Synergy 2013 – Festival Fashion

These day’s festivals have become a lot more than just listening to music and camping. What you wear to festivals is a huge thing. Synergy 2013 was held at Teewaterskloof dam from the 29^th November until the 1^st of December 2013. The fashion this year at Synergy was absolutely incredible! It was very 'boho goddess' style, with crop tops, baggy shirts, tie dye, headbands, high waisted shorts and feather hair clips!
I was absolutely enchanted with all the unbelievably amazing fashion trends at Synergy 2013 that I decided to show you some of my 'must-have' festival fashion trends for 2013/2014 festival season!

Montino Wines at Synergy 2013

Montino Wines had a wonderful activation store at Synergy 2013! It was filled with hot guys, girls in bikini's,  swimming pools, colourful couches and a really awesome dj playing some sick beats. Oh... and did I mention there was loads and loads of wine going around? Yes! With three awesome wines to choose from (Petillant Light,Petillant Rose and Montino Rosso) it was certainly a hot spot at Synergy! The pool and couches made for an awesome chill area while we watched awesome local and international artists performing from the main stage!

Make sure to follow Montino on Twitter and keep your fridge stocked up with these low sugar, incredibly refreshing drinks!

One thing I would really recommend is making a diary before the time and write down exactly who you want to see, what stage they are playing and what time their set is!

Four Days Until Synergy!

Yes, it's Monday. But there is no need to be gloomy and grey! Synergy is on it's way!
Here are some awesome party Gif's to turn your Monday from a boring one to a 'let's go party' one !

Why be sad?

Synergy is on it's way, so get ready to PARTY!

Create Your Own

Create Your Own has a colour called Orchard that I absolutely adore! I'ts from the Chubby Lips range and it is a thick pencil  crayon lipstick that you draw on to your lips. Not only is it a super Summer colour but it stays on for hours and hours. It is such an awesome lipstick to take with to a festival because you can sip on your drink and not worry whether your lipstick is smudged or not, you can kiss that sexy boy on the dance floor and know that your lipstick will still be on your lips and not all over his. The CYO Chubby Lips comes in a range of colours, but the Orchard, which is a shocking pink is by far my must have item. It can be bought at a Foschini for under 100 bucks!

The reasons it's perfect for your next festival:

• The colour is so trendy for Summer 2013 and will go so well for outdoor events.
• It is reasonably priced and fits into  my #StudentBudget
• The crayon style makes it easy to apply,so when you are stomping on the dance floor and you need a bit of colour, I gaurantee you it won't smudge.
• The no smudge effect makes it really longlasting so you can drink away.
• I am not  a fan of heavy make up at festivals, but throw on some lipstick and  aheadband and you will be unforgettable.
