Festival dressing 101

So this weekend is Glastonbury and although I am not fortunate enough to be going this year,  I am planning on attending a few of the smaller festivals throughout the summer. My key to festival dressing is planning and layers (I like to make sure I am covered for every eventuality) and as us Brits know, you can never depend on the weather to do what it is supposed to throughout our summers.

So below is my staple go to look for festivals. These Acne boots are just amazing and are on my current wish list and no festival wardrobe is complete without a staple wax jacket and no one does waxes like Barbour. They are the original and the best!

Ooh La La ...

There is nothing like treating yourself to something special, something that is not for every day, something that is just for you. My weakness is the same as every other girl shoes and underwear. This week I went for underwear and there is only one place to go Agent Provocateur. I love every aspect of a purchase, the perfect packaging, the beautiful craftmanship, even the way the receipt comes in a delightful dusky pink envelope!

(Also the photobooks are amazing!)

Sale goodies

Sales love them or loathe them? I am definitely a lover of sales. They are the perfect opportunity to buy key pieces that are bang on trend, such as my new oversized neon knitwear and Aztec lingerie from Topshop. I know I will be in this knit all summer and it will definitely be featuring on some future posts. But maybe my favourite thing about sales is purchasing a classic like my new masculine brogues, my last pair of tan brogues are looking a little worse for wear, so I couldn’t resist updating them with these amazing one from Office. Perfect.

i love bomber jackets (fact)

So I was slightly dubious when it was said the bomber jacket was making a comeback, for those of you old enough to remember the 90's version was not the sleek look being worn today! However I have now fully embraced them and they are definitely a Spring/Summer staple in my wardrobe and this one from Whistles is perfection. Navy - check. Amazing print - check. Silk - check. What more could you want?

The perfect accessories

Accessories are my favourite thing, they make the LBD shift from day to night, they add glamour to jeans and a t-shirt and most of all they are the perfect way to update your wardrobe at a minimal cost. What is there not to love!

Perfect post holiday outfit

So after working through the various mega sales that have started over the past couple of days, I thought I would share with you my perfect post holiday outfit. I have just returned from Portugal and I love this amazing shade of blue against my tan, I have teamed it with Topshop Jargon sandals (a personal favourite) and some statement shorts. Not only does this look great, the whole outift is under £250! You have to love sale time.

My favourite jeans.

So jeans are pretty much a staple in every girl's wardrobe and mine is no different. I am totally addicted to Topshop Leigh jeans and have them in more colours than I can count, they fit perfectly. I have paired these with a gorgeous  Helmut Lang jacket (definitely one for the wish list although now in the sale) and these  amazing boots from Zara. This is pretty much my ideal work look.

My perfect holiday outfit

I have been trailing the internet this past week, trying to find the perfect holiday pieces for my upcoming trip to Portugal next weekend. I try and keep things simple when away, and like my style to be more effortless and relaxed than when I am city bound. This whole look is perfect, the Topshop top is amazing and will not only be part of my holiday wardrobe but is going to see me all the way through the summer/festival season!
