Motel 'New In' Wishlist

I have recently discovered the 'New In' section on www.motelrocks.com and oh my sweet Jesus, I am obsessed! I have always been a big fan of Motel Rocks, as they have such a wide variety of clothing, shoes, accessories, anything to feed your fashion minds; however, there range of clothing has blown my mind recently, with more patterns, colours and prints than ever! So before I ramble on even more, lets just get straight into the exciting part.. my top picks from the 'New In' section, which you all must check out - here
 
 

 
(Starting from the left)
Click on the clothing description to be taken to that exact item on the Motel Rocks website.
 
Motel Girly Skater Dress in Floral Blue White - £45 - This dress is so perfect for summer 2015, whether your having a chilled one at home, or going on a luxury holiday, you cant go wrong with a pretty floral dress. The colour palette within the floral print is stunning and something a bit different to your normal floral colours (pink, cream, red), this dress would catch a lot of attention!
 
I love this next set, however you do have to buy the two pieces separately, the two pieces are - Motel Bessie Bandeau Crop Top in X Ray Floral - £18 and the Motel Cecile High Waisted Culotte in X Ray Floral - £35 I am not normally the biggest fan of sunflower prints, but I love the edgy take on this two piece.. BLUE SUNFLOWERS! The top is great to show off your gorgeous figure, but then the skirt adds a hint of class to the outfit, I believe in the saying 'its either legs or boobs, not both', and I learnt that through my 'back in the days, fashion mistakes'; this outfit defiantly goes by that saying, by hiding the top part of the legs and working on the chest area instead. This piece is so effortless and can be thrown together in minutes, with a messy bun and minimal makeup, you will still look a million dollars!
 
Motel Arli High Waisted Flared Trousers in Root Down Rise Up - £35 - These pants are my favourite all time Motel piece, ever! I am IN LOVE with these pants and I will tell you why right now.. I hate shopping for pants, I think they hide my slim legs (sorry to sound vain) and never hug my figure in the way I want them to, therefore, I avoid shopping for pants, and due to that, own about 4 pairs of jeans and two pairs of leggings, which isn't a lot if you compare that to how many tops I have! But these pants look extremely figure hugging, and I am obsessed with how they are high waisted (always a bonus), slim around the belly, down the legs and then flare out at the bottom and I don't know why the flare trend hasn't already been re-discovered before now! If I won the lottery I would buy a pair of these for everyday of the week and wear them for the rest of my life! Enough said.
 
Motel Sun Slip Dress in Paradise Candy Pink - £35 - First of all, can we please have a moment of appreciation for the pinkness of this dress! This dress is beautiful, I love the simple slip design, but then this dramatic floral print and bold colour palette. There's so many ways you could wear this dress, you can dress it down for a casual day or dress it up for something like a wedding or summer garden party, the possibility's are endless. This dress only costs £35, but looks like its just come fresh off a runway! L-O-V-E!
 
Motel Anja Wrap Bell Sleeve Top in Ester Rust - £28 - Lastly, I found this amazing top. Again I am seeing the flared trend re-appear, but in a top version. I love a flared sleeve, especially for me, who has always been picked on for having very skinny arms, I feel a flared sleeve is the one style that helps enhance skinny arms and works well also. As for the colour and pattern, I love it! I love the wrap around effect, as it shows off your figure, as well as showing a hint of cleavage around the chest area (a bit of cleavage never hurt no one ;-)).
 
I am so impressed with the latest pieces from Motel and cannot wait for summer to come around so I can treat myself to a few goodies from there site!
 
Thank you for reading, I hope you loved my fave pieces as much as me, let me know what your faveorite Motel pieces are in the comments below..

Patricia Eve Bikini Review & Giveaway!

I have had my blog for about two years now, and I can truly say its been an amazing journey, talking to some amazing bloggers, followers and companies. And today is another milestone in my blogging journey, as today marks the day of my first ever blog giveaway!
I will be doing more giveaways this year, so follow me to keep updated with those!
 
The product I will be giving away is a beautiful bikini, from a company called Patricia Eve, you can check out the Patricia Eve website by clicking here
Anyone looking to buy from Patricia Eve can visit the website and look up what stockists are local or nearest to you.
 
