Style Icon of the Month: Ashley Madekwe
Normally, we like to dissect a beauty look from one lovely lady every month and talk about what makes her at superstar level. This month, I was inspired not only by a specific gal's beauty, but also her style. Chicks, this lady has got game. You may recognize Ms. Ashley Madekwe from the show Revenge. She's a British bird with gorge eyebrows and a heck of a closet. In fact, she even has a fabulous 'look of the day' type blog where she puts together fabulous, effortlessly chic outfits. And her Instagram account? Ugh, I die of jealousy.
She manages to mix feminine and edgy in the perfect way. Pink fuzzy coat and doc martens? She makes them her biatch. And who else could pull off a jumper with a neon frilled top? I'm going to say no one. She also tends to repeat her fave items which makes her seem utterly likeable and un-celeb like.
I'm extremely jealous of her shoe collection as well. Who am I kidding, I'm jealous of her all. Evidence: Her husband is the photog behind her blog. I must now marry a man who owns a camera. Like, yesterday.
Love Ashley's style? Here are a few pieces to inject into your wardrobe that I think even she'd covet:
1. Jacob Plaid Narrow Ankle Pant (C$89.90)
2. Dr. Martens 1460 Boots (C$159.99)
3. Nars Lipstick in Fire Down Below (C$30.00)
4. J Crew Double Gem Necklace (US$156.00)
5. ASOS Coat With Contrast Sleeve & Zip Detail (C$60.95, on sale)
6. TopShop Rhodium Metal Trim Heels (UK$55.00)
