Street Style Sunday - Festival looks at Blogstock

So it's that time of the week again to share some fashion inspiration. Last week myself and the lovely Fritha from Tigerlilly Quinn went on a mini road trip to Blogstock - the first blogging festival. A full review of the event is to come but for now I thought I would just share what we wore. First of all whenever you go on a road trip oversized glasses is needed (even if just for fun) I decided to wear my playsuit from Glamorous and I am glad I did as the weather really is starting to turn a little colder these days and it might be the last time I get to wear it before autumn creeps in. I paired it up with my thrift denim chambray, a cute little necklace from next and some happy floral wellies I picked up at the last minute from Sainsburys as my Boden ones have decided to do a disappearance act. The festival also had The Fashion Galleries tent which showcased some lovely independent designers work as well as hosting the fashion-orientated talks over the wee......

Ultimate summer driving playlist

So with two festivals under our belt this summer and a few little getaways, it means that we have spent quite a lot of time in the car and anyone knows when you embark on an awesome road trip you need an equally awesome playlist to pop into the car stereo to put you in the mood for fun and adventure. With Camp Bestival being just over a 3hour drive we needed something not only to inspire our trip but also to keep us alert and focused on a long trip, as nothing keeps you more wide and awake than singing along to your favourite tunes. So when Money Super Market asked me to share our favourite tunes we couldn't wait. I went for a chilled theme with influences from rock, folk and everything in between and when it comes to music it can be a real personal choice so we went for a pre-festival chill out mix. What makes a road trip soundtrack even better is having a decent sound system with the  best under seat subwoofer as this will make a huge difference to the overall experie......

Affordable style and bohemian skirt

Laura is wearing a Ralph Lauren Denim Supply shirt, M&S tee, Guess watch and New Look Sandals So I think I can safely say it's been a tight squeeze for everyone over the past year or two and most of us work hard for our money and we do deserved to treat ourselves every now and then and also I am a huge believer in buying quality over quantity. I managed to pick up this Ralph Lauren Bandana skirt in their online sale for 50% off! I have been looking for a lose and bohemian style skirt for a while and this is perfect for summer and the festival look, I have paired it up with a classic M&S white tee for a simple style. Another great site that I have been checking out lately is Achica , since we are in between houses and are actively looking for our new house to buy I am looking more and more at homely accessories which Achica has in bucket loads, as well as amazing Travel deals - our other favourite pastime. Achica not only has some great fashion deals but al......

Pin it forward

Ahh Pinterest you are the source of so much inspiration, such a wonderful tool to visually bookmark your loves, likes and Internet gems. I use it to share my love for travel, fashion, interiors, ethical products and chic baby stuff, it's also my place to dream of the perfect home, adventures and wonderful road trips and my favourite board, that I am going to be sharing with you today is Inspired Living . This board is important to me as I have always been a free spirit, I lived in a campervan for a whole summer in Cornwall and travel across Europe and the UK over the span of nearly two years mainly on my own and growing up outdoors in South Africa has lead me to love the simple quirky things in life, it's a bit hard to do those things now with a family and a little one but this board allows me to dream and full my heart with the things that make it happy, here are my favourite pins.... If you have not heard of Pinterest before you should really......

Cardiff Blogger Meetup Style

So on the saturday just past was an amazing little meet up of fashion/beauty and lifestyle bloggers in Cardiff, I had met quite a few before but it's great talking to people you have never met and making new blogger friends. Everyone looked very stylish and this is what I wore to the meet... I went for a sort of high street style with a TopShop denim jacket, Next white tee, thrifted River Island skinny jeans, Collection by Debenhams Bag, Joe Browns ring and HM wedge shoes. I opted for wedges this time as at every other meet or event I am often the shortest so I just wanted to add a little bit of height and they are comfy so even though it was quite a long day I didn't have any problems being on my feet most of the time. The meet started at The Brewhouse - formally the Rock Hard Cafe and it was really nice to see new life coming into this great building. They had some great deals on cocktails - I went for the Cucumber crush - so yummy and they had the Lush Lad......

Dreamy Bedroom

So we are hoping to move in a couple of months, once we have found the right place to move to that is, but my mind is already very much in dream mode, colour schemes and what our new home may look like. One thing for sure is that we are going to get a new bed - the time has come, for a bigger, family sized bed, as our little man loves to lie between us in the morning or when he has had a bad dream during the night. I love so many different looks from Boho chic, French inspired interiors, natural and nomadic to New York loft and city chic. When it comes to the perfect bedroom the bed is my number one priority. It's needs to be big and soft, with a comfortable but firm mattress adorned with lovely throws, blankets and pillows. The headboard is also important as it frames the bed, creates the style and a lot of thought needs to go into choosing which one you want, I love vintage metals ones, as well as the more natural wooden frames, but I think once we know what our new house looks ......
