Woohoo, my first festival of the year is a fact. Tomorrow I will dance, flirt, and giggle with happiness at the Pacha Festival in Amsterdam. Pacha can be a bit tacky, but that extravagance is just fun for a festival. At least, that's what I think.

For days I've been getting the burning question from my friends (yes, from both men and women): ‘What are we wearing?’ I think we should dress up nicely, guys.

When you're lying on the beach in Ibiza during the summer, everyone looks forward to the moment when the most beautiful Pacha chicks come to disrupt the peace with a lot of spectacle. The men can drool over the busty and perfect bodies, while the women draw inspiration from the colorful and extremely creative outfits. Especially when they come to strut for the flower power night, as if they've just walked out of ’That 70‘s Show’. ’That top would be so cute for tonight,“ I hear my friend say with full adoration. I always look critically at their artistically painted faces. I want that for tomorrow too. I decide to go back to Soap for a Festival Brow. So you don't need much makeup for this. I prep my skin well because I don't want to look like a melted candle by the end of the day. For my eyes, I use the Extend Eye Base from M.A.C and for the rest the Photo Finish Foundation Primer from Smashbox.

Braids remain my favorite. I run again to my trusted hairdressers and ask them to make a half braid, leaving the rest of my hair hanging loose.

I am so incredibly happy with the 70’s trend. Bring on those prints, colors, and accessories. This Zara pants with ethnic print are very Pacha-proof. Above is a pom pom-top from Topshop. Furthermore, I adorn myself with many bracelets that I have collected over the years. Because the weather always tends to annoy at the end of the day here in the Netherlands, I wear this a cool jacket from Hennes. I wear flat ankle boots under the whole outfit because wearing heels to a festival is the dumbest idea ever. Even dumber than Trijntje's outfit during the Songfestival.. I once scored this in Ibiza but this from River Island can also work very well.

Are you also so happy with that extra hangover day on Monday? I sure am.
