Have you ever put on a dress and instantly fell in love? This dress is from the new Alexa Chung collaboration with Marks and Spencer, Archive by Alexa, and It's gorgeous. Alexa has been a bit of a style icon for a while now, and I certainly admire her style in magazines and on Pinterest all the time! Naturally, when I heard she was going to be doing a line with Marks and Spencer, I was keen to see what she'd come up with! The thing I like most about her style is the vintage feel of her clothing. They're classic pieces with flare, but nothing too ostentatious.
I fell in love straight away with a few pieces in her collection, but the Eliza dress takes the cake. I love how colorful it is, and the high neck is very on trend at the moment. I was a little bit nervous trying on the dress, since, well, Alexa is so tall and slender, whereas I am the exact opposite, but as it turns out, I didn't have anything to be worried about. It's so flattering no matter your size.
In addition to these two dresses, I saw a few pieces that I would love to add to my wardrobe. I'm a big fan of check and gingham, so the
Lydia Trousers were right up my alley! I've also seen lots of other bloggers (and Alexa herself) rocking the
Harry Blouse. It's a really cute top, though I have to say, it didn't look great on me. I'd have to make sure I cinched the waist in every time I wore it. That being said, I love the crispness of it, and the girly ruffles are a bonus as well! I've also got my eye on the
Myrtle Jumper... because who doesn't love a cozy looking jumper in a cute color that you could wear for at least three of the four seasons!
