Festival Culture - Our Forecast

Monday, May 13th, 2013

One of the most famous festivals to take place was the Woodstock festival of 1969. Also known as ‘Three days of peace and music’ the 2 day concert was initially planned as a ‘one off’ so four young chaps could invest their money to build a recording studio.

After finding a large, unused area that would home 50,000 revellers, the event attracted 500,000. Sex, drugs and rock and roll, the prolonged event caused uproar but huge media attention and has given the World festival culture.

The Black Boot

With the military and boyfriend trends still dominating the cat walks and a favourite for celebrities, the black boot is on our festival hit list.

We love the versatility of this staple, looking great with vibrant prints, teamed simply with a pretty, pastel dress or even layered with denim cut offs and a jumper as Diana Vickers sports.

Feelin’ Free

When the mud is nowhere to be seen, give your feet the freedom they deserve with sandals and flats. Cut out detailing and bold buckles are key this season so opt for a neutral colour like Heidi Range, and let your clothes do the talking. Works great with floral prints!

The Classic Essential

When we mention festivals we usually think of mud and that means ‘wellies’. Even super models like Kate Moss make staying in the mud chic. But don’t wait for the rain, as we’ve seen on the catwalk, festival styling this year means wellies are in. They’re perfect for light layering and great with shorts.

Plus, if the mud takes over, why not make a ‘Welly Henge’ like they do at Glastonbury with all of the abandoned wellies.

Notting Hill Carnival

Thursday, August 30th, 2012

Some of the girls from head office took to the streets of West London over the bank holiday weekend to soak up the sun, soca beats and the spirit of carnival. There was wind, there was rain, but that didn’t stop them!


Notting Hill Carnival is Europe’s biggest street party and this year didn’t fail to disappoint. For those of you that couldn’t make it, here’s a sneak peak at what went down.

We followed the street procession and took to our favourite sound systems for a spot of dancing.

Sporty vibes, bright colours, crop tops, vintage denim and army fatigues were the items of choice for the stylish Carnival goers. Paired with trainer wedges like Dash Wedge and flatforms like Match Point and you have the perfect Carnival mash-up!

Want to get some Carnival worthy foot candy? Here’s what we recommended for you girls!

And something for the guys…

Wilderness Festival

Friday, August 17th, 2012

Here at Office HQ, we love a good festival and we love sunshine even more! So last weekend at Wilderness festival was just what we’d been saving our festival outfits for, and it looks like we weren’t the only ones!

Hidden deep in the Oxfordshire countryside we took to the picturesque waters to cool down after   we had over exerted ourselves finding and then carrying our gear to the campsite!

Note to self - invest in deserter, its the perfect festival boot and goes with everything!
We indulged in all things vintage and found ourselves taken back to the 60’s in the shoe museum!

We spotted so many girls in beautiful floral head-dresses, so we decided to follow them and make our own!

We had so much fun we almost forgot about the bands playing, we made a special effort to go see Lianne La Havas and she didn’t disappoint, amazing voice AMAZING wardrobe!!

Isle of Wight Highlights - Sunday

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010
Another super sunny day at the Isle of Wight yesterday. Everything ran without a hitch (acccept for the brief power loss during James…5mis later we were back up and dancing again) Pop punk princess Pink put on a spectacular show. entering by throwing herself out of a box which was suspended by a crane, she later climed into a massive inflatable ball and bounced across the crowd!Editors rocked the crowd, playing some singalong songs such as ‘Munich’ and some slightly less but nonetheless stunning new material whilst Paul McCartney closed the show with a sensational set introduced by James Cordon who was pre-recorded and seen on the big screens, he went on to belt out some of the favourite Beatles songs and some of his solo hits.

So we bid you farewell from the Isle of Wight, back to the not so sunny climes of London!
