Hi lovelies! So apart from my ridiculous allergies rearing their heads, this time of year is my favourite. Erin and I took a lovely stroll down by the river this afternoon. Then headed for a cheeky Friday beverage.

 Vintage Levi Denim Jacket / Shirt Thrifted / MinkPink Leather Shorts / Beanie eBay / Shoes UNIF Lost Sole Boots

Hi lovelies! Now that weather has finally cooled down I have been having a great time rediscovering the pieces that were too hot to face in the summer. When I initially purchased these leather shorts I barely took them off, and I am so glad to be able to wear them. They make for an essential staple piece for night and day.

In order to celebrate the official change from Summer into Autumn I decided to wear not one, but two colours. Shock horror. I am guilty of wearing a lot of black. It matches with everything and looks polished. Sometimes though I get an itch to wear colour and using dark and muted colours is what works best for me.

For me summer means one thing. Festivals. I am a huge advocate for festivals, when there's a good line up you can see bands for a fraction of the cost of an individual ticket. My love of festivals was instilled at a young age when I ran around barefoot at the Woodford Folk Festival. Last year marked my 11th Woodford and this was the outfit I chose. 

You may be thinking I'm deranged for wearing a jacket to a summer festival, however Woodford is held in the hinterlands and can get surprisingly cold in the evenings. I felt that the two denims were different enough to avoid the dreaded Brittany-Justin tragedy (click here if you dare). Paired, as always, with some silver jewelry and Jeffrey Campbells this outfit managed to be relaxed and allow me full range of motion whilst dancing like a loon. 

The shoes are gumboots. By Jeffrey Campbell. Best gumboots ever? I think so. I picked these up on a whim from Solestruck at the beginning of last year in order to qualify for free shipping (we've all used that excuse) and they have turned out to be one of my smarter purchases. Super comfy and completely waterproof as long as the mud isn't too intense these make an excellent festival shoe. 

Anyways my brain is absolutely fried as I just got back from Big Day Out today and my body is not happy to be sitting at a desk rather than having a Nana nap (or hibernation as the case may be).

Have you guys hit up any festivals lately?
