ONE HUNDRED STARS GOWN

Published on November 24, 2020November 24, 2020 by houseofmaddisonLeave a comment

I’ve always dreamed of owning a delectable gown that I could pair with Autumn knits or Spring pieces. While staycationing in Wells earlier this year I spied this incredibly distinctive One Hundred Stars printed duster coat in a small boutique. I’d never heard of the brand, however many celebrities including Nigella are fellow fans. This delicate ‘Iris Grey Gown’ is a piece from One Hundred Stars collaboration with KEW Royal Botanic Gardens. As described on the website ‘the Gown is made from a custom blend of modal and viscose which creates a silky-smooth lightweight material while having a more sustainable impact on the environment.’ Not only did I purchase the gown from a local store, promoting supporting small businesses, the piece itself has sustainable features; two reasons why I adore the piece even more. It was an investment piece at £75; I think it is essential to build up a wardrobe of pieces that you will keep for life. A stunningly timeless piece with unique dusty pink, green and slate grey colouring. The elegant hang and silky feel of the material is everything you would desire in a designer piece. The block colour slate grey waist belt and collar brings the colours together effectively. Here I styled the gown over a Zara cream midi knit skirt, beige top, with my signature Mango fashion wellies. I cinched in the waist with my tan leather Zara belt for a more everyday look. I am totally in love with this design.

1 Puffball skirt, wedges and a white shirt. This half 80’s inspired style is a summer stand-out! Puffball skirts are so flattering. This Zara taupe voluminous skirt with paperbag-style waist and adjustable drawstrings is a key piece. Paired with the white Zara cut-out shirt, against neutral the summer style palette is aesthetic. The cropped style of the shirt compliments the mid waist height of the skirt. The white wedges add height, finishing off the look.

VILLANELLE VIBES – SEASON 1 MOTORBIKE

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Villanelle has the crown for the queen of spring/summer fashion. Her audacious, arrogant style is ironic due to her job title…yet that fact makes it more attractive. Riding on a motorcycle to her next mission, the confident anti-heroine heroine steps off in denim shorts, a ruffle shirt and biker boots; iconic! The simplest combination, yet it looks wonderfully tasteful.

Channelling my inner Villanelle (style wise, not personality wise!) I styled my relaxed Zara blue denim shorts, with my Mumma’s vintage chiffon, cream ruffle shirt with pussy bow and off-white Gortex Converse boots. The chicness of the tight-fit of the shorts, combined with the loose ruffle shirt billowing out is my favourite look for SS/20.

DREAMING OF BEACH DAYS

If this isn’t the cutest dress you’ve ever seen! ASOS is killing the game with their striped designs. I already purchased a blue/white stiped shirt dress and then they released this darling style. The tiered, frilled mini-dress design is a stunning variation of a summer dress. The plunge neckline and back adds flair to the cutesy style. Layer a lacy bandeau or a crop top underneath for a more covered look. The loose fit is idyllic for warmer weather, while in colder weather I recommend layering a white shirt underneath. I paired the dress with white wedges, a natural trilby and leather braided bracelet that I bought in Florence. The mix of natural accessories with the dress adds a vacation feel.

FACETIME DATE-NIGHT

Published on April 1, 2020March 31, 2020 by houseofmaddisonLeave a comment

While we all self-isolate that does not mean our social lives have to end! Facetime has been my saviour. Whether it’s a friend date or a flirty date, Facetime is the perfect platform to maintain a social life. The focal thing that I’m missing as a fashion focused female is getting dressed up. Slobbing around in comfies isn’t my natural style. However, dressing up does not have to stop…virtual date nights mean you can rock a killer outfit in the comfort of your own home.

I had this outfit planned out prior to lockdown, all sourced via ASOS (except the Gucci belt). The white organza/silk bralette top is perfect for drinks out. The organza dramatic sleeves, combined with the satin effect bodice is an impeccable contrast, while the frill is figure flattering. Here I styled the bralette with mom jeans; the perfect item to dress-down a look. Jeans paired with heels is a look I have adored for years; timeless yet chic. Sandals are the current footwear of choice; these nude mid-heels are the perfect height to walk comfortably and look super elegant. Bottega Veneta clutch bags have captured the market, such a simple design yet so fashionable. Many high-street retailers have made replica styles, including this ASOS white clutch. The clutch is a faultless design, the size and style of the bag makes an outfit. I finished the look with my signature Gucci belt. This weekend I look forward to my quarantine date-night…in style!

