With the run of Summer festivals well underway, this weekend plays host to one of the most iconic music festivals of all time. The decades old Isle of Wight festival kicks off today, and this year's line up is made up of some of our our favourite artists.
If you're disappointed to be missing out on IOW festival this year, with it's line up reading like a who's who of the music industry of the past 30 years. Then take a listen to our favourite three artists who will be rocking the crowd down on the Isle of Wight this weekend.
This weekend we are wishing we were at the Isle of Wight festival. Kicking back listening to one of the greatest bands ever - Fleetwood Mac. With the group including Stevie Nicks reunited with Christine McVie too, we're looking forward to see this performance from the two Fleetwood Mac ladies for the first time in decades.
So to get us in the spirit for the weekend, we've got some Fleetwood Mac on the playlist in the office.
Add some Stevie vibes to your weekend and take a listen to some of our top Fleetwood Mac songs in the run up to their performance at the Isle of Wight.
What do we love the most about festival season? Festival fashion! Especially when you can really pin your festival look down to an specific festival look and an iconic era.
For those of you heading down to this years Isle of Wight Festival, we trust you will be dressing accordingly! At NAVY HQ, we have thrown together our ideal Isle of Wight Festival look to give you a little inspiration. Fully channeling some boho 70s vibes and inspired by one of the festival’s most legendary performances.
In 1970, the over 500,000 people descended upon the Isle of Wight to see a performance by the one and only Jimi Hendrix. We’re drawn inspiration from this peace-loving and boho era to pull this look together, and you can’t get a true boho look without some fringing! A big trend throughout SS14 and into AW14, we think investing in some awesome fringed pieces now is a great idea. Throw over our Willow Lace Dress, the perfect midi length for summer and crisp white, the colour of the season.
We’ve teamed it with a tapestry backpack to keep the Hendirx vibe going and some love heart sunglasses. Peace and love guys! Pile up the rings on your fingers and complete the boho look with a chic headband.
Whilst this look is greatly inspired by the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival, it can easily be worn for any festival this season. It has the total boho vibe, perfect festival fashion.
If you want to re-create our Hendrix Fest look, grab our Willow Lace Dress from Topshop in Oxford Circus, Los Angeles or Dublin now.
All about dreamy bohemian dressing mixed with a quintessentially rock & roll attitude. Available from Zalando & Topshop, Oxford Circus.
