Style - Retro Rewind

Being surrounded by vintage fabrics in the Madia and Matilda hub a retro rewind is inevitable – queue the minis that’ll make any 60s girl proud, and jumpsuits for channelling you’re inner Woodstock flower power

We’ve created Minnie the mini and Simone the tartan wrap for the sassiest of 60s inspired M&M girls. For those channelling their Ms. Jean Brodie, pair Minnie with some mid heel ballerina pumps for the perfect 60s leg baring look. If 90s is more your thing, wear Simone with a velvet choker and space buns for thatSpice Girls girl power. Grab your Doc Martens, leather jacket and Simone skirt (or sister piece the Jessie trousers) for channelling your inner 80s female rebel.

As a modern take on Audrey’s black Breakfast At Tiffany’s dress we’ve created Cordelia. The evening dress with the perfectly elegant high bateau neck and flattering slim cut, pair with a messy beehive for the effortless chic look Audrey would approve of.

Bella the halter neck jumpsuit is a piece we love for its versatility. Wear as a modern day statement piece or, wear a bell sleeved Bardot top for Summer of Love vibes.

Culture - Festival Fashion

Lets let our hair down to the sound of the heavy base, dreamlike vocals and the clapping tambourine, its festival time. That pulsating rhythm and unbearable energy  that has been building up as excitement for many moons since can finally be shed in the 2-5 most crazy days of your life in a random field in the middle of nowhere. Don’t we love Britain. We really know how to make the most of our unpredictable weather and many empty fields. There are many festival looks that all set you apart from your normal mundane life ,that a festivals so kindly rescue you from, which one are you?

Raver

The raver, this is the type of person that will DIY their trainers with neon paint which they did in the back seat of their friends car on the way over, but actually look amazing! Neon and bright colours are your best friends, the more noticeable you can be in the mist of a crowd getting down and cutting shapes, the better. For the best festival inspiration we recommend the 80’s and ‘rave culture’, accessories would include neon body paint with neon bracelets. To feel a more festival vibe rather than a club vibe wear a very secure flower crown, very secure, any tie dye or psychedelic prints. You go girl! ‘@xc3pti0nal’ is the perfect instagram inspiration for you.

Etheriel

These are for the more barefoot hippies at heart, you like your bindi’s and face jewels with as much glitter as your can get your hands on.  If you end up being attracted to and wearing lots of other cultural influences like India or Africa clothing this is probably you. Kimono’s, Indian prints, lots of heavy jewelry and headbands that stretch across your forehead with hair feathers that seem to be even longer than your long locks/dreds. If you want any instagramers that get your level look at ‘@ttigerlilly’  and ‘@alisa.belochkina’ these girls know how to style the ultimate boho look.

Silly costumes

These are the theme searchers, the dress code organizers, if there’s a dress up theme, you will go all out. Onsies of every kind and every animal, outrageous banana costumes and meme inspired costumes. You’ll make lots of friends I can assure you, that’s the fantastic thing about wearing outlandish funny costumes you get a lot of appreciation and attention, so if your aim is to make as many friends as possible then wear something crazy and you’ll be sorted.

The relaxed party goer

This the type of person who comes across as a lot more laid back kinda gal, you will maybe be a bit more sensible about your look, more practical. And I don’t mean boring ladies and gentleman, I mean not freezing your self to death round the camp fire because your wearing short shorts and practically just a bra. You go for a Kate moss kind of look, a pair of knee high boots/wellies with some hot pants and a floaty top a singular gold chain necklace, with a waistcoat adorned with tasttles. Our colour pallete is a more monochromatic classic type. This is a very popular look for lots of festival goers and we should take a leaf out of their book because they are probably the most prepared for the mud and crazy.

Have fun this festival season and don’t feel confined by these categories We’ve set, mix them up and have fun with your own style. Have one on us

Our Muse - Corrine Bailey Rae

Madia & Matilda's girl crush at the moment has to be the gorgeous Corrine Bailey Rae her style seems to be effortless and completely natural, we are loving her outfits which just enhance her brilliance. I mean look at her, the colours suite her skin tone perfectly, she keeps it classy showing just the right amount of flesh, the silhouettes and fit of her clothes suites her figure to a T. We feel that she would suite our brand's aesthetic effortlessly, her nonchalant attitude would suite our chic sophisticated look.

Culture - Cheltenham Food Festival

Madia & Matilda have been anticipating Cheltenham's food festival as one of the perks of living in the Cotswolds, for a long long time. Part of our reason for Madia & Matilda to be going along, apart from eating all the yummy food!  Is to check up on our lovely target market of Cheltenham, seeing what our local customers are interested in, looking for and wearing. to absorb yourself in local events we see this to be very important. To understand our customers and get to know them.

A festival for the submersion of the senses. white tents decked with decadence to sample as you please, floury puffs in the bakery tents dusted with icing sugar and coco powder still peppering the air. while just across the stall oily and thick with an array of cheeses stacked up in pillars, fresh to cut and serve.

                                             Sincerely Madia & Matilda
