Primavera Festival Style

Pin It Now!

So, the reason I was in Barcelona was for the Primavera Sound music festival. The festival has none of the following -- camping,(very) young people, mud, rain, smelly toilets, beer queue's, men peeing in public or vomit - it's nothing like festivals at home and is pure bliss. I love the festival not only for the music but the style too. There's nobody in typical festival attire of denim shorts or flowery dresses and wellies. If they're wearing denim shorts they'll be found in brogues and if it's a flowery dress it's probably going to be knee-length and vintage.

I saw 22 bands and didn't spend anytime in a campsite.

The Breeders played Last Splash at Primavera. Ah, Kim and Kelly Deal you've still got it.

Pin It Now!

I've always loved vintage clothing and jewellery and with the rise in popular TV series like Mad Men, Pan Am and Magic City popularising clothing from the 50's and 60's, more and more women are looking to add vintage pieces to their wardrobe. 

I got engaged a few months ago and knew straight away that I wanted a vintage ring - luckily himself agreed to get me one! I'm a lucky girl. There's something quite special about a ring with a history to it.

Another lady who loves all things vintage is the chef Stacie Stewart, a self confessed mod. First thing you notice about her is her huge beehive hair and then her fantastic wardrobe. She just looks so chic especially in that blue dress. I'm off now to throw out all my high street clothes and heading for the nearest thrift shop. 

Do you like vintage?

Track of the Day:   The Crystals - He Hit Me (And It Felt Like a Kiss)

This was played at the end of an episode of Mad Men. Like how dark it is but with a good melody.
