Trends | White & Laced

Ok, this trend might not be the most suitable for the fields of Glasto but nothing compliments a summer-holiday tan more than a gorgeous white lacey dress, and this year the high street is teeming with them.

I love this trend as it's a little bit girly & cutesy but with a hippie/boho edge to it. Dress a simple lace dress up with either lace up gladiators or killer heels for a night out, then a fedora and 70’s inspired boots for the day. Go for off the shoulder with lots of wrist accessories for that extra on trend bohemian look.

Here are my picks of the best high street buys and some Pinterest inspo that will make you long for anything floaty and laced to dance about at sunset in.

I am loving the 70's hippie crochet trend at the moment. It's getting me very excited for the festival season even though I am not going to any this year. I was inspired by this Rat and Boa crochet kimono to make a casual summer cover up using brightly coloured crocheted granny squares, perfect for the festival season.

We set ourselves a budget for spending money when we got there, as Stockholm can be pricey if your not careful, but surprisingly we managed to do ALOT in three days without blowing our budget! So here are my top five things to do in Stockholm & tips for saving money ...
