-to this time of year is a massive cheese plate that can stand alone and be the main attraction, or the starter for a larger meal. Press on for the surprisingly easy steps to braid a breaded cornucopia.

Chris Andre

Materials + Tools:

  • 1 roll of tin foil
  • 2 packages of crescent rolls
  • 1 egg (for egg wash before cornucopia goes into the oven), optional

Chris Andre

Instructions:

Start by sculpting tin foil into the shape of a cornucopia (it looks like a cone with an upturned tail). Pro tip: Lightly pack tin foil so it's easier to remove later from your baked cornucopia. Crescent rolls should be buttery enough that this shouldn't be difficult.

Chris Andre

Your tin foil mold should look a little something like this.

Chris Andre

Pop open the crescent rolls and cut the triangles into strips. Pinch together the ends of strips to make strips longer.

Chris Andre

Braid crescent roll strips. You can make these as fancy as you want. Not a braiding pro? Skip this step and leave those strips alone.

Chris Andre

Wrap tin foil cornucopia with braids/strips. Make sure you cover all the tin foil. Leave a little wiggle room at the opening of the cornucopia, so that when you’re done baking you can pull some of that tin foil out.

Chris Andre

Use any extra dough to cover the bottom of your cornucopia. Pinch the sides and anchor those braids/strips in.

Chris Andre

Brush on egg wash before placing your cornucopia in the oven. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes. Take out of oven and cover spots of cornucopia that are already golden brown with extra tin foil. Bake for another 20 minutes at 250 degrees Fahrenheit.

Chris Andre

Let it cool down until it’s easy to handle. Remove tin foil.

Chris Andre

Place cornucopia in corner of your cheese plate. Arrange cheese on your serving tray.

Chris Andre

Add crackers — we like to have two or three options.

Chris Andre

Don’t forget to fill up your cornucopia. It's called "the horn of plenty" for a reason. Fill with fresh fruit like grapes, apples, and pears.

Chris Andre

Add nuts like walnuts and pistachios to fill in any empty spaces. Garnish with fresh herbs like rosemary and sage to finish it off.

Chris Andre

Voilà! Invite over your friends, open a bottle of wine, and dig in!

Chris Andre

A cornucopia cheese board will become your new favorite holiday tradition.

Though Black Friday is traditionally the official start of the holiday shopping season, we argue that it’s been kicking since mid-October. We know, we know: it still feels extremely early to start thinking about the holidays, but they’ll be here before you know it! Plus, many brands and retailers are already promoting their holiday goodies with plenty of sales and discounts available right now.

If you’re ready to embark on your holiday shopping journey, but still need answers to questions like ‘when’s the best time to shop?’ and ‘where should I shop for gifts?’ and even ‘how the heck do I save money this season?’, you’ve come to the right place. Consider this your go-to guide for holiday shopping in 2024.

Scroll on for our best guidance on navigating this busy time of year and finding the best gifts possible!

When's the best time to do holiday shopping?

Kaboompics / PEXELS

The best time to do holiday shopping really all depends on your personal shopping goals. Do you want to get a jump on items you know will sell out soon? Do you want to save the most money possible? Do you want to focus on handmade, personalized gifts? These factors will undoubtedly influence your holiday shopping schedule.

Cottonbro Studio / PEXELS

Shopping early can be advantageous for all of the aforementioned goals. A lot of retailers start promoting their holiday products early on, giving you ample time to snatch up that limited-time lip kit or fancy water bottle you’ve been eyeing way before the holidays.

Plus, some of the best deals for holiday shopping happen ahead of Black Friday and Cyber Monday – in 2023, Experian observed a surge in early spending in October, thanks to early discounts, a trend likely to continue in 2024.

Finally, shopping early can be especially helpful if your plan is to focus on handmade or personalized gifts, giving the artisan you buy from (or yourself, if you’re DIY-ing your gifts) plenty of time to craft the item with love and care.

Gallup reported in 2023 that one in four shoppers start shopping as early as September, a trend likely to continue in 2024 – so you might already be embarking on your shopping spree!

Mikhail Nilov / PEXELS

If right now is just still too darn early for you to start holiday shopping, Black Friday and Cyber Monday are some of the best times to shop since so many retailers offer their largest discounts of the entire year. Plus, the late November-early December timeline can feel a bit more appropriate for the gifting season opposed to late October-early November, when everyone’s still recovering from Halloween.

The only thing to consider during this time is the shipping timelines for the items you purchase – but most retailers will typically advise their specific shipping schedules, so you don’t risk your goodies arriving late.

Where should I shop for gifts?

Ron Lach / PEXELS

You have three main options when it comes to where to shop for holiday gifts: online, in-store, and via our amazing gift guides. Of course, each method has its advantages and disadvantages.

Shopping in-store offers a tangible experience: the opportunity to hold specific items in your hands and gauge exactly what they’ll be like when you give them as a gift. The pitfall with shopping in-person is that it typically requires a commute and journeys through potentially very busy malls and shopping strips, which can add to the already-stressful holiday experience.

In-store shopping can be more physically exhausting, but it’s all about preference! Sometimes strolling through the stores that get all dolled up for Christmas is the best part of the season.

