Mardi Gras night! Raving carnival nights need cool facepaint, it's like a law for goodness sake! A lovely girl did mine for me and I was ready to party! My 'Hamlet' dress is from Om Diva which I paired with black tights and beaten-up Converse (hey I'm not dancing in heels!).

Arrived at the college orientation station today. Unsure of what to wear, I decided upon a slightly 'mullet-esque' approach. Business on the top.....party on the bottom! As I am now a college girl, my pinky-purple blouse from Penney's and the infamous blazer from Berska made an appearance to smarten up my style. My Urban Outfitters shorty distressd shorts grunged down my third-level look. Bring on Freshers Week!

Patterns are everywhere. You can pair them with some lovely pastels or neutrals or as I have done today.....clash them! My lil heart patterned shorts are from 'H&M' and my top is from a great vintage shop in town called 'Om Diva'. Together they form the power team for my adventure in town. Always have some clothes ready in your clash stash!

Hair hair hair hair hair hair hair ooooooh! Sorry, I'll refrain from sing-typing show tunes......for now.
Anyway, any good, self-respecting hippie is nothing without their lustrous locks. The full-stop to any of my bohemian outfits is my blonde messy mane. To achieve this, I wash my hair with some sort of volumising shampoo, stick my head under the hairdryer and spray it with some 'sea-salt spray'. Add Bob Dylan tshirt and you're good to go!

Electric Picnic you beautiful creature. It may have been gorgeous but it was pretty difficult to keep yourself looking fine in the muck and dirt! I did my hair in loads of plaits to keep it off my face and to show the festival vibe! Flowers are a must. Top tip: although, jumpsuits may look cool, they are not your friend in porta-loos! Festivals are an opportunity to go crazy with your style so do what you want, no one will care! I brought a vintage shirt to throw over my outfits when it got a bit chilly and wellington boots are your life whilst you are there!

The Debutante Ball beckoned. Whilst holidaying in America with the family, my father suggested I try this silver, extremely sparkly Ralph Lauren evening dress on. Although, skeptical at first, once I put it on I was sold. This designer dress was sold at a steal in the sales and I adore it. My shoes are Steve Madden and much to my surprise I was able to keep them on until 2.30am! My bag is from Tk Maxx and I completed my 40's movie star look with curls and red lips.

Blazers. A wise friend once told me "if in doubt, buy the blazer". Truer words were never spoken. The humble blazer jacket can be paired with just about anything. You have the close fit that suits a more sophisticated look without trying too hard and can be worn with a pretty skirt. In addition, it can be thrown over a jeans and t-shirt ensemble for a casual yet awesome collaboration! Genius!

Also, I feel a bit like Cailin Hill. Which is always a good thing.