The brand of this bikini is called David Swimwear and they do luxurious swimwear suitable for anyone who loves a good splash in the pool, a peaceful holiday away or just a lay on the beach to top up your tan! 
 
 
 
 
I fell in love with this two piece as soon as I opened the package up, the blue and white colours are very striking, with hints of gold dots in some areas. The bow in the middle of the bikini top adds some detail but not to much to overpower the main pattern, very pretty!
The size of this bikini is a size 12, there is no official cup size, however I would say it would fit anyone from a cup size C - D, and the pants, a size 10 - 12.
This marvellous bikini has extra padding in the bikini top (which is removable), which helps if the top is a little bit on the big side, it will fill the cup out more and also give you an enhanced cleavage (Yay).
 
 
The material of this bikini feels great and I can defiantly tell that this bikini was made with comfort in mind.
The gold fastening for the bikini top compliments the gold dots that appear on the two piece and is a lot more appealing than a plain, plastic hook fasten. The straps are adjustable, which is always a must for me when shopping for anything from bikini's to bras.
 
I was debating whether to keep this bikini for myself, as it is sooo beautiful and just my sort of style, however, I do not go abroad and cannot swim very well, therefore, I thought it would make more sense to give it over to someone who would get more use of it, as its to pretty to sit in my wardrobe gathering dust! I know its also a bit early to be giving away something that is more likely to be worn during summertime but I couldn't wait any longer, plus if anyone has a holiday coming up, this bikini would be perfect for your suitcase!
 
So, onto the exciting part, the giveaway!
 
Rules & Info:
PRIZE: The prize is the bikini from the pictures above in UK size 12 (this bikini is clean, has not been worn and has a hygiene sticker in the bottoms).

Only open to UK Residents (Sorry)
 
You must complete all 3 mandatory requirements to qualify for this competition.
 
The competition will start on the 23rd February and end on the 9th March.
 
Winner will be contacted by E-mail, so please leave your email in the rafflecopter.
 
I will announce the winner on my Twitter if the winner gives me permission to do so.
 
Other options will be available once those three requirements are complete to gain more entries.
 
Good luck everyone & please bare with me on this, its my first time using rafflecopter!
 
Have a great day.

Mallzee (The new generation of personal stylists) | Review

As my first post of October, I come to you with an AMALLZEEBALLS review on an app. It's my first time doing an app related post but I am always up for a challenge.

The fashion app I have been testing out recently is called 'Mallzee' as you may have guessed by from my hurendous 'Amallzeeballs' quote above! 

If you love to shop online, are a shopping addict like myself or just like to browse the Internet looking for clothes you can't afford (also like myself), then this is a must have app for you, yes you!

Mallzee is your very own personal stylist, as quoted from the makers of Mallzee, they say that this app is like 'a personal stylist for your pocket', and who doesn't want there own personal stylist for when your on the go, or just relaxing at home.
 
As technology is getting even more advanced, as well as becoming a massive part of our lives, it makes sense to have an online fashion app to make our shopping experience easier, faster and more tailored to our hectic lifestyles!
 
Mallzee gives you all the brands you could ever wish for under one roof/app, you just simply search for the brand you want and get shopping (as well as other features)!
 
As you can see from the screenshot below, I have already added a bunch of awesome items to my saved list to go back to whenever convenient for myself, this is just one of the useful features on this app.
 
 
I find the saved section of this app very useful, as I can see everything in one place, what price each item is, the name of the item and the brand.
 
This app also features various sections such as: settings, brand search and style feeds; which you can learn more about by downloading the app yourself and having a play around - CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD MALLZEE.
 
The layout of this app is simple, yet effective and has a very modern theme to it.
 
As Christmas is around the corner and your children, cousins, brothers and sisters all get demanding with there massive Christmas lists, so this app may just come in handy for you!
With brands to suit all the family, you will be sure to give the best Christmas presents this year, and don't worry if your on a tight budget, as when you save items to the saved box, you will be alerted when this item is on offer/sale which is great for a cheapskate like myself!
 
