Festival footwear



So I just got back from V festival yesterday and it was amazing to say the least. The music was intense but the outfits down in Essex town were totally cute. I saw loads of white dresses and long chiffon shirts which looked gorgeous but by far the one thing that everyone was wearing were Dr Martens and let me tell you they looked beyond cool.



The label has been around since the 1960s and they have become an iconic make with celebs and models alike loving the brand. They go hand in hand with the teddy boy look from the 60s and give off ultimate rocker cool. Paired with skinny jeans rolled up to the ankle or long floaty skirts, even cute little play suits there boots are a definite must have.





They aren't cheap though, they retail for around £90 so you'll have to start saving up the pennies, but they really are versatile and will see you through all seasons. Personally I think the patent or patterned boots look the best, unless you want to go for the tough biker look.






My favorites are these white ankle boots! Next purchase for sure.

Best fake tanner



Just a quick post to all the fake tan lovers out there, I have found THE best self tanner.



It's called Vita Liberata and is perfect for just about anyone.

It comes in a few different colours depending on how dark you want to go and also in tinted/non-tinted, gel or cream which means that there will be one perfect for you.



But that's not even the best bit, I could rave on and on! It is odourless so no more of that warm biscuit smell and doesn't contain alcohol or perfume (which are bad for your skin) or parabens (which have been linked to cancer).


I bought the extra rich silken chocolate, tinted, gel version and I love it. It lasts for ages so I definately think my quest for the perfect tan is over. I love the tinted one because it means you're brown straight away so its instant and gradual tan all in one.


I bought it in boots when there was an offer on and it was around £22.50 so it's not the cheapest on the market but it is by far the best!
