Summer Bummer

It was my sisters birthday at the weekend and as we are going to Glastonbury together this summer she asked for a gift that tied in with that. She gave a few hints and options, phone charger - boooorrrinnggg, waterproof jacket - meh, sleeping bag - kill me now, bum bag - ding ding ding we have a winner!

So, I started to trawl through websites in search for something appropriate. She usually has quite a subtle style but wanted something colourful for the summer. I was really surprised to find such a limited choice on my regular 'go to' websites - Asos, Missguided, Boohoo. They had relatively reserved pieces and I was looking for something more 'Mr Motivator'-esque.

I ventured deeper into the world of fashion online and on my way through I made a stopover at Etsy. To my surprise there was the biggest selection of bum bags I had as yet found anywhere else by far, with a wide range of colours and styles. These are a pick of my favourites:

Butchi and Gosmos Shiny Bumbag - £22

Kokomo Fanny Pack - £15.27

90s Hi-Tech Fanny Pack - £15

Sea Life Bumbag - £18.99

Sequinned Unicorns Fanny Pack - £27.49

and this is the one I chose for her present - hopefully she won't see this before she receives it tomorrow - It is from a brand called Butchi and Gosmos (£19) and was completely hand made. The African pattering is screen printed and you are able to pick your own zipper, I opted for black. It arrived after just over a week and it beautiful, I had to resist stealing it for myself! I will be sure to take a picture of her with it at Glasto.

I Want To Be Beyond Retro at Glasto

So today I got enough money to give to my sister to look after for payment of my Glasto ticket - feels good! Now I get to think about saving money towards an outfit which I obviously find much more enjoyable..

I've been having a little explore on Beyond Retro and have already picked out an outfit I'm a little bit in love with... it screams summer and is actually practical - even a swimming costume incase of rain and mud, mum would be proud!

I went for a 90s summer floral vibe and I was thinking back to when I was a 90s kid and those cut out clothes for dolls! 

I love the ease of the swimming costume with jeans over - no worries about a dress blowing up so you can fully relax. The trainers give height but again still with comfort! and what fest. outfit would be complete without a bumbag and some sunnies!

Click the images to shop - but hurry up before I get them all!

Coachella: Best Dressed

Vanessa Hudgens in this outfit was hands down the best dressed at Coachella, no contest! 

            

Love the super feminine, hippy vibes but with the complete rock and roll edge of the back pack that just screams 'don't fuck with me!'

The whole thing just makes me want to watch Almost Famous then runaway on tour with a band.

Gorgeous!
