It's time for another festival outfit share, as I've said in my previous posts, I can't wait for my next festivals, May, June and August are looking amazing at the moment. If I'm lucky I'll fit in another festival in July as well but I've not booked anything yet. I think this outfit is a good chill day outfit when your mooching around the campsite, shopping at the stalls or partying in the evenings. You can mix it up with different footwear, belts or tees and throwing a bumbag across body will complete the festival look more so!


Primark has been one of my favourite stores pretty much forever (since they were a thing anyway) and they've got some amazing spring/summer items in now with all the festival wear you can think of. This snake print midi dress was a sale pick up, £7.00 reduced from £15.00 and the print also comes in a skirt, vest top and bumbag.


I wouldn't tend to wear this style of dress on its own so pairing it with a tee underneath is totally on trend and makes the dress easy to wear for lots of occasions not just festivals. This black mesh tee is from Simply Be, it's long sleeved but breathable and cool and quite long in length if you wanted to wear this with other outfits.

Who hasn't got a western themed belt this season??? This was another Primark bargain at just £5.00 its the cheapest I've seen on the high street. The buckle does open from each end so it's adjustable even though it is one size, I've added this to many outfits since buying it and it can also be worn on jeans but you do have to undo both buckles for this. If you just want a single buckle western belt, Simply Be has a similar one here.


I finished the outfit off with a River Island bucket bag which has snake print detail on the strap so matches my dress perfectly; my sister gave me this bag so was a freebie. My boots are from Koi Footwear, I featured these in my last festival post but they are so comfortable, I've had them on so much and I think they are definitely a festival fashion piece. Fancy treating yourself to a pair of Koi Boots, grab yourself a 30% discount with my referral link here.

There's a few festivals that this outfit may not be suitable for but if the weather holds up like it did bank holiday weekend then we are laughing! What outfits will you be wearing this summer?

Party season is nearly upon us and I've been thinking about what to wear, with Halloween celebrations, a couple of birthdays then of course Christmas and New Year I need something that is versatile , comfortable and my style!


Que the 'Angelique Purple Twin Set'* from Lindy Bop, this is a dress I can style for any celebration, occasion or event. The team at Lindy Bop kindly sent me this dress to style up and wear during the upcoming party season. Lindy Bop are a vintage style clothing brand who mainly stock vintage inspired dresses but they also have; skirts, trousers, shirts, bags and accessories. If you like the vintage or retro look then I'm sure you'll find something you love at Lindy Bop.


The Angelique twin set is made of a beautiful brocade fabric in my favourite colour, purple and is simple yet screams vintage style. The full swing skirt flows outwards without a petticoat but one can be worn for a full skirt look; I'd wear a petticoat for an evening event with this dress. With a matching crop jacket I don't have to think about what to match the dress with although the dress looks awesome without the jacket also but the colder months mean we need a cover up.


With my other Lindy dresses I found the fits to be true to size but I always check the size guides as some dress styles are different to others, with this Angelique I found it to be quite roomy so it's super comfortable to wear. The fastening is an easy back zip that lets you get in and out of the dress easily then the crop jackets has a press stud fastening with a feature button on the front.


For my styled look I wanted to bring a little bit of my favourite time of year... Halloween into the outfit. I decided to style the dress for a Halloween party but with a little elegance too. Adding a pair of my Iron Fist Boots with the bat wings and this gorgeous headband that came from Kiss Products as a gift; adding a pair of black tights for warmth and I'm ready for the Halloween celebrations.


Next month I have a Birthday party to attend so I could add some sparkly heels and a clutch to complete the look and bring a little more party to the outfit. I particularly like that I can wear the dress without the jacket as I think it looks great without it, the bow detail in middle really keeps the dress looking cute and retro.


I wanted my shoot location to show the autumn weather and nature which I think we captured here at Haigh Hall. I also had the idea of making the photos look a little old as if they were shot on film, I believe this adds to the vintage feel of the dress and the overall look.

