Festival Fashion Guide

Hey,

both music and fashion play an important role in my everyday life and Festivals are 
the perfect occasion to combine these two interests of mine.

Tomorrow I am going to attend the Dockville Festival in Hamburg and I am looking
forward to a fantastic weekend with friends, good music and a lot of fun.

The weather report changes nearly every day but right now it seems as we will be lucky
 to enjoy warm temperatures and a lot of sun. I hope it will gonna stay like that as I have some clothes which I would love to wear at the Festival.

One of these items is a blouse I got some months ago on a market in London. 
I really like the shape and the pattern of the Top and I think there is no better place 
than a Festival to wear this out.

Although I really like the boho style, which tends to be a bit extravagant, I will keep my clothes quite simple as in my opinion the most important rule in terms of Festival outfits 
is that you feel comfortable. No matter how good it might look, it won`t really work out 
if you can neither walk, dance or do whatever without plucking on your top here and there every two minutes. 

Your clothes are probably not worth it to miss the band playing just in front of you.

Something else to pay attention to is to be prepared for different temperatures.
As hot it might be during the day, at some point it will get colder, therefore it is always 
a good idea to bring a jumper or jacket with you. 
Also the other way around could be the case: it might turn out warmer than you thought 
it will be. Believe me, it is never a bad idea to have an additonal pair of shorts in your bag.

Anyway, I am not completely sure yet what I will gonna wear the next days.
I will decide this quite spontanious but for you I have some photos of outfits which 
I might gonna wear. 

I have to go now and get my things together for the Festival tomorrow but I hope I can inspire the one or another of you with the following photos and that my advices were 
somehow helpful for you.

I hope to see you soon on the blog again.

Best wishes.

Mareike


PS: I recommend you to take a bagpack with you as it means you will have your hands 
free to clap for your favourite bands ;)

Only two more days til the Dockville 2016

Hey,

almost one year ago I wrote one of my personal favourite Blog posts so far.

This is probably due to the topic as it deals with my impressions of the Dockville 
Festival 2015. This was for sure one, if not THE best weekend in my year 2015. 
As you can tell from the article (go and read it here) I was - and still am - delighted of 
the event. Therefore, I am basically already looking forward to this years issue since 
the moment I left the Festival in the previous year. Since that I followed every announcement and news with great interest and counted the weeks til the 19th of August, when the Festival is about to take place for the tenth time. Now there are only two more nights to sleep and somehow I am not yet at the point to actually realize that.

By the way, as probably not all of you might have heard about the Dockville before:

I am talking about a Festival, which is hold each year in the south of Hamburg / Germany.

Four days long hundred of musicians from all over the world are playing at the Festival.

Besides the music art also plays an important role at the location as it creates a very special and pleasant atmosphere. Most visitors are in the age of twenty something but partly there are also older ones. All in all, it is a very peaceful and lovely Festival.

However, as soon as the official Line-Up was revealed I started to make a list with all the ones I would like to see during the Festival. Although I would have been happy to hear 

two or more of my favourite musicians performing at the event I still like the Line-Up.

Once again the organizers were able to book a great variety of musicians and therefore 

all different styles of music and I think that is also one of the reasons why the Festival 
is so popular. Nearly everybody`s taste in music will gonna be represented.

Anyway, the bands I fancy to see are these ones:

Friday

Matt Corby, the Neighbourhood, Bastille, Feine Sahne Fischfilet

Saturday

Kytes, L´Aupaire, Meute, Honne, Aurora, Crystal Fighters, OK Kid, Foals,

Bilderbuch, King Kong Kicks, RSS Disco

Sunday

Gloria, Elias, Half Moon Run, Isolation Berlin, Hinds, Enno Bunger, 

I am excited which ones I will really gonna listen to and also who else I might discover 
at this weekend.

Have a look on the blog soon again to make sure to do not miss my Dockville 2016 review than ;)

See you soon.

Best wishes.
