Though the weather today was decidedly more pleasant than yesterday, the mud was still swirling around everyone’s feet and I couldn’t help but notice the astonishing array of wacky Wellingtons on display. Without a doubt it was Hunter Wellies which ruled the day, in a kaleidoscope of colours (even most of the children I saw had their feet clad in Hunters), but I also saw all manner of floral, animal print, striped, spotty and generally silly Wellies, though without a doubt the best pair I saw were printed with none other than chocolate biscuits. I couldn’t believe my eyes, and promptly made my way to the crepe stall.

First day of Leeds Festival today! Whilst hanging out in the VIP area, drinking cider from a paper cup and rocking my leopard print Wellies (because muddy feet will never come into vogue) I spotted Alexa Chung trotting past in skin-tight jeans, looking gorgeous but in desperate need of a greasy festival burger. Looks like our English Rose has felt the thorns of LA life! She wasn’t even wearing Wellies. Perhaps sinking into the mud would be a good thing – it might stop her being blown away!

It takes the patience of a saint to take on the sales in Leeds – after all, Leeds ladies can sniff out a bargain at fifty paces – but my efforts were rewarded today with a very cool long vest from Urban Outfitters with a rather kingly-looking lion on the front for just £15, and a pair of vampy red stilletoes from Miss Selfridge for the virtuous price of £12! Just goes to show, fashion fortune favours the brave.
