Arianne SuggsUpdated on June 6, 2017June 5, 2017Leave a Comment

Can you believe that it is already the 2017 CFDA Awards night? This is one of the fashion industry’s biggest events of the year! Everyone who is anyone makes sure that they come out to play and slay.

Therefore, its time to accept that a full 365 has actually passed us by ushering in yet another amazing evening of stylish flair.

Beyonce Headlining Coachella 2018- And Why You Won’t Get a Ticket

Arianne SuggsUpdated on June 2, 2017June 2, 2017Leave a Comment

Ouch! After reading that headline you may be in need of a little ointment due to that burn. However, we are also sure that you can appreciate the honesty. Yes, it’s true about Beyonce Headlining Coachella 2018, but getting a ticket will be rougher than The Hunger Games. May the odds be forever in your favor!

Beyonce Headlining Coachella 2018 – And Why You Won’t Get a Ticket

There are two glaring reasons why getting to see Beyonce Headlining Coachella 2018 will be next to impossible. For one, it is a high profile show that everyone and their mama are going to want to attend. That means celebs, their friends, industry, posers, world’s biggest hive as well as music enthusiasts that you will have to compete against. Moreover, Beyonce fans are still trying to scratch that musical itch after Bey had to cancel her headliner performance at this year’s Coachella.

Bey’s absence for 2017’s Coachella music festival was very valid. Her and Jay are extending their family thus making their cutie daughter, Blue Ivy, a big sis to twin siblings. Although, Beyonce had showed great gusto performing while preggers at the Grammys. It was ultimately decided that she would cancel her Coachella performance for her and her babies’ health.

Nevertheless, the cancellation did not mean an end to the whole Beyonce and Coachella situation. For awhile, rumors swirled around that Bey was told she could perform in 2018 if she wanted. Well, it looks like there was some truth to all that tea because Beyonce is performing and tickets are going on sale baby!

Beyonce Headlining Coachella 2018

You see…that’s the other problem. Pre-sale tickets go on sale today at 11 a.m. Pacific time. So if you’re reading this… it’s too late (LOL sorry we couldn’t resist). Yet, really though if money is tight, payday is next week or you didn’t have enough time to beg the parentals to give you the gift that truly matters. Then you may not be getting into the biggest BeyHive party in the desert.

Nevertheless, you didn’t think we going to be all doom and gloom right? The Coachella advance sale means its payment plan time! If you purchase tickets now you can slowly pay for your Coachella experience over the course of the year.

The official festival payment plan consists of 7 total payments. You pay an initial payment and over the course of six months you pay off the final six. So basically you have from June (this month) till December to get things squared with Coachella. Make sense?

However, if you do choose to go the payment plan route be sure to make each payment on time. If you fail to do so your order will be cancelled and you will be charged a $50 fee. Yikes.

The payment plan is only offered during presale. So if you want in we suggest you act fast. Happy planning Beyonce and music fest lovers!

You Asked: Hope you pick me! I want to ask about Porsha Williams swimsuit. She just posted about it and like some of her look. Mainly just the swimsuit. I like it because it is very African Queen. I wish she had done her hair differently and not so sure about the skirt thing she is wearing with it. But I love her swimsuit and I’m curious if the skirt is actually apart of it and how much it costs.

Ask and Tell: Porsha Williams Wearing BFyne Swimwear Collection

The Verdict: You have been picked honey! The printed swimsuit is by swimwear company, BFYNE. The brand has brought together high fashion and melanin magic which is why we adore their designs as well.

Porsha wore the BFYNE “Imaan” swimsuit while having some fun under the sun in Miami, Florida. Williams hosted a red hot yacht party and her fashion for the event fit the bill. Regarding her ensemble, no the black skirt is not apart of the BFYNE suit. It is made by celebrity favorite store, Reve Boutique. Therefore, if you wish to wear just the suit you certainly can.

Last, but oh not so least, we are sure you would like to know the price of the BFYNE swimsuit. It retails for $205.99.
