Pitchfork Music Festival - Looking and Staying Cool

Pitchfork Music Festival is this weekend!! The lineup is weird and amazing, Bjork, Belle and Sebastian, R Kelly AND the Breeders playing the classic album Last Splash in it's entirety (taking me back to 1995!). I'll be on hand capturing the best looks for Elle.com and Très Awesome (of course). The weather is supposed to be STEAMY, so here are some great examples of how to look and stay cool over the weekend.

What better way to kick things off than with Shannon O'Brien, of the rad beauty blog Cheap Frills and Trhills. I love this photo for many reasons. First off, it's a document of our very first meeting exactly one year ago as she made her way to Pitchfork 2012. Secondly it's a living memorial  to her Barbie Dream Bike, since stolen by total jerks. Can't wait to see what you're rockin' this year mama.

Why not make things a little tropical with a D.I.Y palm tree hat.

I'm a obsessed with fake food (weird but true). So I'm obviously going to be totally over the moon about fake food you can wear. This little lady is doing it right...

Mel Muoio is giving the Solid Gold Dancers a run for their money here in this FABULOUS metallic ensemble. Also love those Karen Walkers.

Make your boyfriends logo t-shirt extremely fashionable and breezy by cutting it in half and rolling up the sleeves. Nice work mama. 

Love these shades, tooooo cute.
 
Last, but certainly not least, we have Erin Brennan of E-Drop Off looking cool as a cucumber in weather that was anything but.

See you at Union Park People!
