I’ve teamed up with one of my favourite brands Dr Martens to run a style competition celebrating INDIVIDUAL STYLE UNITED SPIRIT. I’m representing the heels range, which actually I’ve never gone for before now, but I’m loving these slip on loafers! The slimline leather tote has been used every day since I got it too, it’s perfect for fitting in an extra jacket, notebooks and even ferrying half made garments to and from the studios!

To enter the competition all you have to do is post a photograph of yourself in your ‘Dr Martens style’ to twitter or instagram, making sure you @charliemay and @drmartens #FIRSTANDFOREVER. I will be choosing the winner, so feel free to butter me up all you like!

The winner will receive £500 to spend on DrMartens.com and an all expenses paid trip to the original factory with me on the 8th October!  

I’m really looking forward to seeing all your outfits; I’ll be picking the winner on September 10th, good luck everyone! 

How much of a serious girl crush does everyone have on Alice Dellal? Such a perfect face for Dr Marten!

MUTED PALETTE

Wearing: Vintage trench from Rokit, Ann Demeulemeester jacket and shoes, Charlie May shirt, Acne trousers, Moxham taba bracelet, Alexander Wang bag, Dior sunglasses

So in love with these thick wool Acne trousers I picked up at the last sample sale, I don’t think I’ve had the chance to put them on the blog and LFW seemed like the perfect time. LFW has been totally distorted for me this year, struggling between going to the shows as usual or staying in bed and recovering from the presentation that happened on Saturday, I think I opted for the last option on most days and it will probably get more and more that way each season. But that’s ok as my brand is so much more exciting! 

Thanks to Jen for the snaps

ART DECO

I couple of months ago I was invited to the Arcadia headquarters to meet the winner of the Dorothy Perkins print design award, Charis Younger. Charis designed a beautiful art deco feather print in different sizes and colours to accompany her high summer collection, for the Dorothy Perkins consumer. I always think it’s amazing for any brand to put out competitions giving students a chance to gain real experience and contacts in the industry. Charis is obviously very talented and I had so much fun chatting away with her and Rachel from DP. My favourite piece from the collection is the jumper of course, feels a bit Balenciaga to me. Thank you both for having me!

The mini collection is available to buy online and in selected stores now. 
PS – How beautiful are Rachel’s shoes that she scored at the Topshop sample sale for £5?!
