Coachella: Wish I Was There
As much as I love London, I really wish I could have spent the weekend at the Coachella music festival in Indio, California. The lineup was insanely good with everyone from Prince to Kate Nash performing to thousands. As expected, with such an awesome lineup, there were plenty of celebs on and off stage, including Sienna Miller, Agyness Deyn, Mark Ronson and Kelly Osbourne who stayed on from the US NME Awards last week – probably tempted by the fact it's a music festival where you don't have to worry about getting trenchfoot.

Lovely Florence threw flowers out into the audience before her performance, Scouting For Girls got the crowd jumping around with "She's So Lovely" and I spied the new Skins cast, including Kaya Scodelario, dancing in the audience.
