Festival Fun

I'm sure many other bloggers like everyone else around,
is geering up for festival season now summer is finally upon us.
I'm hitting a few fest's this year, one of which being Parklife this weekend in Manchester with some of my best friends from home I'm totally excited for (fingers crossed for sun!).

Here's a few images and polyvore sets I put together to get the festival style inspiration flowing..



Sweet Disposition

Trash & Riot

Sunshine Girls

Some quick ideas of what I'll probably end up wearing!

Like most people I would love to go to the big ones like Glasto
 and Reading ect but camping really isn't something I enjoy and I just can't
justify to myself spending hundreds of pounds on a ticket! Maybe one day..

Has anyone got any tips for surviving festival times? Where do you think is the best place to be this summer?

So first off I apologise for the complete lack of posting!

I had my final big deadline for the end of my first year of university last week so all my focus had been on that for some time. But now its all done and I am free for summer baby! (well apart from still working part time at Miss Selfridge haha).
No doubt this will mean a hell of a lot more posts!

Anyone in the U.K right now will know we are in the middle of a sudden heat wave which is absolutely beautiful! Its so hot I have had bare legs everyday and never needed a jacket :)

The summer is defiantly my favourite season!

Today; My house mate told me I look like Mini Mouse haha

Dress - AX Paris, Blouse with collar (underneith) - Topshop,

Belt - Primark, Socks - Topshop, Shoes - Creepers

Also how fab are my new sunglasses? They are complete Alexander Wang rip offs I got on eBay for £7! A massive difference compared to a real pair which would cost me over £200!

Hope every ones enjoying the sun! x

Ciao Manhattan (1972)

Pale good looks, aristocratic pedigree and restless drop dead charm with a deeply addictive personality, and family shadows that included a predatory father and two brothers who had killed themselves less than ten months apart, Sedgwick had more problems than anyone I had ever met. - Andy Warhol on Edie Sedgwick.

The very beautiful but very miss understood Edie Sedgwick in Ciao Manhattan.

Complete fashion inspiration.

Lauren Conrad's Very Stylish Home

The following pictures are some of my huge inspirations at the moment that I have even printed and kept in a little scrap book! These pictures are from Lauren Conrad's home.

Teaming up with The Coveteur (A website which takes you inside the closets and homes of influential fashion forecasters showing you what culminates in their personal style) you can take a sneak peek into Laurens private inspirations.
I have loved Lauren ever since Laguna Beach and followed her story through The Hills and her fashion labels for Kohl’s and Paper Crown.

These are truly beautiful photographs of a very stylish living space, which I can only but dream to one day have!

McQ A/W 12

I'm late in posting in this and the longer I left it the more I felt like everybody already knew and wasn't worth it, but since I have watched the video every single day since (This is not a lie, I'm oobsessed!) I thought I'm just going to post it so everyone else can enjoy it again too!

So at this year London Fashion Week, McQ had its very first catwalk show. Alexander McQueen’s diffusion has been slowly making its mark on the fashion scene over the past couple of seasons but now as Sarah Burton has taken over as Creative Director (Since the very sad passing of Lee Alexander McQueen himself) McQ has made its way into the spotlight.

They only was I can describe this as a magical theatrical experience. The models donned a mix of military looks, with some sharply tailored coats, leathers, tartans and over-the-knee boots then clashed with velvet and tulle ballgowns and floral feminine patterns. Finishing the show was a white ‘wedding dress’ worn by Kristen McMenamy, She stopped mid-catwalk, where autumn leaves dropped from the ceiling she then crouched to the floor to reveal a long piece of rope. As she pulled the rope and walked back, the plain backdrop opened up a whole forest behind, with a small tree house where she creeped inside. After a few seconds of silence the tree house light up with array of rave lighting and music, the models strutted out of the forest down the catwalk to the beat of the music.

 

I urge everyone to watch this video of the ending of the show. Although it is crappy quality (even though its Grazia) its my favourite version of all the video's of it on youtube. It gives you the feeling like you're almost there experiencing it yourself and I never ever get sick of watching it.

McQ is definitely one to keep your fashion eyes on!
