Made in Chelsea: High Street Edition

I can't say I particularly love, or even like, many people from the E4 reality TV series, Made in Chelsea, but there are a few things that make me an addict anyway... I love the drama, Proudlock and I definitely love the clothes!!

There were some pretty snazzy outfits on Monday's episode but I picked a few favourites in considering the current trends this AW13 season.


My style crush of the night had to be Miss Rosie Fortescue. I have absolutely adored her style since the first season and she never fails to impress. This style-savvy beauty mixes high street brands, like Zara and Asos, with designer labels to create a chic and charming look. Rosie totally gets away with mixing red and green without looking like Christmas décor, pulling off the coloured leather trend (mentioned last week) like a pro.

    Check out Rosie's blog, At Fashion Forte, for more info on the outfits worn. 


The runner up for my style star this episode was Phoebe-Lettice Thompson. Despite the horrific attempt to go hood with the hair and the dirty look she shot at everyone 90% of the episode, she did rock a sexy and glamorous look... from the neck down. A lace dress can allow a person to be covered from head to toe and still have the guys staring, although it's only respectable to wear a bikini underneath if you're at the beach- don't be a fool.
    For this season, try a black mini dress, under a crochet, lace or sheer maxi, with an oversized fur gillet, chunky ankle boots and a statement necklace to finish.

Faux Fur Gillet- F&F, £30
Stone Chain Necklace- Miss Selfridge, £15
Mesh Insert Maxi Dress- H&M, £14.99
Triangle Detail Neclace- River Island, £12
Thick Sole Ankle Boots- Asos, £35

Check our Etsy and Ebay for crochet & lace maxi dresses, they're mostly vintage or the seller only has one so take a look NOW!

Although he wasn't in the episode too much, I can't go without professing my love for Oliver Proudlock and the royally hipster vibe he exudes through his style, ignoring the questionable high bun that he decided to sport this episode- I'm just glad he stuck with one bun and didn't do a Miley. This week Mr Proudlock was looking super-fly in his Serge DeNimes Scull Sweater (£69), an original urban brand that focuses on excellent quality, founded by Proudlock himself. A graphic print sweater is a great way to immediately style up a causal outfit. Wear it with slim fit jeans and accessories with a snap back and or a chain.
Slim Jeans- H&M £24.99
Baroque Sleeve Sweatshirt- Topman, £28
Rosary Necklace- Topman, £5
Nike Air Vortex- Office £66.99

That's it for now, but come back next week.

Stay beautiful!
