The festival season has officially kicked off with Isle of White last weekend, and what a start it’s had with amazing performances from The Strokes, Florence and the Machine, Jay-Z and a stunning set from Paul McCartney who closed the festival.
So with Glastonbury, V Festival, Reading and Leeds, Lovebox, Field Day, Bestival and many more still to come, the big question is what are the essential things to take to a festival? Well, stop your worrying, here they are:
oWellies – never leave without a pair, gladiators in the mud and a trip to toilet just ain’t going to cut it.
oLong socks – practical, to stop any rubbing from wellies, but also warm and the epitome of festival chic.
oOversized sunglasses –to hide a multitude of sins from the night before
oFedora/Panama hat – perfect for the sun or to cover from the formidable English showers. Channel that inner boho. I’m loving Pachacuti for the perfect Panama.
oDenim cut-offs – Effortlessly cool and if you can’t rock them at a festival when can you!? I’m getting my holiday skin at the ready in preparation first though...
oLong-lasting make-up and nail varnish – As let’s be honest, I have every intention of taking my make-up off and re-applying it and my nail varnish when necessary but when I collapse in the early hours high on Florence et al it may not happen. Honesty is the best possible.
oHairband – A weekend without straightenerswill take its toll, and that’s not even going into hat hair...
oGlitter/bright lipgloss – If you can’t experiment with glitter, fake lashes and neon pink lipgloss at a festival, when can you?

We are officially enjoying the start of summer and so I have begun to search for the perfect festival outfit. Whilst browsing on asos I think I found the epitome of festival chic. This on-trend khaki playsuit is fantastic, it can be dress up with wedges, or dressed down with flat sandals, and worn with stacks of bangles all ready for the summer circuit.

It is that time of year, Glastonbury is finally here again! Sadly I won’t be there to join the festivities as I get my act together and purchase a ticket in time however I will be tuning in to all the coverage. I can’t wait to see Neil Young and my favourite Britpop boys Blur.
However I have compiled a top ten list of festival essentials for all of you going to Glasto or any other festival this summer:
Bright Nail Varnish preferable in bright orange or yellow. For the perfect shade of canary yellow try Nails Inc’s ‘Carnaby Street’ – easy to apply, chip resistant and the colour of the summer
Dry hair wash – the perfect solution to the non existent shower problem
Fedora – keep off the sun, rain and look effortlessly stylish in the meantime
Cut-off denim shorts – the epitome of festival chic
Over-sized sunglasses – the bigger the better, channel Jackie O, coloured frames are always a favourite
Jewellery – pile it on heavily for bohemian chic
Lip gloss – work bright pinks and reds
Wellies – a given for the British elements
Dry hand wash – essential for all festivals
Berocca – energy tablets to ensure you don’t miss a thing