So, I have given this app a go and I will give it a 8/10, why don't you have a look around this app and let me know what you think of it!

Download here: MALLZEE
 
Thank you for reading & thank you to Mallzee for informing me about the new craze of Mallzee!

Pamela Mann Pearl Heart Stud Suspender tights

Are you looking for somewhere to get beautiful hosiery? Then I think I have found the perfect place. I came across a website called www.pamelamann.co.uk (click the website link to be taken to the website).
 
Pamela Mann is a hosiery heaven; simply an online shop with lots and lots of leg wear. They've got funky socks, coloured opaque tights, fashion leggings, sexy stockings and holdups, to name a few. Actually, they've got every colour, pattern and style imaginable. If you still don't believe me, take a peek at their website in the link above - there really is something for everyone! All the patterned tights are hand embellished and printed in the UK in the Hinckley factory.
 
So I wanted to get in with all the hype and try a pair out myself, which is why I am here to review a very glamorous pair of Pearl Heart Stud Suspender tights! What I thought would be a great idea was to do a look book, then you can see how I styled up these tights and hopefully I can persuade you to take a look at their website.
 
Firstly I will leave a link to the pair of tights I am wearing throughout my look book so you can purchase them for yourselves. Click HERE.
These particular tights value at £7.99 which is a bargain if you ask me, they come in one size (8-14).
 
Look 1:
 

 
These suspender tights go brilliant with any type of shorts or skirt, here I am wearing a skort which goes great with the tights as they're black with hints of red. I love skorts for summer, however I haven't seen many people in them therefore I am embarrassing them! The only problem with this outfit is that you can't see the heart studs, in fact you can only see one. This is my 'night out'  look, I added a pair of heels to dress this look up, however you could make it look more casual by pairing this outfit with some flats. This outfit actually looks a bit gothic with the dark colours and tattoo choker. If I styled this outfit with a pair of boots then this outfit would be perfect for a festival!
 
Top: New Look
Skort: Shout
Tights: Pamela Mann
Heels: Topshop
Tattoo Choker: Matalan
 
 Look 2:
 (For some reason the pattern on the skirt turned out blurry, Sorry for that)

 
Look 2 is a casual/everyday look which reminds me of an outfit I would see in the classic film 'Clueless', I love the turtle neck with the mini skirt, it adds class to the whole outfit. I prefer this look better than look 1 as you can see more detail on the tights. The metallic loafers are a great colour as they go perfect with the turtle neck. This outfit could be worn during winter or even summer if you styled the skirt and tights up with a short sleeved or sleeveless top.
 
Top: Gap
Tights: Pamela Mann
Skirt: H&M
Loafers: Dune London
 
Look 3:
 
 
 
And last by not least is look 3: The summer look! The good thing about this outfit is that you can see all the heart studs on the tights which adds a very pretty effect. Two pieces are one of my favourite trends at the moment and this little number leaves no exceptions, the light colours make the outfit perfect for summer. I was expecting the tights to not match with this outfit due to the colours being opposite to each other but it works brilliantly. I styled this outfit with ankle boots as I wanted to show that you can dress these tights with almost any footwear, as its a summer look boots may have not been the best idea HOWEVER as the tights are thin the boots wont make your feet sweat as much as they would with thick socks. I wouldn't recommend the ankle boots for a mega hot summers day such as a day at the beach, in this case I would style them with dolly shoes or espadrilles. 
 
Top and shorts: Mary Jane fashion
Tights: Pamela Mann
Ankle Boots: Matalan
 
The tights are very comfy, easy to apply and fit really well (not to tights or to baggy). I thought that the suspender looks would make these tights look a tad bit tacky but once I saw them they looked beautiful and don't look tacky at all, therefore my tip for you is don't judge before you try for yourself.
 
I hope you enjoyed looking through my look book and that I have persuaded you to take a look at these tights or any others that you fancy! If that doesn't persuade you.. its FREE UK DELIVERY! What's better than that!
 
Thank you for reading & I hope you all have a lovely week!

