Glastonbury Festival

Unfortunately we didn't get to go to Glastonbury this year and watching Dolly Parton on BBC was definitely the point where you realise you are pretty sad you missed it all. However it looked amazing for anyone that went and everyone looked in high spirits even with the down pours and mud. 

We wanted to reflect on some of the outfits and fashions that normally pop up at Glastonbury. We will always forever love how people at festivals make anoraks look so much fun!

Paris Lees with her incredible miss mash of purples and pinks.

Some cute ladies with lots of different colours wellies, prints and tie dye looking as bright and cheerful as their outfits.

Lauren Lavernes amazing clash of prints.

Our classic muddy hunter wellies with knee high socks. Warm and waterproof!

These glittery floral custom nails for Lilly Allen by Nailsbymh are incredible.

We loved Foxes red two piece.

This necklace is just to die for. Absolutely stunning, we posted a recent one in our outfit of the day from Black Moon Jewellery.

Super cute head jewels and choker.

We love this outfit as it isn't your standard festival fashion. Stunning mint green panels down the side and look at those gold unicorn sunglasses!

Wellies, Denim shorts, knee high socks, messy t-shirt is your classic look but will never go out of fashion, its practical and looks great!

Super cute glittery eye shadow!

Doubled up neon for festivals and summer is definitely one of our favourites.

Cute welly combo with simple printed shorts.

If your going to go for the flowers in your head definitely do it like this. Pinned up perfectly, looks beautiful.

Probably our favourite look is dancing around with your mates, wearing a big smile having the time of your life. 

Here are some of our past outfit of the days inspired by festival fashion:

Monochrome Vs Casual Neon

Our first outfit of the day features our stunning diamond black leggings. These leggings are made from a similar fabric as Black Milk leggings so they have a super stretchy and perfect look. They keep their shape perfectly and they make you look super skinny due to the print running down each leg. We have teamed it with our black sheer 'True friends stab you in the front' t-shirt which we have cut into a vest to give it more of a feminine look. We've accessorised the outfit with a super cute heart 'dreamer' choker from Lunar Made along with new Drop Dead X Itchy and Scratchy 5 panel hat. These Unif heather boots finish off the outfit perfectly and are so easily worn and comfortable, available from Dolls Kill. To finish off the outfit we have added one bit of colour which is this blue python backpack from Mi Pac. Super love this monochrome outfit with a bright blue bag to well make it pop!

Our second outfit of the day is super simple, easy and perfect for a hot summer day. Firstly we have picked our super stunning neon tie dye rainbow denim shorts. These shorts are just perfect for summer, stand out in the crowd and don't have just plain denim, get some neon tie dye! We have teamed it with the plain black bardot top from River Island available for only £16. We have gone with these incredible spikey shoes from Unif available at Dolls Kill, which will be super comfy to walk around in day to day.  As long as you don't sit on them! haha. We have added this absolutely stunning warrior necklace from Blackmoonshop.bigcartel.com which is available for pre order at the moment for just £14.99! We've also added this cute mint green crotchet back from Tillys, California and some cute sunglasses from Shop Moon Child!

Behind the scenes new London Lookbook

As you will of seen on the front of our website we recently released a new lookbook of our first drop of new items. We shot the lookbook in London with London based photographer, Sam Clifford Harding. We used models Hannah Daisey and Kitty Cowell who you may have seen a lot in our posts and our last Summer lookbook. The day couldn't have gone better, the sun was shining and we took a trip all the way from Oxford Circus and finished up at South Bank. The pictures came out amazingly well, really showing the young, fun and carefree style of the collection. Massive love and thanks to Coffin on Cake for letting us use some incredible Cat Footwear boots for the shoot, they are incredible! Here are some behind the scenes images we took on the day! I wish we'd actually been to Las Vegas, haha!

New items

We've been a little quiet of late building our new website and putting together our new collection. However the first drop is now our. Here are a couple of the products which are now available from our webstore! Hope you love them as much as we do, they are super perfect for the sunny weather and festivals we have coming up!

Enjoy!

