The great thing about the weather finally getting better is that we can start dressing a little more carefree, we don’t have to worry about freezing our ears off or not being able to move our hands without a pair of think gloves. The freedom of the summer is the greatest thing about it.
We can once again add colour to our wardrobe, and floral patterns and mix matched outfits are back, so they are definitely going to make a huge appearance this season. You can take inspiration from such style icons as Alexa Chung, her British inspired and unique style has taken the world by storm.
Chung is a muse to many fashion designers because of her distinctive personal style. She frequently appears on best-dressed lists, is a regular cover girl for Vogue, Elle and Harper's Bazaar and is often seen in the front row at fashion shows. In 2009 the designer handbag company Mulberry created a much sought-after bag named after and inspired by Chung, called the "Alexa".
Vogue’s Anna Wintour has described Chung as "a phenomenon” while the New York Times has declared her "the Kate Moss of the new generation". In December 2010, Bryan Ferry, on behalf of the British Fashion Council, presented Chung with the British Style Award which "recognises an individual who embodies the spirit of British fashion and is an international ambassador for the UK as a leading creative hub for fashion" at a ceremony at the Savoy Theatre in London.
Everything about Alexa screams style icon. She knows how to style things perfectly, even things you wouldn’t necessarily firstly think of wearing during the warmer months. Leather desert boots, such as the ones sold at desertboots.com are a perfect example. Most people would associate desert boots with the winter wardrobe, but mixed with the right skirt or dress and the right accessories, desert boots can be the perfect summer footwear.
