Im sad to be posting this entry from my bed in Sydney, as saying goodbye and leaving Byron Bay would have been one of the hardest things i've had to do all year. Byron is without a doubt one of the most beautiful place in Australia and the amazing long white beaches contrasted with the steep hills and vast country side made for an incredible sight hard to leave.
Australia's infamous and biggest music festival 'Splendour in the Grass' is what brought us to Byron this time round and I must say the all time music festival's name should seriously be reconsidered after little grass could be seen or stomped on at this years festival, being largely replaced with mud and deep, sticky swamp - however much to the dislikes of others the muddy environment in my opinion, gave the weekend some unconventional character as walking around seeing festival goers covered head to toe in the swampy surroundings or getting sucked knee deep into the mud gave cause for lots of laughs. That aside the festival lived up to more than its expectations being unquestionably one of the best and most exciting weekends of my life.
The adventure started with a 10 hour road trip from Sydney to Byron which was something in itself, to then arriving at a beautiful villa ironically called 'Bali in Byron' where we stayed for four nights, the days following that where then filled with sunshine, rain, music and copious amounts of dancing. Can't believe the splendid weekend is already over, can't wait until next year to do it all again !
The beautiful villa me and ten of my friends we're lucky enough to call home for a few nights, with 3 separate villas and decked out with a pool and cabana styled spa.
Day 1's outfit Splendid Stripes Inspired Outfit
Wearing: Nasty Gal White Lace off Shoulder dress, Fallen Broken street "Brown Hippie hat'
The Tipi Forest where we undoubtedly spent way to much time
Recovering Trips into Byron Bay
After having only a few hours sleep on the first night Jess and I still managed to find our way into main Byron Shops for some reviving. The colourful and individual array of shops we're easy to spend way too much time and money in (not that I was complaining) and the small town was vibrant with interesting people, street art and cute little corner cafes and an overall laid back, hippie style town that was sad to say goodbye too.
Wearing: Tigerlily Skirt, Kookai Top, General Pants jacket, Bag from markets
Outfit day 3
I regrettably didn't get more photos in this outfit as I believe it summed up Splendour's festival vibe in a nut shell, quite literally 'Splendouring in some grass' had its advantages being an awesome conversation starter and the cause for making some interesting new friends as the amount of comments I had on my pants were to many to count!
Wearing: Black Milk Weed leggings, Nasty gal Top, Bag from market, and Wellington boots
