How to Pack for Lollapalooza 2013

Posted on July 25, 2013October 13, 2013 by admin

It’s that time of the year again. Countless troops of young Indies, Bohems and other music lovers, clad in hair chalk, flower hairbands and cameras, set upon Chicago to hear their favorite bands at the annual music festival, Lollapalooza. Number one rule for any music fest is not to overpack. Electric Frenchie breaks down what necessities to throw into your bag to ensure a great time and no worries.

The nights can get cold and windy in Chicago so be sure to bring along a coverup and different kinds of shoes. A swimsuit for the scorching days and a bevy of beauty products will all fit in your Stela 9 weekender!

Packing for the Entire Trip

For daily use, keep it light, with a small to mid-size backpack. Make sure you have a hat, a backup phone charger, and don’t forget your cash before you get hit up for $10 atm fees! Long days in the sun are great but don’t forget your water (in between drinks) and suncare.

Packing for the Day

Last minute Coachella essentials

Posted on April 11, 2013October 13, 2013 by admin

It’s that time of the year for the seasons most glamorous music festival, Coachella. While you probably have had your outfits perfectly planned for weeks now, one must need to keep in mind that you are camping and things can get a bit too rustic. So here is a few essentials to save that pretty face of yours and keep you looking your best all weekend!

1. Personal water/air fan – this is hot commodity and do not forget the batteries!

2. sun screen- duh, you’re in a desert.

3. lip balm- with suncreen, because your lips can get sunburned too!

4. Dry shampoo/conditioner- Works like magic! Oh and best part, no one can tell you have not washed your hair in 3 days.

5. Garnier detoxifying towelettes – You can use these to remove makeup, sweat, etc. Plus they smell great and you can also use them on the rest of your body.

6. Snacks- While the garlic fries and burgers are great, don’t forget to grab a few healthy snack options too. Your body will thank you.

7. Cheap (but Fashionable!)- Your designer sunglasses probably look great but I would suggest leaving them at home with cheaper (but Fashionable!) sunglasses it will be much easier to cut your losses if something happens to them.

8. Cute water bottle holder- Key to surviving Coachella is staying hydrated! This gives you a stylish and convient way to keep water on you all day.

9. Comfy warm sweater- it colds at night, don’t forget this! We suggest the Somedays Lovin’ leather bird cardi available here!

10. DC to AC power inverter – Or in easier terms, this inverter plugs into your car so you can plug in phone chargers, curlers, hair straighteners etc. Skip those long lines for the bathroom and do your hair in your car!
