Festival Season is upon us and that means digging out those gumboots and whipping out the sunnies for the ultimate musical experience.
One of our lucky interns made it to acclaimed Aussie
festival Splendour in the Grass and has tried and tested the survival methods
of festival life so you lot can arrive (and stay) in style for your next
venture.
We all know that trying
to maintain glamour in the grunge is no mean feat so this is how to keep chic
when you’re knee high in mud and completely showerless:
1. Wash before you leave. And we don’t just mean your average shower session, we mean full on head to toe scrub-a-dub-dub-ing. Loufas out, shower gel a go and more bubbles than a bottle of Moet.
2. Make a splenderific playlist. Of course stick in tracks from the artists you’ll be seeing on stage but we all know no car journey is complete without a tone-deaf cheesy sing-a-long session. So think Footloose, ABBA, Spice Girls and Wham!

3. Glamp it up (if the budget allows). Glamping is
the new found phenomenon for ladies who love festivals but are somewhat
hesitant to throw themselves head first into the mud. This fancy method means
you can keep all your home comforts under one luxury roof and experience
festivals in the most VIP way possible.
5. Plan your priorities. It may seem like the actions of a funsponge to plan ahead when it comes to festivals but it is the best thing to do to make sure you don’t miss anything in the mayhem. Grab the line up timetable and have a quick sesh with your mates to see what they want to watch and plan which stage you need to be to for what time – trust us, it will avoid any mid-festival-mourning over the act that you missed by mistake.
6. Boobs vs legs. It’s the debate of women worldwide as too much of both is an instant slut formula. Our advice is go for the legs. Cover up on top and release a cheeky bit of thigh above the welly boot for the ultimate festival sex appeal. The brucey bonus for this trick is that once the sun goes down and you are wedged in the mosh at the main stage the penguin effect takes place and the huddled crowd will keep your exposed pins nice and toastie.
7. Accessories. Whether you are a flower girl or bling queen, pretty much everything goes at festivals. Bindis, wreaths, henna, anklets, rings, glasses, piercings, face paint - anything! So decorate yourself head to toe to make your everyday shorts and tshirt combo festival ready.
10. Put the buttcheeks away. It seems the world has hit a trend where shorts have transformed into denim knickers with pockets out the front and arses out the back. This is not a good look. For anyone. So tuck the cheeks in and zap the class up. Shorts = good, buttcheeks = heeellllll no.
