Thousands of people have been travelling since Wednesday saddled up with sleeping bags, tents, hunters and crates of alcohol all in the pursuit of an amazing weekend at Glastonbury 2015 with Florence & the machine, Kanye and The Who headlining.

It's one of the most anticipated festivals of the season with fashionistas taking every opportunity to flaunt the hottest festival fashion around. We are predicting an array of head dresses, heavy layered accessories, fringing, ethnic prints, body gems and of course those trusty pack a macs.




The best thing about festival fashion is that you can go as quirky as you want. It's all about over the top textures, colours and prints or in contrast a blank canvas giving a cool and chic vibe.

We've gone for a fun playsuit complete with red tassels and a broderie anglais pattern. We paired with an oversized fringed kimono to enhance the tribal vibe. If you're feeling really crazy, try wearing a feathered headress. If you can't wear one at Glastonbury, you never will.

Transfers are back this SS15 with an edgy fresh twist. Beyonce, Perrie and Rosie Huntington are massive fans of these metallic tats.

To really accentuate your whole festival look, up the anti with layered jewellery. We love The Adelyn Layered Bead Necklace. It may be dainty, but the layered effect lifts the outfit. Similarly we've gone for The Amara Layered Beach Chain Bracelet. We think the red tassel works great with the play suit and ties in the colours. Finish with a statement pair of earrings. For an edgy feel we've chosen The Arina Leaf Lobe earrings; that climb up your ear, almost like a cuff.

Slip on your hunters and your nearly ready to go. We are crushing on this gorgeous bum bag from Primark. Its much securer than a messenger in heavy crowds and plus it gives you free movement to throw some shapes and dance your heart out.

Adorning Ava have some of the best statement sunnies around for SS15, with a variety of styles to suit all face shapes and styles.

It's hard to know what type of shade to look for but we're here to give you the lowdown to make your decision a little bit easier.


Face shapes

There are four main face shapes we have used to help you decide what type of shade to go for.



Oval: - Geometric Tortoise Shell

Examples: Beyonce, Julianne Hough, Jennifer Anniston, Selena Gomez.

Type of shade: You’re a lucky lady, you’ve got an oval-shaped face. That means you can pull off just about any look when it comes to sunglasses. Rectangle frames are often chosen for their horizontal orientation to balance an oval face’s vertical. And upswept styles are good for complimenting high cheekbones. 


Round - Flat Top Snakeskin Sunglasses

Examples: Kirten Dunst, Miranda Kerr, Kate Bosworth, Amy Adams.

Type of shade:  Characterized by soft, contoured, feminine features, round faces generally have a width and height that are roughly equivalent. There are a lot of great opportunities to show off your style with a nice pair of shades. Whether you’re out at the beach or going for a drive, geometric shapes like horizontal frames, Wayfarers and rectangle shapes will give your face a longer, thinner look. So offset your contours and gain an elegant edge today.


Square: - Black Round Cat Eye Sunglasses

Examples: Kate Blanchett, Rihanna, Angelina Jolie, Natalie Portman.

Type of shade: Bold features make you a natural head-turner. Features like a prominent forehead and a strong jawline characterize your distinctive look. This makes you the perfect candidate for a few different sunglass shapes. Try curvier frames like round, oval, cat eye, butterfly and semi-rimless to accentuate your eyes and playfully balance a striking jawline. 

Heart: - Round Tortoise Shell Sunglasses

Examples: Eva Longoria, Reese Witherspoon, Olsen twins, Scarlett Johansson.

Type of shade: This typically means there’s a good chance you’ve got a broader brow and a narrow chin. You can direct attention downward or elongate your look to even out proportions with the right pair of frames. Go for frames with thin temples, or frames with exaggerated bottoms for heart shapers.

It's very nearly June and that means only one thing..... It's nearly time for a Summer holiday. That one holiday you've been looking forward to since Winter. That holiday that sun kisses your body, lightens your hair and relaxes your mind. But this also goes hand in hand with the dreaded bikini body.

Don't stress, it's very simple. You put on your beach wear and that's it.... you're beach body ready. To help you out with the right attire for your hols, we have put a few #ootd together to inspire you!

1. The Ibiza Weekender

We've gone for a a geometric print bikini with a flash of neon brights from River Island. Go for a bra-let structured bikini so it can be doubled up as a crop top. Throw a loose cami or kimono over the top as a cover up. We couldn't resist this mesh graphic tee from River Island in their exclusive Patcha collection. It's IBIZA, so the long summer days are going to be spent drinking, singing and dancing way into the early mornings, so footwear is important. Go for a wedge or flatform for extra height and the apparance that you're wearing a heel without the excruciating pain that usually comes with it. We chose these metallic 90s flatforms from Topshop to keep in with the urban vibe. We all know going out with a bag can be hard work especially when you want to rave. Opt for a bumbag, so that you can relax and not worry about where your bag is. Every outfit needs accessorising, even beachwear. We went for The Iona Layered Jewel Pendant. Celebs have been parading their bodies all over instagram over the last months pairing layered pendants with bikinis, so keep the pendant on, even when the cover up comes off. Last but not least, don't forget the lashes. It may be the daytime and 100 degrees, but it's still a party.


