Height. Of. Fashion.
Hidmarch's bag was evidently a huge success story for the little-known-to-the-masses English accessories designer. Suddenly, on everyone's arm was a declaration that their bag was fashion-savvy AND sustainable. Apparently the £5 was so phenomenonely popular that 30 were treated in hospital after being caught in what was described as a scrum. Oh my...
Don't worry, I wouldn't really recommend wearing an Emergency Poncho in normal situations (although it was strangely comfortable and warm...)- I was only wearing it because it was meant to rain at the Parklife music festival a couple of weeks back with my besties Anne & Lisa.
The day in 2 disjointed paragraphs: Discovering the amazing band Metronomy, which in my opinion took the crown for best performance for their witty tunes and hilarious frontman. Successfully maneuvering our way to the front of the biggest stage to see Empire of the Sun, which was a bit of a let down with Luke Steele having to perform solo. The swordfish women.
My new favourite band
Appreciating Bertie Blackman's pitch perfect blues voice. Eating $5 cup-o-chips and "wood-fired" pizza. Stomping in the mud. Walking the greatest distance of my life back and forth, back and forth over Moore Park. Actually enjoying the number one chav in the world, Miss Lady Sovereign. Shaking it to La Roux "This time baby I'll be, bulleeeet proof...". Maneuvering our way out of the crowds to catch the final song of the night- The Rapture's No Sex for Ben.
In sum, it was 10 hours of awesome.
And how did fashion play in? The muddy fields were transformed into a giant runway of gumboot fashion- spots, stripes, Hello Kitty, you name it. Fortunately my mum had come back from Japan the other week and had coincidently bought me a blue floral pair of gumboots.
Others weren't so lucky... Anne and Lisa went on a manic search for gumboots, only to find that they were sold out everywhere! There was no other option, but to buy some silver Dunlops. Good work girls!
