festivals are quite possibly my favourite things ever. i'll be honest - aside a stint at reading festival last year (and also early bird camping) all my festival experience has been a one day type of thing. that's not to say it's limited - i've been to slam dunk a few times along with smaller festivals. this year i'm hitting up (check me, getting down with the kids) shakedown festival and sundown. creamfields was looking to be on the cards but my friends are on holiday, which did cause a slight issue. 

my absolute dream of a festival would be to go to global gathering, or edc in vegas. i have a great love for house/ dnb music and after seeing andy c live, it's come on even further. sadly, this year is not the year for me to go to either, so i'm drowning my (financial) sorrows on current sales (topshop i'm looking at you)

these are just a few things i found (and possibly added to my basket) which i thought would be perfect for festival weather. the jelly shoes are a no brainer, along with the rucksack. i'm seriously in love with the pattern of it ahhhhh.

the shorts are pretty versatile and are perfect for '25 degrees and listening to some random indie artist i've never heard of before' which could then be changed with nude tights, your best 'festival' shoes (i'm pretty sure that's an oxymoron) and a cute crop top. hence where the denim one comes in! 

the trick with festivals is to learn the art of layering; one minute it could be pouring with rain and the next, 30 degrees. layering means saving yourself the effort of trekking 40 minutes back to the tent, whilst simultaneously dodging hordes of drunken teenage girls and the odd steward. layering a crop top under a mesh shirt, followed by a checked shirt (maybe leave the kimono this time) paired with shorts and (if you're more weather conscious) tights, means you'll be fit for whatever the english weather decides to throw at you!

or, alternatively, go to coachella or somewhere where there's destined to be permanent delicious weather.
