Festival Fashion Fix

With summer fast approaching and the likes of Forbidden fruit, Longitude, Independence festival, Sea sessions and Electric picnic just a few months away it’s time to get inspired. The best thing about festival fashion is that anything goes, although technically that can be said about fashion in general it’s not always possible to pull off some of the more daring looks such as glitter roots or floral crowns while going about your day to day life! Here are some festival staples that will keep you looking bang on trend no matter what festival you choose to attend.             

                                                      BO HO QUEEN

For this look it’s all about outfit simplicity with statement accessories. Pairing block colors together to create a 'co-ord look' such as a white crop top with white shorts is always a winner. Choosing fabrics like lace or a crochet patterns adds subtle detail to the look. Long flowy skirts can look incredible but are not always practical unless you want it trailing in the mud... or drink that can normally be found at an Irish festival! Once you have your  basics it's all about the accessories. Just add silver jewellery, a funky belt, a hat or floral headband, wavy hair, vintage specks and your done!

                                                       ADD AN EDGE 

If you’re looking to make your outfit a bit more edgy there are some simple ways to so, do. Fishnets are huge this year. The 90’s staple has made a crazy comeback and will instantly make your outfit a bit funkier. Chokers, big rings a good hat and some cool boot all make you stand out just that bit more. Throw on some red lipstick and sunnies and the look is complete.

                                                      GLITTER BABE

The glitter trend is something that has been around for quite some time however it’s only recently that it's getting to be the norm to put it everywhere. Glitter roots were huge last year and will surely be making a comeback this year, but if glitter roots aren’t for you can add glitter to your cheekbones to create and extra dramatic highlight or put some on your collarbones to add a bit of sparkle!

I hope if you're still reading this that you've been somewhat inspired and are ready take on the festival season in style! Much love 

Summer Lovin'

Its genuinely hard to believe that Summer is over already! It was definitely the fastest Summer ever but also one of if not the best! I threw together a few new bits and bobs that I discovered this Summer that I absolutely loved!

1)NAKED 2 pallet: I had been wanting to get this as soon as I hear it came out but never got around to getting it seen as I love my NAKED 1 but its safe to say I equally love this one! The main difference is that naked two has some lighter shades so its less smoky and really I find its better for everyday wear.

2)The Faults In Our stars: this year I really got out of the habit of reading but at the start of the summer I purchased a kindall which was the best idea ever! I just found it an effort to go to eassons every time you want to pick up a book, and it was also a light weight to bring on hols! TFIOS was on of the Summer's huge blockbusters in Cinemas which I still havent gone to see but the book was just amazing! It really gives you a greater appreciation for life, love and most things that we take for granted. Definitely a must read!

3)Nescafé Azera Americano Coffee: I'me an avid coffee drinker and have had many different types in my day but without a doubt the nicest at home coffee in a jar I've had yet  is Azera. It just tastes like happiness!

4)Stellar: At the start of the summer while sitting for hours in the hairdressers with what resembled heavy tinfoil on my head I picked up Stellar Magazine and was immediately hooked! Since I grew out of Kiss which was my ultimate favourite and is sadly closing down, I didn't have one I would religiously buy every month but it looks like things have changed!

5)Scented Candles: This is kind of self explanatory. I feel very old that  all of a sudden that I'm writing about my new found love for scented candles but recently I discovered that I love them, new guilty pleasure I guess!

5)Last but not least my new found appreciation and love for Bombay Bicycle Club, just before longitude I realised how great they were and now its my "good mood" music! Luna is my favourite song of theirs, it just reminds me of Longitude and what a great day we had! Definitely check them out.

Any new discoveries over the Summer? Let me know,
