Next Festival Fashion - Creamfields Clobber

If you aren't already aware of this, Next have a blogger network. I really recommend signing up to it, it's a great place to source and read posts from more like-minded bloggers (http://nbn.next.co.uk/)

What I really like about this site is Next produce noticeboards to give you inspiration and opportunities to respond to these with your own posts. Their recent festival post caught my eye so I've created my own edit of Next.co.uk products to create my ideal festival look.

My favourite festival in terms of line-up this year is definitely Creamfields (especially as my birthday would be during the festival) but money constraints of a student make this impossible (next year aye!). So I've tailored my festival look for Creamfields, dreaming as if I could be there.

Essential Dress £26 - This dress is ideally comfortable, easy to move around in and aids you with using the loos (I made a horrendous mistake of wearing a playsuit at Reading Festival last year which was the epitome of incovenient!) The navy stripes are timeless and the lace on the back adds a summery edge.

Leopard Print Wellington Boots £24 - Wellies are an essential for any festival, but I think Creamfields in particular seen as it got cancelled halfway through last year due to the rain!

Sand Suede Western Bag £28 

Neutral Cut Out Strap Watch £22 - To make sure you don't miss your favourite acts!

Black Leather Dip Buckle Belt £12

Metal Rim Tortoiseshell Effect Glasses £12.50

Feather Dangle Earrings £8

Accessories are key to any festival outfit to add to the relaxed, carefree atmosphere that festivals exude.

Parklife Festival Pick

So I only just got my photos developed from Parklife festival last weekend at Manchester. The sun definitely had its hat on for the duration which was a bonus to the ace music line-up, company and atmosphere! 

I did notice that a lot of effort had gone into the set at Parklife, it was so scenic! Ferris wheel, giant bluebells, massive coloured flags, it was perfect! Wish this could be relived every weekend, was over too fast!

Here is my favourite festival pick that I wore.

Hearts & Bows Semi-See Through Paisley Print Top £12.99
eBay Tortoishell Sunglasses (old)
Vintage Belt
Primark Rucksack £9
Topshop Denim Shorts £34
New Look Leopard Print Flatforms £12.99

Good sunglasses are such an essential for festivals (although are extremely susceptible to being broken, at Reading last year I managed to break THREE pairs!) This tortoiseshell style has served me well. I opted for a sensible footwear option with the comfy flatforms, I would have loved to have wellied-it but I didn't think it acceptable in sunny weather and would've looked a bit of a twat.

Wish I could afford to go to another festival this year but student life has bled me dry of money.
