A Sprinkling of Festival Fun

The hot weather arrived and we had a taste of summer. In classic, Brit-style we ditched our (semi-sensible) spring wardrobe and took to the streets in our fave Birkenstocks and newly purchased midi smock dress, while the group chat went off with all things festivals! In hindsight, ‘forgetting’ to apply sun cream was a bad i​dea but it wouldn’t be an English summer without a few rouge shoulders, right?! Either way, it’s  totally put us in the mood for the festival party season, so we’re going all out on colour, sass and sparkle on our bakes this summer,

​Whether you’re a newbie to festivals or an old dab hand, everyone has a ‘type’, and let’s be honest, when you’re forking out for a weekend pass (when did festivals get so spenny!?) you want to get it right. No one wants to be stuck in a mosh pit that they’re unfamiliar with, exactly as you don’t want to feel out of place wearing your fave bucket hat. 

So, what do your favourite sprinkles say about your summer vibes, this festival season? 

​Rainbow 
You’re a Bestival Bae; wearing the new Suburban Heights range from Elsie and Fred, you’re usually found raving to a House Gospel Choir with people you just met by the cool burrito stall…'Why am I still carrying this inflatable UFO?
​
Blush
You’re a Wilderness Weekender; covered head to toe in Gypsy Shrine jewels, you feel (and look) like a GODDESS. Your outfit (which you’ve been planning for months) looks so good that you’ll spend the weekend filling your Insta with creative shots with your gals.. #freethenipple
 
Intergalactic
You’re a Glasto Gal; looking for an ‘out of this world experience’ you’ve gone big (having taken the whole week off work) and you won’t be disappointed. Missing out on last year just means you’ll have to make it EXTRA worthwhile this year.   
 
Zillionaire
You’re a Reading & Leeds Raver; looking for something a bit more hardcore, you’ll have a new bucket hat for each day but still bring some glamour with subtle sparkles. If you make it through the weekend, it’s a bonus. Go hard or go home, right?!

​Let’s be honest, wherever you end up this summer,  make sure you’re armed with the festival must-haves..

• ​If it’s sassy, girl-power clothing you’re looking for, then our pals at Galdem Garms (@galdemgarms) have got you covered; think neon tank tops, holographic skirts and fluffy kimonos. Amazing. 

• If you’re bringing the sparkle then there’s only one place to head to, because, once again, The Gypsy Shrine (@thegypsyshrine) are NAILING festival season. Not only have they got THE BEST glitter around, we absolutely love their new guilt-free bio-degradable range and they’re fab new hair extensions; giving us all the festival feels this summer.​
• Or, if you’re looking for jewellery to WOW, then look no further than No Basic Bombshell (@nobasicbombshell) who bring us ‘glitter accessories for babes who love to sparkle’ and we LOVE IT.

​And finally, if you can’t go to the party, then bring the party to you this summer. Give our festival bark and superFREAKshake ideas a try and let’s fill this summer with colour!
