Wireless Festival...

So last weekend my boyfriend and I went to Wireless Festival in London. I gave my new DIY lacy shorts their debut and they survived the torrential rain, mud and general wear and tear that a festival demands.

I teamed my shorts with a Black baggy T shirt from Topshop, tights and some old black military style boots which are really old from Claires Accessories.

I really like this look because its comfy and so quick to chuck on. I couldn't be bothered with make up and just threw my hair in a messy bun.

He's going to be so embarrassed iv put him on here!

Rain Coat- Primark - £8

Thankfully I made a dash into the massive Primark on Oxford Street and nabbed this £8 rain coat.

The day itself was amazing. We went on the Saturday and were lucky enough to see Rita Ora, Prof Green, Labrinth, The Weekend ( who was incredible) Wiz Khalifa, Nicki Minaj and the headlining act Drake. When we first got their it rained but for the whole show right up until Drake came on we had really good weather, even got a bit of a tanned face from the sun.

Whilst in the queue for another cider, we heard a band playing on a tiny stage. They were called The Other Tribe. They were possibly one of my favourite bands from the day. They play a really eclectic set with a lot of Electronica. It basically got everyone dancing which to me makes a good song. You can find them here : www.theothertribe.tumblr.com

Magpie!

So Im a bit of a magpie when it comes to prints. At the moment I'm pretty obsessed with tribal prints and really can't get enough of them. Recently i popped into Topshop just for a little browse not intending to buy anything. In my experience these are the most dangerous shopping trips and this one definately lived up to expectations. I picked up these shorts reduced for about £23 because there was a mark on the yellow thread detail at the front. However after a little bit of TLC you would never know.

Although it is June, it is still cold and rainy which means tights and boots. Today I teamed my shorts with a baggy black top also from Topshop, black tights, my green Doc Martens and a matching green leather satchel handmade in Mexico. I kept my jewellery quite simple with a few bracelets I always wear, a few vintage bangles and a vintage charm bracelet, as well as a long vintage necklace with a key pendant which you can't see in the pictures.

I love the colours and patterns on these shorts, it really brightens up the outfit. They also look amazing with a sheer white shirt and brown leather belt.

Tribal patterns look really good layers. A recent editorial in the June 2012 edition of Harpers Bazaar hows this perfectly by layering swimsuits with tribal print jackets, boots and shawls. I haven't seen much work by the photographer Paola Kudacki before but the feel in these images is really soft and feminine which makes the prints stand out even more. It really gives the pieces the wow factor.
