Festival Outfit Inspo

Can you tell I'm so f*cking excited for festival season! I am going to Reading again this year, yay yay! And festivals = summer, which also equals great outfit inspiration. Even if you're not attending any festivals this summer, you can still dress like you are. Here are a few simple outfit ideas - clothing from Motel Rocks and a few simple and interchangeable accessories from ASOS

Cecil Slip Dress in Opium Cream

Dr Martins 2976 Boot in Black Smooth

Warehouse Suede Drawstring Duffle Bag with Tassel

Trip Metal Round Mirror Sunglasses

If you're feeling brave, then this cream dress will be great for a hot day at a festival. The sunglasses and Dr Martins toughen it up a bit, and you can throw on a jumper or shirt if it gets a bit cooler in the evening

Motel Miki Strappy Bralet in Paint Daubs Red

Motel Zoe High Waisted Track Pants in Honeycombe Black Spandex

Vans Classic Black Slip On Trainers

Mi-Pac Bumbag in Perforated Black

At a festival you can sometimes find yourself to be sitting around a lot during the mornings and early afternoon, so these trousers will provide maximum comfiness. The bralet adds a pop of colour, and I find at festivals Vans are the best shoe to wear when you know later on you'll be running all about the place and dancing all night. The bumbag, maybe a bit controversial for some, is a staple for festivals; it can hold your essentials, you have your hands free, and you're not annoying anyone behind you in the crowd with a massive backpack. 

Deena Babydoll Dress in Garden Stripe Black and White

ASOS GONE Biker Wellies

Warehouse Suede Drawstring Duffel Bag with Tassel

Catarzi Stetson Hat with Contrast Band

I am obsessed with this dress and it's boho, hippie vibe. And the hat and duffle completes the outfit. I added the vibrant wellies just to add a bit of colour, and wellies are essential for a British festival!

Sheby Jumpsuit in Moss Green

Vans Classic Black Slip On Trainers

Fjallraven Kanken Mini Backpack

Trip Metal Round Mirror Sunglasses

This jumpsuit is so easy to wear, and again, on cold and rainy days you can just chuck anything over the top. The mini backpack is a great option if you plan on carrying around your essentials and some other bits too (like a blanket or a spare jumper), and as it's mini it wont be to much of an annoyance for others (I don't know if this is just me? But I don't get why people wear backpacks if they plan on being right in the crowd, am I the only one?)

Hope you like my 4 simple festival outfit ideas, hopefully this give you guys some inspiration and is getting you excited for summer!

Let me know what you're planning on wearing this summer & what festivals you're going to!

I Heart Drop Dead

Pretty sure the first time I bought something from Drop Dead I was like 14. It was a pink and yellow baseball tee, with a zombie baseball player on. I'd probably still wear it, if it actually fit - it was awesome. But I'm ashamed to say I haven't ever bought anything else from Drop Dead since. 

But as BMTH fan and follower of Hannah Snowdon on Instagram (Oli's tattoo artist GF, who models for DD & did her own collab collection), I've always browsed their collections. So here is my current wish list.

Bad Luck Jumper//£55

Bleeder of the Pack Leggings//£25

Dark Hand Kimono (Long)//£35

Not Invited Vest//£30

Stripped Dress//£40

Pika Beanie//£15

Black Stabbath 'Iron Man' Kilt//£40

Just a few of their many unique and pretty rad pieces. Definitely check them out if you want a bit of alternative in your wardrobe.

Coat feat Shoes

The weather in England has not been too good the past couple days, and it is making me long for chilly autumn days were everyone is wrapped up in cosy scarves, big coats, lots of layers and more substantial footwear. This post is inspired by my longing for this; as I have begun searching for some A/W winter pieces - mainly coats and shoes. 

Here are three coat and shoe combos - all shoes are from Spy Love Buy

Coat: Missguided - Emila Zip Detail Biker Coat - £44.95

Shoes: Spy Love Buy - Zandro Block Heel Platform Chelsea Ankle Boot - £32.95

Black coat + black boots = perfect A/W outfit. 

Coat: Topshop - Bleach Borg Denim Jacket - £58

Shoes: Spy Love Buy - Josephine Lace Up Platform Creeper Sneaker - £21.95

A lined denim jacket looks effortlessly cool on a warmer autumns day, and I love the edge creepers give any outfit. 

Coat: Whistles - Holly Longline Coat - £295

Shoes: Spy Love Buy - Thunder Block Heel Tractor Tread Mule Shoes - £42.95

I just really want a long, duster style, coat for the colder weather and I love these monster heels to go with it. 

Lots of love, Nikki. xxxxx

Camden

On Friday me and my friend had an awesome day trip to Camden, London. I've never actually been before; although I've always wanted to go and my brother lives near Camden town. We spent the day at the market, there are so many little shops that sell a huge range of things and there's such a range of styles and vibes - the atmosphere was just amazing. We went to a really cool Cuban Bar; a Shisha Bar; got loads of free samples from the food market; and just soaked up the vibes of Camden. 

I didn't get the chance to take many photos, I was too busy people watching and absorbing everything. A lot of good looking men with big beards and tattoos, and equally hot girls in perfect outfits. 

I got a few cool pieces also.

The plaid shirt and purple slip dress are both from Rokit, and the vest and Simpsons shirt are from stalls in the market (although I'm sure you can probably find them online). 

The plaid shirt is absolutely massive, so I'm hoping I can get away with it as a dress, especially as it would look cool at Reading. 

I will 100% be going back to Camden, there are loads of stalls I probably missed and food I need to try. And there are a lot of small gigs that go on at night, which I would love to check out. 

What are your favourite spots in London?

Lots of love, Nikki. xxxxx
