OOTD: Practically Boho

 Miss Selfridge Kimono

With it being Radio One's Big Weekend this Bank Holiday, I feel like the festival season is about to start with a bang! And that means Summer is finally on the way, HURRAY!!

We've been crazy busy at work (Rock On Ruby)  preparing for our new "festival-inspired"  Summer range... I can't WAIT to get it online!! (Think bold, bright colours, music quotes and slogans). Unfortunately, the weather has been a bit miserable up North this week, so I've had to adapt the festival-boho trend to our current climate!

A kimono is one of the handiest items to have in Summer - they're great and lightweight enough to wear during the day, but will give you a bit of extra cover in the cooler evenings. I would normally team a kimono with a slogan top and shorts, but for a more practical look at the moment, I've teamed this with ripped jeans, shoe boots and a boho top.

I think that even though the top and kimono are different prints, the muted tones make these work quite well together. The rest of the outfit is quite simple so the jewellery can do all the talking...

In other news, I've recently dyed my hair a fab, ombre purple with Wella Instamatics. The colours are beautifully subtle, so actually it's more of a light, silvery-lilac-grey than vivid purple. But I'm hoping to keep it up with a hint of purple shampoo!

If you have any tips of good purple shampoos, do comment below!

  3. Ooo I do love a good kimono, especially one like this! The weather really has put a dampener on the upcoming festival season hasn't it? I mean, I know this is Manchester but surely it has to stop raining at some point!?
