On Our Radar... 10 UK fashion and beauty influencers to invite to a festival
This week’s On Our Radar highlights the 10 UK fashion and beauty influencers we think you should be inviting to a festival this summer. Festival season is well and truly upon us and it's no secret that brand collaborations and festivals go hand in hand. From what to wear to glitter in your hair, we think these bloggers and Instagrammers would be the perfect fit. Check out who's on our festival radar this week.
Zoe Hellewell is the blogger and vlogger behind the popular site Zoe London. She is passionate about all aspects of fashion, beauty and lifestyle, and posts everything from lookbooks to make-up tutorials and travel diaries. She is also a DJ, and performs regularly. Her love of music is clear on her Instagram feed, where she can often be seen at different festivals. The epitome of festival fashion and beauty, Hellewell's bright hair and fun style always see her stand out from the crowd.
We've been following Brighton-based blogger and vlogger Lily Melrose since the early days of blogging. She takes to her sites to share lifestyle, fashion and travel content as well as creating beauty tutorials for her legions of loyal followers. Whilst she loves prestige brands, Melrose can also be counted on for affordable alternatives. She's also a fan of pop-punk music and come summer time she can always be found at a festival or two.
Self-proclaimed goth Anita Bhagwandas is an award-winning beauty and lifestyle journalist. She's has worked for titles such as Women's Health, Stylist and Top Santé and was previously the Senior Beauty Editor at Marie Claire. With a penchant for heavy metal and pop punk music as well as rockabilly fashion, you can guarantee she'd add some punk to any festival.
After serving and training in the British Army, Olivia studied History before starting her media career as a style and beauty writer for magazines including Marie Claire, ELLE and InStyle. Cox then progressed to TV presenting and has worked with the likes of QVC and Sky News. She also blogs about fashion, beauty and lifestyle on her eponymous blog.
Formerly Website Editor of HELLO! Fashion Monthly, Alexandra Light left her role recently to pursue freelance opportunities and fully concentrate on her blog, What Alex Wears. After seven years at the magazine, she now continues to serve as Contributing Editor whilst working full-time on her blog, a decision she made due to her love of blogging, being connected to her followers, and her love of fashion and beauty. You can tell how devoted her followers are too, a recent post on body positivity got thousands of likes and hundreds of positive comments which just burst with love for the blogger.
Kavita Donkersley started her site She Wears Fashion when she was just 16, as way of expressing her interest in fashion and beauty. Many years later, the popular site is also a lifestyle destination and Kavita is celebrated not only for her style but her comprehensive travel guides. So if you're looking to invite influencers to a festival abroad, this girl gets the double thumbs up.
Joseph Clough is the face behind menswear blog Joey London who in a short space of time has gone from working in a bar to becoming a full time menswear influencer. He has a strong interest in culture, art, fashion and being creative and shares these on his site and vlog as well as his social media platforms. He is an avid traveller, and has garnered a significant audience on YouTube for his travel vlogs and styling tips. We caught up with Clough last year, read what he had to say here.
Manchester-based Megan Ellaby is the blogger behind the site Pages By Megan. On the prominent blog, she shares fashion hauls, beauty tips, travel advice and insights into her life. She's also a freelance stylist, and has worked with ASOS on a collection. Whilst she's a lover of the high street, Ellaby likes to mix her pieces with designer garments, giving a true mix of high and low-end fashion. She has also featured in campaigns for Levi’s and Schwarzkopf and her cool and colourful style would fit in perfectly at any festival.
Vlogger and blogger Helen Anderson covers a range of fashion, beauty and lifestyle topics in her own unique and alternative way. She describes her personal style as alternative and is inspired by the 80s and 90s, rock n roll, and trashy Hollywood glamour. Helen has created sponsored videos for brands such as Malibu and starred in a campaign for Avon. She also blogs on her eponymous website and has a strong following on Instagram. Want to know what she's packing for her next festival? Head to her YouTube channel where she shares all.
Louise O'Reilly is a plus size model and blogger behind body positivity fashion site Style Me Curvy. The blog celebrates fashion and beauty for all body types and she posts lookbooks, product reviews and travel guides. Style Me Curvy was named the Best International Fashion Blog by Cosmopolitan UK and the IFB in 2013 and 2014. She has worked with brands such as Sure for Women and Littlewoods. She rocks a boho look and we think she'd be the perfect fit for a summer festival collab, especially with those festival braids.
