La Redoute: Summer Festival Inspiration 2016

Festival season is finally upon us! I love nothing more than listening to my favourite artists in the middle of a field wearing boho outfits, so I couldn't be more excited for 2016's UK festivals. Now my wedding is over, my festival wardrobe planning can begin.

Apart from Glastonbury, my other favourite festivals include Wireless and V Festival! I headed to V Festival last year for the first time and had the best experience EVER. I wasn't sure what to expect but it had such a chilled, relaxed vibe. It isn't as full on as Glasto which = cuter outfits (for sharing on Instagram and Facebook). Oh YAS.

La Redoute are currently running an exclusive blogger competition where one lucky winner can get their paws on a pair of tickets for this year's V Festival at Weston Park. I'm a huge fan of La Redoute (I've been wearing it since I was a kid) so I was absolutely game when their email hit my inbox. All you have to do is share your dream festival outfit to win.

So what would I wear this year? Well the event is over 2 days, so I would I'd slightly switch up my outfit for each day.

Day one

Must-see artists: Rihanna - David Guetta - Katy B - Craig David's TS5 - Laura Mvula - Corinne Bailey Rae

Hat - Fringed Suede Backpack - Textured Wedding Dress - Jacket - Natural Stone Necklace - Sunglasses - Bracelet - Boots - Sandals

This outfit is a dream to me. When I think of festival style, I always think of Vanessa Hudgens at Coachella which - my inspiration for this look. I have a real thing for maxi dresses in general and as V Festival doesn't get very muddy, this frock is still very suitable. Apparently it's a wedding dress (whaaat?) but it reminds me of a similar La Redoute maxi I have. Throw in a statement hat, leather jacket and some boho accessories and I'm good to go!

I'd still pack a pair of stylish wellies *just in case* the weather turns but I definitely didn't need wellies last year & these animal print sandals are fierce! Fingers crossed for glorious snshine. The jacket is perfect for covering up when it gets a little cooler at night.

Day two

Must-see artists: Justin Beiber - Sia - Tinie Tempah - Rita Ora - John Newman - Zara Larssen 

Hat - Printed Canvas Backpack - Frilled Off-The Shoulder Dress Jacket - Collar Necklace - Boots -Sandals

After partying all Saturday, I'd opt for a really comfortable and easy to wear dress for day two. I'm crazy for off the shoulder pieces at the moment and I love this free-spirit/gypsy dress. I'd change a few of my accessories to mix it up a bit, this tribal backpack and ethnic necklace are just awesome.

My festival style is all about comfort, by picking the right pieces you can make it seem like you've made an effort, even if secretly, you feel like you're wearing a nightdress. Winning.



I've also created a Pinterest board full of inspiration for the festival season for anyone obsessed with festival style as much as me... how awesome does that white maxi look? La Redoute have some incredible pieces in at the moment, they have a fantastic festival collection and lots of wonderful new ins.
