the ever so amazing Bestival commences in just one week so i'm frantically flapping around trying to collect everything i'll be needing for the 4 day weekend. if you'll be joining me on the isle of wight to frolick around in a field and are wondering what items should be in your backpack, here's my bestival checklist
(apart from the obvious, tent sleeping bag, toothbrush, money, underwear, as well as probably wet wipes, deoderant, toilet roll etc. here's the actual important stuff)
- GLITTER - of course this is top priority on my list of essentials, aint no festival if you aint drowning in face and body glitter
- BEROCCA - those little tablets of orange flavoured goodness are lifesavers when you wake up in a tent feeling like a bag of turd
- DISPOSABLE CAMERA/s - i took two last year and went a bit snap happy but i think i'll be doing the same again next week
- in this case FANCY DRESS - last year's bestival theme was wildlife so of course i took every leapord print item i owned, but this year is HMS theme so; sailors, mermaids, jellyfish and pirates galore are welcome, therefore i'll be taking every stripey item i own
- last year, we were very lucky and caught the last of the summer sun on that little island so these weren't needed but i'd definitely say WELLIES are a must have to any festival in the UK
and in terms of festival fashion, my must have wardrobe items are:
- high waisted shorts - comfy and practical, you really can't go wrong with these
- a pair (or two) of hippy trousers - i have a very comfortable paisley patterned pair which are going to be at the top of my bag
- playsuit/jumpsuit - this is probably the least practical item to wear regarding toilet trips but it's a minimal effort outfit
- last time i took a pair of cat ears to make some sort of effort for the wildlife theme so this time i will bring my sailor hat ready to hop on board
- and when i'm not wearing a sailor hat my head will be decorated with a floral crown, if you read this post, you'll know i have a slight obsession with them
- and lastly a fanny pack - the ohhhh so fashionable alternative to carrying a bag to fit in those important bits
