Glastonbury starts tomorrow and we are green with festival envy because we are not going! 

For me Glastonbury when I went was an excuse to wear anything I wanted and loved no matter how OTT and fit right in! Festival fashion has been massive this summer and we have already covered it in various recent posts but we feel like Glastonbury needs addressing in true royal style... After all it's the queen of all festivals!

After Coachella and Topshop SS launching a special Festival collection I felt this years festival style is more dressed up, embellished, washed out and tonal with all white dressing playing a big part. It's all about buying into those statement festival pieces; the fringe kimono, washed ripped denim, feather headdresses and embellishment. With ethnic influence always playing a huge part in festival attire I always look to Vanessa Hudgens and Kate Bosworth for true festival style. 

My look is tonal, embellished and all in the details. I stuck to a black, gold, cream and brown colour palette and felt the look was a bit more dressed up and grown up which I think is perfect for the season and for Glastonbury. 

Let's talk details... The skirt I found on ASOS Marketplace and have I been looking for this kind of ethnic elephant print after seeing it at Coachella. Good old vintage finds always pull through and mean there is no chance of anyone having the same. I love that it's a maxi skirt as it's so easy to throw on and wear at festivals! Mink Pink have brought out a dress in a similar print recently If you enjoy!

The top was a present and a very good one- fringing, beading and velvet all together what more can I ask for. The accessories brought everything together I chose a long fringed crochet bag which I still cant get over it being £6! It's a perfect festival bag and adds texture and interest to your festival look. My big floppy hat made a statement whilst still being subtle and tonal. I always love it with round sunnies! I wore my elephant earrings which I thought add a little interest behind my hair and match the skirt perfectly. I always love to wear ethnic head accessories and bindis at festivals so ran with the gold theme!

Whatever your style- the festival season is the way to show it off! Especially when this year things like OTT floral crowns, feather headdresses and Topshop angel wings came into play! Are you heading to Glastonbury this week? If so what's packed in your rucksack?

Please pack me and Amy! x

Naomi's Week In Style

Now that Barcelona is over I am focusing on the next of this years adventures... Bestival! There is nowhere I feel more at home than at a festival sporting lots of colour and embellishment- so sorry if this week in style is a bit eclectic and mental but I have gone festival crazy since Barcelona! The product around for festivals at the moment is wonderful and it's been the strongest year for festival fashion after Coachella and Topshop launching their Kate Bosworth festival collection. I look to Vanessa Hudgens for outfit inspiration where everything ethnic is the rule! Bindis, floral crowns, angel wings and over the top accessories are playing a big influence on festival season 13 so I have done a separate collage just for those extra little details that will make you stand out from the crowd! Enjoy x 

1. Oh My Love Vintage Sunflower Skirt & Mesh Crop Top

I enjoy this whole outfit! The skirt is a reclaimed vintage skirt made with sunflower material and the mesh crop top makes it look more grungy! Team this with black chunky boots a fedora hat, sunnies and an oversized leather for a perfect day festival look. 

2. Mink Pink Rainbow Lace Top & Skirt

I love a little co-ord and this would look great worn with a bindi, bumbag, chunky boots and oversized parka jacket. I love the rainbow colours and think its a cute little ensemble to stand out from the crowd 

3. Oh My Love Lace Maxi Jacket

Things like this are perfect festival attire especially to wear over shorts and a top and still look cool! For day to night layer over a long fur gilet to keep warm but so the lace sleeves still are on show. Kimonos and cover ups like this are must have English festival items! 

4. ASOS Floral Jumpsuit

Total flower power! This stunning jumpsuit is the ultimate festival piece and is so sixties! Team with a oversized parka or kimono, big round sunnies and floral headband. 

5. ASOS co-ord 

The print of this co-ord is perfect for festivals. It comes in a matching jacket, shorts or skirt so pick and choose as you prefer! I love the jacket and shorts and can imagine a little crochet top underneath with layers of ethnic jewellery and head wear. The fluid cut rather than structured co-ord makes is easy to dress down or up. Wear denim or leather gilet over the jacket to layer up. 

6. ASOS Cape Top

The image of this top persuaded me instantly to purchase it! I love the simplicity of the top and the shape is amazing! So easy to style up with black hat, back boots and vintage denim shorts. The top is such a statement as it is and is so easy to throw on and look festival ready! 

7. ASOS Embellished Gilet 

An expensive but investment piece that is guaranteed to turn heads. A gilet Vanessa Hudgens would be jealous of and a perfect way to make a statement at Bestival! Throw over a baggy vest and denim shorts for the ultimate festival look.

8. ASOS Eye Body & Ombré shorts 

I love the colours in the body and shorts and think this is a great night time festival look! Throw on a black kimono, boots and bindi for a rainbow ethnic look! 

9. Oh My Love Kimono 

Stunning print on this new kimono and at £35 it looks a lot more expensive! Wear exactly like the photo with Bralet, shorts and ethnic jewellery for a hippy festival chic look. 

Now lets talk accessories.....

1. Ebay Floral Head Crown

Floral head crowns are everywhere this year and now available on eBay and in cheap high street stores like Primark there is no excuse not to rock one! I love this one on eBay with the diamanté forehead detailing! Perfect for Bestival!

2. EBay Feather Wings

Since Kate Bosworth Festival collection Angel Wings are a must! grab yours on eBay for around £5 in any colour you wish! 

3. eBay Floral Sunglasses

I brought these for Barcelona and I love them! They are all different colours so you never get 2 pairs the same and at £2.50 what a perfect companion for festivals! Flower power! 

4. River Island Festival Head Dress 

My feather headdress collection is extremely large and my newest one from River Island is my favourite! River Island are great for festival accessories so head into store for ones like this brown one! 

