I’m not usually one to jump on celebrity fashion collaborations but when Alexa Chung teamed up with Marks and Spencer to launch Archive by Alexa earlier in the year I couldn’t help but fall in love. Generally I don’t find style inspiration by way of famous faces but there is something about Ms Chung that I make exception for. At the time I wasn’t in a position to afford any of the collection (story of my life) but when my favourite dress went down to just £6.50 in the sale a couple of months ago I was finally able to indulge my inner Alexa.

This is probably the closest I’ll ever get to trying the underwear as outerwear vibe and whenever I put this dress on I can’t help but feel I’m wearing my nightie in public but I love it regardless. I decided to put a more casual stamp on the look by pairing it with ankle boots rather than a more delicate shoe and that works for me. Just add leather jacket as a cover-up and I’d call myself good to go for any occasion.

As per usual for me I struggled massively with the lighting in the garden so you can’t especially see the little details but the dress has a delicate floral print and hangs beautifully.

Word on the grapevine is that there’s another Archive by Alexa collection coming out soon (November) and I can’t wait to see it. At least with that kind of timing I can justifiably pop a dress or two on my Christmas list…

Which celebrities style do you admire the most?
