GREEN + WHITE = SUMMER DREAM

Published on July 15, 2020July 15, 2020 by houseofmaddisonLeave a comment

Green and white is an absolute all-time favourite of mine. Having green eyes, when I wear green it accentuates the colour, especially in the summer. Satin midi skirts are a killer item to have in your wardrobe, this sage colouring is perfect to couple with lighter colours. I paired the skirt with an ASOS white bandeau with a darling sage polka-dot pattern. The mix of a satin skirt with a pretty top creates casual outfit, ideal for a beach trip or a spot of shopping. I styled my H&M white cotton sliders with bow detail with the flattering skirt and top combo. I absolutely adore straw hats, especially this ASOS bow-tie style. The oversized size and bow detailing finish the dreamy look.

DRESSY DRAMA

Published on May 15, 2020May 15, 2020 by houseofmaddisonLeave a comment

Although currently we can’t go out, everyone is itching for a dress up and boogie. I’ve felt completely deflated about going-out dress styles. They’re all similar and there was nothing edgy with newness, until…Zara released this teal, ruched detail, shoulder padded, faux leather dress! The teal leather colouring is incredibly rare, in fact I’ve never seen a dress like it and the style is so distinctive against average dresses. Being 5ft 8 and having long legs it’s problematic to find dresses that are long enough, this length however is flirty, yet modest. I swapped my signature curls for a tight, poker bun to contrast against the voluminous shoulders. Adding my Primark off-white sandals, the evening look was complete. When cocktails can be sipped again, I will be wearing this dress.

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!

HELLO SAILOR!

Published on August 19, 2019November 12, 2019 by houseofmaddisonLeave a comment

I absolutely adore classy dressing. Long flowing trousers, blazers and neck scarfs make a killer combination. Late summery colours of cream, navy and red are so sailor chic and together look so sophisticated. These Mango cream flowing trousers are to die for! They are so comfortable and can be styled to suit day-time or evening dressing. The tie allows you to clinch in the waist. The H&M stiped boat neck thin jumper is the perfect print for the sailor look, tucked into the trousers. The tailored NEXT navy blazer with gold buttons and shoulder padding is so elegant and a strong staple. This neck scarf is from a Florence street-market and combines the different colour elements of the outfit, with a dash of sassy red. Neck scarfs are so Vogue, I totally love spicing up an outfit with this accessory. This photoshoot shot on the beautiful Norfolk coast at Holkam was the perfect setting for this refined sailor look.

STRIKING STRIPES

Published on March 25, 2018June 9, 2018 by houseofmaddison1 Comment

Who doesn’t love a suit?! This one is perfect for in-between the spring and summer months. There is nothing smarter than a suit co-ord for a Spring/Summer evening out or holiday wear. This Primark suit has a tailored businesswoman style with a striking Ivory and deep Navy statement stripe. Paired with an H&M bralette and Primark stilettos the look becomes more fashion forward and youthful. The white lace bralette adds texture against the clean linen of the suit; creating contrasting fabrics, which is strong for this season. A classic white T and Sneakers would create a more casual edge. Bringing back the 60’s – the first era where pantsuits stormed female fashion, suits are still key and more relevant in current feminine fashion. Styling the hair with a relaxed beach-wave adds a refreshing uncomplicated look while a simple twisted topknot or low bun crafts a more sophisticated chic. This suit is perfectly seductive with a rebellious twist and a hint of nostalgia; all the requirements to kill it!

SUMMER CHILL

Published on July 26, 2017July 27, 2017 by houseofmaddisonLeave a comment

English Summer is temperamental to say the least! We often buy a whole wardrobe of high summer wear, only to be graced with high winds and cool temperatures, left unable to style those tropical outfits. I have always been a fan of the shirt and jumper combo, it just screams class. The chunky knit of this Zara jumper (from the sale) is perfect to roll up to three-quarter length sleeves, showing a glimpse of an accessorised wrist; in this instance a rose gold watch. The chunky knit also provides the essential warmth needed on chilly Summer days, especially ideal for coastal trips. Pairing the shirt/jumper combo with a denim skort provides the Summer vibe. Navy, white and denim demands red accessories; I chose red frill suede flats; a red box bag (both from Topshop) and a signature red lip to make the colours pop. The final touch needed was the navy and white dotted silk neckerchief, adding a sense of Summer chic to the outfit.