GOLDEN GIRL

Published on November 12, 2019March 28, 2020 by houseofmaddisonLeave a comment

Metallic is the Autumn must-have! Glossy clothing stands out amongst the Autumn dullness and transitions flawlessly into Winter too. These Zara gold trousers are so distinctive, perfect for someone who loves obscure styles…ME! The best thing about these outrageous trousers is they can be styled for evening or daytime. Here I’ve styled a daytime outfit; a simple black knit with gold button detailing, black velvet blazer and black sock boots – streamlined and sassy. This metallic style works best with plain block colouring, so the other clothing doesn’t distract from the statement trouser. For an evening look style with a black silk bralette or black bodysuit with tie ankle sandals. The trousers would also work with a warm knit and block trainers.

TRENCH DRESS

The classic trench is a Spring MUST. I’ve always been a fan of the classic style and it keeps popping up on ‘new in’ everywhere! I try to take my own twist on current trends and this OhPolly dress caught my eye. I’ve wanted a trench dress for so long; the style is timeless. Perfect for day to night styling, the dress is the ultimate piece for all day shopping trips. The belt pulls in the waist; the aesthetic of ultimate femininity. It can be worn off the shoulder; undone to the waist with a top underneath or thrown over an outfit as a model trench. I paired it with knee high brown suede boots; the perfect duo. Accessorised with the gold Abbott Lyon watch the outfit was complete.

DRESSING FOR DRIZZLY DAYS

Published on August 26, 2018February 12, 2019 by houseofmaddisonLeave a comment

I don’t know if it’s just me, but dressing for drizzly summer days is the most IMPOSSIBLE task! With a multitude of summer clothes that haven’t yet been worn, it seems a shame to not wear them. So when the first summer down pour came I had noooo idea what to throw on… My inner Donna Sheridan came to the rescue – dungarees! The perfect solution; covered enough to stay dry and warm, yet still a summer statement. Underneath I styled with this PLT sand Bardot top with statement sleeves and button up front – super hot this season. This top is the ultimate sweet summer piece, perfect for underneath dungarees. These ASOS sandals have been my summer saviour and sass up the outfit. The Zara sandy coloured hat suited the tone perfectly. Accessorising with a baker boy hat will never get old; they’re the cutest accessory and always finish an outfit. Going into Autumn denim continues to kill it in jumpsuits and boiler suits; be sure to get one ASAP!

PINK IS TOTALLY HOT

Published on August 17, 2018August 17, 2018 by houseofmaddisonLeave a comment

Forget hot pink…pink is TOTALLY HOT! The most daring colour is a hit for the AW18 season. People tend to avoid bright colours for the fear of looking garish or standing out too much, well I say go for it! This delectable rose pink silk shirt from mango at only £30 was a no brainer for my bank account, it was mine without question. The stunning shine of the shirt can be complimented with a matte white leather skirt and stiletto heels – as styled here – or played down with white culottes and a pretty pump. The lightweight flow of the shirt makes it perfect to tuck and the shade couldn’t be more beautiful. This look can be carried right through to SS19 so it’s a keeper.

LADY IN LEOPARD

Published on August 6, 2018January 14, 2019 by houseofmaddisonLeave a comment

Trends come and go, but animal print has always been a classic, revived completely for SS & AW 18. Every brand imaginable has multiple items in notorious leopard print. The trend igniting all over catwalks; lead by Tom Ford in a multitude of colours for AW 2018, sparked the renewal of this classic. Although many brands are designing the print in multiple colours, personally I believe the traditional print cannot be beaten. Zara – always on the ball – released this leopard print long midi. The midi is being worn by all fashionistas; a style favoured by Megan Markle causing a wave amongst the most fashionable. The modest length accessorised with a statement heel creates a stylish, come sassy look.