As you guys know I was at London Edge at the beginning of the month and I had an fantastic time plus I got to stay the weekend in London. I travelled down by coach which was a long journey but I managed to catch up on some Netflix films. You can read all about London Edge in my post here.

Festival season is upon us and starting this weekend for me; man I’m excited!!! This weekend I’m off to Slam Dunk Festival but surprisingly I’ve been planning outfits for Download Festival at the beginning of June. Festivals are a yearly thing for me and I never miss Download, it’s like a second home to me; the atmosphere, the music, the site, the people and everything else the festival brings really makes it an amazing weekend year in, year out!

Fashion is a huge part of my life and I like to express myself through what clothing, accessories and footwear I wear. I’ve gone through many trends over my teenage years and now well into my 20's and I still came out loving an alternative style.

We are all dreaming of warmer times especially with this snowy weather we've got this week, I'm so over the cold and I'm dreaming of festival season and warmer months. Who wants to sit in beer gardens, go to the beach, have BBQ's, party at festivals and just hang out with friends in the lighter evenings? I sure do and my wardrobe is so ready for some warmth too.

Now we've got the lighter evenings coming back and us bloggers are loving to the extra daylight, I went out on Sunday when it wasn't snowing and was a little bit warmer than its been the rest of the week. I dragged my friends out with me and brought my best friends dogs along for the shoot too. I wanted to kick start my fashion posts for the year and set a routine to go out shooting more, I wanna get my confidence up and be smashing fashion posts out a few times a month.


We headed to the park and grabbed an ice cream first in the cafe, the cafe is also dog friendly so my friend got the doggos an ice cream too; can't leave them out can we. I'd spent the morning trying to put an outfit together but running late and the fact it was Sunday it didn't exactly go to plan... I did however put on my new Tartan pants which I got for just £1.00! Yes one whole English pound, thanks Primark! To be honest I don't really know why they was a pound but my store only had this one pair, in my size so maybe they was a return from a bigger store; still for a quid I was buzzing!


I paired the tartan with a basic slogan tee also from Primark and since I was late to meeting my friends it made for a perfect excuse (jokes). This tee was also a bargain at only £2.50, they have some awesome basic tee's in at the moment, I always have a gander when I go into store. After being at London Edge last month I've been searching for a beret and I found some awesomely cheap ones on eBay, at around £2.49 each I bought a black, red and grey one; I can't believe how comfy they are to wear and they are so on trend right now!


Of course I still needed a coat on Sunday even though it was a little warmer so I grabbed my faithful faux leather jacket that I practically live in during spring to autumn. This was another Primark bargain from ages ago, I'd had my eyes on it from when it first hit the Manchester store but couldn't afford it but thankfully waiting a little bit meant it went into the sale; I picked it up for just £10.00! Every time I wear it people always compliment me on it and say they can't believe it's from Primark. Under my jacket for warmth I added one of my Jawbreaker cardigans, I've become a big fan of Jawbreaker after finding out they have my size; Grin in Liverpool stock Jawbreaker so I managed to get this cardi for £9.99 which I thought was a decent price.


The only thing I was wearing that wasn't Primark was my Fenty X Puma's that I got for Christmas, I was so shocked and pleased when I opened these on Xmas day, I hate to use the saying but "the boy did good". They are super comfy, have an alternative look to them with the creeper style sole and can be worn with so many outfits. My makeup of the day was kept simple with a smokey eye using my UD Smokey palette and a red lip using Lola Makeup matte lipstick and liner (check back this week for a review on Lola Makeup).

This was probably the most thrown together outfit, shoot plan and dogs aren't that easy to work with, trust me but it was good to get out and shoot with the help of my friends. I really need to do this more, I've got loads of outfits actually planned and I've been location spotting in Manchester. So what's your plans for Spring?

February is one exciting month for me especially since I get to attend London Edge! The first show of the year with another happening in September usually. Edge is an alternative trade show, showcasing loads of different brands from fashion to beauty to homeware to accessories; it truly is one of my favourite events of the year!
