Hardly, Strictly Bluegrass: must-have style

Every year in the midst of Golden Gate Park in the Speedway Meadow, all the Banjo-picking ,desert treadin', country rats kick off their boots and come western bound  to play their music into the smooth San Francisco night sky.

On Friday September 30th, Saturday October 1st and Sunday October 2nd,  the Munis, Bart stations and streets will be filled with modern day hippies dressed to the nine, ready to dance and sway to just plain good old tunes at this completely FREE music festival, Hardly,Strictly Bluegrass.


Some of the  Greenhorns that you won't want to miss :  on the Banjo stage : Robert Plant & the band of joy, Arrow Stage: Hot ButteredRum, Dark Star Orchestra, Rooster Stage: M. Ward, Bright Eyes, Star Stage: South Memphis String Band, Kris Kristofferson & Merle Haggard,  DeVotchKa and Elbow, Towers of Gold Stage: actor Hugh Laurie, Broken Social Scene, Gomez, and the Porch Stage: Wendy Bird, Dive Bar Dukes and Bill Orcutt.
Just to name a few, but there are so many amazing musicians playing throughout the three days that you'll want to make it out to GGP insantly!

And to get y'all Tenderfoots ready for this event here's some  essential go-to  must's for your festival looks :




And don't forget a pretty bunch of flowers for your hair!


A pack of American Spirits,
More Whiskey,
More Bluegrass,
and the sun hitting your face.

Go West Young Man, Go West.

These Boots are made for walkin'

And that's just what they'll do... and did, at the Spring 2012  Dsquared2 Womenswear show in Milan.

The Caten Brothers brought true " American Teen Spirit" in this show with grudgy, bohemian, concert-goin' looks packed full of youth in Boots.


Each model had smuged, black dark eyelids with none other than a cracked open Heineken. The vibe of the show was very music festival shot.
Every model looked like she was  out at Coachella or Lollapolooza and even a modern day Woodstock goer,  and the show was complete with high voltage music that blasted as each model made that turn onto the catwalk. U2, Lady Gaga and Coldplay were some of the music played.










All I can say is, I want t be at this concert everyday!

" The clothes don't make the man, it's the Man that makes the clothes."

What ingredients make you, you?
Personal style is an endless blue yonder of what makes a person feel good in their own skin and taking a step out of their closet and showing the world what makes them turn.

Some of my style icons have a particular look about them that stays on the tastebuds for quite a while, in the sweetest way.

Zooey Deschanel




Florence Welch


Theophilus London


Bethany Cosentino


My all time favorite leading lady in personal style, Gwen Stefani





These people just put themselves into everything they wear, the inspiration stems from the subconscious.
No matter what kind of goodies you find at a clothing store, all that really matters is how it makes you feel each time you slip it on.

So there is no definition of Personal style, whether you are quirky and vintage sheek to bohemian hippie or from hipster new wave to glamourous feminine, it all is under the giant umbrella of style that you have control of.


" Girl, you got style."

Before the infamous shower slash scene, early 60's fashion like knee length skirts, short sleeved button-ups, peacoats, heels and fresh makeup to compliment daringly shiny diamond jewelry.

It's a glorious WASTELAND



Hands down the best place to find Vintage, one-of-a-kind Desert roamin' clothing.

Wasteland embraces so much into their store and also their blog, W45T3L4ND.

They bring light to unknown and somewhat forgotten sources that highlight individual fashion in not just famous designers but everyday people walking down the street and pop culture from characters in a film to what the music artists are wearing to their show at the Casbah.

Tracking trends and starting them every which way they can, especially from the heart of the store itself with their hard working employees.

The blog features the " Red Wall Diaries" which illustrates  street style on the sunny blocks of Melrose in front of the main store in L.A.
Every other day, employees are commended for their courageous fashion and unique tastes. Everyone is different and all lookin' good.

The movie brings us to New York, New York in the thriving 1980's where a sudden head accident leads a housewife to a fast-paced free spirited life when getting mistaken for Susan,  a.k.a Madonna.
