Festival Frolics

I feel like i've literally robbed straight off of Inside-Out Topshop blog, but when scouring for some new music that i've heard in store I came across these set of lovely beauties. It's not long now before me and the two girls head to V Festival, so to get myself into the spirit of festival fashion I thought I would start with a blog post (so many more to follow!). We all know that- yes, festivals are so about getting so merry you forget what your getting merry for and enjoying live music whilst letting yourself go. However, in almost every glossy you pick of the shelf this season, it will most definitely have a page dedicated to what you should and shouldn't wear at a festival, and how to where it! I will most certainly be taking extreme consideration whilst packing my little (ahem!) rucksack this August.


These four street style images caught my eye because each and every outfit is uber cool (to me anyway). 
I'd love to rock a maxi at a festival, however I do not think this will work well with the farmers green wellies I have stashed ready! The leopard print Topshop shorts along with the see through embroided blouse looks cute with the floral head band, definitely one to pack! The ultimate festival outfit is obviously the shorts, the vest, the Hunters and the checked shirt, right? And lastly, I absolutely love the embellished blue throw over, it adds detail and sparkle to a casual festival outfit, again teamed with a floral headband and effortless bouncy natural hair. Beaut. 

Girls do actually Run the World...

According to Beyonce anyway...Well her style in this music video certainly rules something! Can you spot a trend appearing in most of my recent posts, Tribal essence fashion anyone? This video caught my eye because of the use of amazing chunky tribal-esque jewellery, I'm crazy about it at the minute. A chunky gold necklace mixed with rope adds texture, glamour, and makes a simple outfit look edgy!
Im absolutely dying to get my hands on a head piece also, like the one the bootyliscious babe has on in the first image!

Something Cosmo

Under no circumstances what-so-ever am I a fan of Cosmopolitan (Every month there seems to be another 100 new sex postitions you have sooo got to try or ways to win over a man within minutes, perrr-lease, how many more of those sort of mind-numbingly repetitive articles can a girl take, anyway..) however the stylist of Rihanna's new July covershoot definately has something right. The front cover caught my eye in many ways, (and it wasn't cause I wanted to find out what secret sex spots I had and yes Rihanna is HOT) but her outfit is incredible. Tribal, tribal, tribal pattern overload and I love it!

Shopping List:

Hot Hot Pink Shorts/Skirt
Monochrome stripe fabric for belt
Aztec Crop top
Chunky spike and jewel coloured bangles.

Global Gathering

Beautiful shoot by Diana Gomez and styling by Hannah Hughes. The mix of medditerranean architexture and a touch of the classy 40's era slash 60's boho (they love throwing in a nice concoction of fashion eras dont they?) is eye tinglingly stunning. The mood created is glamorous yet classy, mysterious yet warm, and it definately makes me want to just throw myself in the glossy magazine and just land on my feet amongst the floral decorated terrace! 

New Blog Idea..

Seeing as I am constantly posting pictures up of my clothing/styling ideas on my white wooden floors I thought about setting up a new blogspot called 'Floorboard Fashion'. Completly dedicated to what I buy in the week, and what outfits I am piecing together on a daily basis maybe, all photographed on the white wash flooring courtesy of my Hipstomatic iPhone camera app to give the photographs that 'edge'. It's just a thought.

Manchester Lovin'

Just a collection of images from a recent trip to the lovely Manchester land. Of course a stop off at Topshop was inevitable, and as I needed a whole new set of make-up (why does it always seem to run out at once?) I thought I would give Topshop make-up a try! They were being very generous...for every three items of make-up you buy you received a promotional gift bag filled with a pack of facial wipes (worth £3), an eyeliner (worth about £6) and some quirky coloured hair grips which cannot be bought in-store.
I decided to try Topshop mascara, a new blush brush and a dark charcoal eyeshadow for the smokey eyed effect. Of course a sneak peak into clothing could not be missed, and I left Topshop owning an icy grey pair of biker style jeans, black vest top (size 16 for the baggy effect!) and the gorgeous tan clogs with golden buckles. Have not yet mastered the clog walk, this could take some time....

Vintage Again, Right?

The Vintage Warehouse, Nottingham. This place is pretty cool. I know I keep blogging about it but if you have been then you will know what I mean. With the essence of all things 'old', 'renewed', 'past', it literally does feel like walking into the past, like some 80's compound, where any minute a huge rave could kick off. So for those of you who are not from Nottingham I thought I would post a few snaps up on my last trip, this time I didn't pick up any bargain £5 handbags! Boo. Although an nicely styled outfit did catch my eye (v neck stripe jumper and suede shorts).
