Style crushin' on...Ashley Madakwe

What could be better than one of my favourite fashionistas off the telly (Revenge FYI) having her own personal style blog. Ring My Bell from London native, LA based actress Ashley Madakwe is my favourite to read or rather visually salivate over, as her clothes and styling are amazing. 

A heady mix of designer and ye old high street makes for interesting and inspiring ensembles. I also sat watching videos on Youtube the other day as I actually want to be her friend, she seems so cool and down to earth, reaffirmed in that she has a blog and is charitable enough where to get her outfits from. I love the way she does glam and dressed down extremely well and something I am "trying" to learn as I love the idea of being dressed down with a quirky accessory or two and pulling out all the stops for an event or night out. 

Here are my favourite Ashley Madakwe looks below...

"Gatsby, what Gatsby?"

I went to see the "Great Gatsby" a few days ago and despite the rather mixed reviews, LOVED it. Why? For two main reasons - Leonardo DiCaprio and the fashion. However, I left feeling very sad as to why all men can't dress like this anymore....

Primark dungarees, Topshop platforms, Boohoo white shirt and Portabello Road sunglasses.

Floral crowns galore - circle/mirrored sunglasses - dungarees - white blouses - vintage dresses and flats, ideal for London summers - my new Topshop polka dot trainers/creepers/platforms hybrid?!

The Mirror Sunglasses

I got mirrored circle sunglasses this weekend from Portabello Market for a bargainous 5 quid (Topshop had them for 20!). I can't wait to wear them probably with my black chiffon dress and polka dot platform trainers and hair buns. Yes that is the look. 

Here is a sneak peek, photo to follow...

 I AM SO PSYCHED TO WEAR THESE!

Recycling Old Clothes # 1

Headband - Miss Selfridge circa 2007, Lipstick - Mac Ruby Woo

Dress- Boohoo, cuff - H&M circa 2009

Wore these old clothes of mines out in Clapham on Saturday. After a very tight few months, I've resorted to recycling a lot of my old Uni clothes and have found some right wee gems. 

Being sustainable and creating new outfits = happy me. 

Carey Mulligan - US Vogue

I adore these images of Carey Mulligan in US Vogue. To celebrate the release of "Great Gatsby", one of my favourite novels of all time, Mulligan appears in the new edition draped in diamonds, oozing flapper girl style and class. I love these artistic images, and even better seeing the Brit actress in various Miu Miu, Chanel and Alexander McQueen pieces. I am now so excited for the release I may pee my pants with excitment...
