If you've never been to Glastonbury, I would 100% recommend it. It was one of my best experiences ever and I'm definitely going again next year! Everyone keeps asking who my favourite act was, the truth is I don't know. The Rolling Stones were absolutely amazing but Natty (Google him) was also incredible. I prefer watching artists on the smaller stages, it's much more intimate.
I decided against taking my DSLR (obvio) so I was only able to take snaps using my an old digital camera and occasionally my phone.
Vest: F21 - Cardigan: River Island - Boyfriend shorts: New Look - Hat: La Redoute - Wellies: c/o Spats
Hello pictures of me with zero/little make up!
This first outfit is typical 'backpacker Tara' with the addition of some ultra cool spats boots (£49.99). Since the weather turned out to be freakin' awesome, I would've melted during the day without these beauts. They come in a variety of colours but I opted for this yummy fuchsia. They have the most delicious silky faux fur lining which is just what I needed as I was on my feet all day long. If you're heading to Glasto, take ankle wellies, long wellies and flip flops.
Dress: Dorothy Perkins - Belt: Topshop - Leggings: Primark - Jacket: c/o Boohoo - Boots: Hunter - Hat: La Redoute
Although the weather was mostly sunny, it did get a little chilly at times so I'm glad I packed this super cool penny biker jacket (now on sale) from Boohoo. Pretty sure I got this dress for less than a tenner last year, and although it's just another strappy skater dress, I love it. It's so comfy! Hunter wellies were everywhere and I love this mint colour. Part of me wished I bought the long Dr. Martens wellingtons because I didn't see anyone wearing them...
Dress: New Look - Kimono: c/o Motel - Hat: La Redoute - Bracelet: Primark
I absolutely adore this blue marble kimono (£48) from Motel! I was Motel's official Glasto reporter and I wrote a blog post for them which should be up shortly. I was given the task of taking festival style snaps and the provided me with stickers and glow sticks to dish out. I was so impressed by the stylish babes on site and in general I felt like a total scruff! I didn't manage to get photos of all of my favourite outfits because some girls were too shy. I guess because I'm a blogger, I'm a natural poser. If a stranger asked to take a photo of my outfit I'd be chuffed and up for it!
I'll definitely be making more of an effort next year when it comes to my outfits. I might take 3 different hats because this one was permanently glued to my head...I didn't wash my hair for 5 days. Ouch. I noticed a whole ton of girls wearing fringed kimonos, dungarees and aztec bags. I think there must have been 10,000 other chicks with the Primark backpack I used. I'm never making that mistake again.
I'm also considering writing a survival guide because I feel like I have all this knowledge I want to pass on! Let me know if that's something you'd be interested in reading.
Have you been to Glastonbury before? Are you heading to any festivals this year?
T - Now thinking about Glastonbury 2014. XoX
You look so pretty in all of these photo's Tara, I don't think I would be able to look half as stylish at a festival! xxx
ReplyDeleteAw that's so kind of you to say Carly, I felt pretty rough ha ha. Psssh, I'm sure you'd be totally styling with your mermaid hair! x
DeleteI've been thinking about going to glastonbury for a while as its so expensive but I guess its worth saving up for after all the over festivals are catching up in price anyway. Great outfits at festivals all I end up wearing is an oversized T-shirt some denim shorts and my Doc's as I'm to worried about damaging my other clothes.

The ticket is really expensive but we took all our alcohol/a lot of our food so we didn't spend much when there. Definitely worth saving up for considering the large number of music acts there! That's a super stylish outfit. I was worried about the same thing but now I've been I understand it wouldn't happen!
DeleteJust lovely! =)

DeleteYou look great, so stylish! didn't expect that after days at Glastonbury! I love that boohoo jacket it's so colourful and perfect with that black dress. I like my comforts too much to like festivals but i'm sure I could use those outfits in everyday life!
ReplyDeleteAw thanks! I felt pretty awful, my poor hair ha ha.x
DeleteBoth your wellies are amazing!! :D

I was also at Glastonbury but I don't think I looked anywhere near as stylish as you, although by the Friday I don't think I was as bothered by how I was looking! I was amazed by how some girls seemed to keep their hair looking absolutely perfect the whole time! I was glad for having my dry shampoo but will take a hat next time (sun burnt scalp - ouch!). I had an awesome time. The Smashing Pumpkins and Portishead were amazing! :)
ReplyDeleteI did start to care less as the days went on haha! I think they hit up Vanity Van ;) So glad you had a lovely time, I don't know how you managed without a hat :O xo
DeleteOUUUHH I love the last pic and the flower jacket :) www.annpiraprez.com , I would be so happy if you could check out my blog :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
DeleteTaking the small wellies was such a good idea. The ground was too hard to walk around in flip flops or my Toms all day, and it was so hot in full length wellies!
ReplyDeleteTotally! I think I might take a pair of proper ankle boots next year, it's just hard to know what the weather will do haha. x
DeleteWow lovely! One day I wish to go to a festival. I have never been. You look lovely! Thankyou for taking the time to comment on my blog! You both are so lovely xxx
ReplyDeleteYou'd look so beautiful at a festival Adora! I always read your blog :) Hope you're well. <3 xo
DeleteLooks like you had such a fun time! Love those mint Hunters, such a cool colour. I'm really hoping I'm gonna be able to do Glasto with Ollie next year, I'm still down about the fact my bad healths meant I missed all the ones I planned on this year, so next year I will definitely be making up for it! ;)
ReplyDeleteAw Steph, I really hope you can go next year!! I saw this uber stylish girl who was wearing all black (including black Hunters) and it made me think of you! She was eating or I would've snapped her with my phone haha. <3 xo
DeleteGlad you had an amazing time-you looked super cute! I'm 100% going next year! Decided to go to lattitude this year for a change instead of Bestival which I'm really excited about! x
ReplyDeleteLoved your outfits - the perfect balance of practical and fun, and those ankle wellies are so cute - perfect for the hot weather we had! I love Glastonbury - this year was number 6 for me - and I get braver with my fashion choices every year. The thing that holds me back is only taking what I'd be prepared to not to come back with - hence why vintage dresses stay at home! x
ReplyDeleteHope you had a nice time, it looked amazing! Also that kimono is beautiful!
