Here at Motel we love style blogger Luanna from LE HAPPY‘s Motel mixes. The fiery haired beauty pairs bad-girl leather with statement prints for a feminine but grunge inspired look.

She has paired our Christine PU Leather Mini Skirt with a statement tee and even more leather to edge up the outfit. Get this look by adding our Oversized Hand of Rock Print Tee underneath the Suzie Q Moto Jacket and add some chunky DM’s for a grunged up vibe.

We’re crazy about seeing our clothes being worn in different ways! Luanna proves how versatile our skirt is by pairing it with a feminine blouse and chunky knit to soften the look. Grab her style by pairing this skirt with the Cello Sleeveless Dip Hem Shirt and the Lumberjack Cardigan. Beautiful and monochrome, what’s not to love?!

Acid wash denim is still a trend not to be missed, and Luanna pairs her Demi Dungaree Playsuit with a statement tee and flat peak cap for an androgynous style. Luanna is featured in this months Bloggers in Motel so why not check it out and shop her look!

Keep it up Luanna!

Spring fever is approaching and our favourite fashion bloggers are getting into the spirit with their sweetest monochrome looks! They style the graphic, two-tone black & white prints with a splash of fun, giving us a chuckle for the season ahead…

Pastel haired blogger Amy Valentine mixes cheeky accessories with her Penny Dress for a pop art vibe! The sweet babydoll dress has an on-trend skater skirt and reveals a leather-look zipper at the back too, adding another key SS13 trend feature. Amy teams her with lustful Jeffrey Campbell Damzel Boots too, mixing in some attitude with those deadly spikes!

Author and fashion blogger Natasha couldn’t get any cuter in our Bonnie Top complete with sequin love hearts! She adds fresh pastel jeans and throws over the white Foxy Leather-look Studded Jacket to keep away any chills and add texture. A look sure to make the boys wink!

And blogger Gabriela reminds us all to smile even if the snow keeps falling, as she wear the bold Jordan Jean in Black and White Stripe, as recently sported by Miley Cyrus, Jessie J and Frankie Sandford! There is no bigger trend than minimalistic stripes this season so add a cheeky grin to perk up the ’60s mod vibes, or try a colour-pop accessory! Are you excited for spring too?

As Team Motel hit the streets for London Fashion Week, amongst the fashion whirlwind we managed to spot some of our favourite fashion and beauty bloggers who were also out and about at Somerset House ! We love reading fashion blogs here at Motel so it was great to catch up and take a few snaps with the stylish ladies behind them!

We had a fab chat with Sammi from Beauty Crush, Shirley from Meek-n-Mild and Kavita from She Wears Fashion after the Felder Felder show. We love how these fashionable ladies were all embracing  this season’s key monochrome trend and a pop of colour with either a bright dash of lippy or neon accessories!

Working our Motel tote bag and looking super chic with her round sunnies and envelope clutch was Lily from LLYMRS who we just managed to catch in-between shows!

Also rocking the round sunnies was Riya Aris from MissRyaAris. Her embellished black midi skirt, snakeskin clutch and military denim jacket definitely gave us a bit of fashion inspiration!

Stella from Stella’s wardrobe brought a hint of summer to the cobbled streets wearing pinky ice cream pastels with a flash of metallic and her signature bold eye liner look.

We also met the lovely Andy from Style Scrapbook who happily chatted away and posed for everyone. She looked fab also donning a flourescent beanie to brighten up a clean lined monochrome outfit.

Teaming studs, a high collared shirt, embroidery, creepers and geek glasses on paper sounds like a crazy combo, but Zoe from The London Lipgloss managed to somehow effortlessly pull this look off as we spotted her outside the exhibition rooms.

Also spotted out and about street style snapping was Olivia from What Olivia Did who looked as gorgeous as always in a colourful print jacket, wide-brimmed hat and chunky shoe boots.

Some of our favourite bloggers have been proving this week that sequins are for life and not just for Christmas! The sequin trend looks set to continue throughout 2013 and bloggers such as Anouska Proetta Brandon and Duoch Jag showed off their Gabby Sequin Dresses in iridescent green, whilst others like Chloe Ting chose to show off their sequins in Spandangle Shorts, perfect if you want to add just a touch of sparkle to your outfit. These iridescent beauties come in both Green and Purple so they add new textures to your wardrobe with a hint of bling. Team with a pair of tights and heels and a flick of black eyeliner for the perfect party look – you can’t get more glamourous than this!
