Hi! Are you off to Splendour in the Grass at Byron Bay this weekend? Most of TheVine is. I can't make it I have to wash my yacht.

If you are heading there I'd like to share some of festival clothing tips with you. What is this list based on? Mine and others' experiences at Falls Festival Offshore the Big Chill Big Days Out and what I'm packing for Bestival in September.

I won't go into the whole camping gear guff. I'm assuming you have delegated all that to someone else hublot replica watches swiss legend diamonds watches hence you're ready about festival clothes as a priority.

Locals tell me that Byron Bay hates tourists. It is something to do with the mountain gods ebel sport classic replica not the people. The people are happy to see you - you buy their pies grass and souvenirs injecting much cash into the local economy. So the skies will most likely open up on you at some point probably when you are lolling about in a bikini and mini skirt. So this list has a lot to do with preparing for diverse weather scenarios.

In brief here is a non gender-specific list of what to take with you:
Loads of underpants
Slashed light denim jeans for cool but dry weather
Many T-shirts
Fingerless gloves so you can stay warm and still eat felafel
A light scarf for day-time draping and night-time wrapping
A variety of footwear like boots thongs non-white sneakers
Additional long pants like floppy jersey or waxed black denim for muddy times and when your first pair get wet
Hoodies and jumpers for the afternoons
A warm jacket for the night. It gets cold
A raincoat. An actually waterproof raincoat that works
Gumboots Hunters if you can get them
Bikini mini skirt cut-off jeans in case the sun comes out
A fun dress because it is a PARTY silly
Something fun to wear on your head so that my photographer will notice you
An actual functional sun hat if you don't want skin cancer

I hope this helps your packing. Do consider the fact that your clothes may get destroyed. Note there will also be T-shirts and polar fleeces on sale if you forget to bring these.
