Summer Music Festival Wear

Every year around late May/early June we start getting ready for Houston’s biggest music festival, Free Press Summer Fest. We were all pretty relieved and excited when the FPSF ball started rolling a few years back. It grew from the previous WestFest, a Westheimer Street Festival that is fondly remembered for its heyday in the nineties.

Festival fashion is fun, but it has to be functional. Know what to wear and bring when you are spending 12 hours baking in the humid sun between downpours. In style.

Beyond the fashion, accessories make the festival. Don’t forget an umbrella. Rain or shine, it will come in handy.

Bring a compact Point and Shoot with a good zoom lens like the Nikon COOLPIX L840. The camera body won’t be too heavy or large to fit in your purse, but the zoom will be good enough to get really crisp tight shots of your friends and the artists performing on the stage.

Coola sunscreen is much more safe for your skin. Most sunscreens have harmful chemicals, but Coola is my preferred brand. Given that I spend so much time at the beach, I wear sunscreen a lot. I turn to Coola for sunscreen that has no stress attached.

Remember to carry an external battery cell! It’s a life saver. Guarantee that you won’t be stranded without a phone at the end of a long day of a roaming cell phone.
