As you guys may already know, I’ll be back at Bonnaroo with my Teva family. They’ve really taught me what life on the road is all about. The nitty gritty of driving through the country, how to live out of a suitcase, and most importantly, how to camp. My Teva crew knows how to take things to the next level when it comes to having a fun, adventurous community of people with a love for wandering. It’s traveling by foot that really inspires me. In the winter, I pair my Teva sandals with socks, while in the summer, they accompany me through walks through the jungle and on the beach. Here are some looks to get you inspired for these upcoming hot summer nights on the campground.

It certainly is my favorite time of year when all you need to wear are bralettes, denim shorts, and teeny coverups. No matter how much I love my designer handbags and couture dresses when I’m back in Manhattan, there’s a large part of my style that’s always been back with the basics. When I’m surrounded by nature, I live in cottons. I meditate more. I do more yoga. I drink more smoothies and fresh vegetables. I never go to the airport without a bag of mandarin oranges. Suddenly my skin starts to glow thanks to all that Vitamin D from the sun. It’s so necessary to get out there, and smell the earth’s soil. So stop and smell the flowers this weekend, wild thang.
