Following on from my last post on Masculine styling, I came across this amazing online shop called Zalando. They sell loads of really pretty vintage-esque dresses, my favourites being the Mint & Berry ones. Here are a few of my favourites, one is practically the same as the lovely Marc Jacobs dress she wore! The best bit, is that they all have amazing collars, especially the lace one!

They're all amazing, and they have lots of more dresses on there too, French Connection, converse, and this pair of Doc Martens which I've wanted for so long, I couldn't find the minty green ones anywhere in my size!Lots of the things they've got on there are really similar to what Alexa wears, check out her style file on Vogue. Pretty random post, but I just wanted to show you all those lovely dresses, I can't find them anywhere else online! So tempted to buy the floral lace one.. or the long sleeved nude one. Which do you prefer?
Who doesn't love brogues, peter pan collars, tailored shorts and satchels? I'm certainly a massive fan of brogues, I own far too many it's getting a little bit ridiculous. Mulberry, the revival of the satchel have taken storm, and added a feminine twist with pink leopard prints. Not to mention them being named after style icon Alexa Chung, the queen of boy-meets-girl style who embraces the trend beautifully. Labels: Alexa Chung, Marc Jacobs, Masculine, Topshop, Trend
The best place to look for shirts and blazers is in charity shops at vintage fairs. You can pick up old mens shirts which are quite vile, but mixed with a nice belt and some red lipstick, for about £5, just like the shirt below in one of my old posts.What do you think of the masculine trend? Do or don't?
