Tartan vibes!!!

So the weathers been a bit crappy this week and I've been finding myself back in the darker side of my wardrobe. Where is this heatwave I heard rumours of?! I'm going to Brighton next week for a few days and the weather forecast isn't looking too fab, I really hope it brightens up. Especially as I'd love to get some good pictures to blog, nobody likes a rainy beach!!

So this outfit is quite dark and a little wintery to say it's supposed to be summer. My hair is quite faded and has major roots as I took these just before I redyed my hair so sorry about that. I've been wearing headbands quite a bit as the front of my hair has snapped off (cry face) so I'm trying to not touch it and hide it as much as possible. I love this fab green tartan one and the colour goes really well against my hair. I did a mini beehive and pinned it up. I went for a clash of tartans with monochrome tartan trousers that are plain black at the back with print to the front. Teamed with a white basic Bardot top and a green chunky cardigan to go with the headband. I wore my new fave platform sandals and white backpack. Finished off with a few layered necklaces/chokers.

Purple haze!!!

A couple of weeks ago I picked up a couple of vintage swimsuits/bodysuits, I love that they can be worn as both. But as I'm not actually going on a proper holiday this year they'll probably be worn as just bodysuits for now. I got this great ribbed purple one with a scoop back from Cow. I'm finding purple is my new fave colour now my hair is orange, it suits me so much more than it ever has before. I wore it with a floral skort and cream lace kimono. Adding to the purple I wore a bindi and vibrant purple lips with my new fave lipstick from Makeup Revolution. It's a liquid to matte lacquer and for £3 it's an absolute bargain. I've ended up picking up a few of these but do want to try and get more colours as they're so great for the price. To finish off the look I went for a beaded choker and silver accessories with my holographic sandals and backpack and metalwork sunglasses.

Twinkle toes!!

So a few weeks back I saw the cutest metallic shoes in Topshop but was too poor to buy them, to my joy a few weeks later I saw them in the sale but they didn't have my size! So I was ecstatic when I was browsing the sale online last week and saw they were available in my size and had now gone down to £7! I added to basket immediately and within a couple of days they were mine. They do them in silver and white too and I love the style but the pink ones are just so girly and princesssy, I'm such a big kid! Socks and sandals/shoes is kind of a thing for me, I have millions of pairs of cute socks and love how they look. Not only that they so stop shoes rubbing, which is always a good thing as whenever I don't wear any socks I end up with blisters all over my feet! So I teamed them with these blue socks with chiffon frill trim. As I'd decided on my sock and shoe combo before my outfit I looked for something with these colours to match, I went for this off the shoulder floral top I got from a charity shop last week for only £1.45! I wore it with my denim skirt and lace kimono, accessoried with a white backpack, choker and sunglasses.

Glastonbury part 4!!!

So its the final part of my Glastonbury posts and all about the last day of the festival. Sunday's are always hard as you've had no sleep, no proper food and lots of alcohol for the past few days. It was also raining all morning making it harder to find the energy to move. We made the trek up to The Park stage and had time to take a few more snaps with the ribbon tower before our first act of the day.




Newcomer 'Jack Garratt' played to a fairly big crowd, he was rather impressive playing an array of instruments and singing amazingly all by himself. It was a short set as he's yet to release an album but it was all about quality not quantity and it was a great set.


Next up was 'Saint Raymond' aka Callum Burrows I've managed to catch him a few times recently and love him. I'm so happy his album is out now, it's full of singalong anthems and perfect festival tracks. 


We'd heard 'Slaves' were doing a secret set on the BBC introducing stage so we headed over to see them for the third time of the weekend. The manatray even made another appearance!


As much as we wanted to see Lionel Richie's set he did clash with a fave of ours 'Twin Atlantic' so we decided we'd watch them then head over for the end of his set. Twin Atlantic were amazing and even though my energy was low and my voice was on its way out they had me singing along to every song.




The crowd for Lionel was ridiculously big so we didn't get a great view and I didn't get any pictures but we did get to hear a few songs including classics 'Hello' and 'All Night Long' and he was fab! After that it was time for 'Charli XCX' at the John Peel stage, I'd only seen her once before supporting Paramore but it was before her most recent album, so I was looking forward to hearing those tracks live. She and her female band were all dressed in a school girl theme playing her poppy tracks running around and dancing throughout, even bringing out a huge inflatable guitar at one point. The crowd was mostly females and everyone was singing along, there was certainly a lot of Girl Power in that tent or as Charli put it 'pussy power'!



We headed back to the BBC Introducing stage for a short set from 'Zibra'. They were really good and I look forward to more releases from them and would definitely like to check them out live again.


Jamie T made his return to Glastonbury after a few years and had a huge crowd over on The Other stage. He played songs from his most recent album aswell as classic tracks from his previous albums. Of course 'Sheila' and 'Sticks and Stones' were the biggest crowd pleasers with a massive singalong and lots of flares going off.


Then it was back to the Pyramid stage for headliners 'The Who' closing the festival. Again it was a huge crowd so we stood further back on the hill so we could see. I'm not a huge huge fan so didn't know every single song but did enjoy their set. They played all the classics and had the crowd singing along. With all ages and generations in the crowd and the sun setting it was a lovely ending to the festival. 



We decided to head over to Arcadia before the set ended to try and beat the rush. 2 many djs were doing a secret set at the spider and a crowd had already grew. We stayed for a bit and watched the show with the lights, fire and dancers it really is a spectacle!


We headed over to shangri la which was absolutely packed to spend our last few hours at the festival. It really is like another world over there with so many things to look at and do. If you haven't been to Glastonbury before then you definitely need to even if it's just to check out this crazy place!






We love a photo booth so had to get a picture in The Unfairground, although at 2am on Monday morning we weren't looking our freshest!


Again I didn't take any outfit photos there so recreated Sunday's look. I wore my lace coachella for H&M trousers with a floral and lace vintage Victoria's Secret cami and chunky shoes. I covered up with a lace kimono and accessoried with layered chokers, a studded bumbag, bindi and glittery lips.

I had the best few days at Glastonbury even though it went far too quick for my liking. I hope you enjoyed my posts and all about my time at the festival. I'd definitely recommend going atleast once in your life. Now the countdown to Leeds Festival is on.... I love festival season!!!
