Body & Soul
09:33
Body and Soul is my favourite festival! It's always so magic, there is so much to do and so much detail goes into everything there! After being last year and having such a fabulous time I wasn't sure whether it could possibly top my expectations but it did! The weather for once at an Irish festival was perfect! There was of course 1 or 2 showers but only at times when it wasn't really majorly important because it was in the morning time when most of us were wrapped up in our tents!
My absolute favourite thing about Body & Soul I think is going down I knew perhaps 1 or 2 of the acts listed on the line up but I enjoyed every single act I saw play! My musical highlight though was definitely finding a reggae night in a tiny little food tent on the Saturday night. There was 1 guy singing live who had the most amazing voice and then a guy DJ'ing straight after! Sadly it ended quite early but as soon as one stage ended we continuously made our way to other stages until there was nothing else to see! We did this on the Sunday too but everything ended much earlier... However on the way back to the campsite one of the structures in place in the main arena happened to become a drum like instrument and people began making music, LOL!
After being so pleased with my life outfits I was unsure whether I would be able to top them for Body & Soul especially with a lack of money due to intense saving for Asia, but a little bit of DIY and borrowing from friends I was so so please with my looks for all 3 days!
Here they are...
DAY 1
Shorts - Borrowed from a friend
Kimono - Lucys Lounge Dublin
Bralette - Penneys/Primark
Fishnets - Penneys/Primark
DAY 2
Bodysuit - Bought from H&M I then glued the pink fluffy boa and diamonds on (Both from eBay)
Tights - Costume shop Dublin
Hat - DIY initially bought on eBay
DAY 3
This look was by far my favourite! After my Birthday I treated myself and ordered this beautiful custom two piece from the AMAZING Unexampledapparel! They make the most amazing festival pieces and are a very reasonable price! For this beautiful two piece I only paid about €50 including the shipping from the UK! The best thing is wearing one of their designs you're bound to be one of a kind!
To buy bits go to their Instagram or else they do have an etsy page! I went through instagram though as I wanted mine to be custom! Be sure to give them a follow!
MY FACE!
Once again I have the amazing Festi Fox for providing me with a weekends worth of stunning face gems and this time a fabulous chest one also! They were all so beautiful and lasted the entire weekend!
Be sure to follow @Festi_Fox on Instagram and watch out on their website because they have some fabulous new designs coming your way in July!!!
Again of all my other glitters on my face are from eBay!
MY HAT
This is one thing I am super proud of! I came across a similar kinds of designs everywhere on Instagram and I was set on getting my hands on one however most places sold them for crazy crazy prices. One place I looked at charged 200 pounds upwards! So I decided to get a bit creative and make my own! I ordered the hat from eBay and it initially looked like this...
With a little bit of spray paint, pink feather boa, glue gun, diamonds, cow print material and glitter I transformed it into my own amazing hat which I adore!! In total after buying the hat and all the bits I would say the max it cost me was €20!!!
