Fest On

Festival season is upon us.  I welcome it warmly and all it entails. What a contagious energy surrounding  this time.  There is much to anticipate with festivals. Music being the primary attraction, but the artists, authentic food (crawfish bread!), refreshing drinks and thousands of high- spirited festival goers create the ideal atmosphere for the event.

The Essentials

Besides enthusiasm, here is my list of essentials during festival time.

1. Sunblock is crucial at an outdoor festival. Don't leave the festival with wrinkles and sun damage.  

2. Playsuit from American Apparel. Effortless and easy, enough said.

3. Sun hat sported by Vanessa Hudgens here. Another great way to vier off the sun. 

4. Fanny packs are a practical accessory when festing. Holds phone, keys, camera, money and you are     hands free. 

5. Comfortable shoes without sacrificing style. Just bought these Crocs for my terribly sore feet. They don't just offer comfort, but a very dainty, summer shoe. Previously, crocs are infamous for their hideous clog, but not anymore.
