Sweet like Miss Mackintosh

So here at Recessionista HQ we spent the weekend oozing through all the celeb party pix from this years Glastonbury festival..yes we are jealous, yes it looked amazing and yes we are still sulking that we weren't there!

There were lots of fashion victims in attendance, that literally made us want to throw up and/or scratch our eyes out at the very sight of them but then, then we came across the super stylish Miss Millie Mackintosh and all made sense the world! Yes, the confectionery heiress melted our hearts with her fun, sexy and practical fashion choices and for that we now have a major girl crush on her!

By all reports Millie (engaged to 'bad boy' rapper Prof Green..swoon) stole the show and won this years festival fashion war and by now you are all on the edge of your seats just dying to steal her style...and we're here to help!

Look one: Floral Head Band

(Photo from Millie's Instagram Account > @camillamackintosh)

We love these options from The Button and Bow Factory for floral headbands, sickly sweet summer style!

Hot Bun Crown €16 (above) or  Coral Ring o' Roses headband (below) €22!

Look Two : Frilly festival Summer Dress!

Amazingly we found Millie's actual dress...now you can have it too from Spoiled Brat for €140.11!

Finishing the look off with a festival must have - the fedora - we love this one from MissGuided 

(€19.23)

Add the final touch to this girly ensemble with a dainty gold infinity symbol necklace from 

Black Tied

£16.00

(www.blacktied.co.uk)

Our personal favourite festival look from the sexy yet sweet Millie Mackintosh is this edgy yet practical crop top and hot pants combo!

(image - instagram @camillamackintosh)

Wear it your way with this budget busting crop top from BooHoo.Com for only €8!!

Who likes short shorts? We do, and we love this military style pair and black velvet drape from River Island 

Above (€12) Below (€14)

Keeping in line with the military theme, we have been pining over this khaki PU leather sleeve parka from Pretty Little Thing for €57 and now we have the perfect excuse to buy it, we want to be like Millie Mack, it's good enough reason for us anyway! 

Fashion shouldn't be taken too seriously and Mills 

(yes we're giving her a new nickname because in our head shes our new BFF)

proves that with a cute patent novelty lip shaped bag, we found this little gem on Ebay for €29!

Thanks for reading, we hope we've inspired your shopping for the next few days!

Festival Fever

Its that time of year again, festival fever has taken over the world and yes its super exciting but whether you're hitting up Tomorrowland, Oxegen or just a small town event you need to be festival fashion ready and we are here to help!

Now everybody knows that wellies are festival must haves but this year we have found something a little different, introducing........

Moxie

Moxie Girl boots are the hot new trend among Irish celebs and fashionistas!

They are available in a range of colours or keep them totally clear and style them your way with coloured tights, printed socks or a mix of both!

Boots can be ordered via their Facebook Page, payments through PayPal, they're an Irish company and the very best part? They're only €39.99!

All pix are from the Moxie Facebook page, check them out for more info and style inspo!

Now that you've got your footwear sorted we'll move on!

We've spent the last couple of weeks trawling through hundreds of sites to try to find the best places to blog about and one of our absolute favourites is Custom Flutterby they have the most amazing custom denim shorts and converse but for our favourite festival picks we are in love with this pink skull custom shirt for only €20 including p&p!

As always PrettyLittleThing.Com had just what we needed for our denim shorts selection and we just love this bleach denim pair for just €25 and they have these super cool over the knee pink socks that would work perfectly with those Moxie boots!

Another fabulous website that we found is The Button and Bow Factory with accessories to suit every budget, you will be sure to find something that suits you! These are our best bits to match this festival outfit!

Pink Love Heart Double Ring €2

Gold Stretch Spike Bracelet €4

Pink Braided Charm Bracelet €8

No festival outfit would be complete without a super stylish Parka and we love this one from BooHoo.com for only €45
