What We’re Packing For Newport Folk Festival

Come Thursday, Natalie and I will be headed north to Rhode Island for Newport Folk Festival. The last time I had to pack for a festival seems like ages ago. SXSW back in March was the last major festival I attended, so I’m excited to get my suitcase back out for another trip! I’ve never been to this fest, or Rhode Island for that matter, so all new experiences are on the horizon. We’ll be exploring the town, hanging out with Free People Providence, and enjoying the music. Situated against Newport Harbor, I’ve heard you never run out of pretty things to feast your eyes on while dancing and moving about the festival grounds. Keep an eye out for us, as we’ll be capturing all of our favorite festival looks on Friday! As for our wardrobes, summer layering is what we have in mind. Shorts, tanks and tees during the day, but still remembering a sweater to cozy up with in the evening. Here’s what we’re taking with us:

What To Wear To Australia’s Favorite Festival!

A distinct aesthetic has been emerging from Splendour in the Grass over the fourteen years the festival has been running, with a healthy douse of neutral hues and earthy textures, eclecticism is in. The name of the game is more, more, more! The thing I love about Splendour is the style evolves year after year. More recently we’ve noticed the diversion away from flower crowns to a more Western-inspired aesthetic. Think denim overalls, bandanas and cowboy boots with a clean and modern twist.

There are a few non-negotiables for Splendour style though, including your trusty pair of comfortable boots for stomping your way across the festival site. The more beat up, the better! Next are your statement sunglasses, mountains of turquoise and coin jewelry and a cute cross body bag.

Here are four looks we can’t wait to rock at Splendour this year!

Bestival: What We’re Packing for This UK Festival

Next weekend I will be hopping, skipping, jumping to the Isle of Wight, a small island just off England’s southern coast, for a final farewell to both summer and the season’s final festival. Bestival has long been on my festi-wishlist; I have only ever heard good things about it, and especially loved its implementation of a party theme! Needless to say, when I heard that this year’s was marked as the ‘Summer of Love,’ I had to go in celebration of Free People’s essence!

When announcing “Summer of Love,” Bestival summed it up beautifully. “It’s about positivity, peace & love and bananas, not guns. We want all people, all sexes, all ages, all cultures to come together and to share the good times, to celebrate the simple joy of unity, to feel the unparalleled pleasures of dancing shoulder to shoulder with wonderful strangers and loving every second. We want the greatest party of all time”.

I couldn’t be more excited! And to help be inspired for Bestival, in true Summer of Love style, I called upon three of my favourite British boho babes, who live everyday like it’s 1967! These gals ooze the free spirit of this beautiful era, and were happy to offer outfit tips from the FP rails on how to unleash my inner hippie! Keep an eye out for me, as I’ll be snapping all of my favorite festival looks throughout the weekend.

I’ll leave you with Sara, Imogen and Leigh… I’m off to pack!

Keeping in mind the Summer of Love theme, I was drawn to light colours, florals, pinks and creams. I love the beautiful bell sleeves on this vintage-inspired lace dress – so 70s and perfect for twirling and dancing at Bestival.

Beyoncé's Best Fashion Moments

Beyonce is pretty much queen of the world. Right?

We mean, she's been around since 1998. And back in those Destiny's Child days, she was fortunate enough to rock every fashion trend under the sun.

Stretchy camo print co-ords? Flared jeans and butterfly tops? Metallic hot pants and matching bandeaus? You name it, they rocked it.

But it was when Bey went solo that she really came into her own. Suddenly, the wild curls were gone, and in their place a sleek, high-volume blow dry.

The make-up became more polished, and the wardrobe more designer. Who could forget when the singer sauntered into the 2003 MTV Awards in a plunging gold sequin dress, officially cementing her status as pop's most glamorous one-to-watch?

After a brief dabble wearing her mum's House of Dereon designs, Bey soon developed a taste for high fashion. 

These days, you'll see her working dramatic Givenchy Emilio Pucci fishtail frocks at the Met Gala, gliding onto red carpets in Lavin floor-sweepers or even rocking Topshop on holiday.

And we haven't even got onto her stage ensembles yet. This superstar is so fashion conscious that she gets the likes of Tom Ford and Versace to design her outfits these days. And let's just say the more sequins, the better.

Bey, never stop wowing us in the style stakes, girl.

DHANI'S COZY, AUTHENTIC FISHERMAN'S SWEATER

&Daughter Aran knit sweater, $260, available at Nordstrom. Though I despise winter, I probably have more sweaters than anything else in my closet. And even though I truly do not need any more of them, I can't stop finding extremely desirable jumpers (as the Brits call them) in every store I walk into. As a compromise, I invest in one, maybe two, really, really good sweaters each season that I know will stand the test of time, starting with this one. Knitwear label &Daughter produces all of its sweaters in Scotland and Ireland, where Aran sweaters — also known as fisherman's sweaters — originated. In addition to its products' provenance, the brand emphasizes its dedication to using the best yarns and finishing everything by hand, resulting in one of the coziest, warmest and most classic-looking fisherman's sweaters out there. (The brand makes a lot of great non-fisherman's sweaters, too.) It's a little pricey, but given its construction and authenticity, and the fact that it will (hopefully) be the only sweater I buy this season, it's worth it. &Daughter Aran knit sweater, $260, available at Nordstrom. Update: That sweater has unfortunately sold out since we posted it. Sad! More options here and here. Please note: Occasionally, we use affiliate links on our site.
