I like to think of myself as a music festival veteran, I've been going for years and it's one of the things I love about the summer. I've had my fair share of highs and lows including torrential rain at Glastonbury, scorching heat at Reading and a ton of amazing bands and camp fire stories in between. The bad weather and mud doesn't get to me that much as it's all part of the experience. The first year I went to Glasto it was so muddy and I spent the entire weekend trying not to fall over but by Sunday evening I gave into gravity and fell all over the place getting covered from head to toe. It was messy but it was a laugh and to me, that what festivals are all about. However, I would of course prefer there were dry conditions as it makes manoeuvring across camp sites and awful lot easier! This summer I am waving farewell to Reading and Leeds festival which have given me plenty of great memories for sunnier skies and heading to Rock en Seine in Paris for the bank holiday weekend. France is a bit far to travel for a festival but my favourite band in the entire world are headlining the Sunday evening. That would be Green Day if you didn't already know. A day ticket at the Parisian festival is only £40 compared to the £100 mockery Reading and Leeds charge so it's a pretty sweet deal if you ask me. Of course there are Eurostar and hotel prices on top of that but I get a long weekend in Pairs as a result so it's completely worth it in my opinion.

With all my festival experience I've become a dab hand at knowing how to stay cool and comfortable and still get into that festival style. For me it's about mixing patterns and wearing something fun that you might not normally feel comfortable wearing at home. Pairs is going to be hot so I don't need to worry about waterproofs which also means I can ditch my Hunters for more comfortable footwear i.e my trusty Converse. I'm a big fan of shorts at festivals, it get windy and there's a lot of sitting on the floor involved so it's best to have your derriere covered. I was sent these clashing shorts and tshirt from the George at Asda to put a festival outfit together and with my trusty denim jacket, a pair of ridiculous sunglasses, silly socks and my bumbag for hands free dancing I'm all ready for the festival season to begin.
