Festival Season Here I Come!

WIth Glastonbury, Isle of Wight and Radio One's Big Weekend just around the corner it seems that the time is now to embrace your inner Kate Moss and make sure you can be a festival fashionista with the minimum of fuss.

The key to looking good - whatever the weather! - is to pack light and pack right. Being prepared for cooler nights with extra layers and for muddy fields with a pair of must-have wellies, will help you look and feel your best. Whereas you may be tempted to pack all your favourite summer dresses and far too many t-shirts, remember that one dress and one jumpsuit are lighter to carry, perfect to layer up or down and will give you different looks when you combine them with different accessories.

Vintage looking accessories are perfect for the festival season - but remember to only take low cost items with you and not family heirlooms (tents are not known for their security!). Hippy bangles are perfect to dress up your maxi dress (this summer's must have look) and the peacock bracelet is one of our summer favourites at just £12. For those loving the ethnic trend this year the chunky oval horn bracelet at £12 is a great statement bracelet.

With the jumpsuit one of the key looks for 2009, long necklaces are perfect to dress them up or down. The gold and wooden bead necklace at just £11 is a perfect way to take your jumpsuit from day to night. Bright colours are huge for 2009 and an easier way to get bang on trend without wearing neon from top to toe is to choose one of the quirky bright necklaces such as the turquoise faceted bead necklace for just £12.

Ethnic earrings are perfect for the boho chic trend with the black faceted bead earrings at just £14 a gorgeous addition to your festival must-have list.

So with accessories sorted all that's left is for the Pearl and Butler team to give you our top five other festival must-haves: 1) face wipes 2) waterproof mascara (best invention ever) 3) sunglasses - perfect to hide the lack of sleep we've had 4) hunter wellies (a girl can dream) and finally 5) our festival friend dry hair shampoo - one quick spray and we're good to go!
