Carey Mulligan

This week’s Style Crush is the ever lovely Carey Mulligan! 

Carey’s blossomed from a relative unknown to ‘’the new Audrey Hepburn’’ of Hollywood.

With films like An Education, Pride & Prejudice and Shame under her belt and with the most recent, the ever fashionable Daisy Buchanan in Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby, she has become a rising star and likely to gain more accolades for her roles.

On to her style, Carrey combines boho-chic and mod, not necessarily at the same time.

Loose fitting clothes, pixie haircut, jackets, suit pants and ballet shoes are almost a permanent companion to her looks.

Here are some of her best moments.

Items:  Darkgreen Pleated Maxi Skirt,  Long vest top,  Ankle boots,  Ray-Ban 'Clubmaster' 51mm Sunglasses,  Nica Nikki Tote Bag, Tan

A simple Spring/Summer look in earth tones that fit every skin tone.

Although maxi skirts seem difficult if you have not got the perfect figure (and who does?), don’t panic!

If you are a tall woman, like Mulligan (she stands at 170cm!), then you’re good to go with a pair of flats.

If you’re shorter, then heeled boots will do the trick for you and nobody has to know.

If you want some added curves to your body, pleats are the way to go. If you want a more slimming effect, choose one with a more straight

Items: 

JIL SANDER NAVY - Wool Textured Pullover,  

Imitation leather joggers,  

Easy Edge Flat in Black,  

Ted Baker Nola Oversize Sunglasses

An easy look for all times; Carey chooses a grey and black colour-block sweater, giving a graphic element to the look.

Paired with pointy flats it makes the outfit ever more interesting.

Items:  BLACK COLOUR BLOCK LEATHER BIKER JACKET,  Superstretch trousers,  ASOS LILY PAD Ballet Flats,  Dark Red Dip Hem Short Sleeve Top

More colour block elements from Carey; this time a biker jacket. Make sure you keep everything else monochromatic or close to the colours of your jacket.
