Pict: Dunnes Stores
OK, I’m going to admit it. I have never been to a festival. Not ever. I’m not sure they’re really me – I hate camping! I’m much more of a boutique hotel and city break type of girl.
But, the weirdest thing has happened. I am desperate to go to one this summer with Miss Marnie…
I’m not sure if it was reading this post about the pods at Camp Bestival by Alison over at notanothermummyblog or Ruth’s post about Lollibop at RocknRollerBaby.
But, the fact is this summer’s line up sounds so darn good. From TV personalities to play areas and farms – these family friendly festivals have made me sit up and take notice – I may well be missing out on some serious fun.
And, of course we know it’s all about the festival fashion!
I have yet to discover the wonders of wellies, fringing, face paint and dry shampoo. But, for the little ones these finds are perfect for any festival or even just at your own party in the park.

Ah thanks for the mention. We LOVED Camp Bestival last year. Not sure if we'll do a festival this year – the Just So festival looks amazing. Fab fashion picks! xx
Thanks Alison! Your Camp Bestival posts were brill – and I blame you for making me want to go! ha ha…
Such a gorge festival collection – my fav is 9 for the girls. Did you see my festival selection on Junior Style? The necklace – it's on order I couldn't resist xAx
So many child friendly fests out there and adore your kid's edit, I want it all (in my size)-we were invited to review Lollipop but not sure where we're away, looks fab though! Thanks for linking up to #fashionfriday
