Festival Essentials

GRRR.

Festival Fashion on clothing websites is slighting annoying me.
I love the clothes, I love the 'festival style' but since when is a maxi skirt and wedges appropriate to wear to a muddy, wet, sweaty music festival. Its fine if you're somewhere lovely like Coachella!!

Now I'm no festival expert. My first experience of a festival was at Reading last year. I don't know if anyone was there or remembers but the weather was HORRENDOUS!

Hello mud!!

So I have decided to do a post about my Festival Essentials before I go to Reading next week...

I will be taking these, my trusty unique hand painted wellies. I had very little notice about going to Reading last year and had such little time to prepare. I looked everywhere for a pair of nice fancy wellies but couldn't find any I liked. So I brought a bog standard green pair and painted them myself. These will 100% be coming to Reading with me this year as I did not take them off last year!

• You want to keep clean... you take baby wipes! I am not going to stand their in my bikini and tip a bottle of water over my head. I will just sit in my tent and keep clean with the ol' baby wipes! plus they leave you smelling pretty nice for a festival.
• Obviously a tent. Last year we took at £7.99 Tescos Value tent. I have learnt my lesson. During the 24 hour down poor on the first day my tent flooded. We had to take all our stuff back to my house to dry in the tumble dryer.. including sleeping bags! This year we opted for THIS tent. It has a seperate bedroom meaning wellies do not go in there and space for more than just Sam and I to sit if it rains. We are also taking a double airbed with built in pump (good planning by me there!) and a double sleeping bag.
• A small bag to keep your essentials in! I just ordered THIS one off of ASOS. In this bag I will cram... my small red camera (as in not a huuuge digital SLR one!), an old mobile phone (would die if I lost my iPhone), money (food, drink, souvineers) and a small pack of tissues and some anti bac hand gel (no joke I would die without these life savers for toilet trips!) I am hoping this will all fit...

I'll also be taking a wine box from France... best idea ever! You can't take bottles in.. so 4 bottles of wine in 1 sort or light box great plan! and I have plastic wine glasses.

Clothes wise I will be taking denim shorts, a couple of tshirts, a skirt, tights, leggings, a raincoat (!!!!!!), hoodies, tracksuit bottoms, underwear and as many pairs of socks that will fit!

Is anyone else going to a festival? What are your essentials? Who are you most looking forward to seeing?

My friend Dan...

This time last year I had just got back from a few weeks of touring round north east America and south east Canada (New York, Boston, Quebec, Montreal, Toronto, Cleveland, Chicago). I did this with a company called CONTIKI. I recomend anyone considering any form of traveling/holiday should check out Contiki - you book on to the tour and pretty much everything is sorted for you, from the hotels, some meals and the travel between cities (all this is included in the price). I am the most organised person in the world and the idea of 'proper' travelling and turning up in a country with no where to stay makes me feel ill! So yeah check out Contiki - my tour was North by North East if you were wondering.

 Canadian flag on the Thousand Island boat tour (somewhere between Quebec and Montreal.. and yes it is where the dressing is from!!!)

So back to the original point. Whilst on the tour my brother (who I was traveling with) and I met some absolutely amazing people. We formed a real close group of friends. 3 boys from England and 1 from Australia.

 This is the only picture I could find of all of us!

Ed, Dan, Stu, Big Canada Bear, Me, Ben, Matt

Recently us English folk decided to meet up for a Contiki Reunion. Unfortunatly our Aussie friend Dan couldn't make it... no surprises there! So as a tribute to Dan and show that we still love him we took a photo of him with us and he went everywhere. So here is some of Dans day out in London...

So thats Dans day out!
