Favourite Fashions at Lovebox

Whilst we were at Lovebox, I decided to document some of the amazing outfits we were seeing there. From vintage to high street and everything in between, I had to show you some of the best outfits of the weekend....

Lets start with my lovely girl Amy who made up 1/3 of our Lovebox team. She teamed Hunter wellies with jean shorts, a "wild thornberrys" rucksack from Topshop, and a wicked Aztec-style vintage top. I won't include the National Trust raincoat she also sported for the first day... :)

The lovely Emily worked a complete Topshop outfit, finished up with a sturdy pair of Dr Martens to give the look a rough edge and to protect from the mud and rain of day one. Fashionable and practical, this is definitely a winner in my book.

We found Holly working alongside Melissa (see below) at Bumble Hog, a wonderful pre-loved and vintage clothing outlet owned by the girls. Doing the festival circuit with their business themselves (and obviously knowing their stuff), I fell in love with the outfits the girls were wearing. Holly can be seen here teaming pattered tights with every girls must have- a chunky cardi- and an amazing pair of striped dungarees from fellow vintage stall Headlock Vintage. Finished with a slick of statement red lippie, and there you have it- the perfect festival outfit!

Here we have Melissa, co-owner of Bumble Hog Vintage. Her outfit was compiled entirely from Bumble hog itself! A simply detailed yet beautiful lace mesh top over another staple- the denim jean short, wonderful striped tights and Peter Pan shoes resulted in another winning outfit from the Bumble Hog girls!!

Leona's outfit really caught my eye. Her neon yellow skirt is bang on trend for the summer- and although neon hasn't been one of my favorite trends, she managed to rock it! Her Aztec crop top had just the right amount of neon to compliment the shirt, whilst her patent Dr Martens, and leather jacket and (studded!!) bum bag levelled out the brights with a biker chic. Plus- I'm SO happy that bum bags are coming back into fashion. Again, style+practicality = win win!

This is Savannah- gorgeous outfit, great name, and as you can see, loads of fun! I absolutely adored her studded denim jacket (I think I have a bit of an affliction with studs at the moment, I just want to stud EVERYTHING) Savannah described her Urban Outfitters dress as "throw over", which I thought was really perfect. That teamed with stocking detail tights and Doctor Martens made for an effortlessly stylish festival outfit. 

I absolutely fell in love with Spasena's tassled body suit (wow, studs and tassles seem to be really getting me going at the moment...Dolly Parton where art thou?!). Of course, this had to be a one-off vintage find so I can't just nip out and grab one for myself! This in itself had enough detail to make an incredibly grunge-chic outfit when teamed only with denim shorts, and Dr Martens. (These two items seem to be staple for a lot of girls at the moment!) Her wayfarer sunglasses and wild curls really completed the look. 

So, there you have it- my favorite Lovebox Looks! Do let me know if you enjoyed this post, I've been considering doing more street style and outfit blog entries. If this was a hit, let me know and you will be seeing more :)

Love as always,

Lovin' Lovebox

Early June saw in my first festival of the year- and a festival I had yet to experience. In the heart of East London we found ourselves in a muddy Victoria Park for our first LOVEBOX festival. And what a wonderful experience it was!!!

 for those that wondered, yes, i got many a Lady Gaga comparison throughout the weekend. I'm not complaining- with that amount of rain, wind and mud for 70% of the weekend, it could definitely have been worse...

Hailed as "London's answer to Glastonbury", Lovebox was fun and friendly, and sure enough filled its title of Glastonbury of the urban world. Personal highlights were:

*Two Bears...featuring some of the BEST dancers I have ever seen in my life. What I wouldn't give to be one of those brightly coloured, spandex clad marvels!!! See what I'm talking about HERE

*Kelis...FINALLY got to see one of my ABSOLUTE IDOLS and golly gosh she did not disappoint. Making her entrance in a flamenco dress that appeared to have been inspired by her hair, Kelis (who is EVEN MORE HUSKY AND SEXY IN REAL LIFE!!!) spent 20mins of her set playing drums, and managed to fit in ALL her classics (even "GOT YOUR MONEY""!!!!)

*Boy Better Know...didn't hardly know who they were before friday night but Alannah literally cried with excitement when we were on the train to London for our first day of festival-ing, so I knew we were onto something good. A memorable performance to say the least....any followers out there, please help me out with this one if you can!!

and last but not least....................................................................

 DY-NA-MIGHTY

who, it goes without saying, was incredible, and left us with a surge of Girl Power so strong it was like a 90's revival.

Please visit again soon for some of my favorite outfits at Lovebox, and exciting new projects and shoots!!

Lots of love
