Fashionista Week in Review: Coachella Trends that Should Die, the Best YouTube Beauty Tutorials, and Angelina Jolie (and Her Right Leg) Are Getting Married!

by

Coachella Happened: Coachella kicked off last weekend (and wraps this weekend), and we promise to stop talking about it soon. From what the celebs wore, to what real people wore, to the trends we hope will fade faster than your tan we covered it all. It’s all in good fun – you know we love you! (But seriously, no more crochet.)

YouTube Makeup Gurus: We’ve all been there: we’ve spotted that perfect cat eye or been desperate to cover up that zit and wondered, “How can I do this?” Luckily, we live in the age of YouTube, where beauty gurus share their knowledge with just a click of a button. Here are 10 of the best tutorials.

Best Tressed Style Bloggers: Though these seven ladies are known better for their clothes than their locks, we think it’s all part of the same stylish parcel. We had to know how these bloggers style their enviable hair.

Finally, NYC’s Answer to Colette: Fashion fans dream of boutiques like Colette in Paris and Corso Como in Milan, so obviously we’re thrilled about FiveStory, NYC’s latest boutique that seeks to fill that niche. The best part? The brain behind the luxury boutique is 26-year old Claire Distenfeld–check out our interview with her.

Step Away From the Feathers: 10 Coachella Trends That Need To Die

by

Coachella is the music festival to end all music festivals, so we always watch to see what fashion trends are going to be big on the circuit. While this weekend brought out the best in some (Dree Hemingway in Dolce and Gabbana!), Buzzfeed’s list of Coachella fashion disasters reminded us of the worst. Is anyone else so sick of feather headdresses and denim cutoffs?

So without further ado, here are 10 festival fashion trends we here at Fashionista hope get left in the dust!

Mister Mort for Fashionista: Unconventional Street Style at Coachella

by Leah Chernikoff and Mordechai Rubinstein

Festival style can be pretty predictable: cut offs, a crocheted crop top, some wellies/leather boots/strappy sandals and there you have it, the festival uniform. Which is why we dispatched Mordechai Rubinstein, the man behind Mister Mort, to photograph street style at Coachella this past weekend. His eye tends to focus on things that are a bit unexpected, a bit more gritty, sometimes even a bit funny, and we like that. He also primarily shoots men’s street style, and it’s nice to see how the boys are showing up, too.

Take a look at Coachella through the eyes of Mister Mort, his own captions included.

Life with The Coveteur: We’re big fans of The Coveteur, so obviously it was a big score to follow their team through the closets of Susie Bubble, Erdem, and J.W. Anderson. Learn how they edit the most major wardrobes.

Fashion Statement or Overexposure?: Certain starlets have taken to showing their goods on the red carpet lately and we are just wondering: is this a new way to express yourself, or is it just good old fashioned attention seeking? Clutching our pearls..

Enough With the Cutoffs! Cute Alternative Looks to Wear to Coachella: Unless you live under a rock, you know that Coachella happened this weekend, and we couldn’t let you go in another pair of cutoffs! We put together 5 chic looks for the music festival, and if you weren’t lucky enough to go (like us) we think they’ll work just as well for your other summer events.

10 Plagues of Fashion: And we aren’t talking about Ugg boots! We had a little fun pairing the ten plagues of Passover with some fashion imagery.

H&M Goes Glam for a Good Cause: H&M launched a line of sustainable red carpet ready dresses, and they look pretty awesome. Some of the looks have already hit the red carpet on celebs like Viola Davis and Michelle Williams, so check out the lookbook if you’ve got a special event coming up.
