BEIGE BERET

Published on October 26, 2021October 26, 2021 by houseofmaddisonLeave a comment

AW/21 fashion is finally back! Move over sweatpants and relax-wear, I am here for Parisian Chic. Brown/Beige/Camel are all trending shades. Faux-leather is extremely on trend this season; this faux-leather pleated skirt in the colour ‘whiskey’ is an all round statement piece. The layered pleat has a luxurious look, complimented perfectly by the oversized white poplin shirt with neck tie; the most perfect piece. Accessorising is one of my favourite aspects of Autumnal styling; my Gucci bag is my go-to and the wool camel beret is extremely en-vogue this season. Zara beige leather boots finish the look.

PRADA SS20

This vibrant orange Zara limited edition coat is a statement piece to say the least. I adore the popping orange colouring, so on trend for 2020 as seen in the Prada SS20 catwalk. The removable gilet layered pockets have a military style, totally contrasting against the trendy body of the coat which has a traditional aesthetic. The 100% Cotton material looks and feels expensive, the quality of this item is top notch. I simply paired the look with Stradivarius tan braid mules.

ROCKING RED FITNESS

Published on August 16, 2020August 16, 2020 by houseofmaddisonLeave a comment

Working out has never looked so good. After all the goal of fitness is to look good; that’s why this OhPolly Bo and Tee workout set is so good. I usually struggle with legging length due to having super long legs, also most leggings are awfully see-through! These knock spots off of other styles I have tried; they have a double thickness so there is no transparency and the length of the bottoms were pretty good, especially considering OhPolly length is usually hit and miss for me as a tall girl.

I adore the rocking red colour, it’s super bright and encouraging. The wrap over style of the top made me feel secure while it looked super stylish. I enjoy going for a speed walk so this set is perfect when you want to look nice but feel suitable for exercise. The cropped length of the top is complimented greatly by the high waisted legging. Now, I must get back to the gym for a spin class because this set is so beautiful.

BLUE FLORAL SUMMER

Published on August 14, 2020August 17, 2020 by houseofmaddisonLeave a comment

I just can’t get enough of Zara at the moment! I have MANY more blogs to come with mostly Zara clothing, I’m just obsessed. Now, since I was a little girl I have LOVED a baby blue and pink colour mix; it stems from a little light blue summer top with pink flowers that I wore when I was younger, I felt so cool when I wore it (bless lil Mads). Forward 10 years and here I am sporting a Zara baby blue and pink floral summer dress. The ruched bodice and frill detailing are so precious, while the mini length and heart neckline adds a sprinkle of sass. Not only is does the ruching give the dress ample stretch and fits tight to my best features, but it also adds great detailing. Ideal for lunching and brunching or for a Summer cocktail. I wore off-white heeled sandals here, but tan or white sliders would look perfect too.

NEWMARKET JULY FESTIVAL LADIES DAY 2020 – I MADE THE TOP 10 BEST DRESSED!

Published on July 12, 2020July 12, 2020 by houseofmaddisonLeave a comment

This 2020 the Newmarket July Festival Ladies Day Style-Awards was held virtually via Instagram. Seeing the Style Awards advertised via the Velvet Mag website I knew I would definitely be entering. What a great way to encourage people to get dress-up and stay-in in the current climate! I absolutely adore styling for the races as it’s a prestigious event, which requires a sophisticated arrangement.

This year I selected an attractive white and blush pink colour scheme. Never Fully Dressed is one of my favourite go-to websites for a show-stopping number. I selected their White Leo Textured Dress. The fluted sleeves panelled modest length and high neck combine for a flawless style. The embroidered texture adds flair to the graceful piece. I’m incredibly lucky to have a talented creative Mumma who kindly crafted the hat from scratch! The blush pink hat matches identically to the blush pink satin ASOS heel with ankle strap. ONCE AGAIN, my Mumma’s incredible vintage accessories have been inherited by me; this time in the form of a sage satin, embroidered bag. The pastel bag with grab handle is a darling, quaint addition to the modern outfit.

Entering my look to the Style Awards via my House Of Maddison Instagram for a bit of fun, I was delighted to be placed in the top 10 Best Dressed. I was delighted to have been posted on both the Velvet Mag Instagram and Website. Next year I cannot wait to attend Ladies Day in person. I’ve started planning my outfit already!

MADDISON’S JUNE

Published on June 30, 2020June 30, 2020 by houseofmaddisonLeave a comment

This June has been an unbelievably stressful and rewarding month of my life. Finishing my dissertation required a large amount of resilience and determination. My hard work and dedication enabled me to finish a piece of work that I am immensely proud of. Since, I have taken some time to fully relax which I have never had the opportunity to do before. My fitness levels have increased and as restrictions of lockdown have reduced I’ve taken the time to spend some quality time with close friends and family. With my 21^st birthday approaching in July I am taking this unprecedented time to reflect on what I have achieved and plan what I want my future to look like. I hope you’re all happy and doing well!

GRADUATING UNIVERSITY!

After 3 rewarding years reading BA Hons Fashion Marketing & Management at University of Southampton, Winchester School of Art I handed in my Final Major Project/Dissertation titled Gucci Travel Club in June. Throughout my time at university not only have I been enthralled by a subject that I absolutely adore, but I also learnt the most valuable life lessons and formed friendships that will last a lifetime. My Mumma has always said that university is not only about learning your craft it’s mainly incredibly grounding for a person, I couldn’t agree more. I lived in university halls for the first year, then private halls for the second and third years which I nicknamed my ‘New York Apartment’. I feel incredibly overwhelmed that my university experience was cut short due to Coronavirus however, it gave me the opportunity to work undistracted on my final project.

I was incredibly fortunate to go on 3 trips of a lifetime while at university. In first year, I visited Berlin, second year I travelled to Florence and in third year I visited my bucket list destination; New York. Each trip I learnt numerous clandestine facts about the fashion industry. When visiting Florence, the group visited a perfumery named Sileno Cheloni where the informed experts offer a personalised scent experience made from all-natural ingredients. Sileno Cheloni creates the signature scent that Gucci uses within their stores; I find sensory marketing exceptionally fascinating.

Now that I have finished university and I have a small break before finding my dream fashion job I will take the time to post about my university projects on this blog. I may even make a few YouTube videos explaining the innovations. Expect a lot of posting coming your way!
