In the video, Lauren pointed out she was making 'an observation'. 

"Why aren't any brands inviting Irish influencers to Coachella. The Irish girlies would eat up. They eat here when it is raining and cold and windy 90% of the time at the festivals here. Hail, rain or shine the Irish girlies will eat up a festival outfit. I think they are missing out on a fabulous opportunity and I think I would be a great candidate for that."
