Vintage Loves by FP

My favorite thing about vintage is the fact that behind each piece there is a story. A leopard print coat could have belong to a 1920s flapper who raided speakeasies by night and kept up with the boys by day. So when Free People announced the release of their new collection "Vintage Loves", I was beyond excited. Personally, whenever I go thrift shopping I need a Starbucks in hand and a goal in mind otherwise I burn out fast. But with this collection, I know longer have to experience that. Vintage Loves conveniently picks out on of a kind pieces for you vintage lovers to purchase on their website. Is it the same as perusing through the racks of clothing at your local Goodwill? No. But I find each item to be so delicious, that I absolutely don't mind. Check it out, HERE!

Shopping Rehab was Made for Me

Recent Purchases: As promised I'm giving you guys a peak at some recent purchases. However, since I'm a MAJOR shopaholic, I have to update more pics for my most recent purchases today. I'm an addict, but as they say ignorance is bliss.

Currently Obsessed With: Free People's essentials, I love how they took one dress and updated in three cute ways for Fall!

Concerts.

Today I was supposed to go to Warped Tour with my friend N (if you haven't gone, GO it's amazing), but unfortunately she had to bail because her brother is doing some intense marathon in Oregon (boooo!). However, this lack of concert going inspired me to do a post on concert attire; because if you guys are like me you totally play part of a groupie the entire summer and run out of ideas on what to wear. So I thought I'd give you readers some pointers while simultaneously sending Mike Posner telepathic messages that he is in love with me!...I mean what?

Tops: Shirts that allow your body to breath are always the best because chances are in all of your band lovin glory you are bound to get a little sweaty! Gross i know, but true! The first top would be perfect for an outdoor indie concert and the second top would work best for a hiphop or pop concert.

Shorts: I love distressed light-wash shorts in the summer. Maybe it's the beach bum in me but I think these patchwork ones are perfect for an outdoor concert like Coachella or Warped. The black pair that actually looks like a skirt are shorts for you experimental few. I think they're fabulous in their own way and are very daring!

Bags: You want to be carrying the bare minimal and this bag ensures just that!

Headbands: Headbands are the perfect way to accessorize when going to a concert because unlike a necklace it won't hit you in the face every time you jump; and most importantly they keep your hair in tact!

Shoes: I love bright shoes for summer because they make a statement with any outfit, especially when you feel a little drab so I opted for these amazing turquoise and yellow ones. However these black ones with the bronze embellishments also make a statement if you're feeling more subtle. For you more classic girls I would reccommend black converse, they go with anything and you'll spare your toes!

Concert Guidlines:

1. If it flows, it goes! Do not wear a skirt or a dress to a concert. Unless it's a symphonic band where your sitting in your seat the entire time, there is a very likely chance that your dress or skirt will go up at one point. Do you really want to flash an audience?

2.Wear sneakers, boots, or shoes with straps. Preferably you wear close-toed shoes but I always wear sandals. They're just too cute!

3. No jeans! I promise you will be on FIRE when you are in the crowd.

4. Bring a sweatshirt. If you are there for a long period of time it will get dark and cold and you will wish you would have brought one in the first place. So save yourself the hassle of freezing your butt off!

5. Keep what you bring to the concert a minimal. Keys, ID, money. Check? DONE!

So what bands/singers are you guys seeing this summer?
