We got the style gospel according to 30 Days of Fashion and Beauty face Alexa Chung.

At this morning's media call to kick off the month-long celebrations, the Chanel-clad Ms Chung named as her top five style staples. Here are the absolute essentials from her impressive wardrobe she couldn't live without.

1. Chanel 2.55 bag
Ah, she might have her own best-selling Mulberry satchel named after her but her heart still belongs to Coco.

2. Jean shorts
Where would a festival-loving girl like Alexa be without her trusty cut-off denim shorts? Especially when you have those killer pins to show off.

3. Loafers
Rarely in heels, Alexa named this man-style shoe as her ultimate favourite, illustrating her point by donning a pair of lovely Chanel brogues today.

4. Burberry trench
This style classic is serving her well. Alexa wears her classic tan coat almost every day.

5. Silver mini dress
Okay, so this is her imaginary new fav as she is yet to own it but may we suggest she looks at Aussie designers Camilla and Marc's silver dress? It would look lovely.
