A Day at Lollapalooza
Outfit details: H&M dress and necklace (in store) | Ray-Ban sunglasses | vintage belt and cuff
We spent Saturday in Chicago taking in the scene and a few of our favorite bands at Lollapalooza. It was unlike anything I’ve seen. The immense amount of people—roughly 100,000 per day—at this music festival is pretty overwhelming…until you grab a beer, find your spot on the grass (or right up in the crowd) and just take it all in. I originally intended to just do an outfit post (thanks for all your votes on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter to help me pick between this outfit and this one!), with a few pics of Lolla mixed in, but I took more photos than I expected around the park so you’re getting a little photo diary instead. Keep on reading for the photos from our day, plus a special playlist I created for you!
The highlight of the day was definitely The Lumineers coming out into the crowd, just a few people away from us, to perform. It was the golden hour of the day, and I got some amazing shots from atop John’s shoulders. Being right in the heart of such an awesome live performance counts as one of my favorite life experiences. I loved, loved hearing Ben Howard (huge fan here) play. We also caught the Local Natives, The National, St. Lucia and Eric Church before ending the day with The Lumineers and Mumford & Sons.
The crowd for Mumford & Sons immediately after The Lumineers was insane—way different than the first time we saw them at a small venue in Milwaukee, but there was something so incredibly energizing about joining more than 60,000 people to listen to everyone’s favorite band. We were about 1/3 the way back in the photo above.
