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.

THE PERFECT GREEN JEAN

The perfect green jean! This outfit is Zara from head-to-toe. Green is a great summer colour; these jeans are a great alternative to the classic blue denim. Green and white is a late-summer must. These jeans are a great item to bag right now, summer will begin to draw out and they’re an ideal more covered option. The white ruched, bardot, cross-over top has an idyllic cropped length to cut in at the waist, which looks super flattering. Accessorised with the canvas grab bag with brown leather edging and brown leather sliders with pearl décor, the classy look is complete.

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!