5. eBay Ethnic Headband 

Headbands like this look great with ethnic festival attire and are really cheap! They add something special to your outfit and for around £6 are cheap! 

6. eBay Ethnic Jewellery 

Use sites like EBay and Etsy to find vintage one off pieces that no one has and remember to layer up with necklaces long and short to create interest. 

Back To Black - Naomi

Warehouse Fur Gilet, Topshop Lace Maxi, Choies Black Cut Out Boots, Primark Eye Earrings, Vintage Ethnic Necklace, Vintage Disc Belt C/O- my Mum

Lace is something every girl owns and is great for creating texture to your outfit and making you feel super feminine. Think of new and imaginative ways to wear your lace pieces this summer whether it's layering them over or under something or playing up the sheerness of the fabric. Be inventive with your choices!

For this look I went for a bohemian feel (a look I am definitely experienced in!) The black lace dress is a recent Topshop purchase and is fabulous for layering over shorts and a crop for an ultra sexy festival ready look. I wore it here with denim shorts, chunky black boots and my very furry gilet which gives it that bohemian goddess feel. Lavished in turquoise and vintage accessories it's a look I feel the Olsen twins would be proud of. Of course my 'get out of bed hair' was part of the look ;-)

Take note of the stunning belt which was my Mum's when she was my age, a belt which I have grown to love and looks great with my bohemian style.

However you rock lace this summer be sure to rock it at Glastonbury, Lovebox or Shangrila and make sure you are inventive- mix it with denim, leather and prints for a beautiful textured masterpiece! 

Naomi's Week In Style

Hi Everyone! Sorry for the print overload this week (you must know me too well by now!) I'm full swing into festival season and I am heavily buying into printed and silky fabrics in washed out colours that make me feel super girly, floaty and look great layered up with fringing, flowers and boots. I hope you enjoy!

1. Topshop Festival Collection Gilet, £295

If only I had this much money! A perfect gilet for festival season especially in England! The detailing and sheepskin make this the best £295 you will ever spend. Kate Bosworth looked super stunning rocking this at Coachella- a definite must have for the season ahead!

2. Prada Floral Glasses 

A-MAZING! They come in glasses aswell as sunglasses in black and tortoise shell- i'll have one of each please! I saw these in Selfridges window earlier in the week and they stopped me in my tracks. A Tdefinite showstopper pair of specs!

3. Topshop Spider Floral Silk Jumpsuit, £60

A possible for the up and coming Company Blogger Awards we are attending! This gorgeous blue print also comes in a matching kimono. The fabric and cut of it is simply gorgeous and perfect for work or to be dressed up!

4. Topshop Cream Floral Headband £14

Since I brought my first floral crown a few weeks ago, I have become slightly obsessed. This plain one is perfect for daywear. It's still oversized, but being plain makes it more simple for the day/work but still adds alot of impact and wonderfulness. 

5. Topshop Tie Dye Fringe Maxi £35

How stunning are these pastel tie dye colours! I love the fringing on the bottom aswell so festival chic- also great for layering up with a jumper over the top and parka jacket. Oh don't forget the floral crown, big chunky boots and lot's of boho jewellery! Perfect! 

6. Topshop Pink Sunset Kimono £36

Missoni inspired, this kimono is a cut of the price yet you can still look on trend and fabulous! Perfect to throw over your bikini or worn with shorts and cami. Accessorise this up to make it really amazing. Clinch it in at the waist with a belt, layer lots of jewellery, or wear a bag across your body with wedges and a floppy hat. Whatever you choose to team it with you will do it in style with this stunning piece!

7-9 ASOS Africa Collection - Co-ord 60, Dress £50, Jacket £45

African prints are one of my weaknesses and this new collection from ASOS certainly makes me weak at the knees! First of all the stunning black and white kenga print co-ord- throw on a denim jacket, kimono, boots and sunnies and be good to go. Secondly the print on the Dress and jacket are stunning and the shapes look like they would fit amazingly. All good value for money and perfect additions to any girls wardrobe for SS13. Now all we need is some sun so we can rock them! What's your favourite piece from the ASOS Africa collection? I would love to know! 

Field Day - Naomi

Topshop Fringe Dress, Topshop Fringe Kimono, Topshop Adonis Boots, Primark Tan Bag, Accessorize Gold Belly Chain, Freedom at Topshop wooden earrings, Primark Feather Head Dress

Nothing beats festival attire and this year festival has took a whole new approach than the mad clashing bright prints. Think tonal, washed out and all white dressing which is all a about the detail and layering. Wear white lace, fringe, tassles, embellishment, denim with tan accessories and you will be good to go!

Topshops new festival window which also sports the white festival dressing and huge feather headdresses willl get you super excited for the season ahead! Since Coachella I have been lusting after everything festival and with the high street bringing out the most amazing product I just can't resist. Read my week in style where I have done a whole wish list on my festival needs.

Where are you heading this summer- Glastonbury, Field Day, Bestival, Lovebox or Shangrila? Isn't England amazing for festivals!!! Wherever you are going make sure you do it in true festival style.

I'm heading to Sonar in June and then Bestival in September so my festival wardrobe needs to be on top form- staples like the kimono worn in this look will go to both and offer endless amounts of outfits. I tend to look to eBay for one off vintage finds that no one will have, like my elephant waistcoat in post *California Dreaming*

Buy into statement pieces like a embellished kimono or short that will make your look feel so much more premium. Choose your prints wisely and stay away from cheaply printed Aztecs, go for embroidery, beading and crochets and keep accessories to a minimum but with maximum impact like a feather headdress, bumbag or floral headband.

This is one of my favourite looks and how I feel most confident (in a field, covered in fringing with a cider!) For more festival inspiration head down to your nearest Topshop or look at style photos from Coachella and start planning what's going to be in your rucksack for festival season 2013.