2. The Sun, Sea and Sand


Whether your going away with the girls, the boyfriend or family, you can look chic, yet beachy with the ootd above. Multiple straps on beachwear have been popular this Summer. We went for a simple khaki bikini with crossover detail. Khakis great for any skin tone, so will look great pre tanned. Keep it simple and go for a sarong. They're so versatile. Wear it as a skirt, dress, kimono or even a head scarf if you've slightly baked in the sun. Keep the footwear simple and go for a comfy flip flop or sandal. We opted for a black leather thong with gold chain detailing. When it comes to a bag, it's pretty simple. Go for a large tote to fit all your girly products, towel, books, lilo, music in and any other accessory you may want to take down to the beach. We love this khaki floral Billabong tote and it's in a canvas fabric, perfect to go in the wash to get rid off all those loose grains of sand. If it's hot, don't forget to cover up with a BB cream to protect your face and still making your skin look flawless. The last and most important accessory is the shades. Go for an oversized pair to look cool and chic. We love these Black Oversize Glasses to pull together your full beach look.

3. The Package Holiday




Is there anything better than an all inclusive package holiday to get away from the chaotic stress of everyday life. You can sit by the pool, drinking pina colada's and reading the latest cosmopolitan. We went for a beautiful laced white bikini with beaded detailing. Go for a a halterneck so that when you're catching raise, you can untie it to stop unwanted tan lines. Throw on a loose cover up to go down to breakfast/ pool in. We fell in love with this chiffon cover up from River Island with silver diamante detailing round the neckline. The lemons and soft hues of blue are calming and look really pretty. We matched the sandals to the cover up, going for diamante detailing on these three strap mules. Again, we were drawn to a canvas style tote, so that if any suncream leaks, it can be washed out easily enough. For a bit of extra glamour, we chose The Kylee Gold Tassel Charm Bracelet, as the gold and blue charms match perfectly with the outfit. Finish your look with a lip balm to keep your lips moist and to avoid them drying up in the sun.


4. The UK Surf Break


We aren't all lucky enough to go abroad for our summer holidays, but a holiday in the UK is still pretty good, especially if the rain holds off. We went for a casual outfit in a surfer chick style. Keep it simple and go for a black bikini. Black goes with everything and can look stylish no matter what you pair it with. We went for a pair of ripped frayed shorts with a high waist line. If it's a cold day, wear a pair of leggings underneath them for extra warmth. Keep the footwear basic and practical. a pair of flip flops or converse are the best beach wear for the UK. Bare feet isn't an option on the shoreline. We love this dry top form Billabong, a twist on a wetsuit, to keep you a little bit warmer if you're toying with the idea of going swimming. To carry all your belongings down to the beach, a backpack is always a winner, especially this fringed rucky from topshop with shark tooth detailing. Finish your beachy look with a few bangles and bracelets. We think The Amara Layered Beach Charm Bracelet is great for adding detail. It's one bracelet but acts as a few for a cool surfer effect. Keep your hair feeling soft with a few sprays of a sun and sea protector, which also adds to the beachy toussled look.

We can almost smell the suncream and taste the cocktails! Have a great holiday everyone!

A three day weekend is the best excuse for a BBQ or even better going to one, as it saves you doing the hosting. But when it comes to what to wear, it's always an awkward one. The weathers pretty unpredictable and then there's how dressy do you go.

Play it safe with a floral print dress. We went for a gypsy style with chunky straps for a playful, yet 70's vibe. It is supposedly Summer, so be brave and go for bare legs with a pair of chunky peep toe clogs. If it's cold, you can always opt for leggings and tan boots instead, as the dress is versatile.

We have chosen loose fringed kimono to drape over the top of the dress. It's a little bit of extra warmth and again if it is really cold, pair the dress with a knit kimono instead. For a little bit of extra detail wear a waist belt to cinch in your waist and to pull in the kimono. To add characted the outfit, try wearing a hat. We love the black trim fedora from Topshop. It works great with any outfit and pulls the whole attire together.

Last but definitely not least, opt for a pendant instead of a collar. The Alani Layered Clear Bead Necklace works great to give the outfit some well needed texture. Match it with The Amara Layered Bead Chain Bracelet for some colour and again extra texture.

We've sorted out what you're wearing.... you're on your own with the Barbecuing!

If you follow us on Facebook, you will know that we were crushing on classic cobalt last week!

It's bold, bright and looks great with a tan! It seems that it's one of the hottest colours to be seen in this SS15!

Anyone from the Kardashians to Reese Witherspoon have been spotted in some beautiful cobalt numbers this May. It is a colour that will suit any colouring, any hair tone and any size. If your not brave enough to go for the full attire, opt for a some cobalt accessories in the form heels, a clutch, jewellery or even a slick of cobalt eye liner!

For a twist on the classic cobalt, throw a clashing colour in such as orange for a 70's glam vibe.
