FESTIVAL STYLE WITH ANTHROPOLOGIE

Now the sun is shining and the days are getting longer it can only mean one thing, festival season is on its way! One of our favourite things to do with family and friends is spend long weekends hanging out listening to music, dancing, eating outdoors and watching the embers glow as the light slowly fades around the pit fire. It's a great chance to go slow and enjoy being outdoors, without the rules and responsibility of everyday life.

One of the key decisions on anyone's mind when going to a festival is what to wear? The age old dilemma of will it rain or stay dry, which dictates whether I'm lugging around wellies and waterproofs or hanging out in cut-off shorts and a vest for a few days. When I came across this stylish denim playsuit from Anthropologie I knew it would be perfect for any weather.

Apart from the big festivals we attend, like End of the Road and Just So festival, we also love staying local and often check out the independent markets and pop up food festivals around Bristol. Who doesn't enjoy testing out tasty food right? So we recently headed down to St Nicholas Market, surrounded by the smell of spices, fresh smoothies and baked goods, to grab a coffee and pick up some ingredients to make a lemon polenta cake while rocking my new denim look.

When spending the weekend in a field, this Level 99 Chambray Playsuit can be teamed with wellies to keep you dry or flip flops for that sun kissed look, and with something this cute you can dress it to create a breadth of styles. The light denim tones are cool for summer, and the drawstring waist detail and deep pockets teamed with ankle boots create the perfect casual look. Additionally you can add a touch of Bohemian elegance with these Rainbow Moonstone drop earrings.

FEEL GOOD QUICK FIX // MAMA LOVES

Sometimes those poor things on the side of your head are completely overlooked in the dressing up stakes, destined to be bare while the face gets all the action. After all, a tired mama can easily go out armed with the sunglasses and red lippy combo to get them through the day on zero sleep. Ah the tools of the trade. But what about those times when your third day of dry shampoo just isn't cutting it and you're not quite ready for the stark reality of a pulled back pony tail, because all you want to do is hide behind your locks? It's time to invest in some super studs, something to make you feel good and draw attention away from the dark circles that you've been hanging out with. I'm loving these delicate gold triangle earrings from Sarah & Bendrix, a snip at only £12.

What's your feel good quick fix?
