Blogger Extraordinaire

  

It’s not often a blogger gets the chance to blog about another blogger- Crossblogging maybe? Melanie McDowall is the winner of the Castletown Connexion fashion blog competition and affectionately known by her friends as the fabulous fashion guru. Melanie’s launch into the blogging world was only a recent introduction, with encouragement from her girlfriends’ she didn’t hesitate utilising her expertise and quickly compiled the essential blog profile. Not wasting any time Melanie got down to the business of blogging with one of her first posts dicussing Pastels, which happened to be influenced by a previous Petticoat Lane post critiquing Melanie’s gorgeous winter style.

Petticoat Lane first had the pleasure of meeting Miss McDowall through judging the hectic catwalk at a local modelling competition, Fashion Bash. Winning her fashion section it was clear even then Melanie had a sharp sartorial eye for fashion. Describing her style as “Modern and chic” Melanie gains her inspiration from Vogue, Runway and Grazia magazines explaining “I don’t have a particular person who I emulate, I  like to mix a variety of styles and make them my own” adding "I do love Blake Lively’s approach though, it’s always classy”.

Melanie now has her own dedicated page which also consists of video blogging. She will also make the cover of Castletowns in house magazine Style your Life next month which will contain her very own editorial section.

Melanies favourite colour is purple. She loves the edge the black vest gives the gathered block colour cocktail dress with detailed fringing to the back.

Vintage! this 1970's zesty summer dress was found in a local op shop. Just a little imagination and tweaking Melanie created a stunning one of a kind dress.

This amazing dress is one of Melanies favourites. The colour pops! This hot little number was found online at ASOS. The cape and flower details makes this a show stopper.

Clean crisp white T is casual fun with a sequin detail collar which is influenced from the crochet styles of the 1800's.
