Sourz Fusionz MTV Festival Reporter at Parklife Weekender 2012

The Parklife Weekender 2012
What better way to kickstart our summer tour than a festival?! We loaded up SAM the campervan with thousands of Sourz Fusionz, hats and sunnies and set off to Manchester for the notorious city centre festival, Parklife.
It wouldn't be a Brittish summer festival with out a splash of rain, especially in Manchester. True to life, we arrived to Platt Fields to monsoon conditions. But who cares?! We were up for it and so were the 50,000 festival lovers quieing up for the gates to open, as our Sourz Fusionz MTV festival reporter found out while she was filimg her first take!
Straight away we had a mob of people queing up to get into the Sourz tent. We had Sourz Fusionz, hats, sunnies, UV fance paint, Twister and some quality tunes that always resulted in a dance off! Pretty much everything you need to get sorted for a festival. Of course MTV heard about the dance off and our reporter even stepped onto the floor before interviewing the lads.
Sunday was a totally different day. Red hot sunshine all day and the whole atmosphere for the festival was somehow even better than the day before. Apart from a few rogue pumps we found lying abondened in the mud, the seasoned Parklifer was wearing the essentials, wellies and Sourz sunnies.
Our highlights had to be De La Soul, Annie Mac, Nero, and not forgetting the headliners Dizze Rascal and Justice. We absolutly loved our first festival of the year and if you want to see all the pictures from the weekend just head to our Facebook page.
Next stop, WAKESTOCK 7th-8th July.
See you there!

Ibiza Hols <3
Remember Judy?
She was the winner of our Ibiza holiday giveaway contest that we ran over the summer with our 'Give it Some Sunshine' tour. She won a posh all-expenses paid trip to Ibiza with her mates. (And yes, we were all insanely jealous.)
Needless to say she had an AMAZING time. Enjoy some of Judy's holiday pics below...
We'll be launching another holiday giveaway contest very very soon, so watch this space...

BHAM
This past weekend marked the final dates for the 2010 Sourz Sunshine Tour. We definitely ended on a high note in Birmingham!
The Sun Lounge was THE place to be at Bullring this weekend. We were right in front of Selfridges, so all the trendy Brummies were stopping in for Sourz cocktails before hitting the sales! It also meant an abundance of Krispy Kreme donuts were consumed by myself and the rest of the Sourz staff. :)
More! Magazine stylist Charlotte brought along this GORGEOUS trench coat from Warehouse. It was very popular with the fashionista set craving some fall fashion.
There was also some very creative nail painting...
When day turned to night, we moved on to O'Bar. The crowd was ace.
All in all, the tour was a HUGE success. It was so much fun meeting Sourz drinkers from all over the UK! We had such a good time, and I hope you guys did too. Thank you to everyone who came out!
Stay tuned to this blog for way more Sourz stuff to come.

Brizzle!
We had an unreal weekend in so-very-very-cool Bristol. Can I be named an honorary Bristolian??
The Sun Lounge @ The Mall was chock full of friendly folk.
See how nice these two look?
How about this guy?
As night fell we made our way to The Elbow Rooms. The car below was parked outside and it set the tone for a very chic evening.
It was a family affair inside the Elbow Rooms.
Sisters:
Brothers:
It was hard to say goodbye to Bristol, we loved it so much. Can we come back again sharpish??

Bluewater Recap
Gorgeous summer weather and gorgeous summer people this weekend in Kent!
More! Magazine stylist Charlotte rocked up with a well stocked rail this weekend.
My favourites:
This blouse from New Look is just perfect for summer. Smart but totally comfortable and casual as well. I tried it on and it made me feel like Olivia Newton John in Grease in the best way possible.
Lots of pink this weekend. This jumper from Warehouse is so right now. Throw it on and you'll look like you were pulled straight from the fashion editorial pages of more! Magazine.
Loving this one shouldered blouse from New Look as well. So chic.
More scenes from the weekend:
And thank you to the Somerset Arms in Gravesend for hosting the Sourz events in the evenings! We had tons of fun.
More photos from the weekend are up on our Facebook page.
Have you entered our contest to win a sunny trip to Ibiza yet??? We'll be closing the contest soon - so enter now!!
Catch you next weekend ;)

