Last weekend, revellers at Glastonbury were treated to a relatively warm and almost rain free festival. This is a definite contrast to previous years when the whole site turned into a mud bath. But even so, the festival is held on a farm and it did get a bit muddy and churned up in places.

It is no surprise that regular celebrity attendees at Glastonbury like Daisy Lowe have developed the art of looking incredibly stylish but still being practical in some way. Boots are almost essential pieces of clothing for Glastonbury but Daisy proved that the much worn Hunter welly boots are not the only option. Her black slouchy boots came just above the ankle giving a practical piece of footwear that also looked great with her understated cool tasselled skirt and top combo. In true Daisy Lowe style she worked that effortless style with the slight mismatch of the colours of her top and skirt and kept the whole look simple not to detract from the elegance of the tassels with her plain brown shoulder bag.

I have previously posted about the spring summer 09 trend for fringed clothing in my posts about Jil Sander, Maison Martin Margiela and Mark Fast. Fringes and tassels were also seen at a number of the other catwalk shows. The styles included sophisticated all over tassels, twenties style dresses and leather/ suede boho and western style tassles. I love the way that fringes and tassels add lengthening lines, texture and movement to an outfit.

I have been waiting for some time time for this trend to filter into the shops and now here it is. I have managed to find the perfect fringe dress. This light grey Miso dress is perfect for a party of eveing out. I think it would look amazing with some bright neon accessories.
