I don’t know about you, but I can’t get my
daily dose of the Daily Mail online this week (I know, please don’t judge!) or
my weekly fashion fix from Grazia without being bombarded with endless photos
from Coachella, the LA music festival.
The finest from the fashion, film, music and celebrity world descend
upon the deserts just outside La La Land to listen to the latest music
and
basically be beautiful.
Whilst I pore over the pictures and fixate
on the latest fashion trends at the festival, I realise that my chances of
dancing in the desert with the bold and the beautiful are as likely as dancing
with little green men on Mars. Whilst
the crowd at Coachella might not appreciate Coco’s food throwing or disco dancing,
here is a list of this summer’s top five family-friendly festivals where she
would fit in better than Daisy Lowe at Lovebox…
