Music Festival season is here again, with Glastonbury happening next weekend and Coachella, California is already a memory now , but its style influence will set the trends for festival wear for 2016. I'm all about getting that designer festival look without spending designer prices and if you can make it yourself, all the better. It will be a unique piece created by you. Here are some of the trends seen at Coachella which will hopefully give you some ideas for your festival look for Longitude and Electric Picnic to mention just a few happening here in Ireland this summer.
Retro 70's Inspiration
is one of the most popular trends on the catwalks this year, with Bohemian prints, florals and lots of crochet elements and they are ideal for outdoor festivals. Kendall Jenner wowed in a vintage crochet dress, crossbody bag and statement necklace. You could make your own crochet dress using this fab pattern sold on Etsy. Etsy is an online craft marketplace where you can buy all things handmade and be inspired by other crafters.

Of course we do live in Ireland and the weather is not going to be Californian hot, so we need to have a stylish coverup to see us through our cooler festival weather.
This crochet top looks great on Selena Gomez and is one you can recreate too.

I know these projects take time but as you can see they don't date
and always seem to come back in vogue. So don't throw any of these hand mades out they will soon be 'vinatge' just like Kendall's dress.
