Spring and Summer clothing essentials for those who love to travel

*This post contains affiliate links The seasons are changing and we are finally coming out of the long winter and into what will hopefully be a lovely spring and summer! That means a change of clothing, fewer jackets, fewer layers but still being ready for adventure, exploring and travel. So I thought I would put together some of my favourite summer essentials for those who are hoping to hit the road this year, things that are practical and hard-wearing but also suitable for a variety of occasions.  1.

Five Classic Men's Accessories

John wearing his white vans with Pink RL socks and Bape Watch It’s not just women that like to use accessories to finish off their outfits.

Our festival fashion

So we had an amazing time at Wychwood and the great thing about festivals is the colourful fashion, anything goes at festivals and I have to say we were lucky with the weather, which meant hats, shades and floaty fabrics. Here are some shots of my fave outfits from that weekend... So in the outfit above I am rocking a Coco Love Top, Next jeans, Vans, SXUC glasses and festival bought straw hat. John was pleased to finally use his Ralph Lauren bucket hat and is also wearing a Levis jumper and RayBan glasses. Both styles are relaxed and fairly practical as we were there with a toddler after all. Even when the weather is dry when there are a lot of people walking over the same area it causes mud so on the last day I wore my lovely yellow wellies from Boden and a HM dress paired with some fairtrade accessories - a beaded hair band and wooden earrings. Our full review of the festival will be coming soon... I have joined this post up with #YoloMondays   and Style E......
