Melanie teams her dress with Kurt Geiger boots, Topshop tights, Swarovski rings, red lipstick by Mac (she's been wearing it since she was 16-years-old) and Master Plan nail polish by Essie.

"I think my look is urban shabby chic. I like rustic mixed with a touch of city girl and I love to showcase new designers when I can.

"My hair is my thing, I change it every few months and have literally been every shade: platinum, purple, pink, lavender, black, crimson and now dark brown. "
