Festival Fashion: Badger & Kingdom

I have spent the last few weeks becoming extremely envious of the people tweeting about going to Glastonbury this coming weekend, and this jealousy is not being helped by the numerous instagram images of festival outfits and half-packed bags that keep popping up on my feed.  However, as much as the green monster may rear its head, I find comfort in the fact that I have had my festival experiences and I have all the amazing memories of those wet and windy English weekends.  As well as catching up on all the live performances from the artists, I equally enjoy scrolling through the photos online of the fashionable festival goers. 

It really does seem that fashion and festivals go hand in hand, with many people experimenting with outfit choices and embracing the cool, nature-inspired look.  If it's T in the Park, Latitude, Bestival or Reading and Leeds, these statement print t-shirts from Badger & Kingdom fit the bill for festival fashion.  They are easy to wear and effortlessly cool.  Lets face it, it is not the most sensible of ideas to be donning a maxi skirt at an English festival, but rocking a pair of denim shorts, wellies (naturally) and an icon tee keeps you festival fresh and on-trend!

China Blue

 

Recently, the fashion world has been going mad for china blue!  It brings about associations of vintage china tea services and wonderful antiques that you come across in dusty hideaways.  The Blue Willow pattern, which seems to be featured in every style page, is a classic look and one that screams sophistication.  This is one of the reasons we love Stay Gold Mary Rose. 

Abigail, who is the creative mind behind the brand, has created a collection of items all made from vintage china tea cups.  On the left is 'Spear Head Pendant' which hangs on a copper chain, this necklace would be a lovely addition to any outfit, keeping your look right on trend.  The item on the right is part of a collection of handmade bracelets by Stay Gold Mary Rose which are all crafted and adapted from vintage teacups.  I love the fact that when you wear that bracelet, you are wearing something that has a history, a story to tell - what a perfect way to mix vintage charm and high fashion style!
