Fashionista Sisters,

If your idea of a good summer is live music, feeling the sun on your shoulders and sharing a field with thousands of other swaying party people, you will already have booked your tickets and dusted off your camping gear in preparation for music festival fever this summer. Whether you’re a festival goer or not, bohemian cool and festival chic are high on the style barometer this summer, so have fun with your clothes and introduce a bit of mix ‘n’ match to create your very own festival look….or click here for a little inspiration:

QUICK TIP: Festival camping can be a struggle – so many clothes and so little room in the backpack. If you need help including all your key pieces, create 3 separate piles of clothes, laying pieces on top of each other. Then roll each pile into a tube, leaving you with three sausage shaped rolls of clothes that should easily slot into your bag vertically. You’ll also minimise creases this way, with all your clothes easily unrolled as and when you need them.


PROTECT YOUR HAIR & LOOK FABULOUS

Striking summer headwear is hot this summer. Whether you embrace the high fashion turban or choose a simple, wide headband for a girly summer look, make sure you decorate your locks wrapping them up in beautiful bold fabrics, making a serious style statement as well as protecting your head and hair from the sun’s harmful rays.

QUICK TIP: Give your sun-stressed hair a treat and wash with an intensive hair conditioner. Comb the conditioner through evenly and wrap the hair in a warm towel, leaving for up to an hour before washing out and enjoy silky smooth and fully nourished hair that will shine in the summer sun!


THE WOMEN’S FASHION BAROMETRE OF COOL: Celebrity Fashion

Women’s Fashion LOVES: The fact that sometimes even the beautiful A-listers have a bad hair day and leave the house without makeup or even in their pyjamas…thank yourself lucky you only attract the odd stare when you do it and not attack of the paparazzi.

Women’s Fashion LOATHES: Celebrity fashion fads – it all starts with a potentially unflattering item of clothing only miniscule celebrities can get away with: leggings, skinny jeans, miniature waistcoats et al. We are scared by the prospect of squeezing into them but soon submitted and now we’ve been duped into wearing them and even adopting them as our clothing staples – very sneaky indeed.
