Urban Must-Chav

I credit Rihanna for finding love in a hopeless place (that place being a Belfast Council Estate) and taking uber-bling accessorising from Chav to Chic. Key to nailing this urban trend is blinging up your oversized denim jacket and leather baseball cap with layered chunky rings; bangles and heavy chains. Whilst more is definitely more when it comes to accessorising this look, be sure to keep the rest of the outfit laid-back hipster chic, allowing your bling and optional spiked booties do the talking.

Proud To Admit It

I discovered today via Twitter that Oliver Proudlock- the unquestionably best looking and standalone hipster of the Made in Chelsea crew- has his own "What I Wore Today'' style blog. A rare hobby for a heterosexual male- albeit a skinny jean wearing one- I logged on, admittedly for a bit of a laugh more than anything else. I was surprised to uncover what I would describe as one of the best styled menswear collections I've seen in a long time. Set against a blank wall with no wordy descriptions or titles and with a layout as simplistic as The Satorialist, this daily outfit update is an inspiring fashion outlet for men and women alike. Helped by Proudlock's model-esque looks, the outfits range from preppy turned up jeans with boat shoes to hipster button-downs and military boots, as well as a questionable leopard print fedora featuring in today's post. Check out Proudlock's outfit choices at www.proudlockstyle.com
