With Forbidden Fruit and Life festival kicking off this weekend we are well and truly in the festival zone. 1970s boho has long been the festival look of choice but we are pushing it even further this year with crochet and flares everywhere. This week, we meet Ruth Anderson and get the lowdown on her look of choice for the upcoming weekend. We really think she has nailed how to bring the 1970s into 2015.

Flares: Seventies style is back with a bang. Sometimes it can be intimidating to embrace the flares trend. These skinny flares are a great way to incorporate them into your look. The flare on the leg isn't too extreme and will still flatter your legs the way skinny jeans do. Be brave, its the summer and we all want to look like a 1970s queen at the festivals. €16, boohoo.com

Platforms: If you are going to go for a heel at a festival, I would definitely recommend a platform. The platform will give you more balance when taking on the tents and fields. Forbidden Fruit is a day festival, so it's much easier to navigate in heels as everyone goes home at the end of the night. These peep-toe shoes go great with the flares and are in keeping with the 1970s twist. €41, boohoo.com

T-shirt: Embrace your inner biker chick with an oversized Harley Davidson Tee. Probably one of the most versatile pieces you will buy this summer. Rock it with flares or even with a pair of cycling shorts for when it gets even warmer (fingers crossed). Harley Davidson Tee €28, shopninecrows.com

Hat: The hat finishes this look off perfectly. It is great for keeping the sun off your face and also the rain off your hair, both outcomes that you must prepare for when attending an Irish festival. Wide brim Fedora €27.40, asos.com
