My Wireless Festival Photo Diary

wireless festival fun, festival outfit idea

For my first festival experience, London's Wireless was incredible! I went with a few of the girls and got to see Jay-z, Miguel, Kendrick Lamar, Justin Timberlake and Clavin Harris perform. This crazy guy wouldn't let me take my outfit photo in peace hehe.

We chose the right shoes for the festival, I think my feet would have been destroyed if I'd worn sandals!

I wore a Topshop T-shirt, I loved the top because it was longer at the back which helps to cover my bum! I dont mind flashing a bit of bottom at the beach or at a festival but for day to day wear I prefer to keep it a bit modest. I paired the top with my Topshop dip dyed shorts and my favorite converses. My mirrored sunglasses were from Primark as were my peace earrings. I'll post an outfit video once I get round to editing my wireless footage!

My beautiful chucks looked GRIM after 45 minutes of stomping around and dancing, I'm not looking forward to cleaning them!  :-(

It was one of the hottest days of the summer so far so I had to change my outfit when my tshirt got too icky! The top was my friend's and I think it was from Next.

There were flower crowns everywhere and I LOVED this gneirl's big head band and the multicoloured tones she had in her hair. Her crown is similar to the one I had in my Lana Del Rey tutorial.

Time flew fast, and before we knew it, Mr Carter came on.

Jay Z was incredible! So charismatic, charming and obviously an amazing wordsmith. I haven't been that much of a fan recently so I was sooo happy when he did sets featuring his old tunes like Girls Girls Girls, Big pimpin' etc, Haven't heard those songs in years! His new stuff also sounded really good so I might be getting a copy of his Magna Carta Holy Grail album. I'm not a fan of the album name but whatevs, I'm looking forward to the tunes. Unfortunately, he brought Justin Timberlake on right after my batter died! Grr!

I had an unforgettable day and can't wait to go to my next festival. I know Lovebox is coming up but any other recommendations? I'm thinking of going to Sonar in Barcelona next year!

I hope you enjoyed reading about my wireless festival experience!

It is undoubtedly the peak of festival season so I decided to share one of my proposed festival outfits! The emphasis is on comfort, hence why the outfit is super casual and paired with low leather converses (Selfridges).  I tend to do a lot of walking and jumping around at festivals so I find it is best to dress as relaxed as possible.

In addition, a slouchy cross body bag like mine is perfect because it keeps my belongings safe and you  dont have to worry about lugging a shoulder bag everywhere! The shorts (Vintage) and the crop top (Topshop) are also typical of any summer wardrobe so I added the fringed vest (Primark) to add a touch of 'boho' to my attire. I don't plan to attend any muddy festivals or I would have paired this outfit with some Hunter boots instead!

I decided to top up the look with a flower crown (Topshop) a la Lana del Rey and voila! I am festival ready! As promised in my last post, here is a full tutorial below on how to recreate my makeup look and hairstyle.
