Tis the Season of Festivals!

As Winter comes to an end and Spring right around the corner, music festivals all over the U.S.A. are coming up. Whether its Firefly, Bonnaroo, or Electric Forest, your festival outfit should always be killer. Music festivals give people the chance to experiment with different  looks that they wouldn't be able to try in their everyday life. However, when choosing your festival outfit one must take in consideration of the weather! Music festival are all day, outdoor events and a patron should be ready for whatever Mother Nature throws at them. For example, an all leather outfit at Bonnaroo, where it is very hot, humid, and has no shade, would be a big no no.
 Here some tips for deciding what to wear:

• Closed toed shoes should be an absolute must (you're feet are going to get stepped on like crazy).
•  However, if you decide to wear open toed sandals, make sure they are strapped on to your feet! Spending the whole day only wearing one shoe would be a total drag!
•  Have an eye catching purse or fanny pack, to put your essentials in (phone, money, keys & etc.).
•  Have a pair of fun sunglasses; this can pull your whole outfit together and you won't be blinded by sunlight or have to wear eye makeup.
•  Wear clothes that are easy to jump and dance in! Concerts are no fun if you're standing around; dance like nobody is watching!
•  Don't be afraid of accessories! Stack on some tribal bracelets or wear a gold necklace.

Looking Back on Counterpoint- view from a Cavortress intern

As a Cavortress intern I have been fortunate enough to take part in various fabulous events!  My name is Meghan Bowes and  I am a Senior at the College of Charleston.  One of my favorite experiences thus far has been attending Counterpoint music festival.  Cavortress headed to Atlanta, Georgia September 27-29.  There we were a part of  3 days of house, dub, and electronic madness with artists such as Skrillex, Pretty Lights, Lotus, and so many more! As venders we had full access to the VIP sections putting us front row for the shows and kicking it in the lavish VIP tent.

Julie and I hitting up the VIP tent

Cavortress was vending 24/7 rocking the hot pink Cavortress tent filled with crazy fabulous vintage everything!  Despite a minor setback from a whirlwind storm, the trip was a total success. Luckily we were able to keep the inventory dry and were back in action in no time.  We gave the Counterpoint fans the vintage they needed to top off their crazy outfits!

Vintage Cavortress belts! Just some of the great stuff we were selling. 

Check out some of the pictures I managed to capture during the mayhem that was Counterpoint...

A view of the crowd from the front row during pretty lights! Check out all those totems 

Word on the street is Cavortress is heading to New Orleans for Voodoo next!!
