Unfortunately I haven't had the time to go all out with Halloween posts this year due to uni work, but I knew I had to do a little something, so I threw on a witchy tee with some ghoulish accessories and went to the local church to shoot some photos!  To be honest I would wear this on an every day basis, not just for Halloween, but that's just me.
These shorts have got to be one of my favourite pairs I've ever owned - the metal detail is so rad, and they fit like a dream; need a pair in every wash pls!  I thought the black lines were a bit boring so I threw on my swishy MXCI cardi, I feel like a warlock in this (the boyf went for Gandalf the pink) - I just love the bell sleeves so much.  I finished it off with all-black accessories of course, the silver hardware all ties in so perfectly (and how awesome is the bag??).

Hope you liked this slightly spooky themed post - happy Halloween everyone!

SHOP THE POST: (ENSURE ADBLOCKER IS OFF)

An exciting one today as I got to shoot this outfit post with my blogger pals Helen and Hannah!  We had a day out shooting around the grand buildings of Trafalgar Square - it was bitterly cold, but definitely worth it in the end, as I love how the photos turned out!

We focused on a witchy vibe for this shoot, as we're all fans of that look anyway, and of course it's Halloween coming up!  The theme went perfectly with the shoes, which were definitely the main focus of the shoot - all are from the new Ashley Williams collaboration with Red or Dead; designed with the vision of cult cool-girls, all styles are based off her own girl-gang, and strikes the perfect glam/grunge balance!  Helen and Hannah both picked out the star-spangled Ellie boot with a kitten heel and a pointed toe, and I went for the Eve style - the ultimate glitter boot with a gorge chunky heel, finished off with a statement zip.  All styles are available now from Schuh, make sure you check out the whole range!

To keep things dressy, I went for a simple LBD (the back detail in-keeping with the witchy theme) and of course a huge coat to keep me warm - this MinkPink one is super cosy, and I love the grey faux fur and biker touches.

Hope you guys like the photos, and let me know if you'd like to see more girl-gang shoots - I'd love to do them more often as they're so much fun!  If you need another fix, make sure you take a look at my LFW photos, definitely one of my favourite posts ever!

POST IN COLLABORATION WITH RED OR DEAD

Festival Number 6

 

I'm sad to be writing that this will be my last festival diary of 2015 (perhaps the reason I've put this post off for so long - sorry I've been so busy with uni!) but at least Festival Number 6 ended the season with a bang.  Thanks to the lovely people over at Funkin' Cocktails, I got to party the weekend away in the mountains of Portmeirion with my best friend and blogger pallys, Kayla and Jo!

The journey up was pretty long, but 6 hours of travelling was totally worth it when we arrived at a massive bell tent, with a huge bundle of Funkin' Cocktail mixers to sort us for the weekend!  We all had air mattresses with a foam layer on top to make them super comfy, complete with pretty bedding, so all we had to bring was our clothes and ourselves - so much easier than lugging all your camping gear there!

   

The arena had a gorgeous view of the mountains, and was large, but still pretty intimate.  All the attendees were super chilled and there was a friendly atmosphere all round.  Below it looks a little cloudy, but we were blessed with gorge weather most of the weekend which I was very chuffed about!

The first thing we checked out in the arena was a big tent filled with independent brand's stalls - some selling handmade goods, others with vintage, it was an incredible variety, and everything was just so pretty! 

  

  

We spent a hearty amount of time at the Old Mout tent; drawn in initially by the trampolines, we bounced on over to free samples, which obviously lead to buying a couple ciders, they are pretty damn delish!  A gospel choir led a karaoke session and I was this close to having a go myself, but hadn't got enough liquid confidence yet - thank the lord it was a cider bar and not a wine bar or my awful wailing would have taken over!

Festival No. 6 has definitely topped all festivals I've been to this year in the realms of food.  There were so many independent stalls offering amazing looking food - I feasted on the likes of gourmet mac 'n' cheese, premium scotch eggs, and my favourite festival food of the summer, Pieminister pies!

      

Mark Ronson was a stand-out act on Friday - his DJ set was filled with hits and we danced the night away.  I saw Catfish and the Bottlemen at Latitude, but their set was spilling out the tent so it wasn't too great an experience - this time we got close to the front on the main stage and they killed it, definitely one to listen to if you're into Arctic Monkeys.  I also loved Everything Everything - despite being to a few festivals they played this year, they've always clashed with another act.  They played a mix of old and new material, and the new stuff is so catchy you didn't need to know it already - I've been listening to their latest stuff since and absolutely love it!



Of course I can't go without gushing over Portmeirion village.  Walk through an archway in the arena and you are transported to a pastel paradise - all buildings designed by Sir Clough Williams-Ellis to look like a quaint italian village.  I especially loved the big pink unicorn building (future home please??) and if you ventured into the forest there were hidden stages everywhere, and glades with DJ set-ups, with huge art installations in the branches.  We climbed up to the very top to find the most breathtaking view of the beach - I'd love to return to Portmeirion someday when it's not filled with festival-goers!

  

Of course we had to frolic about on the beach, and we picked the perfect weekend to do so.  After wandering through the woods for quite a while, we found a rope that took us down to the beach.  A little sketchy (especially in tiny shorts), but throwing our shoes off and running into the sea was so much fun - how many festivals are there where you can take a beach break right??  It was so sunny that it seriously felt like we were sunning ourselves in Spain or somewhere exotic, the only giveaway that it was Wales was the surrounding green hills!

    
All-in-all it was a magical weekend, and it's making me so sad that the summer is over, bring on summer 2016!
A mahoooosive thank you to Funkin Cocktails for making the weekend possible - it was truly a festival like no other, hopefully see you next year, FN6!
