Stacker Style: Outside Lands 2017, Day 2

On day dos of OSL, comfort was once again key. I'm usually one to mix up the outfits - one day, I'll keep it casual with jeans, and the next day I'll let it flow with a floor length maxi. This year, I kept it easy with jeans and sneaks both days in a row, but made sure to jazz up my looks with some fun statement pieces. See the breakdown of my outfit, including which Rebeca Minkoff pieces I styled for this look, after the jump!

Stacker Style: Outside Lands 2017, Day 1

Outside Lands has come and gone, but my #OOTD photos live on, thus, I must share them. OSL was my first festival this year, which is slightly shocking for a festival gal like myself. What's even more shocking is that I only made it to two of the three days this year. This girl is getting old, ha. Luckily for me, I had no expectations, no agenda and was just there for the fun. I danced, I laughed, and, of course, I ate. This year, I was stoked to work with Rebecca Minkoff to showcase how us SF gals do festival fashion. After the jump, see how I styled my RM.

Stacker Style: Outside Lands 2016 - Day 3

We made it! The final day of Outside Lands and what do you know... the sun came out to play! Which couldn't have worked out better because I saved this pretty set for last in hopes that it'd be warm enough to wear. Luckily for me, it was. You know from posts past that I love me a good maxi. What do I love more than a good maxi? A good maxi set. Tobi, you sure came through for your girl.

Stacker Style: Outside Lands 2016 - Day 2

Day two was colder than the first, which surprisingly enough, wasn't something I prepared for. Yeah, yeah - I went on and on about how prepared I was for day one, but couldn't get it together for day two? Well, let me just tell you that everyone I was with was equally as surprised by how much colder it was on Saturday. Thanks a lot, weather app! But, in all seriousness, I didn't do too bad. On day two, I came back in black. At one point I looked like I was from The Craft - I wore this beautiful matte brown lippie that actually made me look super goth, so I had to pull a switcheroo right before stepping out the door to a deeper tone. All in all? I think I nailed it... (come on, I had to!).

Stacker Style: Outside Lands 2016 - Day 1

There's no place that makes me happier than a festival - the music, the food, the good vibes - it's all bliss. Outside Lands is my second festival of 2016 (Coachella being my first of the year), and I still have two more to go (Austin City Limits at the end of next month and Treasure Island in October)! In fact, I think this year marks my sixth year in a row of OSL-ing (check out some of my past OSL years, here). So, yeah, I guess you can say I know a thing or two about that festival life. One of the best things about festivals is the creativity associated with what to wear - I, myself, am much more partial to the warmer festivals, because it seems sort of wrong having to lug around a parka, scarf, beanie, and more, right? Well, OSL is one of the festivals where the cold is just a given (thanks, Karl). Luckily for me, this year Tobi had my back.  

Stacker Style: Outside Lands Day 3

We made it to the third and last day of my Outside Lands outfit recaps! Hooray, hooray. On day three of the festival, I decided to go for another full length maxi, because why mess with a good thing? Typical to Chanda fashion, I couldn't help but finish off my look with a pair of comfy footwear (this time, OluKai's "Hema" leather sandals) and another signature hat (the bigger, the better). If there's one thing I love, it's this outfit combo. Day three was significantly cooler than the first two days - luckily my long maxi kept my legs covered up and I was smart enough to bring a thick denim jacket. Because I wanted to be as handsfree as possible for optimal dancing, I opted for a chic fanny pack, which also served as a belt for my dress. Two birds, one stone, folks. And boy did I dance. On day three, I caught my favorites: Odesza (seeing them again this December!), Sam Smith, DJ Mustard (amazing.) and good ole Sir Elton John. Nothing like finishing off your night to some "Tiny Dancer."

Stacker Style: Outside Lands Day 2 - #AnywhereAloha by Olukai

Aloha, friends! Day two of Outside Lands was a blast - good music, good hangs, good people, great food and just all around good, good vibes. Like most years, what I wear to the festival is a top priority. Outside Lands is a tricky one - it's hot (but not as hot as Coachella), cold ( the #fogust runs deep), and there's lots of walking from stage to stage, through dust and up and down mini hills. So, with each new year, I get wiser with my shoe selection and avoid anything that my feet won't be able to stand after an hour of dancing. This year, I was lucky enough to partner with OluKai and hang out with their at their beautiful #AnywhereAloha booth. For those of you who may not already be familiar, OluKai is a a Hawaiian leather footwear brand that rocks at making comfortable shoes and sandals made for adventure. And, if my five or so past years at OSL have taught me anything, it's that San Francisco's best music festival of the year is truly an adventure.

