Top five festival tips

Luxe Models London is a big fan of festival fashion. With the summer season fast approaching they've offered us some stylish tips to make sure you see the festival out with a bang. Who said you can't be sensible and stylish?

001: We all want to look our best at music festivals but it's just not possible to pack 10 lipsticks, 4 blushers, 2 bronzers, 5 concealers and 1 mascara. Streamlining is the way forward. After all we're all aiming for the 'natural' look! Pack some handy facewipes to make sure you don't have any mascara running down your cheeks. That isn't the look we like to go for!

002: With lack of showering and general washing facilities, it's hard to make sure your hair looks stylish. This is where a hair donut can be a lifesaver. It takes ten minutes and voila you look like you've just stepped out of a salon! Make dry shampoo your new BBF. It's amazing for giving your hair a bit off oomph and for fringe fashionistas.

003: Converse may look chic but flip flops help your feet breathe - they also help keep your feet from getting dirty in the dreaded showers. Havaianas are THE celebrity flip flops to have and they come in a range of colours. Go for a bright pair to stand out from the crowd.

004: Finally don't forget to pick up a faithful tote bag to carry all your belongings around. They're lightweight and can fit a mountain of junk. Go for a music themed one of your favourite band. Even better pick up one from the merchandise stand as a souviner.

005: You never know what the weather is going to be like in old Blighty so make sure you pack for all weathers. Take along a snazzy rain mac in case of a shower but also pack a straw hat in case the sun decides to show it's face. Boaters and fedoras get the thumbs up from us. You don't have to spend a fortune on sunglasses, pick a colour other than black to make a statement. Finally don't forget to pack the sunscreen just in case!

#George Style

Last Saturday I attended the High Fashion George at Asda press event with Lily and Aisling to coo at pretty summery clothes - it was certainly the weather for it! I'm a massive fan of George and always used to make a trip to the top level of Asda when I worked in my town before I started. Now i'm working in London I seem a bit out of the loop but this will change after seeing all the beauties at the weekend!

I was very impressed by the clothes on offer. From neon shades - the blazer is to die for - to ethic inspired women's bags, George had covered every trend especially in the women's dresses. I personally love a pencil skirt and the snow leopard print ticks all the boxes. It's the ideal skirt to be dressed up for a night on  the tiles or down for a day at work. I'm not usually a women's swimsuit fan but the tiger print number really caught my eye. It'll be perfect for my holiday next week. These absolutely amazing floral print trousers i'm holding were my favourite item in the collection. Can you believe they're only £12?! I can't wait to get my hands on them.

With the vintage inspired Powderpuff Girls giving me a makeover - I wish I could do eyeliner flicks as good as them! - I was ready to hit Carnaby Street to take some street style pictures. It was the first time i'd ever attempted street style but it wasn't as intimidating as I thought it would. I got a few nos but on the whole everyone was eager to have their picture taken despite having a mad woman chase after them down the street! Sports Luxe seems to be the most popular trend on the streets of London.

Thanks so much to the George crew for having me. It was a lovely way to spend a Saturday!

Keep your head up, keep your heart strong

Outfit:
Cream sleeveless sheer blouse: c/o New Look
Blue Aztec print trousers: Primark
Navy studded slippers: Primark
Beige trench coat: Topshop
Faux diamond statement necklace: Primark

Can I get a hell yeah for managing to bag these snazzy trousers for a mere £5? Gotta love Primark sales eh?! I do love getting myself a good bargain. I seem to have Primark tourettes and shout out 'BARGAIN £5!'. My boyfriend has informed me I resemble a 70s throwback but I love them - i've already worn them twice this week. I wore this to attend to the George at Asda event with Aisling and Lily yesterday. But there'll be a seperate post on that soon! The squinty eye look is not very attractive I know but the sun was everywhere in my garden!

The plan for today is to hit up the bootsale, visit my aunt as it's her birthday and pop down to Southend for the afternoon for some fish and chips by the seaside. It's the first Southend trip of the year - how exciting eh?! You always know summer is trying to rear its head when you take a trip to the seaside.

Are you making the most of the nice weather?
