How to Survive Glastonbury in Style!

Rain, mud, thunder, mud sunshine and more mud was the tricky style situation at Glastonbury this year, our stylist Amy recalls! The constant change in weather however, didn't dampen her spirits as she danced to her favourite bands and trecked across the fields - even when her floral vintage cardigan became a victim to the mud! The main reason is that she was very prepared and embraced the situation.

Here is her top tips for surviving Glastonbury (or any other festival) in style:
  • Pack the essentials - waterproof, wellies, wet wipes, suncream, hairbrush, dry shampoo, make up and of course a floral hair garland!
  • Take a backpack that can hold the items you need whilst not at the tent.
  • Layer! With the change in weather you will be constantly adding to or elimating items to your outfit. 
  • Wear clothing that is easy to wash as no matter how careful you are, other people are not. You will be guaranteed to be splashed by mud on various occasions - black tights/leggings are a great barrier. The cardigan in question is drying as we speak! 
  • Embrace the mud as their is no escape!
  • Carry an umberella as at heavy downpours you will be extremely grateful.
  • Make up is great for hiding tired eyes and providing a refreshed look. 
  • A picnic blanket with a plastic side/camping chair is great for giving your legs a rest from walking in your wellies. 
  • Do wear clothes you like however, not items that will leave you devastated if they get ruined. 
  • Drink plenty of water to keep you hydrated and eat regulary to provide the much needed energy.

The Friday Girl's Picks: Summer Raincoats!

This might not be what you want to hear, but today, it's raining. We all know that in Britain, good old Blighty, we get a bit of rain every now and again! So, to keep all our lovely clothes dry and stop us getting soggy, occasionally we'll need a coat! I've trawled the net and found a lovely little selection of raincoats perfect for the summer months and great if you're heading off to any festivals too!

Surviving a Festival in Style!!

As I was beginning to start packing my essentials for Glastonbury on Wednesday I thought I should share my tops tips to surviving a 5 day festival in style.

1. A Raincoat: Purchase a raincoat that you love as if it rains (fingers crossed it won't) this will be your entire outfit for the duration of the festival.

2. Dresses:  Frocks look pretty and are perfect for layering with a cardigan to keep warm yet stylish!

3. Leggings: Pack enough leggings for each day as they can easily slip under a dress and also dry really quickly if caught dancing in the rain.

4. Hair Accessories: Clips and bobbles are great for transforming your hair into a sensation. Simply create a cute plait or chic top knot and no one will notice you haven't been able to perform your usually beauty regime. Hair bands are perfect for creating a pretty stylish hairstyle.

5. Knee Socks: Take plenty of long socks to wear with wellies. Chances are you will be wearing wellies for the majority of the festival so socks provide comfort, style and warmth.

Which festival are you going this season? Let us know your 5 top tips to maintaining a stylish festival look.

Festival Finds for the Fella's...

As well as longer warmer days and endless afternoons in the beer garden, summer also brings with it festival madness. That time of year when people take one weekend out of their normal lives to let their hair down and cut some shapes in a mud sodden field. As well as music however, festivals also bring with them their very own fashion. Throw together outfits that appear both effortless and super cool. As an example of how easy such an outfit can be to create I have out one together using easy to find pieces from the high street.
