Glastonbury '14!!!!

Well, I'm finally back to reality after a crazy few days at Glastonbury.  I'm quite literally a shell of a woman after a mad five days of non stop music, good hang times with great friends and some serious par-taying! We arrived on the Wednesday to a beautiful gazebo community which had been set up by Pete, Keeley, Brittany and Ken.  It was bunting and inflatable animals galore and within the first two hours I had already face palmed onto the metal walkway. I blame the wellies not the Rose vino.  This meant I walked around for the rest of the festival with two cut and bruised knees.  Tres chic!

The weather was mainly sunny and lovely but there was some epic thunder, lightening and rain on one of the days hence why I spent most of the weekend covered in mud.  So apologies if you're expecting some amazing outfit posts from me.  I quite literally looked like a mad vagabond for the whole weekend bar some amazing floral head pieces from Wild Floral Couture and Ruby Morley Millinery and some fab sunglasses and suede fringed jacket from Cotton Face Vintage.

We also went to see some amazing gigs including MIA who was probably my favourite of the weekend, Massive Attack, Jurassic 5, The Tune Yards, Dolly Parton and a secret tree house Aphex Twin gig to name but a few. I also developed a serious addiction to frozen margaritas which I completely blame for the loss of both my back up phone and my camera.  Thus I would like to thank Keeley and the two Sarahs for letting me rob some of their photos for this post.



Roll on next year......

Coachella 2013

As I sit here writing this I’m pretty sure I’m going to wake up with the flu tomorrow having gotten absolutely soaked walking home from work. More fool me for thinking that a sunny morning meant a dry and bright evening and so off I trotted this morning in some flimsy pumps which essentially meant I might aswell have walked home barefoot. So you can imagine how completely envious I am of anyone who happened to be at Coachella at the weekend. Here’s some festival inspiration for when our sunny days finally get here.

A regular on the Coachella scene is Kate Bosworth, I adore her sheer black dress and that waistcoat is to die for.  Unfortunately while she looks amazing in the white laser cut two piece it’s probably best to leave this look to the A listers who won’t be subjected to gross portaloos.

 Here’s what my favourite Knowles does best, Solange is absolutely queen of pattern and print. I need that skirt like right now!!

Another Coachella veteran, Diane always looks festival chic. This look is totally achievable on the high street, all I need now is some amazingly toned pins.

 Every wondered what a Victoria’s Secret Angel would look like at a festival? Here’s the answer, Allasandra Ambrosio looks seriously hot in her laid back chic look. Something tells me she didn’t spend a night in a tent.

One of my favourite singers Santigold playing at the H&M Loves Music party.

Here’s my top three essentials for all you festival goers:

These boots from River Island are my top choice of footwear, wellies schmellies!!

This  shearling coat from River Island will keep you cosy during the chilly night while giving a nod to the neon trend. The festival gods will approve.

Love, love, love this crop top from New Look, wear with some high waist denim shorts if your tum is less than perfect.

 Here’s some festival styling I did recently with Lockdown Models for the launch of Indiependence Music Festival. Rebecca O, Nicola and Cailin look amazing in outfits from River island and New Look and it made me super excited for the actual festival which takes place on the 2nd of August in Mitchelstown.

Well it may be lashing outside but I’m totally festival inspired, roll on the Summer, I’ll even take the Spring at this stage.
