Summer Festival Essentials

Concerts and outdoor festivals are a huge part of many peoples summer breaks. With all the fun and excitement around seeing your favorite bands and friends, sometimes we can forget what to wear, bring, or what essentials are needed. Check out my top 6 essentials for summer festivals:
{Sun Hat} {Oil Blotting Sheets} {Mascara} { Sunscreen} {Shorts} {Camera}
1. Sun Hat: A sun hat is essential to blocking your face and protecting yourself from a burn. Whether it be a fedora, a baseball cap, or a floppy hat {like pictured above,} protecting your face with a brim will help prevent the dreaded burn afterwards.. while also looking super cute!

2. Oil Blotting Sheets: Crowds of people, hot sun, and dancing around can cause sweat and oil to build up on your face. In order to protect your makeup and avoid looking like a greasy mess, oil blotting sheets are essential. Blot one on your face and you will be surprised just how much oil has built up!

3. Waterproof Mascara: Like mentioned above, concerts outside will most likely have you sweating a ton! Waterproof mascara is a fool proof way to protect yourself from the dreaded raccoon eyes.

4. Sunscreen: Along the lines of the sun hat, sunscreen with a high SPF {at least 50 if you'll be outside for a majority of the day} is important for outside events. Not only does sunscreen prevent sunburn, it also greatly helps protect again skin cancer.

5. Cute Shorts: A cute outfit is just as important as anything else when attending a summer concert, so bring your A-game. A cute pair of shorts {my fave is high waisted jean pair}is both comfy and cute.. perfect for moving around and enjoying yourself throughout the day. Pair it with a crop top or tee shirt and comfy sandals for the perfect outdoors outfit.

6. Camera:  No summer festival or concert would be complete without a camera to capture the days' events! I love the Canon t3i for high quality, professional looking pictures! Remember to take a ton of photographs so you can look back on your awesome day!

Have you been to any summer concerts or are planning on attending any? Let me know below!