Leeds: Take Two
I had a chat with more! stylist Charlotte today about some new items that she's added to her Sourz Sunshine tour clothing and accessory haul.
Her favourites:
1. Blouse - Warehouse £45
How chic is this? Perfect for layering on slightly cooler summer nights.
2. Shorts - Dorothy Perkins £22
Pair them with the top above to dress 'em up or throw on a white T for a more casual look.
3. Wedges - Dorothy Perkins £25
Wedges are a must this summer. Dare I say, the higher the better.
4. Hat - Warehouse £16
Perfect to 'top off' any summer ensemble. Also a bad hair day saviour.
My favourites:
How adorable is this? It's H! by Henry Holland for Debenhams. He's on top of his game.
This bohemian number from Warehouse. If summer was a shirt, this is what it would look like.
Charlotte brings a new selection of clothing and accessories to each Sunshine Tour date. We've still got London, Bristol and Birmingham left so there is plenty more where this came from!! Dates and locations are here.
Leeds, we've had a blast. Catch you next time!
- Deana @ Sourz xx
Sunny Leeds
Within the first ten minutes of my arrival at the White Rose in Leeds, the following three ladies came by the Sourz Sun Lounge.
No one told me Leeds was so damn fashionable! Laura in the top photo is absolutely murdering the rock chick glam look. The black wedge booties and leopard print bag combo is to die for. The Sourz fan in the middle photo took a fashion risk with the oversized hair bow - but it has paid off in spades! She looks beyond cute. The gal in the bottom photo is owning the short pixie hairstyle - loving the deep red colour as well. I wonder if she matched her belt to her hair???
Needless to say we've been loving Leeds.
Some other highlights.
We've had quite a few of gentlemen stop in today - Bhavin and Akshay below kindly struck a pose for the camera.
Angela and Jessica stopped in on their breaks from work!!!
And finally, everyone should wish Jade in the photo below very good luck. She was en route to a job interview - here's hoping she nailed it.
Must jet now to get fresh for our big night at Exclusive Bar in Wakefield - are you coming through??!! Tonight's Wii set up is immense!

Pure Dead Brilliant - Glasgow Part II
On Saturday we returned to the Buchanan Galleries for the second day of Sourz Sunshine Tour in Glasgow.
On Friday, I introduced our amazing more! Magazine stylist, Charlotte. She showcased this season's clothing and accessory must-haves to instantly transform your look. Charlotte will be at every remaining date of the Sourz Sunshine Tour - come by and have a chat with this very lovely (and super stylish) lady! Your wardrobe will thank you.
The Sourz Sunshine Tour is also lucky to have an incredibly talented makeup artist on hand as well. Emma, in the centre below, has been in VERY high demand during the tour. People have waited to see her on queues that stretch outside of the event stand itself!
Emma was kind enough to show me some of the great Barry M makeup that she's using during the tour.
Their Lip Lacquer Crayon is one of her favourites. It gives an intense, high-shine colour without being too sticky - it's very comfortable to wear.
Emma also loves Barry M's colourful nail paints. The candy coloured polishes come with a great brush - the application is very smooth. Emma claims that they're just as good as the more expensive ones!
Come by the Sourz Sunshine Tour stand to have a chat with one of our fab makeup artists and to try out some of the other products in the Barry M line!!
Some other Glasgow highlights:
A visit from a pop starlet! Singer Carrie Mac is performing alongside JLS, Alexandra Burke, The Saturdays and more later this month at the In:Demand show at the Glasgow SECC. Carrie also happens to be a huge Apple Sourz fan. :)
When day turned to night, the Sourz team moved on to Campus.
The Sourz shades were in full effect.
As was the Wii...
And also some Fancy Dress!!!
See you guys in LEEDS next week??!!

Charlotte's Sourz Sunshine Tour rack of this season's trend pieces...
Charlotte walked me through some of her fashion must-haves for this hot hot summer.
Her top choices:
1. Maxi Dress - Warehouse
2. Satchel-style bag - River Island
4. Straw hat - Warehouse
5. Skinny Cargo Trouser - Miss Selfridge
(these are a much less expensive version of the incredibly popular J Brand cargo trousers!)
