Style - Bank Holiday Style


The bank holiday is here, the skies are blue, Summer is on the horizon; we've got a cocktail in hand, and not planning to move from our deck chairs.. 





and yet when the weather changes so abruptly, we've got something for every occasion, however, if you are still unsure of what to wear. When in doubt? Instagram. A quick scroll through our feeds for inspiration and we're ready to hit the park or riverside with friends or family, a picnic basket in hand and some speakers.

Bank Holiday - Movies



With another Bank Holiday on the horizon we’ve been planning things to do.  Especially for a gloomier day, or  for those days where you just want to curl up with a good film; Beauty and the beast, Hidden Figures, Trolls or Guardian of the Galaxy.
















For a great day out in London, visits the open-air screenings at the luna cinema - start from June right to October so there’s plenty of time to see something. Why not check out the Luna Cinema for listings across the UK and there are plenty of options for families too.








Another option for films and tv shows, right from your laptop is the streaming giant Netflix, launching another strong list of tv series this month, including a new season of its hit original series Orange Is the New Black.
Netflix is also adding some excellent films. you can watch Dear John. If you prefer a psychological thriller, Side Effects.




    






What ever you choose to do, have a fantastic bank holiday.

Why Madia & Matilda have an epic Sale








We are Sustainable British Fashion.


Made and created in the Cotswolds Gloucestershire, in Great Britain. At the end of each season (2 per year - being that we only design in a slow fashion manner) and for special events, Madia & Matilda has a sale. It is important to us, as an ethical fashion business, to find ways to encourage more conscious way of shopping, and supporting the work and livelihood of our producers. The Madia & Matilda sale is much more than a chance to clear out the rails, but also away of  Helping to reduce waste; plus you can always grab a great bargain, even if we do say so our selves.

Sheer is back and were all over it!




Nothing says wedding season, than a delicate lace or sheer dress, classic refined style that is timeless and needs no introduction.  





The longer the better, (like our Akeyla dress) just because it's spring does not mean we need show too much skin; even though we are losing the coat and opting for a lighter fabric.

 Paired with a necklace (Lily flo jewellery) or heels, you'll make a statement that set you apart form the crowd, with out upstaging the bride; like our Muse Bella Hadid.
