London Fashion Week SS12 Street Style: Motel Pick

September 20th, 2011 — 11:07am

We bumped into stunning Reena of the blog Fashion Daydreams at London Fashion Week wearing our beautiful Cillia Dress! Reena looked simply amazing in the black and nude dress with unique tattoo lace and sheer back. Contrast with patterned tights like Reena and team with lace up heels and lots of jewellery for the chicest look on the front row.

Trend Watch: Textured Lace

September 13th, 2011 — 2:54pm

Louis Vuitton loved lace for AW11 and it is a key trend at Motel this season. Our tattoo print lace is beautifully detailed with polka dots and paisley swirls, and the crochet lace shows subtle skin flashes through sleeves. Lace inserts set off bodycon dresses and a red or nude base adds a sultry effect. Here is some lace inspiration from Tumblr and our top lace pieces.

Trend Watch: Soft Tailoring

September 7th, 2011 — 11:03am

As we say goodbye to summer, we are gearing up for the new season of school, college and work in style. Being smart but still on-trend is a top priority! We’re looking to sheer shirts, smart tailoring and high waist trousers to update our wardrobes. These stylish girls from Tumblr have tied chiffon shirts over maxi dresses and teamed tailored trousers with sheer tops. The Laurel Tartan Chiffon Shirt is perfect to update summer dresses and the Daisy Trousers smarten up patterned tees.

Super sweet blogger Carrie of WishWishWish wore the Gemma Dress in Denim to visit the beautiful Kilver Court Gardens in Somerset! The vintage style dress has an amazing 50′s fit with unique cut-out back detailing, and the white piping and soft denim make it the perfect day dress! Team with hair braids and a leather jacket like Carrie to contrast feminine and punky styles.

GUEST POST: Beauty Crush Loves

September 6th, 2011 — 11:21am

The fashion and YouTube guru Sammi of Beauty Crush has picked out her top pieces from her Exclusive Blogger Curated Shop at Motel Rocks! Here she shares her new season picks with you…

Motel Rocks Beauty Crush Sammi Fashion Blog Exclusive Shop

Hello everyone!

I thought it might be interesting to share with you some pieces from my Motel Shop, which could help transform your wardrobe from summer to autumn! Sometimes you feel like you need to change all your pieces but a few key items can be all you need to stay on-trend and stylish!

Motel Rocks Mabel Sheer Sweater in Black

Motel Mabel Sheer Sweater in Black

This sweater is on-trend because it is so sheer, plus it can keep you warm! You could wear it on its own, put a jacket over it, or put it over a shirt or with a maxi/midi skirt. You can layer with it because of its thickness.

Motel Rocks Skinny Jordan Jean in Sapphire Blue

Jeans are always a hit. This pair in sapphire are even more statement but not too much of a crazy colour, so good if you don’t feel too comfortable wearing them in colours like red. Pair with a band tee, a jumper or a crop top (with a jacket over as its getting cold!). They are also super-comfy.

Motel Rocks Gypsy Playsuit in Black

Motel Gypsy Playsuit in Black

You may call me crazy for choosing something so short, but pair this playsuit with thick cosy tights, pop a chunky cardigan or blazer over and you’ve got yourself an autumn look! Playsuits are so versatile and you can get wear out of this all year round. You could even wear a jumper over this! Its one of my favourite pieces because I love layering, which is something which is a must here in the UK!

I hope you liked my ideas on some pieces you could incorporate into your autumn wardrobe, I do hope it gave you some inspiration! The trick to autumn fashion is layering because the weather can be very erratic! Wishing you a great September, lets just hope it doesn’t get to cold, too fast!
