Strawberry swing :

I love this video, it's so cleverly done... Chris Martin is doing the entire thing on pavement, with animation added over the top. Such a good idea, and it works so well.

Also. Leeds festival is tomorrow...
I CANNOT WAIT!!!!!

Just one of those things :

Sequin shorties. One of those pieces that I saw in Topshop, my heart proceeded to skip a beat, until stopped by my head inadvertently screaming

"YOU WILL NEVER CARRY THEM OFF."


Sienna Miller looked fabulous (as always) when she stepped out in what looked like Bridget Jones pants, even while stood next to the notorious Anna Wintour :




However I'm not sure that I'd get the same reaction. My friend Ashton wore a pair of black sequinned shorties on our night out the other night, teamed with a cream lace leotard and thick black tights. She looked fabulous. Maybe it's something to do with confidence, but I'm just not sure. How would you wear them? Or would you wear them? I'm intrigued. Maybe festival gear... tights, wellies, pants, you know how it goes...

Oh, how could I forget :

This Kate Moss, Liberty print dress for Topshop is right at the top of my festival wishlist.

If A. is reading... size 8 please <3





Love love love love lovvvvveeee it.

Glasto glamour :

So festival season is in full bloom, as is the festival fashion. I always love when the glossies ask celebs their festival essentials... so I thought it'd be fun to post mine.

There are the obvious choices :
1. A pop up tent. Far less hassle than all that tent putting-up business, and lighter too. Winner!
2. GROUND MATS or something to sleep on other than a sleeping bag... just trust me from experience.
3. Batiste dry shampoo - far cheaper than it's pro-hairdresser rivals, and does the same job.
4. Deoderant body wipes and baby wipes.
5. Wellies. Any kind will do! That said, if anyone would like to purchase me a pair of limited edition Jimmy Choo for Hunter wellies, I am a size 5 (38), and would quite literally love you forever. Here is a photo for reference and a link for ease ;)




As I can't afford the £235 that the Jimmy Choo Hunter's cost, I will be sticking with last year's £8.00 leopard print Primarni wellies, which are strangely available from Miss Selfridge for £22.00 this year. Tapping into affordable designer festival wear, however, I'm happy with my new PPQ mac, available from M&M Direct - £10.



Also on my wishlist :
- an amazing playsuit please, floral preferably
- crop tees and high waisted shorts
- print ray bans

Denim playsuit : Miss Selfridge : £38.00
Floral playsuit : Miss Selfridge : £35.00
Memphis flat top sunglasses : Topshop : £15.00
C'est Chic crop tee : New Look : £8.00
Floral tee : Wildfox : see website for prices


Any suggestions for playsuits? And what are your festival must-haves?

Summer Love Love Lovin :

I don't normally blog about music, but I am far too excited by the rumours for Leeds fest '09 to leave it out. The Strokes, forming a comeback this year after multiple solo projects makes me too happy for words; I saw them headline at the 02 festival at Hyde Park many years ago... they were amazing. The best band I've ever seen live. Not stopping the anticipation there, Arctic Monkeys are also rumoured to be making an appearance, as their new album is due out later this year. After seeing Last Shadow Puppets live last year, and watching the 'Arctic Monkeys Live at the Apollo' film, I am sure they will be brill live. Also fuelling the butterflies in my stomach is the rumour that the organisers of Reading and Leeds have begged the Libertines to reunite for this year's festival only. I've seen Dirty Pretty Things twice... Babyshambles rocked the NME stage at last years Leeds, and I love all Libertines' stuff... Please Carl, say yes. In the mean time I better get saving for those coveted weekend tickets.
