#65 Fieldview 500 | OOTD



Good Morning! 

Last weekend I went to a small festival local to where I live, Fieldview 500. The festival is usually known as Fieldview Festival but sadly that came to an end last summer, so this year they organised a smaller, invite only event in it's place. I had a lovely couple of days with some of my favourite people. We saw some great bands, my personal favourite was Sam Green & The Midnight Heist. The second day of the festival was Superheros and Villians dress up so I might share some of those photos another time, but today I wanted to share what I wore on the Friday.

Personally I am not opposed to the whole double denim rule, in fact I like it, I like it a lot. I picked up this Levis denim jacket at a Vintage Fare in Southampton for about £15 - what a bargain! To be honest I don't wear it as much as I would like to/should, but whenever I do I fall back in love with it. It's in such good condition for the price and it actually keeps me pretty warm! My Levis shorts are from Urban Outfitters (currently on offer), if you haven't got a pair then what are you doing!? I also have these in a lighter denim and have got so much use out of both pairs. My almost favourite item is this gorgeous hat from H&M, I don't think I need to say a lot really - just look at it *swoon*. Now onto the blouse, my favourite item in this look. I picked up this beauty from Topshop and I don't think anyone has seen me wear much else since. You can't quite see it properly in this post so I'll use it in another OOTD soon, it's just so simple yet different to any standard white blouse. I also love stacking jewellery and think these necklaces look good together, the elephant is from Accessorize and the other is from Urban Outfitters (similar here). It was a bit chilly and the weather wasn't looking great (it rained as soon as we wanted to put the tent up, typical) so I opted to tights and black converse - which I quickly changed for wellies!

#64 A Family Trip to Argegno



As many of you may know, particularly if you follow me on Twitter or Instagram, I recently went away with my family for two weeks to Argegno, Italy. As I had a job whilst at university I didn't manage to come home for long periods of time so I hadn't been able to spend loads of time with them in one go until now. It was such a lovely holiday and (as you can see) the views were incredible, wherever you went on the lake (Lake Como) the views took your breath away.

As well as exploring what the lake had to offer we also took at trip to Switzerland one day which was nice. We hired a speedboat on one of the nicer days (the weather was a bit temperamental - a lot like England really!) and had a sneak peak at one of George Clooney's so say holiday homes. As well as the speedboat we also hired out a peddle boat one day, as lets face it, nothing beats watching your mum panic that she's going to fall into the water whilst your brother manically pedals away! On our final day we went for a short walk and came across a bunker and some trenches. I am fascinated by all things war related so was in my element there!

The sights do not stop at the lovely scenery, the food was also divine. Eating out is definitely one of my family's favourite things to do whilst on holiday. Of course, you can't go to Italy and not consumer multiple pizzas and ice cream now can you? Although I ate a lot of pizza I'm not an overly big lover of ice cream so didn't have too much of the stuff. Also Italian hot chocolates are on another level completely. I'm usually a tea of coffee kind of gal but on our first afternoon I was craving hot chocolate so that's what I asked for - what I received was not what I was expecting! It was SO thick, literally like melted chocolate with bits of chocolate in it... Although it was nice, it was a little too chocolately for my liking (I'm a savoury girl at heart).

So there you have it! I also posted some OOTD/N's whilst I was away so if you haven't seen them yet continue scrolling down and you'll come across them.

I hope you're having a lovely weekend so far,

Becmo
