Festival excitement!

Hey guys!

Hope you're having a nice monday :)

My friend Paul bought our tickets to Latitude festival yesterday so I am so very excited at the moment! We went last year and it was my kind of festival. So chilled out and absolutely beautifully set up. There were lights and flowers where ever you went and they even have recyclable plastic floral-patterned cups that you can keep if you think they're as cute as I did (be kind to the environment people!)

There's nothing better than spending a weekend in total relaxation, in the middle of a field, wearing a straw hat and absorbing the sun's rays. I also went to beach break last year and had an amazing time!

Foals, Paolo Nutini, Everything Everything and sooo many more! Can't wait!

Smile t-shirt - Topshop

Floral wellies - Office

Straw hat - Faith

Denim shirt - River Island

Anyway, this time of year can only mean one thing - new festival wear! I love the festival preperation almost as much as the actual weekend. It's time to invest in a new straw hat and some comfy loose fit t-shirts and shorts.

I'm keeping my original wellies though. I love my wellies! They were £15 from Office and SO comfortable. I'm quite unfortunate in that I have rather sizeable calves so wellies are usually horrible to wear. But these cut off at just the right point and look great with some long socks underneath them!

I've seen lots that I want already...

Toucan Sam Tank - Forever 21

High-waisted shorts - Miss Selfridge

I pretty much lived in a couple of pairs of these last year. They are so useful - go with everything, comfortable to wear, not too hot - and they let the sun get to my legs.

Floral knot back vest - Topshop

This will go wonderfully with my straw hat!!

Fringe short - Yayer

Not sure I am going to be able to squeeze into these bad boys but I LOVE the fringing. I found this website through another fashion blog and I have to say I am adoring it. It has a gorgeous vintage section with some of the best patterned chunky knits I have seen. If you haven't already you should definitely check it out. Be warned though - it is a little more pricey than the normal high street stores.

Cream bead waistcoat - Yayer

Perfect for protecting my shoulders from those rays. I got so very very sunburnt last year. Unfortunatley I definitely have one of those complexions which is either just extremely pale or so red that I almost turn purple. Although last year the festivals did sort that out a bit for me!

Rare Vintage Floral Playsuit - ASOS

I think this could be just perfect for those slightly cooler, cloudy days! You have to be prepared really, it is England after all. We were so lucky with weather last year but I just know the one time I do turn up with just shorts and a tshirt it will probably be freezing. The beauty of the playsuit also means that you have one whole outfit without even really having to try. It wouldn't go too well with my wellies though...

Maybe with these...

Leatherette Eyelet Flats - Forever 21

Oh dear, looks like the festival season could be a little bit expensive for me! And there is going to be so much more appearing over the next few months. I am sure it will be more than worth it though. Summer is my favourite time of year!

Hope you liked the post today lovelies. It's my actual birthday tomorrow so I probably won't put anything up but I'll be sure to post as soon as I can on Thursday. It's really lovely that there's a few of you following my posts already!

Have a nice couple of days :)
