OOTD/N - Leopard lovin'

An easy and colorful outfit for those hot summer days - And nights!

I wore this a few weeks back to a friends BBQ and thought it a great example of how to channel summer trends in a slightly more subtle way.
This top I purchased at the end of summer sales last year, for a good price in awear. I personally have great luck with their sales - and usually come away with something trendy or versatile.

I actually have this on backwards as there is a zip detail on the intended front, which I don't particularity like. However the back straps make for a more interesting 'cut-out' style when worn this way. The colourful lepard print makes this top a summer essential and a statement for the outfit.

I have it teamed with this black demin shorts from Urban Outfitters. These strap sandals and neon clutch both from pennys. Both are bang on trend this summer and when they are cheap as chips in pennys everyone can follow even the trends while saving some dosh!

FESTIVAL SERIES - LOOKBOOK

So this is my first step back on the YouTube scene! And how do it than with a LookBook!
Featuring both new and slightly older items, I with the help of dear friend and definite fashion fanatic Emily, created this lookbook to inspire you this festival season.

I've been to both a festival at home, here in Ireland and the Netherlands. They are worlds apart, and not just geographically. Some looks suit purely foreign festivals as they are light weight, high summer looks, others can be layered for the unexpected weather changes of Ireland, England and other cooler climates.
I definitely wouldn't wear a maxi skirt (or at least not one you care about) to any Irish gig/concert/festival. I would also consider wellies or sturdy waterproof boots an essential for Ireland! Even with all our recent good weather, the ground can become very sort with thousands of people trudging across it.

Remember this is just an inspirational piece and using your own creativity at a festival is great. It a good place to experiment with looks and fashion ideas you enjoy without the constraints of everyday wear clothing.
