First of all, whatdafuqiswiththisweather? I’m pretty sure everyone has turned to someone these last few weeks and asked the same question. I for one am totally not digging this weather. AT ALL. We jetted off to Oslo last weekend and whilst the last day the sun started to shine (yes, and all the while we wore all of our layers and carried a rucksack each. Thank you hand luggage Gods. Not.) the rest of the weekend was pretty drizzly. Then, we came back home and temperatures dip below what they were on Christmas day. Oh yes, you read that right and once again for those in the back. IT WAS COLDER THAN CHRISTMAS DAY.
I’m a classic “does it come in black?” kinda gal! There’s something pretty chic about black purely because it just makes you feel really sophisticated and classic (& sometimes hides that extra potion of chips a lil better, Y’allll know what I’m saying, right?) but really, sometimes I just want to show off my my more adventurous side.
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.
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.

Yeah, that’s right. There are my chunky thighs rocking some shorts. I’m armed with cellulite and I aint’ afraid to use it! Housewives of Atlanta Snap in yo’ face
On a serious note, I wanted to put together a more casual feel for a style post as I generally tend to have a more ‘’put together’’ look. So when the lovely team at The Hut got in touch to let me know they had some samples available to trial I jumped at the chance to take part. I love The Hut as it has some real quality brands that are available at an accessible price. I am regularly going glazy eyed over there promotional emails each week. However, this gorgeous purple t-shirt was perfect for the Festival season. Purple isn’t normally a colour I go for but it is quite a transitional colour in to the Autumn month. Oh, and words cannot describe just how comfy it is to wear? So much so (and strike me down for saying this!) but I can’t help slouch around the house in it because it just so cosy.
My new leather jacket was a purchase from Quiz Clothing when I won my voucher at the Blog Yorkshire Event which you can read all about here! My £50 voucher stretched a long way as I managed to blag this leather jacket which is extremely comfy and not too heavy if I just need a light jacket. I also got two dresses for the pleasure, one of which you can also read about in my blog called Bardot Babe!
My shorts were a little bargain from Primark a few seasons ago & of course my trusty Birkenstocks that I picked up from TK Maxx for £20 are an absolute staple in my life. I’m not quite sure what I’m going to do through the Winter for footwear? I’m not sure I can get away with wearing my fluorescent pink Nikes to the office! So, I’d love to hear from you if you have any footwear suggestions for my poorly feet. I suffer from high in steps and if I wear flat shoes they start to drop and the only way to describe it is excruciating pain! So please do get in touch in the comments below!
Now I hope you have had a lovely fix of my wobbly legs and terrible Gene Simmons impression. Over & out!
