LOVE: Alice + Olivia’s Bonnaroo Diary

Posted in By Em, LOVE by styleinspades on June 19, 2010
Excerpts from designer, Stacey Bendet’s Bonnaroo Diary. Courtesy of StyleCaster:

..

“On the road! The start of our 20-hour drive was a bit rocky-the Airstream had some mechanical issues and we had to stop in the middle of nowhere New Jersey. Luckily, there was a nearby mall and while it wasn’t exactly Barneys, it did have a giant candy store with every gumball flavor you could ever imagine and a nail salon where we got last minute pedicures (Cleo and I did green, Diggy went black and Mollie went neon) Mia + Caitlin made amazing mixes for the trip and we had tons of games (everything from Checkers to Trivial Pursuit to Etch-A-Sketch) to keep us busy!”

.

.

“We Set up. The rainbow kiddie pool and margaritas were a hit. Everyone was trying to check out Caitlin in the pool and take photos in front of the airstream! We dressed her in a boxy silver sequin top and super cute army green silk mini skirt before she went to perform.”

.

.

“We all were obsessed with the silent disco tent where Mia and Caitlin (both clad in gold sequins) performed! Kings of Leon, She + Him, The Flaming Lips, Phoenix, and Jay-Z were other highlights. At Jay Electronica, Jay jumped down from the stage, grabbed Cleo, and sang a song to her. Mollie said, “That’s the most romantic thing that’s never happened to me.” Now, despite feeling like our feet might never be clean again, we are leaving the land of hip-hop and hippies and we are off to make over Nashville!”