Andrea Piacquadio / PEXELS

Per Google, 65% of those planning to shop for the holidays say they will shop online more. Shopping for gifts online can be super helpful since you can centralize your findings in your browser’s bookmark tab or via virtual cart(s). Plus, shopping online can pose more opportunities for saving some money: lots of retailers typically offer discount codes for online users, especially if you sign up for their digital marketing channels (like email and text) and make a purchase.

Shopping online isn’t just shopping, either. The internet can be a stellar research tool to help you vet whether certain products are worth it, where they can be bought, and when they’ll be available. In fact, Google reported that more than half of U.S. holiday shoppers who went into a store last year say they looked up product reviews online and/or located an item in-store by checking it online.

Kaboompics / PEXELS

Last but not least, scrolling gift guides has to be our favorite place to shop for gifts – and not just because we write and publish them.

At their very core, gift guides help streamline the holiday shopping process, alleviating the stress that bubbles up when you’re wondering what the heck to shop for in the first place. Our gift guides are backed by real people, real experiences, and real opinions from our editorial team. We only promote products that we really love and believe in, oftentimes ones we’ve tested and reviewed ourselves.

We have gift guides for just about everyone on your list, with more on the way! Check ‘em out:

What are the best kinds of gifts to give?

Kaboompics / PEXELS

The best kinds of gifts to give are thoughtful gifts that consider the giftee’s interests, wants, and needs. These gifts can be sentimental, practical, or both simultaneously. What matters most in a gift is that it’ll be meaningful to them past just the holiday season, whether it’s helping them get through daily tasks, reminding them of a memorable trip or event, or giving them small doses of joy.

“Shoppers are increasingly looking for personalized and unique gifts that reflect the recipient's personality and interests,” says Mia Anderson, Owner of ChicSew. “With the rise of online shopping, many consumers are opting for curated gift boxes or experiences that add a special touch.”

Cottonbro Studio / PEXELS

Gift boxes, personalized items, books of interest, self-care goodies, and even gift cards can all be thoughtful gifts depending on the recipient. If you have no clue what your giftee is into, it’s not a bad idea to ask them what they want the most!

“My idea of a great gift is something that is in tandem with the recipient's interest and offers something new to the person, be it learning a new skill, enjoying a calming activity, or simply spending quality time with the family,” says Alfred Christ, Sales Manager & Marketer at Robotime. “This season, we encourage shoppers to shift their focus on quality and the memories their gifts will create and not just merely material aspects.”

When is Black Friday?

Sora Shimazaki / PEXELS

Black Friday is always the Friday after Thanksgiving. This year, Black Friday lands on November 29.

When is Cyber Monday?

Kindel Media / PEXELS

Cyber Monday is typcally the Monday after Thanksgiving. This year, Cyber Monday will land on December 2. Oftentimes, retailers and brands extend their online offers through the week (coined Cyber Week) after the event. Salesforce reported that 67% of shoppers in 2024 plan on shopping during Cyber Week!

The holidays at Starbucks are creeping up on us, people! Peppermint Mocha season will return on November 7. If you’re a die-hard Starbucks fan, you know Red Cup Day is a whole holiday in itself – the frenzy for a free reusable cup is truly no joke. There’s even an entire website dedicated to counting down the madness! Even though there’s no official word on when Red Cup Day 2024 will be, there are several clues that cue us into the annual event. Scroll on for details!

What is Red Cup Day?

Starbucks

Red Cup Day is Starbucks’ highly-awaited annual event that marks the start of holiday beverage season at the coffee chain. For one day only (and while supplies last), customers who order any of Starbucks’ holiday drinks will receive a reusable red cup that features a bespoke design for the respective year.

Starbucks

Here’s a list of all the drinks rumored to be available on the Starbucks holiday menu starting November 7:

  • Peppermint Mocha
  • Peppermint White Chocolate Mocha
  • Caramel Brûlée Latte
  • Sugar Cookie Almondmilk Latte
  • Chestnut Praline Latte
  • Salted Pecan Crunch Cold Brew
  • Iced Gingerbread Oatmilk Chai

What do the red cups look like for 2024?

Starbucks

Starbucks hasn’t officially announced when Red Cup Day will be for 2024, let alone what the famed red cups will look like this go-around. The one obvious point is that the cups will be red! They’ll also likely feature some festive motifs that echo the holiday season. Last year’s red cups boasted playful white and green stars and ornament-like shapes.

Why should I participate in Red Cup Day?

Starbucks

Red Cup Day = freebies, which can feel really rewarding if you’re really into receiving free goodies. Plus, it’s just a fun way to lean into the holiday spirit. The red reusable cup keeps giving beyond Red Cup Day, though! Every time you use the reusable cup for future Starbucks orders, you get a 10-cent discount as well as 25 bonus stars toward your Starbucks Rewards account to save up for more discounts on drinks, food, and merchandise.

When is Starbucks' Red Cup Day 2024?

Starbucks

Again, Starbucks hasn’t alerted us on when Red Cup Day will be for 2024, but based on previous Red Cup Days, we can infer it’ll land on the third Thursday of November. In 2022, Red Cup Day happened on November 17, and for 2023, it was November 16. The third Thursday of November in 2024 hits on November 21, so mark your calendars, everyone!

Additionally, check back here for official info as Red Cup Day approaches.
