Ladylike chic was across every Autumn/Winter 11 catwalk, with prim and proper hemlines, soft sheer fabrics, pleat detailing and T-Bar heels. We hit Tumblr for inspiration and shared the Motel forties picks…
Add a modern twist to the trend by teaming a crop bralette with a high waist skirt like the Shannon Skirt in Mustard or contrast with an interesting texture like the Savannah Sheer Polka Dot Dress. For day channel the star print trend too with the Bree Midi Dress in Starry Night or for night try a wine playsuit like the Claudine or wrap dress like the Nora with T-Bar heels and deep berry lips.
Mark Ronson’s new hair cut has certainly been making waves in the news today with his new platinum barnet. We all know he loves a bit of Twitter action but getting a video done documenting the whole procedure is a bit excessive even by celebs standards (see the video below!). But we do think it has a striking resemblance to our Jenna’s haircut? Mark have you had some style inspiration from somewhere?
Get this season’s festival chic look with folk inspired lace prints on body-con styles and must have graphic geometric prints to wow the crowds. Mix clashing animal prints with romantic floral for a Dolce and Gabbana inspired twist on a classic theme.
There really is no reason to not look hot in the great outdoors!

Hot off the catwalk for Spring/Summer 2010 tribal and aztec prints are creating a storm. The tribal print offers a great balance between edgy fashion and wearable practicality, and is our pick for looking holiday chic throughout the summer months. Prevalent in the Marc by Marc Jacobs show and of course Louis Vuitton, aztec looks are going to be huge and have already been spotted on the likes of fashionistas Paloma Faith and Peaches Geldof. Another appearance of tribal chic could be seen at Rodarte, where the models were painted with geometric aztec designs. Click the image above to shop aztec prints at motelrocks.com!
