Festival Inspired


It doesn't take much to connect short shorts paired with boots with festivals. Shorts are the ultimate essential when standing in a crowd of people in a field, cider in hand and music blaring.

Festivals are weird, aren't they? I went to my first festival a couple of weeks ago and I was not prepared for the sheer volume of people, not to mention the amount of times I heard 'Alan', 'Steve' shouted around the campsite - (if you don't know, watch this). It's 4 days of drinking endless cider (starting at 10am), becoming overprotective of home (your tent and camping area) and listening to great music with 49,999 other people. It was great- apart from the obvious no showering and the dreaded portaloos.

What I loved other than the music, was the outfits. Festival fashion is second to none- it's fabulous. The outfit above was one of the more toned down looks I saw but none the less it was perfect, comfy and transitioned from day to night with ease.

These tropical print shorts are such a nice shape, the slight outward frill along the bottom is a great way to make your thighs appear slimmer. The wider leg makes for a more movable and comfy wear- essential at a festival. Pair with studded boots to move away from beach holiday and more to festival, with the added bonus of being comfy!

Take inspiration from Tommy Hilfiger and customise your denim jacket with badges to add fun and personality to your outfit. Shop Wild Violet do some really cute pins and badges! If you would like 20% off use the code - SAMXVIOLET at the checkout.

Going: S O M E W H E R E


Sundays are the best day of the week especially if you spend them by the seaside.

The key to nailing beach wear in April is layering. Living in England we don't know what will happen, especially at the coast...it may look sunny but it was very windy. Layering a shirt, jumper and jacket are good because you can take layers off if the weather gets warmer whilst you're out.

I've wanted a slogan sweatshirt for ages but found they were all a bit over-priced for what they were. Until I found this one on Mango in the sale! It's simple, comfy and looks great when layered over the top of a collared shirt, I feel like I've walked out of an Abercrombie advert (I wish...). 

Double denim is a trend I've always loved, a denim jacket is so easy to wear. Go oversized for a more effortless, comfy style. I find tighter denim jackets are a bit uncomfortable as denim is a stiffer material. Also, for layering a baggy fit is better.
