12 Mommy Must-Haves For Coachella!

Ladies!!!  Coachella is just 24 hours away and that seems to be all people are talking and posting about!!  Of course, doing Coachella as a Haute Mommy is a whole lot different than as a young, purrrrdy 20-somethin more interested in long hours of hard rocking than chilling out.  Most of us who are going to the festival have probably made arrangements for the little ones and are heading to the desert for adult time to soak up some vitamin D, listen to great tunes and get laid!!  At least that's our plan :)  In the event you've been living under a rock for many years, Coachella Fest is so heavily focused on concert goers one-upping each other's style game that you literally can't walk two steps without having fringe, flower-crowns and barely-there denim cut-offs shoved down your friggin throat.  It's just soooooo OVER ladies.  So, with that, here are 12 Mommy Must-Haves For Coachella that'll have you glowing with sophistication, comfort and ease, and accessibility.  Note: leave your feathers at the door.