Holiday Make up tips from Honour Bailey at Maija Make up

We thought it would be great for our blog to get some make up, hair and beauty tips for you guys! We have worked with Honour Bailey at Maija Make up before for our Spring Summer shoot with Tom Barnes. Honour has given you guys some holiday tips when it comes to sun, sea and sand this summer!

1. The holy grail of holiday tips, use an oil free sunscreen of your face because if you burn your face and go red it is extremely hard to cover up for when you want to go out later. The reason oil free is the best to use is that they are usually a lot lighter on the skin and wont clog up your pores or create blemishes.

2. If you don’t want to go completely makeup free for the day tinting your lashes before you go away is a great way to darken your lashes and make them look thicker, & you can also wear a waterproof mascara (some brands I recommend are the double ended L’Oreal waterproof one or the kiko luxurious lashes) Another way to define your eyes which doesn’t involve wearing a lot of makeup is to use a waterproof line and line your TOP waterline.

3. Finally when going out skip the concealer stage as the shade will most probably be too many shades too light for you after being in the sun. Just stick to a tinted moisturiser, some bronzer on the cheeks and around the hairline, and some highlighter on the tops of the cheeks and down the centre of the nose. Apply fake lashes a liquid liner and lip gloss/lipstick.

Outfit of the day inspired by Slam Dunk Festival

Our outfit of the day is inspired by Slam Dunk Music festival that we are attending this weekend! We have attended Slam Dunk a few years before and it's always so much fun, the atmosphere is amazing and the people are lovely. The weather always seems to be ridiculously hot also so fingers crossed it will be the same this year.

Firstly we have gone for our purple tartan leggings for £12 which are extremely comfortable to wear for a whole day event. Also if the weather is super hot and your not too keen on getting your english rose legs out just yet then the cotton isn't very thick so they will keep you cool!

We have added my favourite Skulls and Bones Boys Club T-shirt which will look perfect oversized or if you cut of the sleeves to make it into a vest! We just love it and its only £25!

We have gone with some classic Vans Old Skools in Black and White which you can pick up from websites like Route one, the Vans really are timeless. 

Not sure if it's just us but backpacks are a must at festivals, we find carrying around a handbag full of water, tissues and food a bit of a nightmare so backpacks are always the best accessory for festivals. We have picked this super cute bag from Topshop for just £36. Some backpacks are hard to pull off as you look like you should be going to school but this bag is definitely got the classy handbag vibe but in a backpack.

We have added these cute sunglasses from Shop Moon Child for £14.99 which you will definitely need if the weather is like the past few years at Slam Dunk. Also from Shop Moon Child we have added this velvet pentagram choker for £7.99!

Hope to see you guys there!

Outfit of the day Ying Yang Rainbow

Todays outfit of the day features our wet look unicorn leggings! The leggings have a splash of colour at the bottom and we have combined these colours through the trend of coloured leathers.

Firstly we have our wet look unicorn leggings that you can now pick up at www.jenniferhope.co.uk for only £15! We love these leggings as you can wear them with plainer items and just match accessories to the featured colours at the bottom. 

We have brought in the stunning sky blue colour through this stunning blue leather jacket from River Island. The jacket comes in at £120 so if you aren't prepared to pay that I believe you could easily find a cheaper version as coloured leather is extremely on trend at the moment as well as this shade of blue. 

We have teamed the leggings with one of Become Antiques new Spring/Summer collection which is the gorgeous black Ying Yang print t-shirt. The t-shirt makes the outfit a lot more casual and easily worn. We love the subtle Ying Yang print which is also featured on some leggings and a vest in their new collection so make sure you check it out. You can pick up one of these T-shirts for just £21.99.

Available here: www.becomeantique.com

We have accessorised this outfit with a cute over the shoulder bag from Topshop for just £22. Yet again subtly bringing through the pink of the leggings. We have added one of the velvet Ying Yang chokers from our favourite brand, Shop Moon Child just to enhance the print on the T-shirt.

To finish off this outfit we have added these stunning boots from La Moda UK which are available for only £38! Such an amazing price for a pair of boots that can be worn with so many different outfits.
