    M.I.A UPDATE | QUEENBEADY

    leeds festival

    Wow, so it’s nearly two weeks since I went M.I.A on this blog. I wrote a little post on where I was going & a little bit about why here. With a huge wave of Bloggers, it’s hard to get lost in a sea of sameness and I felt like I was floating in and out of that “sameness” myself. I’ve tried so hard these last few years to curate blog posts that don’t just showcase fashion but also have a good meaning behind them, too. Let truth be told a lot of it is down to the fact that I am hankering after a holiday. A long one. One where it’s not just a touchdown visit for a few days or one where I’m working quite intensely with a brand whilst I’m there. It’s been nice to not think about deadlines or what my weekly stats are like, I’ve just lived these last few weeks.

    Making daisy chains, sitting in circles singing music round a camp fire and having a wonderful time is exactly how I used to envisage Festivals before I started going to them. I’ve been going to Festivals since 2008, so some could say I’m an ”old timer” when it comes to being prepared for festival season. It’s a great time, filled with making lots of memories and enjoying some of the best music the world has to offer. By no means am I trying to detract from the wonderful atmosphere that Festivals have to offer you really do have to keep your wits about you in so many ways. I keep getting told that I’m too old to go to Leeds Festival (yikes, I’m only 25. I’m not sure if they are basically saying my life is over or not?) but I am determined I’m gonna keep going for years to come.

    You know when you have one of those moments where you’re shopping and suddenly the room stops moving, all arrows lead to one dress and nothing else matters at all. YOU HAVE TO HAVE THAT DRESS. You know the times I’m talking about, am I right? Well this was one of those sweet moments in time indeed. However, I was in Zara and as much as I love the shop you do need to have a little bit of extra disposable income to afford most things, that, or a super shiny credit card (neither of which I hail to have.)

    Glamping essentials with House of Fraser

    I harp on and on about how I love festival fever. I love being outdoors too. So combine the two together and you’ll find that I’m pretty much in my divine element. The thing about camping though, it’s not really glamorous. Let’s face it? But about two years ago two key words were formed from Glamorous and Camping and thus Glampingwas born. Now it’s not something you would see at Leeds Festival, however, the totty from TOWIE or posh toffs of Made in Chelsea will certainly do it the right ways. But, they have the cash to really go all out. So when you don’t there are some fabulous retailers on the high street who do.

    I think everyone has their little passions and little secret obsessions. For some girls its makeup, for some it’s shopping; well for those are festivals. I don’t think there is anything as liberating as being completely free of prejudice and being able to dress and accessorize yourself however it comes naturally to you. The crowds and music are just mesmerizing, and we somehow all go back to that hippie era where all that was important was peace, love and harmony, and I think that is perfectly depicted in the colourful, flowery and magical fashion style that erupts during festival season.
