ASOS Meets (The Drums and CSS!)





ASOS the well known etailer has paired up with the coolest musicians around for a series of videos 'ASOS Meets.' Where we get to find what inspires them, what their style is and who are their favourite bands. 

CSS feel clothing should make you feel empowered - especially on stage. Adriano Cintra always found himself wanting to stay in his school uniform all day, his style icon was David Bowie go figure, hes not alone only I used listen to Bowie whilst wearing my uniform, usually in Math class. Luísa Hanae Matsushita aka Lovefoxxx,  loves her make up, it's fun. Lovefoxxx also wants to be naked on stage most of the time. CSS are playing at Manchester Academy in August, I've wanted to seen them for so long!

Ahh the Drums! Johnny is so cute. 'Denim? I wear denim everyday...' As a band the Drums feel it matters what they wear, which is anything pattened in a polo's buttoned to the top style in mustard or beetroot tones paired with dusty jeans. What they wear affects the story of their music, it has to fit. Clothing and music are very important partners.

The Drums music and style are influenced from bands such as the Ramones and the beloved Smiths.

And get this, ASOS are offering 20% off denim when you enter the code: DRUMSDENIM

I feel like getting these myself. Link here!

I love how the ASOS videos have the handheld recording effect set in the crackling Nevada Desert home to Coachella (only the coolest festival in the world!)

Now listen to some of my favourite songs from these musicians, look for jeans and happy shopping!

P.s check out ASOS, their online magazine, July issue with Zoe Kravitz (who has to have the coolest rockstar dad on the planet) on the cover, theres also a cute video to watch of the shoot too!  

I really love how street fashion is going through a oh so sixties transitional stage and that music is a main influence where anything goes at a festival, shopping vintage is a hobby and clashing prints is an art form.

Coachella, how I long





Here are the very best of Coachella's festival styles to inspire and translate into our own festival wardrobes. If I had my way, I would dress like this everyday. But unfortunately I can't. It rains an awful lot and when it snows, it snows. We're thankful when it's sunny in the UK, like now, which is when we avoid the sun tan lotion in order to burn, I mean tan, and slap on the clubmasters.

Did anyone else manage to catch the Coachella live stream on youtube? I watched two of my favourite bands, The Drums and Two Door Cinema Club! I missed Duran Duran and Cut Copy though, gutted.

 I would like to go to Coachella one day - who wouldn't!

Whitney Port



A knot can really add texture to an outfit, or in Whitney's case a simple layered vest. I adore the pink, floral shorts as I have a similar pair I bought from Tesco, I know, for Leeds festival last year. I wore them all the time!



Whitney Port

Whitney definitely has festival wear nailed, I suppose it helps when you're from sunny LA. The whole Coachella boot as the main footwear is something I would love to try out this year, but I think I might just stick to my Hunters, you know, just in case. White is such a good summer staple it really connotes a boho feel. Whitney's also channeling the monochrome trend by pairing the white lace with black boots. She has the cutest sunglasses and 90's hair you ever did see. So happy I bought a gold chain for my reading glasses now!

Rhianna

Rhianna is wearing a cameo jacket at the night to shield her from the evening festival breezes. The black vest and stone wash denim works well with such a strong pattern.

Vanessa Hudgens

I'm loving Vanessa's rebellious streak as it's got to be hard attending the festival she usually goes too with her now ex - but still very hot - boyfriend, Zac Efron. Shes got a carefree, barefoot vibe going on with cute threading denim shorts and a tribal inspired embroidered vest. Theres fringing on the bag and a stiff cocktail in hand, I would have too.

Jamie Chung

Huzzah another boot look! (Note: the uber comfy floral shorts) Move aside wayfarer is all about the clubmasters! Whats a festival without a straw hat? If only my hair looked like that 2 days in.

Ke$ha

The third military boot look of this blog, I need to invest in a pair. I'm feeling an underground market pair so it doesn't matter once they're worn in. I'm seeing so much American patriotism on shorts and shirts, I think I will stick with our Union Jack flag in honour of Wills & Kate this season.
