Festival trends

an update

I can't stop talking about it, can I? Yes, sorry, but outdoor parties fascinate me and I had a festival marathon last weekend. On Saturday, I frolicked around at Buiten Westen, a gemütlich festival at the Westergasterrein in Amsterdam. To be able to flirt on Sunday at the freest festival ever: Milkshake. Don't worry, that was only with men who aren't into women anyway.

I wasn't doing this marathon just for fun, you know. Because I had to specially look for you for the very latest beauty and fashion trends. Hard work, as you understand.

Bows are totally in this festival season. You can grab an old scarf and tie it up, but there are also special bands with a wire nowadays like this one from Asos, so the bow stays nicely upright. Tie it in your hair or in a Tupac-like way over your forehead.

Spotted by none other than: myself. I wanted hair at Buiten Westen that I didn't have to look at all day. How do you make it? Look here.

Yes dear people, you can also immerse your pretty face in chains. Nice over the top, but if you're lacking attention: go for it!

Totally Indian and incredibly hot: diamond stickers to decorate your face. You can buy them at many Asian shops for a few bucks and they really spice up your look.

Let's stay with the face embellishments for a bit. Because to complete your festival look, you can also paint tribal-like symbols. Borrowed from Burning Man, because they've been doing it for years.

Not just for your five-year-old niece anymore. No, you can also parade around with cute lace cat or bunny ears.

So old school, but also the hippest of the moment: the plastic tattoo chain for around your neck. That's why you should always keep things from the past.

From now on, you wear your swimwear not just at the beach, but also at a festival with shorts or a skirt. All the more reason to get a good piece to acquire.

It felt like I was going back to the ’70s last weekend, because the wider the leg, the better. And don't worry that it will fray or break at the bottom, because that's just cool.

Underwear can be seen again! That doesn't mean your thong has to stick out half a meter above your pants. But a nice Calvin Klein top or boxer peeking out is the sexiest.

Handy and cool: the little backpack. At least your hands are free for a nice move and a drink.
