Trippy Tie-Dye

This dress has been another absolute fave of this Summer for me it's been perfect for festivals but also fab for chilled relaxed days. I love the pastel tie dye detailing of the dress, the open back is absolutely gorgeous combined with the on trend boho bell sleeves this dress is simply perfect. 
I do feel that the accessories I have styled with this dress do take it to the next level, the hair chain is an old favourite from last year that I picked up from AliExpress for £3 or £4 and I have worn to death. The silver coin belt is from Primark and looks fab on this dress, I have also styled this belt with Mom style jeans which looks great too.

Playful Playsuits

I am a massive fan of a bargain, isn't everyone? And this Summer I discovered the fabulous Blue Rinse Kilo sales, I've been to vintage fairs before but these kilo sales are something else. You basically browse the many rails and pick out what you want which is then all weighed together so you pay buy weight, £15 a kilo simple. I've only been to the Manchester ones but they are also on in Leeds I highly recommend them, there's always so many bargains!
I picked up this vintage playsuit and this fab pastel green crochet knit from there along with many other items so I think they worked out to be about £5 each?!  Bargains! I absolutely love the bright colours of the playsuit combined with the gorgeous pastel shade of the knit worn with the fabulous Lamoda sandals this makes a fabulous colourful outfit. 
The weather weekend has been so fabulous I truly don't want Summer to end ever please.

Flare Fever

These have been some of my absolute favourite trousers for the whole of Summer as well as this perfect lace kimono from H&M part of their Coachella range I've absolutely worn both to death this summer! I bought the trousers from Miss Selfridge I spotted them in store after I'd had a delivery nightmare and decided I needed them in my life immediately, I believe they did eventually go into the sale too, not sure if they are still available now though.
This style of flared trouser have been perfect for the boho vibes of this summer, no doubt I will still being wearing these in to Winter styled differently and through to Summer again next year. Flared trousers are here to stay! 
I picked up the fabulous necklace I've styled with this outfit in the end of Summer sale at Accessorize, I love a good jewellery sale you can always pick up such fabulous bargains!
I love the boho festival vibe of this outfit and truly don't want summer to ever end, I will be wearing Summer outfits until it snows (or maybe not!).

Pastel Patchwork

I bought this fabulous patchwork jumpsuit from COW Vintage in Manchester at the beginning of Summer, as soon as I saw it I needed to try it on immediately and once it was one I had to buy it! Such a fabulous find! I wore it for Glastonbury earlier in the Summer and it looked fab! I styled with my chunky rainbow Lamoda sandals and the super fabulous Lamoda headpiece I got for Christmas and been waiting to wear ever since!

Daisy Dreaming

Summer is coming to an end but I'm not ready to give up on it just yet, making the most of any sunshine there is! This outfit is perfect for those last Summer days, and is even slightly sensible because of the jacket (not like me)!
The white button down skirt has been such a fabulous buy I'd wanted one for a while when I spotted this one on the Primark sale rail a couple of months ago for only £5 it was the last one in my size so I immediately put it in my basket! Bargain! Worn with the sequin daisy top (which I've owned for years and has always been a summer favourite) and teamed with this gorgeous canary yellow jacket that was bought from a Chorlton charity shop along with the fab bag which was originally H&M. 
I have a love/hate relationship with these white chunky sandals I absolutely love them but worn without socks they absolutely tear my feet a part, I've been scarred for life! I styled this outfit with gold glittery socks that I'd 'borrowed' from my Grandma, not quite sure why she had them but they absolutely complete the look!

Leeds Leeds Leeds... Day Three

Sunday was the final day of Leeds and it was another day of horrible clashes! We had to make some difficult clash decisions! I've been going to festivals for several years now and I've always wanted one of the fabulous head dresses, I decided to take the plunge and buy one this year and I absolutely love it! 
The first band of the day were the wonderful 'Walking on Cars' we reckon the singers voice has a strong likeness to Charlie Simpson so that is always a plus and they were so good live. The only downside of seeing them was I got stung by a wasp (I hate those creatures more than anything) right in the middle of a nice quiet song so I screamed and was running round like an idiot! 
After these there was a rumour that 'Foals' were going to be playing a secret set at half one so we headed over to the NME tent to wait for this and thank God the rumours were true! 'Foals' were on absolute top form! 



'Foals' were followed by 'Slaves' having seen these several times at Glastonbury they have become a new favourite and I absolutely love their energetic sets they are definitely best suited to performing live! We headed over to the main stage for 'Pierce the Veil' where I had to have a short disco nap (I can sleep anywhere!) We then saw 'Circa Waves' followed by 'Wolf Alice' who played a very energetic set as always I can't wait to see them this Autumn! We then went to The Pit to see the end of 'PVRIS' set the tent was absolutely rammed for them, these were followed by 'Royal Blood'. Then it was time for the worst clash of the weekend Catfish and the Bottlemen and Bring Me the Horizon, we chose to watch Bring Me the Horizon on the main stage in the end, as we'd seen Catfish more recently! I'm so glad they did playing songs mostly from their recent albums they played a fabulous set which was made even better by the gorgeous sunset! I can't wait for their Alexandra Palace gig in November!


Then it was time for the main event... 'Metallica', I ended up watching them solo but I didn't mind in the slightest. They are one of my faves and they were on absolute top form. I was right at the front for the whole set and they played all the old classics they even had a cage of fans on stage with them! Definitely one of my highlights of the weekend!!






For the final day I wore a black lace jumpsuit from H&M, probably not the most sensible choice for festivals but then who likes to dress sensibly? I wore it with a glitter jacket I bought from a charity shop whilst in Brighton in the summer, I did only really wear this in the evening when it got cooler because believe it or not it was actually quite warm in the day!
I accessorised with my fabulous new head dress, pink glitter lips and my fabulous mirrored sunglasses.  
Again I wore my Dr Martens because there was still no mud!!
