A Midsummer Day's Festival

 The festive season has morphed into the festival season, and we can all play like its a public holiday (almost) EVERYDAY!  

The LANEWAY FESTIVAL hits Brisbane, Australia, today and my spies tell me you may need to pack a rain poncho, but don't let that dampen your spirits (or wine, or soda)...

//Keep hydrated & PARTY ON!!//

 These are some rad festival staples we'll be styling as we let our hair down enjoying the sounds of summer.  What's YOUR festival go-to-style??
