—Chelsey Burnside
On her five absolute festival necessities…
“Vitamins (5HTP and B12 for quick recovery and energy)
Water bottle (try S'well)
Your shoes 100% get dirty, so sneakers you don't mind destroying (Nikes, Converse, Keds).
A Mophie, so that you can actually find your friends
Killer sunglasses”
On all you really need for “festival showers”…
“Neem oil (Dr. Hauschka) or coconut oil for your hair is the secret to everything.”
On how not to go overboard with the whole hippie theme…
“Pace yourself. You don't need fringe and ironic body paint and a crochet top and cowboy boots all in one outfit. I recommend just picking one thing—like a Zara fringe bag (or Prada if you're going for it) and building from there. Baby steps. Not to be a cheeseball, but I think you should dress up for yourself! Seriously though: really getting lost in a set at a great festival is better than any selfie [or street style shot] you're ever going to take.”
On her go-to designers…
“Céline fur heels won't cut it, but Céline sunglasses definitely will. Rag & Bone shredded boyfriend shorts, Free People for crocheted and peasant anything, Arme de l'Amour layered jewelry, Reformation sexy slip dresses—nothing you're too worried about getting dirty in!
On her own festival highlights…
“Burning Man is insane in general: witnessing Robot Heart's mobile dance party flying across the dusty playa at sunrise surrounded by flames and neon lights was one of my more memorable festival moments. Queen B dancing backup for Solange this year at Coachella was pretty damn good, too.”
On her fantasy festival set, beauty product and look…
“Dev Hynes was staying at the StyleBop villa I called home during this Coachella and I was so impressed—I'm going to have to say Blood Orange at the moment for my one band. As for the rest: Neutrogena UltraSheer Dry-Touch Sunblock (SPF 80) and an Amour Vert jumpsuit.”
