Eldorado Festival x Brothers Cider Sass

Hey dolls, 

Now some of you may know as the Queen of Sass, but this summer with the help of  I have transformed into a festival Queen with Brothers Cider at Eldorado Festival.

This year I made a return with my girls to my fave boutique festival Eldorado Festival which takes place at the beautiful Eastnor Castle. Aside from my obvious royal duties and getting my Sass on, this year I was on a mission!

We of course had to glamp in style with on site boutique accommodation Hotel Bell Tent. We didn't choose the glamping life, the glamping life chose us.

Now you all know I love any excuse to get my glow on, and festivals are of course one of the best places to come dressed over the top and extra AF! I had the pleasure of getting my glitter make up done by on of The Gypsy Shrine's glitter girls Skye Petrie. You can follow her on Instagram here. Also don't forgot to spot some of the Gypsy Shrine ladies that I snapped  for my Eldorado Festival best dressed album on the Brothers Cider social channels.

With my trusty camera in one hand and of course a can of Brothers Cider in the other, throughout the weekend I went on the sassiest of hunts to find the best dressed festival attendees. The fun packed weekend had a theme of 'Wild Things' on the Saturday and in true Eldorado tradition Sunday had to be a Gold theme. Click here to see an album of some of my sassy picks of festival attendee outfits. 

'Tis the season for all things glam, glow, glitz and EXTRA. I already can't wait to find out what the theme is for next year! Enjoy the rest of this summer of festivals, remember to drink responsibly and #glowgetem.

Stay Sassy & Sparkly, xoxo

London Lifestyle Awards Sass

Hello darlings,

How about we revisit the snapchat and Instagram stories fun I took you all on live whilst I attended the London Lifestyle Awards? #LLAwards2016

Kick starting the night off with a drinks reception and photographs, on the 3rd October guests arrived glamorous, dapper and of course sassy at London's luxurious Lancaster Hotel. Amongst myself and the guests including the beautiful Sinitta, Lady Victoria Hervey, Jodie Marsh, Michelle Heaton, Arlene Phillips, Vanesa Feltz, Denise Welch and several other well known faces.. We were treated to fine dining, live ballet performances and music acts. Not forgetting the fabulous hosting from Chris Hopkins who was in high sprits for the duration of the event, ensuring we were all kept entertained with his engaging wit.

The night was topped off by a live performance by Ben Ofoedu (leading singer of Phatts & Small) singing their international hit single "Turn Around." Although I was wearing 5 inch heels (and slightly regretting it after a couple of hours), that definitely didn't stop me and the rest of the guests dancing the night away. 

Congratulations to all of the winners and of course to the nominees. You are truly London's best of the best!

A MASSIVE thank you to House of CB for coming to my rescue and sorting me out with the absolutely beautiful gown I wore to the awards literally 2 hours before the event started (My other gown was mixed up with a different delivery date, typical.) Anyway, I suppose everything happens for a reason and in hindsight I definitely felt even sassier in this beautiful gown. (There's always room for more sass.)

Also can we please take a moment to give the LLA's CEO Jason Gale a HUGE round of applause (Or in this case go and like his recent insta pic... @jasonjgale) for creating such a wonderful annual event, now in their seventh year running, celebrating our beloved London "Open for business" and all it has to offer. 

Now for 2017!

Are you a London based business and believe that you are the best of the best? Or are you a member of the public who would like to suggest a potential nominee? Nominations are now OPEN for the London Lifestyle Awards 2017. Click here to make a nomination!

Bestival Sass

Bestival Sass

Hello lovely's,

What a fantastic end it was to 2016's festival season! I had the pleasure of spending four incredible days on the beautiful Isle of Wight getting my sass on at the renowned boutique music festival 'Bestival.' Four fun filled days consisting of music, dancing, exploring, activities oh and did I mention MORE dancing!

This year's theme was 'The Future Is Here', taking place from the 8th - 11th September the annual event aside from the live acts has a huge spotlight on the fancy dress themes. Now into their twelfth year the creativity put into the outfits certainly did not disappoint.

One of my favourite places within the festival definitely had to be the 'Dress Up Tent.' Inside this magical tent is where I was able to become the true festival QUEEN! Inside were a plethora of festival chic and costume brands topped off with a makeup station and lashes for days. Literally days, I've never witnessed so many at once in my life!

 I was spoiled by the absolute babes from State of Disarray who so kindly dressed myself and a friend in their amazing festival themed attire throughout our stay. They so rightly call state that they are 'A Reckless Fashion Revolution.' Make sure to check out their store here.

During my stay at the festival I was also treated to amaaaaazing festival inspired make up by the talented Naomi from Poppy & Perle who specialise unique bespoke face and body art. Kitted out with an impressive collection of face paint, glitter, sequins you name it! To see more of their work check out their website here.

Ok so admittedly I spent a generous amount of my time in the 'Dress up Tent', but how on earth could I resist?! When I initially walked in it was literally as if I had entered the ultimate festival goddess' dream closet fit fulfil all of my sassy needs. I think it's safe to say that I shall definitely be paying the tent a visit for Bestival 2017!

 See you in there ;)

Each year Bestival boasts of an impressive line up. This years consisting of headliners Major Lazor, The Cure, Hot Chip, from Wiz Khalifa, Sean Paul along side a long list of more eclectic music acts in the mix. Katy B was amazing FYI!

For those who were unable to attend the festival, Red Bull TV was on site from the 9th - 11th September live streaming the event. Click here to watch an exclusive interview with Craig David as he sits down with Red Bull TV to talk about his experience at Bestival and a few more juicy insights into his career, bringing people together with his music and "Creating a time stamp in people's lives." What a legend!

This was my first time attending Bestival and visiting the Isle of Wight and it was one of the most unique experiences I have ever encountered. With so much to offer, I absolutely loved the fun packed four days and definitely did not want it to end. 

I'll definitely be returning for Bestival 2017 and I already cannot wait for the reveal of the fancy dress theme! Make sure to check out their website here and to sign up to their mailing list for all future announcements. Pssst... 2017 early bird tickets go on sale at 10am Monday 19th September. See you all next year!

Stay Sassy, xoxo
