Leeds Festival Ready
The wonderful team at Reading and Leeds have granted me guest access so that in itself will enhance my experience, and maybe it'll be a little less muddy? I don't know, I'm a massive festival virgin.
I know lots of you are going to Reading and Leeds so I thought I would pop together a post so none of us forget any of the essentials!
I don't have any wellies, but I'm not worried, and I know I probably should be. I'm subbing in my Dr Martens and I feel that this is an acceptable move. No? Moving swiftly on from my potential trench foot situation...
Do not leave your house without packing the following things: (*warning these may not be totally practical, but you'll thank me when you feel like you're winning at life over the entire weekend.
*A tent
*An airbed (I categorically will not be sleeping on the ground)
*A sleeping bag
*A sleeping mat (extra padding)
*Spooning parter (AKA Laura Morris, my babe!)
*A pillow
*Portable phone charger
*Camera
*Dry shampoo, and lots of it
*GLITTER, you're not really going to get much sleep so you need something to hide the bags under your eyes
*Salt spray, which means you don't have to brush your hair
*Bobbles, for plaiting
*Deodorant
*Travel perfume, a tiny sample will do
*Make up removing wipes
*Toothbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash
*Fake tan before you go!
*Highlighter for those cheek bones
*Eyebrow tamer
*Mascara
*Eyeliner
*LOTS of lipstick
*Consealer
*Suncream
Outfit planning:
You will need three core outfits, one for each of the days. And an array of sunglasses.
I've gone with layers. Dresses that jumpers can be thrown on top of and finished off with either a leather biker or my brand spanking new Rains jacket in the likely event of a downpour.
Footwear wise, I'm going with Dr Martens and converse. I might pack some gladiators just in case.
Make sure you pop in a couple of warm layers. If you're taking dresses, throw some soft denim skinnies in so you can whizz them on if you get cold.
In terms of a bag...Backpack. That's all I'll take. It's out of the way and fits all of your essentials in. And do not leave any valuables in your tent!
I think that's about it. I really hope this has been useful! Have an incredible time if you're going and please say hi if you see me!
Have a gorgeous week and thanks so much for stopping by.

Top 5's: music, threads, kicks, destination, accessory
I thought I'd write about the top 5 things I'm loving this month. Trend and Summer inspired, I hope you feel ready for the sun afterwards.
Music
Daughter covering Daft Punk 'Get Lucky'. It really is something to behold......I don't know about you but I have heard the Daft Punk version approximately 1.5 million times, don't get me wrong, I'm in love with it but Daughter's version is a beautiful change.
Threads
One of my most coveted brands to date, is Tibi. Effortless in design and superior in style, the Tibi collection has got me wishing I earned a lot more money!
This is my piece of the month, as worn by blogger of We Wore What, Danielle Bernstein. You can get the Honeycomb Dotted Tank HERE for $265 USD.
Kicks
Aussie brand Senso are taking my shoe obsession to new limits. I could happily only shop there for shoes, for the rest of my life. These Cadena off-white heels are walking themselves into my top 5 this month!
Pictured below is a re-gram on the Senso instagram, taken by Facehunter. Get the Cadena shoes HERE $239 AUD.
Destination
With my graduation looming,all I can think of is a beautifully relaxing break. My top hotspot this Summer is Santorini, Greece

Accessory
With the weather shaping up to be a little bit warmer (kind of!) I've gotten myself a little sunglasses obsessed. I am more than lusting after these beautifully handmade ACNE Studios Pascal sunnies. A little pricey, but it is ACNE, so you can't argue! £250 and you can get them HERE.
These are my top 5's for May! What are you loving this month?
