Published on July 8, 2019October 24, 2019 by houseofmaddison2 Comments

Finally, the British sun is here! I have always been a big fan of soft green for the summer; the colour reminds me of holidaying in Greece – all of the dainty jewelry and architecture featuring the colour. Matching the green of my eyes; the shade of this Boohoo.com (sourced from ASOS) dress is perfect to pair with the popular ASOS white wedge heels, the block colours look beautiful together. The cheeky style of the dress makes the perfect date outfit. The dobby effect, ruffled V neck and waist tie combine to make a flawless, flirty design.

If you haven’t got a blue shirt…get one! It’s the key piece to carry you through Spring into Summer, they are plastered all over the high-street. So … you’ve probably guessed by now I am addicted to Zara. With an extra long tie which can be adapted to your desired length; as you would expect from Zara the shirt has a good quality cotton mix which holds the shape well. The exaggerated Victorian puff sleeve adds a high-fashion vibe and hits the main trend this season – sleeves. The light blue colour is the perfect hue for pairing with creams, whites and classic denim pieces this Spring.

DENIM BOILER SUIT – SECOND EDITION…

Published on February 1, 2017February 1, 2017 by houseofmaddisonLeave a comment

Following on from my Boiler Suit first edition post…the boiler suit in this look is styled to a chilled vibe. The simple element of tying the boiler suit around the waist can switch up the style instantly. A plain white racer crop top is always a comfortable option and will take you through Spring into Summer. I love spicing up a look with unique accessories and I always find neckerchiefs so trendy and sleek. A bad hair day can be saved by a loose, floppy bun and sunglasses to accessorise. Superga’s add a subtle rose gold hint, adding a touch of glamour to the relaxed outfit.

Boiler suits are just the dream. The effortless style, while feeling comfortable is heavenly. Denim is one of my favourite materials for the Spring months, denim will forever be a classic. This boiler suit is boyish and slouchy in an elegant way; juxtaposed with rose gold stilettos gives a luxe yet relaxed look perfect for a smart casual evening out. The blue wash of the denim is perfect with just enough distressing to keep the boiler suit smart enough for most occasions. The cut of the pants are relaxed for comfort but keep an on-trend look with a feminine edge. I favour the way masculine fashion paired with feminine statement pieces somehow give a sultry effect.

Stella McCartney’s unconventional style nevertheless conveys modern chic. Graduating Central St Martins with a fashion degree ensured her a colossal future in design. I enjoy a browse through the Stella McCartney website, always being infatuated by the exclusive phone case designs. On a visit to London I spied a Fashionista with an uber-cool phone case, which I discovered was an incredible Stella McCartney design; oversized lips in a bright red. I knew I had to buy this quirky design. I bought the light pink colour – it possesses the girly edge which I idolise, while the oversized lip shape grabs attention. Not only does the case safeguard me against smashing my phone, it is merely impossible to misplace it and it is most definitely a conversation piece!

LULU GUINNESS DIARY 2017

Published on January 8, 2017January 8, 2017 by houseofmaddisonLeave a comment

As you all probably already know I am totally in love with Lulu Guinness designs – especially the stationery. To accompany my notes journal I got for Christmas I bought this 2017 diary in my attempt to become a super organised person this year… I have to say my favourite aspect of this dairy is the personalisation.

Each section of the diary includes a ‘title page’ with a Lulu pattern; red and white lips, black and white stripes and plain red each with a subtitle giving an insight into the forthcoming pages.

One of the opening pages is for personal details – a space to write your name, telephone number etc. alongside the quirky ‘favourite lipstick colour’ section – the perfect section in case the diary is misplaced.

The following pages include a ‘Year At A Glance 2017’ showing month blocks which you can circle or highlight. The next section ‘Month At A Glance 2017’ gives a miniature calendar for each month, labelled with the date and day of the week for easy planning.

Following this is the ‘Week At A Glance 2017’ giving each day with a date and a space to write, as well as a notes page on the right side of the double spread for extra notes and information. You can also enter contact details so it is an ideal tool for when you are out and about to record all those important new business connections.

One of the most unique points of the diary is the notes and doodles pages; the pages leave space for random doodles, a shopping list, a to-do list, International dialling codes and 2017 National Holidays. These elements – especially the last two pages – are cultural and global. The front cover is undoubtedly chic and stylish; the perfect handbag accessory for an organised fashionista. The black and white striped string ensures that you can keep your place in the month within the diary.

One of my favourite Winter pieces at the moment is this grey fur gilet. The luxury feel and aesthetic of the fur spices up the plainest of outfits. Grey plays an essential part in my Winter pallet; grey is one of my favourite’s alongside black, cream and red – the perfect shades for the winter closet. Here I have paired the fur gilet with my white shirt dress with statement cuffs and my berry red thigh high velvet boots – giving off a total fashion vibe. The gilet would perfectly compliment an all black outfit also, crafting a très chic look.
