coachella twenty eleven: best dressed

as many of you know, this past weekend was graced with the presence of coachella. for those of you who dont know, its a three-day music festival with artists ranging from extremely popular like kanye west, to those whom youve never heard of, to give you an idea of how popular it is, three-day passes, which are hundreds of dollars, sold out in an hour.
not only is coachella a music epicenter for the three-day weekend, but a fashion one as well. its a no fear zone for dressing in things you normally wouldnt and wearing things that are out of your comfort zone.
here are my picks for best dressed at coachella 2011:

7. [optional] get a big ribbon or a clip and tie it on to the ponytail for an added touch
