You need something light and easy to chuck on when the sun drops and everything suddenly gets colder (plus you can never trust Auckland weather). This washed out cotton jacket with metal detailing by Shakuhaci will fold up in your bag and help fight the breeze later in the evening. $ 300 from mycatwalk.com
If you must wear sandals to this years event, ones that are attached firmly to your feet are a must. no jandals people. Here is a great choice for those of you on a budget, $ 29.99 from The Warehouse.
These numbers are HOT and will stay firmly on your feet in the crowds. Studded Sandals from Superette $ 349.
Big Day Out is always hot, you need to be wearing minimal makeup to avoid a terrible running situation. A sheer light weight and waterproof foundation, such as M.A.C face and body, is perfect.
Denim shorts, they are a summer staple. A sucker for all things shiny and gold, we love the studs on these. Sass and Bide $ 379.
These Linda Farrow sunnies, $ 649, available from mycatwalk.com.au are glam but still have an edge. Perfect protection from the sun's rays this Friday.
A cute and easy dress is always an easy option for festivals, this one from Stolen Girlfriends Club will do just the trick. It's simple but the back detailing on your summer skin will give that extra wow factor you want. Plus everyone is always facing the stage, so more the reason to show off your back.
For those of us who are braver and want to leave the denim shorts at home these Romance Was Born pilchers are perfect. They are silk but showcase the famous Romance Was Born crochet blanket print. $ 249 from mycatwalk.com.au
It's all about the accessories, and the more the better i say. These Meadowlark python cocktail rings are gorgeous and a little bit tough all at the same time.
The perfect festival bag is hard to find, and we love this Deadly Ponies Mr Scarf bag. It sits low on the body, you can even change out the scarf to suit whatever you are wearing, but we do love the muted grey tones of this one.
Slip, Slop, slap on a hat. $ 19.99 from the Warehouse.
As we said before, the more the merrier in the jewelry department. This is the carnation bracelet from Deadly Ponies and it is beautiful.
Crop tops have been everywhere this summer, and here at FrontRowDiary.com we feel they are best sported with some high waisted shorts. These from Workshop are the best pair we have seen this summer.
Chucks are something I feel everyone must have in their wardrobe. This high top all leather pair will keep the dust out of your socks, protect your toes and toughen up any look you want to wear this year. Not to mention that they will wipe clean also, bonus.
I have a soft spot for reflective lenses. These are the
'Sir Marvelous' from Le Specs, we love the classic shape with the 80's lens colour.
Loving white lace and crochet detailing at the moment. This top will look fab with the black chucks, workshop shorts, Linda Farrow sunnies and a heavy hand of jewelry. Available from Glassons $ 39.99.
