The Festival Look

I personally love the festival look. It's a true trend of the summer and will continue to be a trend for many years to come. Although we have very untrustworthy weather here in the UK, the sun usually makes an appearance for most festivals like Glastonbury or Wireless. Therefore, it's time to get your shorts out, flower bands on and you hippy-florals on.

The spirit of festivals and the atmosphere itself at festivals are enough to keep you smiling, but knowing you're wearing one of the most-loved trends should make you even happier! I have some picks from the high-street (mainly New Look as you can shop the Festival Trend online) that I feel fit the Festival Trend.


1. The Kimono - An item that is really on trend this season and so pretty. This is practical yet stylish, it will protect your shoulders from the sun on boiling hot festival days whilst the fringe lace detail adds style and that festival feel. You can find kimonos in nearly every high street store at the moment since they are bang on trend, I chose this coral pink colour because coral of course is back again and it's a lovely, bright summer shade!

2. & 8. The Crop Top - An essential. Whether you're planning on wearing something high-waisted so you aren't so exposed or that you want to flaunt your tummy whilst dancing a crop top is such a good accessory to wear because you can style it in so many different ways! I chose two different styles and patterns to suit different styles and I thought these were the cutest ones that would last many festivals to come!

3. Piles of Braided Bracelets - They're probably the most worn accessories in the Summer because no matter what pattern or colour, they automatically go with everything! They're so reasonable and definitely a staple to accessorize your hippy-chic outfit.

4. Jellies - The 90's legend is The Jelly Shoe and it's back! Because of the block heel they're so comfy and will give you height so you can see the performance better:P Whilst rocking the trend! You can get these in lots of different colours but i thought these baby pink ones were the most versatile and cute!

5. Tribal style necklace - The statement necklace is here to stay! But this time with brighter more pastel colours - perfect for Summer! Any statement necklace completes an outfit and this one stood out to me among the rest so this is definitely my necklace pick for the Festival Trend.

6. Daisy earphones - This is a bit of a silly one because if you're at a festival, chances are you don't need these because the music's so loud:P But these were too adorable to not include and it will get you in the spirit and build your excitement!

7. Floral Ring Band - You need at least one of these in your collection. They aren't expensive and they actually suit everybody! It will brighten up any outfit and even brighten up your experience! Essential!

9. Stylish Wellies - Despite our hope for sun there is always the chance of muddy, boggy fields. You must come prepared. These coral Chelsea Boot Wellies are very similar to my pair that I mentioned before here
 and honestly they are a life saver! I don't need to worry about ruining any suede shoes or boots when it rains because I have wellies-in-disguise (I just made a shoe sound like a Transformer oh dear). So the fact that New Look are selling the same style in coral, well that's just fantastic!

That's it for my picks on the Festival Trend. If you'd like to see more items then feel free to go look at the trend on New Look's Website here. I hope you enjoyed and talk soon! Au revoir!

The Neglected Jewelry Piece

Pendants. Ever since the statement, chunky necklace took it's spot in the limelight I rarely see people wearing lovely long pendants anymore! I do love making a statement, but sometimes It's nice to keep things subtle with the ever-so divine pendant.

To me, a pendant is timeless. Although it may not always be 'it' or on trend I feel that no one will ever make the comment "omg that's so last season" on this piece. Whenever I'm creating an outfit and can't seem to point out what's missing, I 99.7% of the time grab either a silver or a gold-rustic pendant.

I do actually have a Top 3, the pendant's I wear on a weekly basis because they go with absolutely anything and everything!


 In 3rd...


This to me is almost a statement necklace in pendant form because it has so many different little shapes and textures on top of the big rustic-styled heart. It goes with everything and although I don't wear it as often as the other two, I always come back to it - especially in Summer!


2nd...


This is quite different to any jewelry piece I own but I think it's so pretty and unique and is good to add to an outfit to mute down any bold colours slightly because of its worn-in look and colour. This was briefly mentioned on my blog in my Guess What Style series for Smart Casual if you'd like to read what I usually wear this necklace with.

And Number ONE!



There's a running theme of hearts in my jewelry collection - clearly. I think silver just goes with everything, it never fails me and doesn't ever seem to look cheap if it's silver plated from the high street. Having an auntie who's a silver smith has made my love for silver pieces grow more and more over the years and so I will continue to wear silver pendants - even if it's 50 years from now and we're living in a futuristic world where only neon is acceptable.

I hope this has brought the pendant back into some lives again and I shall write to you next weekend! Bye!
