What I Wore At... Tramlines Festival

I've recently got back from Benicassim Festival in Spain (a blog post will follow soon!), I had such a fabulous time I definitely didn't want to come home! So to cure the post holiday blues we decided to attend Tramlines festival. Tramlines is a 3 day festival showcasing some of the most exciting bands of the moment in some of Sheffields best music venues.
I was most excited to see Catfish & the Bottlemen but unfortunately they had to cancel their appearance at the event, we did however manage to see many other fabulous bands including; Lewis Watson, The Cribs, TOY and Slow Club!
I wore a Festival inspired look, teaming floaty floral shorts with chunky silver jewellery, as well as the most fabulous holiday sunglasses, to complete the look!!

Blogger Mail... Trixxi Girl Clothing

I was recently very lucky to receive two gorgeous dresses from the fabulous Trixxi Girl Clothing, their Instagram feed showcases some of their best pieces! Trixxi Girl is an American based clothing company who specialise in beautiful girly dresses that can be worn from day through to night!
I was sent two fab pieces, a teal bodycon dress and a black and charcoal sheer maxi dress. I wouldn't usually wear bodycon dresses but I absolutely love the way this Trixxi one fitted on me and the colouring looks really flattering when worn and I loved making it more suited to my style! I love Maxi dresses and the Trixxi one looks fab with the belt that it comes with. I wanted to make it have a festival vibe so I dressed it up with my favourite headband of the moment, my feather headdress from ASOS.
This is how I styled the two different dresses:
Maxi Dress
I styled the Maxi dress with my fab feather headband and my amazing new beaded bag from Primark with my Dr Martens in order to give the dress a festival feel!

Bodycon Dress
I decided to style the bodycon dress as a going out outfit, with a pair of strappy black platform heels from New Look, along with a beautiful headchain from Miss Selfridge and to make the outfit more fitting to my style I added a black lace kimono over the top.

Fallen In Love with... Motel Vintage


I have always been a massive fan of Motel I absolutely love their bright statement prints and their unique styles of clothing! I recently came across Motel Vintage, I am a massive fan of vintage clothing I love going vintage shopping and having a good rummage amongst racks of clothes (Manchester is a particular fave to shop!). I love finding hidden gems and finding pieces I know that nobody else will have!
So when I discovered Motel Vintage I was super excited about looking through the pieces that they had on offer, Motel Vintage source their pieces worldwide which makes every piece truly unique these are then reworked into one of their signature styles to create a truly unique vintage piece with a modern twist!
All of the different styles are absolutely fab, but I love these four styles; The Hannah Playsuit, The Violet Maxi Dress, The Vinnie Dress and The Gypsy Crop. I would love to style any of these pieces for a festival, I feel the unique prints of each piece created by Motel Vintage would look fabulous in this environment teamed with a floral headband or feather headdress and a pair of Dr Martens you can't go wrong!




Motel Vintage have also created a fab SS14 campaign video showcasing the fab SS14 collection! Take a look at the video and check out the fab collection online, and see all the fab unique pieces for yourself!

What I Wore At... British Summertime The Libertines

Last weekend I attended one of the Barclays British Summertime gigs at Hyde Park in London. I went to see The Libertines one on the Saturday, it was an all day event so was very festival like which is just what I needed to cure my post Glastonbury blues!
The lineup was fabulous, so many amazing bands as well as The Libertines, we managed to catch The Enemy, Wolf Alice (from a queue outside the tent!!), Reverend & the Makers, The View and The Libertines. 

I wore a very Festival inspired look, wearing my amazing feather headband I received for my birthday! I can't wait to wear it again at Benicassim next week;

What I Wore At... Glastonbury Festival

This week I came back from my absolute favourite festival Glastonbury, it was my third time attending this festival and was as magical and amazing as ever! With so many highlights and fabulous moments, I decided I wanted to create a post featuring the outfits I wore throughout the Festival, initially I intended to take these photos whilst at the festival but I was having too much fun to spend time get the shots how I wanted them! So I've recreated these outfits at home, clean and mud free!!

Just before I left for Glastonbury I received two fabulous gifts one a gorgeous floral bum bag from Summer Crown and a beautiful floral crop top from Love Red Label both proved essential for the festival and helped create some fab festival looks! The bum bag was the perfect size for keeping all my valuables close by!

Having attended festivals regularly for quite a few years now I decided before Glastonbury this year I would get some Mehndi Henna by the lovely Rachel of Summer Breeze Henna onto my hand and forearm to get into the festival spirit! Combined with my Tie Dye House Of Holland nails this looked fab!


We arrived at Glastonbury mid afternoon on the Wednesday after a very long coach drive in which the driver seemed to get very lost! 
Thursday
My first outfit post is from the Thursday before the rain came! We managed to catch The 1975 at their secret gig! The heavens opened later in the afternoon so my decision to wear this outfit became quite questionable, take note: a maxi dress and mud don't mix!!

Friday
The heavens opened on the Friday aswell as all of the main stages starting, wellies were a must from today onwards! The thunder and lightning got so bad all stages got turned off for about 45 mins! Highlights of today were definitely; Haim, Paolo Nutini and Lily Allen!

Saturday
Tonight was the night the highly anticipated Metallica were headlining the Pyramid Stage and they didn't disappoint the were one of my highlights of the festival along with Ella Eyre who also played the Saturday, both were absolutely incredible! We also managed to catch Disclosures DJ set at Arcadia after Metallicas set which finished the night off perfectly!

Sunday
Sunday was the last full day of music at the festival but probably one of the best, a very emotional Tom led a fantastic closing set for Kasabian featuring a very special guest in the guise of Noel Fielding, who is such a hilarious human being! The weather also perked up on the Sunday so mood all round was at a high!
