Ashley Madekwe's Overalls Are Totally Shoppable

Ashley Madekwe never ceases to deliver on-trend looks.

Ashley Madekwe never ceases to deliver on-trend looks. At last night's BAFTA event at Topshop in LA, the actress took the overalls comeback for a real-world test drive in Topshop's checkered jumpsuit ($110). Her expert styling skills relied on a chic pair of black ankle-strap sandals, a black clutch, a gold necklace, and a simple gold bangle to dress it up, albeit with a minimalist twist. If you're looking for the most polished play on overalls, score Ashley's exact jumpsuit — and style it up or down. Want to know how? Just refer to our simple tips below:

  • For a casual daytime look, sport Ashley's jumpsuit with a tee, denim jacket, and flat sandals. Throw on a baseball cap for a sporty edge.
  • Follow Ashley's lead for evening and dress it up with ankle-strap heels. Add a sharp blazer and a statement necklace to polish it off.

Overalls Are Making a Major Comeback — Are You Into Them?

Remember the days when you were just a wee kid sporting a pair of OshKosh B'gosh denim overalls?

Remember the days when you were just a wee kid sporting a pair of OshKosh B'gosh denim overalls? Well, now is your chance to relive the sweet past, thanks to everyone's recent obsession with the throwback trend. As of late, we spotted a number of celebrities donning the look: Alessandra Ambrosio paired hers with a printed tank, Ray-Ban shades, and wooden flatforms, and Selena Gomez opted for a slightly sexier look by styling her denim number with a lacy bandeau and metallic flats. Meanwhile, Rachel Bilson showed off her vacation style in a shorts rendition. Personally, we love this casual cool take on Summer dressing, but not everyone is convinced. Tell us: are you into the overall comeback or do you think it's best left in the past? Vote below!

Heidi Klum Has Pregnant Women Covering Up in Overalls

The overall is moving off the farm and into pregnant women's wardrobes this Fall.

The overall is moving off the farm and into pregnant women's wardrobes this Fall. When Heidi Klum introduces the Fall collection of her Loved by Heidi Klum line for Motherhood Maternity next month, one of the key pieces she'll be featuring is a traditional pair of overalls ($45) with extra space for a growing belly. The denim option eliminates the need for uncomfortable elastic bands across the stomach and keeps clothes neat, but is it practical for an expectant mama who is heading to the bathroom every few minutes?

One piece maternity outfits have been making a splash over the past few seasons with Alicia Keys sporting a romper while performing on live television and both bodysuits and jumpsuits popping up in maternity stores. We've rounded up some one-piece outfits below. Take a look and let us know what you think of this growing trend.

Trend Alert: Dungarees

I admit, dungarees aren't for everyone, but if there's an inner Laura Ashley hiding inside of you, now is the time to release her.

I admit, dungarees aren't for everyone, but if there's an inner Laura Ashley hiding inside of you, now is the time to release her. Personally, I kinda love this kickback style. While Ralph Lauren paired his denim overalls with gold peep-toe heels for his Spring collection, I prefer mine with some fun flats. Retailers offer a range of styles varying from slim-fitting to baggier cuts. Glad I kept my pair from the '90s . . .

Fab Finding Follow-Up: Painting Party

Painting walls is never fun when done alone, so last weekend I tricked my friends into helping me paint my dining room.

Painting walls is never fun when done alone, so last weekend I tricked my friends into helping me paint my dining room. I held a painting party filled with bubbly and brushes, and yes, it was messy.

I started you off with these Minnetonka Suede Moccasins ($38) because they kept my toes cushioned and happy as I painted the day away. I asked you to help me find a cute, paint-friendly outfit, so let's see what you came up with!


Look # 1, created by maria212134, is perfect for my painting theme. The overalls remind me of a painter's uniform — great choice!

Jumper. Romper. Onesie. Overalls. All routes go to 21 Jumpstreet. Some may be wary, some may be giddy for this trend that surfaced last Spring, but is in full effect now. Whether you choose to wear one in a more-relaxed fashion or go glam, it's a fashion risk I encourage you to take. Trendy? Maybe. But who can deny the timeless allure of a denim jumpsuit? So '70s, so chic, so fun!
