Today, it seems like the dip dye craze is everywhere we look. We saw ombré hair to the max at Coachella, admired the two tone jeans and shorts in TopShop's spring line, and now Dries Van Noten is bringing dip dye to the runway. Certaintly, it looks like this trend isn't going anywhere anytime soon. While the multi-tonal hair trend could be fading away invariably soon, one aspect of the trend that we certainly hope will stick around is dip dyed denim, a classy alternative to tie dye. Tie dye and classy in the same sentence? Oxymoron, anyone?

With the dip dye trend, it's never been easier to exude that effortlessly cool, bohemian beach essence into an ensemble. Just pair some dip dyed denim cut-offs with a graphic tee, chunky platforms, and a wide brim hat to create a look worthy of the spring breeze or some summertime sun.

And the best part of our new obsession? Dip-dye Directions! So you can get all kinds of D.I.Y. up in it.

1. Make yourself some bleach, two parts water, one part bleach

2. Dip your garment into the mixture at the desired length and leave it soaking for 30 minutes; hang the garment on something since you don't bleach more than you want

3. After bleaching to the desired shade of white, soak the garment in the sink with two parts water and one part vinegar for 5-10 minutes

4. Let your garment dry, and enjoy!

Inspiration Now: The 1920s

I've always been enamored by other decades (who isn't?!) but the 1920's is the one that's caught the most of my attention. There's something to the illegal lifestyle that most people lived that's increasingly intriguing. This season we can feel the essence of the jazz era through modern culture and style. From the oscar winning silent film, The Artist and the remake of The Great Gatsby (coming out in Winter -) to the overly embellished and drop waist garments, there's a handful of inspirational outlets to look at (and shop!) this season that will help mask the yearning to go back to the 20s.

The event many of us wait all year round for is almost here! In just eight days, 75,000 music enthusiasts from all over the world will gather amidst their favorite singers, bands, and DJs for the first weekend of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival to party for three days in the desert. We've been there before, and know just how scorching hot it can get during the day, but nothing, not even the sun, has never stopped us from looking our best.

At this year's festival I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot of distressed denim cut-offs, and long flowy skirts, paired with vintage-inspired lace or crochet crop tops—anything that will let our bodies breathe, whether we're lounging by the poolside sipping a mimosa at a day party, or dancing our asses off in the Sahara Tent at night. It's always the accessories that make an outfit, and every girl should be bringing out her big sunglasses, and even bigger sun hat, while piling on as much jewelry as possible, to get that cool, weathered, desert bohemian look.

For anyone still obsessing over what to wear, don't stress, we've gathered all the Coachella outfit inspiration you'd ever need, ever—
