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

Starting today 12 Days of Style - A post a day filled with style inspiration & competitions counting down to Christmas 










Rachelle Darbouze – “With The Grey” blogger:



https://withthegrey.wordpress.com/




With The Grey https://withthegrey.wordpress.com/is a minimalist fashion blog from creative genius Rachelle Darbouze, who also features her work on Youtube and Etsy. Her modest style is of a slow fashion nature with handy tips on how to maintain a minimalist wardrobe, with simple and timeless styles, that are beautiful in its own right. We love how Rachelle manages to creating a balance of the high st, well known, with small independent brands. Her support for ethical fashion like ours is what makes her today’s style inspiration. 







Here's a few looks we thought would suit Rachelle's style, our Dakota Knitted Tank Top with Aisha tapered leg trousers and a trench coat and pumps for a smart but chic daytime look that the
 With The Grey blogger 





would be proud of, and as a fan of high necks, we think Rachelle would appreciate the simplicity of the Ivy Playsuit for a relaxed night time look that one can dress up or dress down just as easily. Either way, keep it simple, and you are sure to impress.

Style - Rachel Green Effortless Style









Post Thanks Giving, we thought we'd write about our all time favourite American icon of the century, Rachel Green.



For years the Friends style icon has covered our screens, looking impeccably effortless in her fashion selection. 














Whether it is her casual dungaree look, with a jersey top.













Roll neck and plaid skirt, denim or no denim Rachel Green had 90's style sorted.




   



  



Even work attire or an effortless party dress, we feel some of our collection unknowingly emulates Rachel's zest for fashion.
