It’s party time for this boho babe
So you’ve got your tinted sunnies, body glitter and trusty wellies packed for your festival this summer, but do you have your own knitted mini-me? Now you do! This festival fashionista by
ÁINE MARRIOTT is dressed up to the nines with her space buns, crop top and tassled bag, and you can personalise her by matching her skin tone to your own. She’s all set for a sensational summer, and we just have one question – can we have a human-sized version of the outfit, please?!
