For those who haven't been following the No Debutante antics over the past few weeks on social media, this is a quick catch up covering the side of Love Saves the Day that doesn't feature in my articles as fashion editor for Bristol 24/7! Here's some moments of friends and fun that happened at Loves Saves The Day festival here in Bristol, alongside a gig with my band Mono Dots for the M32 Skate Jam after party at The Chelsea Inn, that I managed to squeeze in between the two day event! Phew! It's been a busy one, but that's how we like it! Find out what happens when my two worlds collide!
Love Saves The Day 2019
Hanging out with our festival faves The Fashpack including the lovely Joh Rindom from That Thing and the hilarious Zoe Zedhead, plus the No Debutante partner in crime, sister fashionista, " I only exist in this realm" Rachael.
The No Debutante chosen outfit for the Saturday was this amazing pair of Lucy and Yak X Emotional Waterfall dungarees which are just the comfiest thing ever, worn with a crop top on this gloriously sunny day at LSTD.
Getting my glitter did by Zoe Zedhead and hanging with independent designers Pluma and Balulu! I acquired the sun visor after a few large rum cocktails but it seems to match nicely with my Zedhead pom-pom earrings!
The No Debutante LSTD Sunday outfit (above left) features my fave catsuit by Mannerswear, a bumbag purchased at the festival by Butchi and Gosmos, the antique kimono given to me by an elderly neighbour - who thought I might wear it - (Thank you Mary!) and my lovely new XL tassel earrings by the brilliant Bristol designer, Dakota Rae Dust that arrived just in time for the weekend!
Love these girls!
A couple of amusing shots from the Sunday including Zoe Headhead and NOT Idris Elba and Rachael with the tallest, most fabulous drag queen at LSTD coming in at 7' 2" (well, she was wearing ridiculously high platforms).
The M32 Skate Jam After party gig at The Chelsea Inn (Saturday Night)
Rocking those festival vibes in a punk mash-up with my band Mono Dots at The Cheslea Inn at the M32 Skate Jam after party, where local skaters had come together to raise money for the skate park underneath the M32, here in Bristol.
The Los Savages - an awesome surf-skate band of goofballs that features Mr Debutante on trumpet.
It's amazing how your brain becomes so open and inspired when you are away from your usual life, whilst on holiday I must have truly gone into relax mode as I sat on a sun lounger in the baking heat of Mallorca, my head just started filling up with so many ideas for blogging and writing and life in general, I found myself positively inspired. There is no saying I will carry out all of my new ideas but being away from my natural surrounding had opened a door which seemed, not completely shut but a little blocked somehow....blocked with life and all it's paraphernalia. One of my decisions made during this inspiring time was to write more No Debutante blog posts and articles for the Bristol 24/7 website, I really enjoy writing so why not do more of what you like? Here's a selection of the latest No Debutante posts for Bristol 24/7 magazine featuring fashion designers, upcycling events, fabulous festivals, fashion shows and young creatives, all based in the awesome city of Bristol, as the Fashion Editor, Emma Gorton-Ellicott.

Nadia Rose went down a storm on Sunday afternoon, with her cute swagger and sharp humourous lyrics and that Skwod of girls wearing old school, monochrome Adidas and their cool as' dance style, they fitted LSTD perfectly, the sportswear, the swagger and their cute charm were impossible to not love!

Sunday saw, even more, print clashes, marvellous metallic colourful catsuits, amazing headdresses, glam glitter beards, tropical prints and sparkles on everything.

No Debutante had the most amazing time as a fashion correspondent for the brilliant Loves Saves The Day festival in Bristol, last week. The fashion was off the hook featuring everything from boho festival fashion, urban sports to street style fashionistas and everything glitter and glam. The urban flower children were out on show and everyone was so happy to chat about their outfits and have their photographs taken, LSTD have a real friendly crowd and the festival was buzzing. No Debutante roamed about the festival with partner in crime and bestie Rachael (aka for the day Queen Latifah), meeting people and chatting all things LSTD and Bristol fashion, there will be videos and interviews available to view real soon on the new No Debutante youtube channel, where you will get to join the No Debutante world of fashion fun, so watch this space for the official launch! The festival vibes were in full swing, rain or shine but there was a lot of hard work being put in behind the scenes of the different fashion stalls that were available from The Fash Pack and other collaborators including Boo Dior. The Fash Pack who are a collaboration of Bristol designers and creatives who come together supplying festival fashion, headdresses, glitter make-up, glitter beards, vintage clothing and the festival must have, the bumbag. The Fash Pack creator Joh Rindom, from Bristols fashion brand, That Thing, impressively co-ordinates The Fash Pack tent supplying festival go'ers with everything they need to deck themselves out in full festival rigour, nobody left The Fash Pack tent without being glittered and glammed up! Yeeesss!! There will be more to come from No Debutante on the LSTD festival fashion vibes with Bristol 24/7 magazine and due to the amount of fabulous fashion moments at the LSTD festival, this blog post will be a two parter. Whoop! Well done Bristol, you beautiful people!
