Hey dolls, 

Sooo this is a bit late, but better late than never! A couple of weekends ago I went to Wireless festival for my 2nd year of festival fun. I absolutely loved it first time round, so I was quick to snap up tickets for this year when they came out! I saw that quite a few bloggers went to Wireless this year and lots of celebs (I didn't see any though :( boo!) so you have probably seen a few of these posts but I wanted to share with you my outfits that I wore over the weekend! I went down London for the Friday & Saturday and stayed with a friend who lived nearby which was pretty ideal. 

Wireless is definitely the festival for me based on the facts it has all the music/artists I love and it's not camping. Don't get me wrong if it was camping I would still go, but there is nothing better than a shower after a day of mud, sweat and dancing, not to mention the joys of a comfy bed. So it kinda works out pretty well for my preferences. The only down side to the event was the unbelievable heat that we endured all day! Now I'm not one to moan about the weather when it's hot but JESUS it was mad hot! I checked the temperature at one point and it was the same heat as what it was when I was in Egypt - positively melting! Besides that, I was loving life watching some of my fave people including Snoop Dogg, Jay-Z, Justin Timberlake, Trey Songs (oh hello <3), Tinie Tempah, John Legend, Iggy Azalea, Miguel and Kendrick Lemar to name a few!

I had wisely opted to leave the Hunter wellies at home (although I saw some people wearing them, how? I do not know) and brought with me a few outfits to choose from for both days. On the first day I couldn't really make my mind up and ended up turning my Topshop cream dress in to a skirt - oh hey last minute DIY! I had picked up the black and animal print crop top in the Topshop sale and teamed them with my gladiators and gold lion chain from Ebay. 

For the second day I wore my new Rihanna for River Island shorts that I also picked up in the sale for £12 from £25 (total barg) and wore these with my trusty Topshop crop top and some Nike hi-tops. I also whacked on a good old floral head piece as I felt my outfit was a bit boring and voilà, my 2nd day outfit done :).

Did you go to Wireless this year?

Wireless Festival 2012

Hey Beautiess,

Sorry for picture overload, but y'know!

So this weekend has been pretty eventful for me! I lost my festival V and had one of the best weekends I've had since my birthday. Despite not having been on holiday yet this year, I've been pretty lucky and have had some amazing weekends this Summer.

So Wireless, wow. What a weekend. If you know me or follow me on twitter, you will know that I am a huge fan of the R n B genre. I like a range of music but when it comes to a festival, I was unsure whether I would enjoy the ones I had heard of, as I am just not indie enough! However, when I heard the Wireless line up, I knew this was the one for me. Drake and Rihanna headlining, along with Nicki Minaj, Wiz Khalifa and J.Cole. I'm sold! I can appreciate that a lot of people don't like this type of music but I personally couldn't have asked for a better line up for my first festival!

Before I headed down to Hyde Park in London where it was all happening, I obviously needed a festival wardrobe plan! As I have never been to a festival before I knew the most obvious thing is going to be wellies. I have wanted a pair of Hunter wellies for a while now and as we have so much bad weather in the UK, I am guaranteed to get my monies worth! I am mad for the baby pink ones, but just my luck - they were all sold out the week I went to get them. I ended up buying the bottle green Hunters, which were my second choice, as I like the traditional welly colour and I figured these would go with a lot of my clothes.

I searched high and low for a waterproof jacket to take with me (last minute, mind you!) and ended up buying one in Miss Selfridge thanks to Chelsea from Through Chelsea's Eyes ! Ta girl ! It was a bright pink and sure to keep me at least a bit dry. Then me being me, managed to leave it in the bag on my bed. I sometimes astound myself with my stupidity. Anyway, I wasn't forking out for another jacket when I was in London and I ended up buying a Primark special for £9.00! It did the job so I can't complain. Now to decide whether to still keep the Miss Selfridge one....

I opted for my Topshop leopard print dress for the first day, then Levis shorts and crop top for the second day. The weather held out pretty well on the first day, it was just the second day that couldn't make it's mind up. I must have took my rain poncho on and off about 10 times! I didn't manage to get too soaked though, just a LOT of mud. When I saw people arriving in brand new high tops, I genuinely thought 'are they serious?' their shoes must have been ruined by the end of it all!

I was loving the festival fashion. Even though I had never been to a festival before, I had previously loved looking at peoples pictures online of their festival outfits, and couldn't wait till I got the chance to have a go at my own! The pictures above show some of the acts outfits and I was especially loving Jessie J's, Rita Ora and Ri 's festival get up! I can't say I would wear Nicki Minaj's outfit but she pulled it off well and was amazing live.Overall an incredible weekend - I just want to do it all over again!

Has anyone else been/going to a festival this year?

Did anyone go to Wireless festival?

Peace & Love
