Coachella is almost here and hopefully, by now you\u2019ve got your wristband, accommodations, and a ride ready to go! What else are you taking with you? You\u2019ll be in the desert for at least three days and you\u2019ll want to make sure you\u2019re well prepared. Here\u2019s The LA Girl’s Ultimate Coachella Packing List<\/strong> to make sure you bring everything you absolutely need and more.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Coachella<\/p>\n

Fashion<\/h2>\n

One thing we know about Coachella, it literally turns into a festival season runway. This year, we’re expecting a return to desert cowboy with some pop princess and coquette vibes too. Make sure to pack loads of accessories to transform your outfits and make your personality really pop off. Here’s our packing list to cover you for 3 days, and we’d recommend adding 1 to each if you’re planning to stay longer for those afterparties.<\/p>\n

2 dresses<\/a><\/strong>
\n2 pairs of shorts<\/a><\/strong>
\n4 tops<\/a><\/strong>
\n2 bralettes<\/a><\/strong>
\n8 pairs of underwear<\/strong><\/a>(<\/strong> 2 for every day that you\u2019ll be there, I like to sleep in clean underwear)
\n1 hat<\/a><\/strong>
\n1 rain jacket\/poncho
\n1 sweater or a jacket<\/a><\/strong> (so you have something for when it gets cold at night)
\n2 swimsuits<\/a><\/strong> (for the pool parties!) and coverups<\/a><\/strong>
\n1 bandana<\/a><\/strong>
\n1 pajama set <\/a><\/strong>( that doubles as a dinner outfit)<\/p>\n

Shoes<\/h2>\n

Ladies, we love waling in heels. But let\u2019s save them for the afterparties. On festival grounds bring the comfys since you will be walking in them for up to 12 hours a day. We\u2019re suggest bringing clean sneakers, like these Adidas Spezials<\/a><\/strong>,  a pair of Lug Soled<\/a><\/strong> boots, and trendy kitten heels<\/a> <\/strong>for the parties. Plus, even though we’re seeing a decline in cowboy boots<\/strong><\/a>, Coachella is for sure a time you should bring them out (especially in funky colors).<\/p>\n

Accessories<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You don\u2019t want to be carrying too much with you throughout the day. Not only are they functional, but accessories also really make an outfit complete<\/strong>, trust us. The collection we’ve got our eye on this year is A.Cloud’s Interstellar Collection<\/a>, <\/strong>from the mind of Manuel Mendez, Blue Ivy’s Stylist! Plus, don’t count on wearing your hair down at Coachella. With all you’ll be doing, it’s smart to pack accessories that help you with the perfect updo to last all day.<\/strong> Whether it’s a hat or the cutest claw clip, you’ll be glad you prepared every time you look in the mirror.<\/p>\n

Backpack or Fanny Pack<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Small Purse or Wallet<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Essentials<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It’s going to be hot and dusty out there so here’s a list of things that will help you stay clean. Take the hand sanitizer and a small bag of baby wipes with you everywhere, just in case. Also an all over deodorant stick or cream ( like this Shea Moisture<\/a> Coconut and Hibiscus one – yum – that’s designed for women with melanin-rich skin<\/span>) is key to staying fresh and smelling fresh all day and all night long. If you’re too busy having fun to worry about washing up – we suggest Rile No-Shower Shower<\/a><\/strong> that’s just perfect for a clean up when you’re feeling sweaty or grimy. It’s a foaming micellar water ( no rinse needed btw) that pulls dirt & oil from the skin. Seriously you can use it anywhere and it’s great to have on hand before hitting up any afterparties. For the face – get really clean with Benefit’s<\/strong> new water-activated pore polisher – the Wow Polish<\/a><\/strong>. It combines 3 powders (Perlite, Lactic Acid & PHAs) to gently exfoliate before lathering into a foamy, purifying wash. FYI: all our essentials are all in one place right here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
