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

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?)

Bianca Miller – Entrepreneur:

Bianca is already a fan of our Emery Sleeveless Jacket, as shown in the above picture

This Monday's, style and motivational inspiration comes from Series 10’s The Apprentice (2014) runner up and entrepreneur Bianca Miller. 

As an advocate of ours and the lady making it alone with her tights business to suit every skin colour, we think Bianca’s beauty and brains are highlighted through her sense of style.

For a timeless daytime look that replicates Bianca’s style and professionalism, try pairing our Cassie Sheer Top with Jean Slim Cut Trousers and throw on the Emery Sleeveless Jacket or a good coat and heeled boots, or mix it up for a night look in our Elsa Dropped Armscye Shift Dress in Black, add stilettos, a pair of Bianca’s own tights range, and a little sparkle and you’ll be catching eyes all night.

Countdown to Christmas - Day 6 - Style A Day

Nina Nesbitt – Musician:

With the New Year drawing closer, we’re focusing on party style today and who better to show us how it’s done then Scottish star Nina Nesbitt? Her edgy look highlights her personality and sheer talent whilst remaining totally on-trend. For a night out look that is a little different but would mimic the “Stay Out”stars look, try our Julia Metallic Sheer Dress. 

The unique style of the dress will have you turning heads wherever you go.

However, for a more relaxed day time wear that highlights Nina’s unique sense of style, try our Tilly Crop Top and Claudia Pleated Skirt, with a pair of boots and a sleek jacket.

Shelley Morecroft – Petite Fashion blogger:

Friend of M & M and long term Photographer Shelley Anne Morecroft, is today's style inspiration! Due to her recent blog startup, the well recieved Shelley Morecroft: A Petite Fashion Blog. Shelley’s exclusive style does not follow the rules; a style that says, I have arrived! "she once told us that fashion is not suppose to be boring, so she dress with conscious intent everyday."  She tends to favour more classic looks in her style but adds a touch of on-trend twists.

You too, can indeed look smokin’ this season styles and to recreate Shelley’s distinctive look, try our Poppy jumpsuit or Elise Linen Top with the Lilly Pleated Skirt and lace up boots. Stack up the rings, and several simplistic necklaces - and maybe even a choker - for that classic rock star look.

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.
