Festival Fancies

Festival season is upon us and Coachella-goers have already treated us to some fabulous street style. Festivals are the perfect opportunity to have fun with trends from romantic florals to vibrant citrus shades and  flashes of neon. Personally I'm loving the surge of 90s revival clothes as they're just so cheerful and remind me how much I loved my childhood wardrobe!
This last week has been gloriously sunny but let's not forget the great British weather and the very high chances of the fields soon turning into a sticky situation ankle deep in mud! Whether you got for a classic style or a fun print which brightening up the muckiest of days a pair of wellies is a festival essential.
Here are a few looks I've put together with Summer festival frolics in mind. Will you be heading to any festivals this year?

High Street Hits: Spring Bling

From pretty-as-a-princess pastels to flashes of vivid neon, the new season jewellery pieces are all about having fun. Without spending too much, the statement accessory has the power to change your outfit as well as put a smile on your face. I'm rather besotted with chunky gems and intriguing hints of perspex I've been spying, particularly perhaps the opulent bejewelled necklaces which capture a little of the decadence of centuries past.

It might be a while yet until it's time to grab a glamorous sunhat and head to Cannes but there are some lovely transitional pieces around to layer up and wear through both the chillier and warmer months.

High Street Hits: Cinderella Shoes

Harrods have gone mad for Disney princesses at present with festive window displays featuring regal interpretations of these iconic muses  from celebrated fashion houses such as Oscar de la Renta, Marchesa, Valentino and Elie Saab.
In store they've also opened a dreamy Cinderella Slipper Salon; whether you have big or little feet why not see if the shoe fits for size! We can't let the children have all the fun can we? It looks quite the beautiful experience and I so wish I'd had the time to go and explore instead of being poorly this month. What's more, the stunning shoes range from £24.95 to £34.95 making them a rather affordable piece of magic.
I was also besotted with Miu Miu's gorgeous glitter shoes the moment they burst onto the scene in AW11. The beautifully sculpted heel turned timelessly pretty sparkle into a power piece. I wasn't the only fan and ever since I've loved the way all things sparkly have infiltrated the high street. So go out and create your own fairytale, just try not to lose a shoe on the way home...

Sparkles at Selfridges

Whilst it may have been a SS13 trend presentation I attended at Selfridges in the Bullring, Birmingham last week, this magpie gets easily distracted and there were so many sparkly things in store, showcasing my favourite trend of the season.
Down on the ground floor Paperchase delighted as ever with its cheerful coloured Christmas trees (my little neon pink one is up again this year) and the new range of animal baubles is so full of character you can't help but grin at them.
Then there were the accessories! From Ted Baker to Jimmy Choo and Vivienne Westwood X Melissa to Dune these goodies are sure to dazzle whether you pick out a glitterfied clutch or make like Dorothy and add a sequinned spring to your step.
