Glastonbury Festival Fashion : Day 3

I Am Wearing :  Flower Crown - Crown & Glory Sunglasses - c/o Oasap Aztec Maxi Dress - Boohoo Fringe Cardigan - Warehouse Fringe Waistcoat - H&M Frilly Socks - River Island Ankle Cowboy Boots - F&F Are you guys bored of my Glastonbury outfits yet? - I hope not coz there is still one more to come!! I might break it up a bit with a pressday post next, but for now I am festival fashion crazy! I just loved this aztec dress as soon as i saw it on boohoo - maxi dresses are just sooo easy to wear and are perfect for keeping you cool on a hot summers day. I layered this dress up with my new Warehouse sale BARGAIN, crocheted, fringe cardigan - that you will be seeing a lot of as it is the PERFECT summer cover up - yet another piece of clothing that has gained a place in my heart! - I clearly have a big heart or just a serious clothes addiction problem - call it what you like, i dont care - I am in love with my closet and proud! I also wanted to talk about these F&F cowboy boots - I also fell in love with these at first site when I spotted them at the F&F SS13 pressday here : in the Aztec inspired collection. When I received my order I found that they where a little taller than I had expected so I just took my scissors to them and chopped an inch off the top - now they are the perfect height and the raw edge just gives them a more lived in look which I really like! Do you customise your clothing to look how you want - or do you return them and continue the hunt for the perfect item? I would love to know your styling tricks! Have a great week and enjoy this British sunshine if you are in the UK! MWAH

Festival fashion is my favourite - you can wear pretty much any crazy outfit and nobody bats an eyelid - you can wear whatever you like without judgment or people staring!
The suburb where I live (on the edge of London) is pretty conservative, so I am used to people starring at my pink hair and I get many comments on my hats especially - so it was super nice to get up in the morning in Glastonbury to know that I would not be the strangest dressed person by a country mile!!
Festival fashion encourages people to wear colour, stack up on accessories and paint their bodies with neon stripes and spots - I LOVE IT - being surrounded by colour and pattern makes me so happy!
Live your life in colour Mwah

Boohoo Festival DIY

Boohoo sent me this super cute t-shirt dress to DIY and style up for festival season - so here is my step-by-step guide to a fringed maxi dress ...

Step 1 : Decide how long you want your fringe to be - it may help to mark the length on the dress whist  you are wearing it for a more accurate length - use chalk as it rubs off the fabric easily and will not damage your dress!
Step 2 :  Lay the dress onto a flat surface

Step 3 : Using a ruler draw a straight line in chalk across the dress at the desired height, then mark out 1cm gaps along the line - repeat this on the back of the dress also

Step 4 : Chalk out 1cm gaps along the hem of the dress also - to help guide you when you are cutting in the fringing 

Step 5 : Beginning at the edge, start to cut straight lines from the hem of the dress up to the marked chalked line - take your time and be carful ONLY to cut the front of the dress. It is a good idea to place the cut fringe upwards towards the neck of the dress to prevent any accidents with the scissors - nobody wants half a piece of fringe!!

Step 6 : When it comes to the side seems of your dress be carful NOT to cut the sewing as this will split your dress making it unwearable! Cut either side as shown in picture above. - repeat steps 5 & 6 on the reverse of the dress.

Step 7 : When you have cut all of the fringe it is time to create the lattice effect - Starting at the side seem, take 2 pieces of fringe and double knot them about an inch from the newly created hem line.

Continue until all the fringes have been knotted - if you are left with 3 pieces of fringe at the end just knot them all together - it wont be noticeable as it is at the side seem!

Step 8 : To create lower lattice, take a piece of fringe from each pair and double knot those together - as shown above and below - make sure this knot is about 1 inch below the top knot - repeat around entire dress

And here is the finished product .....

And this is how I would style it for a festival ....

So what do you think of my DIY?
Do you think you will fringe any of your old dress or tops - or even buy one especially for a DIY project?
It was heaps of fun to do and has inspired me to think of more ways to revamp my existing wardrobe!
I was so happy to get an email from the gorgeous Rachel over at R&R Jewellery asking if i would like a personalised bracelet of my choice to wear this summer - naturally being self obsessed I went for a bracelet that was all about ME - my blog to be exact but whats the difference! 
The bracelets are all hand made and i just LOVE how mine turned out! Thank you so much Ray Faye, what a lovely gift. - go check out her shop she can do pretty much anything and at super cheap prices too! - great for friends, families or lovers to share a matching bracelet perhaps??
Before I go I just wanted to share an "out-take" with you - check out the little bumble bee admiring my ring collection .....

What a cutie!!
Have a great Wednesday!
BIG Love