Stacker Style: Outside Lands Day 1

If there's one word the majority of my pals would use to describe me, it's "sassy." Fittingly that the nickname "Sassy Stacker" just rolls off the tongue, no? So, it was hardly a surprise when I rolled up to the first day of Outside Lands in my latest new purchase  - my sassy tee. As soon as I saw this sucker online, I added it to my cart and hit express shipping, please. All jokes aside, I can always count on Lulus to hook a girl up and have just what I need when it's time to hunt for the perfect festival pieces. Each year at OSL, I go for easy, casual comfort. Because I knew I'd be running around all day, I decided to slip on a pair of my trusty ole distressed denim, an easy breezy tee, a flannel for layering purposes, beanie (my hat-wear choice of the day) and some slip ons to take me from point a to point b. All in all, almost everything, aside from my new tee, was just mixed and matched from something I already owned in my closet. Don't you love it when it all just comes together like that?

Outside Lands 2014: Day Three + Video Recap

We made it to day three of Outside Lands. (Missed day one or two?) So while day one's weather was so-so and day two's weather was miserably cold, day three's weather was surprisingly sunny (so sunny that I got a tan!). Wish I had known that the weather was planning to warm up because I dressed like I was ready for another foggy evening with Karl. Day three was much more relaxing and filled with lots and lots of food (which you will soon see when you scroll through the snaps). Aside from the ramen burgers, mac and cheese, and sweet potato tots, I also had the pleasure of seeing my favorite act - Flume. Flume was by far my favorite set of all three days. (No surprise there - remember Coachella?) I had no problem dancing in my Restricted "Country" boots to the entirety of his set! To see the aforementioned ramen burger and more, scroll through for more photos and my final recap video!

Outside Lands 2014: Day Two

Day two of Outside Lands was nothing short of amazing. It was the coldest day out of the three (whomp, whomp), but I didn't let that stop me from frolicking around in my maxi and midriff. Those who follow me on Instagram might know that I also teamed up with Restricted Footwear this year. Restricted Footwear was so gracious in equipping me with my dancing shoes for all three days of the fest. (You might remember the brand from my time at Coachella!) And, they even let me share the wealth with three lucky ladies, all of whom won three pairs of festival footwear! On day one I wore my "Westside" booties (as seen in yesterday's post). But what about day two? Scroll through to see my snaps!

Outside Lands 2014: Day One

Another Outside Lands festival has come to an end, and boy, am I having withdrawals. It's no secret that I am an avid festival-goer. I love the free-spirited feelings, the loud music, the dancing-with-no-inhibitions, and the good, good vibes. There's nothing that music can't heal, so imagine three days of non-stop, back-to-back jams! This year, I was so very excited to partner up with my pals at Chictopia to give followers a look at Outside Lands through the eyes of an true Bay Area native. From the fashion and art to the music and food, I tried to capture it all for my Instagram-takeover. If you didn't catch all my snaps on Instagram, fear not - I've got dayssss worth of posts to catch you up, starting with this one.

You've Seen This Before, But Not Like This

Alright, I swear I'm almost done posting photos of Outside Lands... but when your talented friend and photog hands you photos like this, how can you keep them to yourself? Shout out to Ryan Chua for finding me at the festival and snapping some quickies of me on Day 3. I know you've seen the outfit, but can a girl take a moment to talk about her hair? I haven't had a good hair day in a long time, so I am beyond thrilled that the one day I did, someone caught it on film. HOLLER. Just kidding you guys... but seriously.

Another festival has come and gone, and here I am experiencing severe withdrawals. Happens every. single. time. I am so, so extremely grateful to LuLu*s for giving me and my partner in crime, Kathleen, the opportunity to cover Outside Lands and do a weekend takeover of their IG. You know I love my Instagram, so it was awesome to be able to share that passion with another community of fashion lovers! It was even more awesome to have so many cutie pie festival-goers find us throughout the weekend and come up to us.

My favorite acts from the weekend included Rhye (so, so, so good), Young The Giant, Vampire Weekend, and of course, Red Hot Chili Peppers. I experienced my first ever funnel cake (I know, who am I?) and basically danced my little behind off. There are certainly not enough photos that can do this weekend justice, but you know me, I'm still going to try. Thank you to everyone who followed our #lulusatOL journey this past weekend - I hope you all enjoyed it as much as we did! xx

It's no secret that I'm a music lover and festival junkie. In fact, I think I've been to at least one concert, show, or festival each month this year, thus far. So, it shouldn't be any surprise this Bay Area babe is headed to San Francisco's Outside Lands. (Come on guys, it's practically in my own backyard!) But one thing I've been dying to spill the beans on? I'm headed there with LuLu*s and my partner in crime, Kathleen! We'll be there for all three days of the festival, taking over the LuLu*s IG, Instagramming our favorite moments and stopping fashionable festival-goers for some surprise treats!

To help you cool cats get excited for this weekend, we're hosting a #lulusatOL Instagram contest! Head on over to the LuLu*s blog for the full deets to see how you can win a $200 gift card!

So if you're in San Francisco and you'll be at the festival, be sure to stop me and say hello - I've made it even easier in showing you one of the outfits I'll be sporting that day. No excuses.
