Festival Fashion...What to Wear to a Music Festival...Part 2...

Short Shorts

Who likes short shorts?? Shorts are a festival staple. They can be as cute or as crazy as you like. I picked out a few pairs from Topshop.

Festival Fashion...What to Wear to a Music Festival...Part 1...

With Coachella starting yesterday and Glastonbury and Oxegen coming up in a few months its time to start planning your festival wardrobe. Now is the best time to start looking for things to wear as all the high summer wear is coming into stores at the min. With Slane on next month you can give your festival outfit a test drive! There are some things that you just always need to bring to a festival or outdoor event ie a hat and wellies! Straw trilby's are generally the hat of choice, but this year I am loving the wide brim hats we are seeing at the min (check out my previous post on wide brimmed hats here). Maybe not too wide brimmed or you will not be popular with the person standing behind you! :)
Hunter wellies are the brand of welly to be seen in, made popular by Miss Moss and gang. Some people don't agree with splashing out big bucks on a pair of wellies but I would rather pay €80+ on one good pair of wellies that will last than buying a new pair of wellies at €20 a pop for each festival and then ditching them in a field afterwards. Not my style and not very environmentally friendly. Last year I bought these Hunter Carnaby Boa and I have been looking for excuses to wear them ever since!

I could totally feel the difference and you pay for quality. The previous year I bought a cheap pair of wellies for €20 in Dunnes and my lower back hurt so much I couldn't wait to get home. I actually made excuses to hang around my tent. But with the Hunters I didn't have any back pain and I actually came back with calf muscles like rocks:) Here are some more cute wellies I picked out.




I think combat boots are a cute option too if you don't fancy wearing wellies. If you are lucky enough to be going to a festival where it is actually going to be dry and not a mud-fest, here are some really pretty flats from Topshop you could wear.





Check back for Part 2!

What to Wear to a Festival...

Hey Guys! The countdown to Oxegen is on! Music festivals have become such a huge part of our social calendar that we all want to look amazing for! However planning outfits is an actual nightmare with our temper-mental weather, to say the least. So here is a quick edit I through together of some really cool affordable pieces for the weekend. Seperates are the way to go, dresses are so easy to just throw on which is great but if you get soaked you are feckered! It always a good idea to bring a spare outfit just in case you get drenched. Two major trends this year which I thnk need to be left at home are maxi-dresses and playsuits. Maxi dresses for the obvious reason of people stomping your beautiful dress into the mud and dragging half of the campsite around on the end of your dress, and playsuits...well we don't like to have to spend any longer than is necessary in those gross portaloos, so enough said really! Hope you all have a great weekend if you are going, and remember to pack the SPF 30+!

Festival Fashion


Yep it's that time of year again, Oxegen is upon us! So in the name of all that is festival I threw together two looks on Polyvore for the weekend!! But seeing as Oxegen takes place under Irish weather, a rain jacket is ESSENTIAL!! Penney's/Primark have a great one which is perfect and cheap as chips!! Alexa Chung to me has great festival style, check out some of her pics here I would love to be able to look so effortless, having to pack and organise outfits in advance generally panics me as I feel like I'm trying to hard, it's being forced! I lose my ability to effortlessly throw outfits together in a I just picked this up off the bedroom floor kinda way! love this girls look here, this will probably be the look I will be going for one of the days this weekend!Just incase it rains, how cute!! :)xx
