Vintage Inspired Looks from Carousel on Xpose

We caught ourselves on camera earlier this week on Expose! – did you see us? Ilovecarousel.com made it onto the small screen with some celebrity vintage inspired ‘get the looks’.  Our style is often compared to the likes of Taylor Swift, Zooey Deschanel and Imelda May to name a few!

The two celebrities chosen were the ever chic Alexa Chung and ladylike Kate Middleton who both have very different styles but do have one thing in common and it’s a love for vintage inspired style.

Alexa – who has been a poster girl for plaid and peter pan collars since she popped up on the celeb scene was a dream to dress.  We teamed our ‘Diane’ contrast top (which has just come back in to stock in a range of colours) with our  ‘Peggy’ check skirt.  This outfit super interchangeable and trans-seasonal which is very handy considering the dodgy weather we are currently having!  Add a Jumper and brogues to this and hey presto hello Autumn!

Our second outfit based on Kate Middleton is fit for a Queen (I am sorry, I had to!)  The ‘Ava’ swallow and clouds dress is back in-stock and boasts a very flattering shape.  We are throwing back to the fifties with this shirt dress and is an absolute dream to wear.  Curvy of straight it nips in at the waist giving a sensational silhouette.

You can watch the feature here for further styling tips.

How would you describe Kate Middleton’s style?

Effortless.

Simple.

Chic.

It’s all of that and more. She has a very classic style, using her long,slim figure to her advantage with clean lines and small prints.

Kate often goes for similiar silhouettes and familiar styles. These include wrap dresses, shirt dresses, polkadots, and earthy colours.

Expose had a feature yesterday, Thursday 23rd, inspired by K-Mids looks which featured this very appropriate Circus Polka Wrap Shirt Dress (E65), available at Carousel. What I love about this is it’s easy wearability and that it goes with everything. It was accessorised with 2 bags, the Classic Shopping Bag(E39) in a beautiful berry colour and the Bowling Bag (E49). If it’s a little breezy outside you can pair it with this Annie Anchor Cardigan (E59) with tiny anchor detail or if it’s sunny then top it off with these Jackie O style Kennington  Sunglasses (E19).

Xposé comes to Carousel

It’s always exciting when Carousel gets a visit from the glamorous Xposé team from TV3, and their visit last week was no exception! They wanted to take a look at the new, vintage inspired, U.K. brand “Circus”, stocked exclusively in Ireland by Carousel! Stylist Irene put together some of her favorite looks for the piece, which you can watch here.
