Joselle Nguyen - Business Administrator at Madia and Matilda

Joselle is an intern business administration at M & M and for the 12 days - countdown to Christmas is inspired by real girls and aspiration women, we asked Joselle to join in. 

Here is Joselle's views on ethical and sustainable fashion:

The miracle of Madia & Matilda is that every little pieces of fabrics counted, I can see a tiny piece of material finds its place in a wonderful dress. Today's inspiration comes from those stories.

For the day look, an elegant Riene top with a playful Simone Chequered Print Wrap Skirt would be my choices.

For a minimalist night look, why not Julia Metallic Sheer Dress paired with stilettos and a coat (or tights and heeled boots for those nights it is slightly chiller!)?

However, for something a little more risky, yet still completely elegant, I would choose a Violet Velvet Panel Dress? 

Sincerely Madia & Matilda

Countdown to Christmas - Day 9 - Style A Day

Natalie Kay Smith – Responsible Fashion Blogger:

For today’s style steal, we thought we would focus on +Natalie Smith from Sustainably Chic a sustainable fashion blogger that is living proof that Fashion Can Exist Responsibly. Over the years we have got to know Natalie and her zest for fashion.

Here, are our favourite day time looks for Natalie; Natasha Jersey Top or the Eloise-Dungaree-Dress, as Natalie loves a day dress or a jersey top.

As Natalie is not one to worry about trying something a little different, we have selected with our Kalani silk-lined jacket and Fahra Velvet Dress;

For New Years eve, Mary A-Line Skater Dress, is Natalie down to a 't' and is now available in Sale 

It’s simple style and beauty can be dressed up with a good ethically produced coat and heels, or dressed down in a simple cardi and boots. It’s all up to you, but whatever you choose, make sure you put your own spin on it with a conscious outlook – you could be someone else’s ethical style inspiration

Sincerely Madia & Matilda

Countdown to Christmas - Day 8 - Style A Day

Jennifer Aniston – Actress:

Today’s style inspiration comes from the one and only Jennifer Aniston. The F.R.I.E.N.D.S actress is hugely admired here at Madia & Matilda for her individual style, strength and of course, her acting skills.

We have several posts about how to recreate Jen’s character Rachel’s look already on our blog. Today, however, we wanted to celebrate Jennifer’s own style.

As a fan of strappy long dresses, you to can flawlessly rock red-carpet-ready look in our Amelia or Ruth strap dresses.

However for a more chilled out daytime look, stringing our Greta Blouse with the Ellen Cigarette Trousers together with a pair of ankle boots to exude confidence and style. Who knows, you might even be the next lady to get over Brad Pitt… (Cringe?) 

Countdown to Christmas - Day 4 - Style a Day

Emma Watson – Actress/sustainable fashion advocate:

Following the release of the latest film Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them that is currently taking the Wizarding World by storm, we thought we’d cast our minds back to the original Queen B of the world of Harry Potter.

Emma Watson is not only a renowned actress in top films such as the Harry Potter saga but has also starred in releases like The Perks of Being a Wallflower and spends her spare time advocating for Human Rights – particularly Women’s. 

We at Madia & Matilda think that makes her a superhero in her own right, but particularly when it comes to her style. Emma has her own look, taking inspiration from the latest trends as well as her own passions. In 2010 she worked closely alongside People Tree, a sustainable brand like us, to create her own line and continued creating clothing for the company until late 2012.

Dress her look in our very own Dakota knitted tank top and Ellen Cigarette Leg Trousers or for a more adventurous night wear look, try our Bella Halter Neck Jumpsuit or Amber Lace Top and Evelin Mini Skirt.



Sincerely Madia & Matilda

Countdown to Christmas - Day 3 - Style A Day

Giovanna Fletcher – “Giovanna’s World” blogger/TV presenter:

Blogger at Giovanna’s World, TV Presenter, Mum and all-round superwoman! Today’s on-trend lady is Giovanna Fletcher. 

Her style perfectly captures her energy and confidence whilst maintaining a practical and elegant look for her day-to-day plans. She seamlessly transforms her day look for night wear.

Channel your own inner Giovanna in our Abbie silver smock dress for an evening occasion or replicate Gi’s daytime look in our Mercia Frill Sleeve Top and Camille High Waisted Capri Trousers, paired with our Emery Sleeveless Jacket. To really finish off the look, why not add a pair of Olivia vegan shoes from our curated brand Bourgeois Boheme now available in store and online.



Sincerely Madia & Matilda

Countdown to Christmas - Day 2 - Style A Day

Besma – “Curiously Conscious” blogger:

Curiously Conscious is a lifestyle blog from girl crush Besma who specialises in highlighting everything you need to know about living a healthier, more sustainable and ethical life. Her curiosity for living consciously gives her a unique sense of style and inspires today’s look.

Besma tends to favour simple clothing in plain colours or an in-your-face pattern. For a day time look that would reproduce this, why not try our Jain Playsuit – the simplistic style has a small pattern in the fabric we think matches Besma’s style effortlessly. 

Failing that, our Martha Skirt with the Serina Sheer Short Sleeve Blouse could be another potential style steal.

Watch out for more with +Curiously Conscious and +Madia & Matilda as we shall be collaborating with her in the new year

Sincerely Madia & Matilda
