FESTIVAL VIBES

The countdown is on! Just under three weeks to go until our train travels to Primavera commence. With temperatures set to scorch during the days and plummet at night, I'm attempting to avoid a last minute trolley dash around Manchester city centre by planning somewhat in advance. 

I'm thinking long loose layers of jersey midi dresses, cropped t-shirts, slinky skirts and printed pants; all wrapped up with my trusty denim jacket (a recent £5 charity shop steal!) and topped off with a goes-with-everything trilby.

All weekend I've been frantically scrolling through Instagram, occasionally muttering impatiently "I wish I was there!" Where you ask? At Coachella, in the heart of the Palm Springs desert - that's where!

It wasn't just the obvious of watching bands that had my heart a-flutter (Violent Femmes, Beach House, Alt-J, Grizzly Bear and New Order all striking a few chords, metaphorically and not-so).

No, it was the brilliant blue skies, scorching sun, pool parties, flowers in hair, arms weighed down with wristbands, neon palm trees, inflatable alligators and awesome summer clothes that I was dreaming of. 

As seen through the rose-tinted (heart-shaped) lenses of some of my favourite Insta-grammers, this was where I'd rather have spent my weekend. 

Greetings From Beacons

The summer isn't complete with at least one festival thrown into the mix. Last weekend, I headed to Skipton in Yorkshire for Beacons Festival that Plank! (my boyfriend's band) happened to playing at.

1. An epic sunset on the Saturday night
2. If any boys happen to read my blog - take note of the wellies-rolled-down trend
3. Epic sunset Part 2
4. Our excellent set-up: camper van, gazebo and tents
5. Plank! live with dancing pig
6. Dreamy ceiling of the In The Woods tent
7. Watching Wild Beasts headline on the Saturday night
