It's day 56 of my European trip, and every time I open my suitcase I want to bawl my eyes out because I am so darn tired of wearing the.same.clothes. The thought that is getting me through, is that Australian festival season is almost upon us - I get home in time for the weekend of Listen.Out which is only the beginning of all the craziness and fun outfits.

I was lucky enough to be in Germany for Melt! Festival, and I still have Leeds and possibly Selektor to go - so I sent 5 kilos of clothes back home to Australia so I can start building my festival wardrobe. My number one rule is always BE BOLD. I'm all about mixing patterns and textures, and layering too many different kinds of jewellery. The secret behind pulling it off is confidence. Believe that you're working your outfit and I promise you will be!

What you see above are some pieces that I'm loving for this festival season! So fun xxx

WEAR WHAT HOW?: Boyfriend Jeans

Hey Boyfriend x by binky-mirage featuring baggy boyfriend jeans

Mango black knit shirt, 21 AUD / FrenchTrotters femme jacket, 470 AUD / One Teaspoon baggy boyfriend jeans, 170 AUD / Jeffrey Campbell ankle booties, 190 AUD / Illesteva sunglasses, 175 AUD 

Boyfriend jeans are everywhere this winter, they are the perfect daytime wardrobe staple as they can be worn with just about anything. However, not all pairs will suit every body shape so take the time to find the right style for you!

1) Boyfriend jeans are baggy. Be conscious to buy a pair that fits snugly around the hips or you will look like you're swimming in denim. They should flaunt your hips and bum, not hide them!

2) Avoid wearing long oversized shirts with these jeans, you can end up looking frumpy due to
the lack of visible waist line. Opt for cropped and slim-fitting tees, then keep warm by adding a blazer or anorak.

3) Roll the ankles! Perfect for evening wear by pairing with some heels, this is the perfect touch of femininity. Be aware if you're short that 'capri' length jeans can make you look shorter so roll your jeans to just above the ankles.
