We're off to The End Of the Road Festival! I'm scheduling this post so hopefully we'll be cracking open our first cider by the time you read this, looking forward to a weekend which includes performances by Patti Smith and Alabama Shakes.
Aside from the 1970s nightie I'm wearing I've packed three maxi dresses and two mini dresses, a stack of jewellery and head dresses, tights, five pairs of over-the-knee socks, waterproofs, false eyelashes, neon lipstick, waterproof eye liner, a floppy felt hat, wellies, a set of thermal underwear, 2 x long sleeved tops, leggings, a parasol, an umbrella, fingerless gloves, a bikini...
a fake fur coat, sunglasses, bindis, flip-flops, a sun hat and a fake fur hood. That should just about cover a typical weekend of British weather.

| 1970s nightie (from Helga), 1960s tote bag (from Clare), Purple skull and stud bracelets (made by Krista) , Hush Puppy boots (£1.50, car boot sale), denim waistcoat (£2.49, Acorns Hospice) |
I promise to catch up with you all when we get back!
Have a fab weekend!

I think you are covered for all the british weather can throw at you - hope its more bikini than wellie weather but seeing the forecast perhaps an inflatable boat might be a good idea?
ReplyDeleteI am a big Patti Smith fan so well jel!
ReplyDeleteI hear the weather is getting better this weekend. Hope you have a festival full of frolics and fun.
Hope you have a lovely time. I really fancied going to that festival but alas Roberta is due her MOT. Perhaps next year. Fingers crossed for good weather for you although I am sure it will be fantastic whatever.
ReplyDeleteGreat British weathr huh?
ReplyDeleteI've always said vintage nighties make good frocks these days but no-one wears em like you. It rocks!
You'll be the best dressed bird there. Enjoy the sounds and the cider. x
ReplyDeleteWow, that is some packing list! We've been so used to 30+ Celcius weather all summer I can't imaging packing a fur hat and coat. Have a marvelous weekend, and blow a kiss at Patti for me...
ReplyDeleteYup! think you should just about have a typical British weekend covered weatherwise ;D Looove the nightie. Linda xxx
ReplyDeleteWOOHOOOOOOOOO!!!
ReplyDeleteO,have a brillant time,darlings!
Looking as fabulous as that, and having all that divine finery, how can you not have a great time?!
Looking forward to the pix,ENJOY!
Love Helga xxxXXXxxx
Oooh, I'm excited for you. Patti Smith will be brilliant I'm sure. Fabulous nightie. Enjoy. xx
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you managed to get a car boot in before you set off.
ReplyDeleteI know you'll have a wonderful time. Speak soon xxx
Your festival gear looks wonderful - have a fabulous time!
ReplyDeleteYou are one well prepared lady! I am looking forward to seeing the pictures of the festival and that purple nightie is so lovely, definitely needs to be shared with the world!
ReplyDeleteYou look fab in your "nightie"! And Gilbert is looking pretty good himself! Have a fab time, hoist a pint for me, and throw Patti kisses from me! (Gosh I can't believe its been so long since I've seen her last... it was the last night of CBGB and she sang on and on like if she could ward away it closing down by not stopping!) XXX Suzanne
ReplyDeleteLove that faux fur coat!!! PS. I'd love it if you could come visit my blog and follow me if you like it!!

You really are prepared for anything! Have a great time. I saw Patti Smith play with Grateful Dead at my university in 1979. Unfortunately, I don't remember the concert at all :(
ReplyDeleteHave fun! That nightie looks absolutely fab, as does all of your packing. I find packing for a weekend is the hardest because you never know what the weather will do!
ReplyDeletePatti Smith? I have major envy. It looks like you're prepared for everything except possibly snow. Have fun.
ReplyDeletePatti Smith is my favourite singer/poet/general badass. I hope you have/are having a fabulous time. I love your nightie as dress.
ReplyDeleteGreat packing I think your prepared for any weather!! Have fun!! Love Heather
ReplyDeleteI am sure you will have fantastickle time you gorgeous creature!!
ReplyDeleteI love the nightie you are wearing, such a beautiful colour. Also you the way you listing your bikini last, ever hopeful. I do hope you both have a great time, and I will be hoping for sunshine this weekend. HAVE FUN X
ReplyDeleteShould be so pretentious that I say that Patti Smith's Just Kids, changed my life (just a little bit, but yet)
ReplyDeleteWahh, I thought you'd packde for a year away from that list, ha ha ha! But I guess you have to cover all weather possibilities, what a drag!
ReplyDeleteHey Vix, I nominated you for a Liebster award
ReplyDeletehttp://hellothemushroom.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/my-very-first-award.html
Have lots of fun, and take lots of pics for us! Hope you need your bikini more than your wellies but it'd be foolish to go anywhere in Britain without your wellies wouldn't it. xx
ReplyDeleteIs that all you packed?! I'm sure you must have forgotten something, although darned if I know what it might be. Hope you are having a great time.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Rosemary from www.foreveronthecatwalkoflife.blogspot.com
Wow have an amazing time,wow love this nighty,you look great :)
ReplyDeleteThat purple dress is stunning on you x
ReplyDeleteOh sorry and have a good time x
ReplyDeletePatti Smith? Ooh, she is a goddess. She should invite you up on stage to dance. The spread of your clothes waiting for the adventure ahead is so inviting. If I were a cat I'd sit in the middle, especially of the fake furs, and have a big stretch, then bathe. Heavenly. Thermal underwear and a bikini, I'm glad you're prepared!
ReplyDeleteOh Vix the colour of the nightie is yummy!!!! Yay to a fabulous weekend of cider and music. Gilbert looks ready for the trip to the end of the road. Hmmmm packing is an art form for sure. I am already missing my wardrobe.
ReplyDeleteHave a great fun!!!!
Love v
Enjoy!!!

I hope you are having a wonderful time festivalling, Vix. Say Hello to Patti to me - my, she was such an important influence on my 14 years old self. xoxo
ReplyDeleteYou gorgeous spirit you! Have fun at the festival!
ReplyDeleteI am so envious. Patti Smith AND Alabama Shakes (who was in Denver this summer). I'm sure that your ensembles will equal the performances.
ReplyDeleteHi Vix, I hope you have a fab time and love your packing list. Enjoy Patti Smith!
ReplyDeletexp, Bonnie
Hope you had a great time at the festival and that the weather gave you the opportunity to wear your gorgeous clothes. Let us know how it went, especially Patti's performance - her 'Horses' album is a classic. xxx
