Ellie Ellie Wears - Festival Fashion


The British festival season is in full swing with Reading Festival this weekend and we are inspired by Festival fashion and how much people experiment when they go to festivals!

You can’t go wrong with a pair of Hunter wellies with high socks, these short hunters are perfect if the sun happens to come out too! Wear your hunters with navy shorts and this Fair & True Sustainable Bright Print Vest Top. A perfect combination! Add the finishing touch with Ellie Ellie’s Vintage Letter Tile Personalised Ring, which you can personalise with your initial!

The Perfect Pimms



We all love a chilled, fruity glass of Pimms on a lovely hot day in the British summertime, so we thought a ‘Post about Pimms’ was a must at Ellie Ellie HQ, especially as we have been enjoying lovely weather recently.

This is a great guide to ‘The Perfect Pimms’ and we really love the way they guide you to cut the fruit… Pimms Perfection we say!!


Each sip of Pimms is savoured in the British summertime and it’s a lovely way to create summer memories with friends and family. The new ‘Blackberry & Elderflower’ Pimms flavour is another summer sizzler with a fresh and floral taste.

There are lots of interesting and yummy recipes around using Pimms as the main ingredient and we couldn’t be more excited at the prospect of tucking into a Pimms cupcake or sorbet. Enjoy this Pimms Sorbet with all the delicious ingredients of our beloved summertime drink… 

Take a look at a recipe for scrumptious Pimms Sorbet here... Pimms Sorbet

Pimms winter means we can now enjoy the taste of cinnamon and caramel on the cold days too, lovely!

Ellie Ellie Wears

This week we've pieced together an outfit for a late afternoon BBQ! This maxi skirts is perfect for just the occasion, sitting just off your waist not only is it comfortable, but it's also not too revealing for when the temperature drops in the evening! Topshop has brought out a range of basic crop tops, in various colours which are bang on trend and work great with high waisted pieces. Ellie Ellie's Upcycled Storybook Necklaces are a great way to add a bit of vintage style to the outfit. Each one is handmade from original Ladybird books and are come in a beautiful antique gold finish, complimenting the warm palette.

Ellie Ellie Wears

We don't know about you, but we are loving this weather. Finally, Spring has started to pull it's socks up. This week's Ellie Ellie Wears has been inspired by, Mr Blue Sky- that illusive chap who's been lying rather low of late, but like the prodigal son he's back and everyone's celebrating.

So we've taken the blue baton and ran with it- this little vintage inspired dress can be found at Get Cutie. Love it's femine pattern and ability to create that 50's hourglass figure. Nipped in at the waist, soft over the hips- it's bound to flatter most. Sling on a pair of these blue bow pumps to make it the perfect day time outfit, whether you're off out for a stroll along the pier or at a May bank holiday village fĂȘte.

In terms of accessories, we've kept it simple with a statement Ellie Ellie ring. Our rings can be personalised with any location from around the world, using vintage maps. The location is what it's all about- how about your hometown, or where you met your partner in crime? Choice is yours! Find it here

We feel a tad guilty that we've added a cashmere scarf to this one, especially as it's our first post for May. But let's not kid ourselves. We're British. The weather can never make up it's mind and its best to always be prepped for anything from heat to hail.
