So, the British festival season is well and truly underway. We had Pixie Lott brave the rain by baring all in a two-piece at IOW fest, whilst Beyonce showed us exactly what she’s made of by shimmering on the Pyramid stage at Glasto in that amazing sequined blazer (apparently the toned thighs don’t have a price tag, unfortunately.)
With summer desperately trying to make an appearance, it leaves us questioning what the hell is happening in terms of fashion. How am I meant to wear my new sandals in the rain whilst my feet squelch in the puddles – it’s no wonder it feels like the summer sales have started earlier than usual. Even the shops are over the summer debacle already.
My idea of summer is chilling down the beach with the girls, whilst giggling at the night’s before antics and eating copious amounts of cocktail sausages. For some reason, that’s always a picnic fave! It seems the reliability of the British weather isn’t dampening everyone’s moods, though. Whilst I was unfortunate enough to blag a ticket to most of the festivals this year, it didn’t stop me from watching coverage on TV and going green with envy over pics online. Beyonce well and truly killed Glasto this year showing exactly what the meaning of ‘independence’ is by having only women on stage (apart from Tricky, what the hell was going on there?!) Although a reunion from Destiny’s Child was hopeful, she didn’t disappoint by impressing us with a medley of hits. My girl crush on B is well and truly ON!
The best of a festival I’m getting is by going to Southwestfour on Clapham Common on August bank holiday. So what it doesn’t have the likes of Pixie and Beyonce – seeing how everyone’s style differentiates is enough for me… Along with the beers, music – and the sun if it decides to show its face -is enough to make the festival season out with a bang for 2011!
