As you may have seen from my many recent Instagram photographs and tweets, last weekend I was having the most amazin' time at the Isle of Wight Festival! Liv and I were invited along with Hunter Boots, plus last minute Rebecca and her friend Sabby were able to make it, completing our little team. As Liv and I stayed in a hotel, our mornings were spent lazing about watching cookery shows, then getting ready for evenings of lounging around in hammocks in the sunshine, music, and plenty of lovely of food. We even spent some time with the beautiful Lyzi and all her awesome friends which made my festival experience even better! For someone who constantly says that festivals aren't really my thing, I honestly had the most lovely time and felt so carefree, plus I finally got to see Rizzle Kicks and Blondie live which made me very happy indeed (I may have shed a couple of tears)!
This is what I wore for the last day of the festival - I'm not really one for making a conscious effort with 'festival fashion', but as my style is rather British heritage I felt pretty darn comfortable in my wellies, parka and checked scarf! Love, Jazmine.

Why, hello there! Tomorrow I'm heading to the Isle of Wight festival with Liv and Rebecca for some good ol' festival fun. I have to say I'm pretty darn excited (Rizzle Kicks, Blondie, junk food and two of my favourite ladies? Yes please!), so I've spent most of the evening planning what to wear and packing my bags. As Liv and I are staying in a nearby hotel it does mean that I can pack a little more than most, so here is just a snippet of what I'll be taking with me! I've tried to be sensible with what I'm bringing along, so I've packed a handful of tops and two slouchy jumpers to layer, accessories to suit any weather condition, plus last minute I found a very lightweight parka which will be perfect to keep in my backback just in case it rains. I hope to brave a little crop top and high waisted shorts if the warm weather decides to make a comeback, plus I may even step out of my comfort zone a little more and sport a bright ensemble to match the orange wellies!
As much as I adore living in London, I do love a good excuse to leave my worries behind, visit somewhere new and meet new people, so if any of you are also attending the festival, do let me know! But if not I'm sure I'll be tweeting and instagramming aplenty whilst I'm there! Lots of love, Jazmine.
