Living on the East coast makes Coachella seem like it's a world away–but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy the sun, music, crowds, and relaxed fashion vicariously through others. With its official end this past weekend, I found myself tallying its various sartorial hits and misses. So many celebrities seem to try too hard–I'm looking at you Emma Roberts and Katy Perry–and some barely try at all (you really should have done better Lauren Conrad and Lea Michele). Then some people get it just right. Technically this Rosie Huntington-Whiteley outfit had one too many trendy elements, but they suited the event and her style so perfectly it worked. Daisy-embellished shorts? A sheer, unbuttoned blouse with a nude bra? Lots of mismatched gold jewelry? Taupe ankle boots? A denim bag? Yes to all of the above.
What do you think? Did you have a favorite look from Coachella 2012?

If you're going to wear a bright yellow sweater, you could do a lot worse than choose one by Alexander Wang. Kate Beckinsale–snapped shopping in LA the day before Christmas Eve–could have stopped traffic in hers, plus she managed not to look like a bumblebee despite the fact that she paired the top with all black accessories. I'm loving cropped heavy knit sweaters these days (I just picked up a neutral one from American Eagle that's oh-so-comfortable) and Kate's look left me feeling inspired to go a bit bolder with color choices.
What do you think? Would you wear a neon sweater in December (or ever)?
