Crafty Runner Mom: April 2015

PANDORA Coachella 2015 swag bag

I must admit. I'm a Disney fan and a Pandora jewelry fan. So when I got the Pandora Club email invitation to Pandora's first ever off-site Coachella party, I was thrilled.

The Pandora Jewelry Experience #ArtOfYou event was a three-day "Fashion Experience" of runway shows by designers Tracy Reese, Nanette Lepore, WHiT and Siwy Denim. It took place on Weekend One of the 2015 Coachella Music Festival (April 10-12) at the Gene Autry Estate area of the trendy Parker Hotel in Palm Springs.

Here is the Disney Style video of the event. I'm in this video twice!

Here are some photos that I took of the April 11th event.

The lawn. Near the check-in table at the entrance was a cocktail bar. DJ Whitney Fierce was spinning some tunes. A Minnetonka mural was being painted. And they were handing out yummy popsicles from Popshop.

The Pandora tent, where they were handing out blue & orange tote bags. Pandora jewelry was displayed throughout.

The Minnie Style tent by Disney Style. It had a photo booth, a nail bar where you could get a manicure, a candy bar, and fashions by Lauren Conrad and LoungeFly on display. They were also giving out a polka-dotted fan, polka-dotted red sunglasses, and a polka-dotted black-and-white scarf.

Showing off my new #MinnieStyle manicure. I just like love how it goes so well with my Minnie & Mickey Pandora bracelet, Alex and Ani bangles, and ring.

The Minnie scarf tied onto my Harvey's Seatbelt Bag Minnie purse.

The Think Style tent by Disney Style. They had a hair bar (where you could get your hair done up into a TinkerBell style top bun), a tattoo bar (for cute glittery temporary tattoos), and bohemian Tink inspired fashions on display. They were also giving out white fairy wings to wear.

That tattoo was perfect with my Pandora TinkerBell dangle, TinkerBell glow-in-the-dark green murano, & runDisney dangle on a Pandora leather wrap bracelet which I styled into a leather necklace with the Flower muranos (all from Pandora's Spring 2015 collection).

The Hawaiian Tropic Tent. They had yoga sessions, hammocks, a juice bar, and a lounge. They were also giving away suntan lotion & sunscreen.

Entrance to the Fashion Show tent. I was so happy to get a front row seat for the Tracey Reese fashion show. On the runway, I loved how Tracey Reese strung stacks of Pandora rings onto leather cord and styled them as long bohemian necklaces. Nanette Lepore took a different approach and styled the jewelry using stacks of rings on fingers and stacks of Essence bracelets around elbows (armbands) and wrists.