Sunglassjunkie.com

Afternoon ladies and gents! Just a quick shout out to the amazing people at Sunglassjunkie.com for sending me some beautiful sunnies from a competition I won on their twitter account. I got to choose any pair I wanted and I went for a lovely pair which are a very light clear pink around the frame and you could class them as being oversized, they are also available in a nude colour. I tried them on, they came in a box and then in the box the sunglasses were protected in their own fabric bag for you to keep for them to stay protected when your not wearing them and then I got two booklets about the company etc. When I tried them on they fit perfectly and are such good quality. I really like them and they will come in handy during this sunny and gorgeous weather.

Cost: £18.00
 
Here are two pictures of what they look like on:

I hope you enjoyed this post and I want to say a big thank you to the people over at sunglassjunkie.com for my lovely prize which will last me a few years atleast!

Illustrated people: PHOEBE X ILLUSTRATED

Ok guys, brace yourselves for what I'm about to show you! At the early hours of this morning Phoebe Lettice (as you must know as an ex member of Made In Chelsea) revealed her clothing collection with illustrated people and I trust me when I say it's worth looking at. Phoebe Lettice is my ultimate fashion icon with her crazy and unique dress sense ,she doesn't care about the latest trends she, she wears what she likes which is why I love her. So when I heard she was creating a clothing line I was so excited and what seemed like waiting for forever came around very quick in the end and the final results are incredible, I knew I could trust her to create some crazy ass peices and she sure did.

Phoebe took the inspiration of Kawaii fashion, lifestyle, prints and colours to create each peice and it is clearly shown throughout each garment. The prices are reasonable however some items I would argue are abit pricey for what they are but to own one of these pieces I could make the exception. 

Before I show you my faveorite pieces from the collection here is a link to the website, I hope your as impressed as me: http://www.illustratedpeople.com/phoebe

                                                                
                         

I love each peice from this collection but I especially love the long shorts which are so casual but in this case can be dressed up or down and still look good, for example you could pair it with one of her crop tops and it would add a sense of femininity to it. I absolutely adore the black two peice on the right, it reminds me of something I would see on tumblr and want but not be able to get my hands on but now I can, yay! 

I hope you like this post and that you check out Phoebe's collection and maybe even purchase something! 

Have a lovely day.

Kardashian Do's and Don'ts

We all know the Kardashians as the stylish, outgoing family that are always on top with the latest trends but sometimes they can have a few wardrobe malfunctions every now and then and here is the proof.

                                   
We all know that Kim Kardashian has the best cleavage ever, so why not express it! I have noticed Kim's 'booby' revealing outfits lately and I think she rocks them and she should embrace her figure more. The black dress with the glowing tan goes together so well! The right hand dress shows all the wrong cleavage areas, the black leather looking vest under the dress is so tight on her skin that her skin looks like it needs to breathe a little. The dress is not flattering and the humongous frill down the middle is to much. 

                     
Next we have Kourtney who I always look to as the motherly figure due to her love for her children and I believe that Kourtney rocks dresses, it suits her slim figure and she always looks elegant; however the dress on the right does not suit her figure and looks to tight on her. I normally love a crazy outfit which stands out from the crowd but this one isn't appealing to me, it looks to tight and the print looks like something off a dress you would buy from a cheap boutique. 

                      
Words cannot explain how beautiful Khloe Kardashian looks in the red velvet dress on the left, it fits her figure like a glove and enhances her best bits which is her booty! This dress makes her look so slim and the way it drapes to the floor, oh my god, to die for! However I'm not really feeling the 'don't' outfit, the bright barbie like pink is okay in small amounts but when you have a full length dress with that colour it's such a no no! I don't feel that it compliments her hourglass figure and to be honest looks cheap although it probably isn't, however the colour does suit her tanned skin I must say! 

     
Kylie Jenner! She's growing up fast and her fashion sense is changing all the time, I have really grown to like Kylie due to her style and this outfit (left) leaves no exception. Her slim figure works heavenly with this outfit, I like how she's gone sort of casual which is a good example to set for girls her age as it shows you don't always have to dress glam 24/7 (even for the red carpet) and the casual nude court heels leave an elegant look which works effortlessly with her whole outfit. Oh my goodness, the picture on the right is shocking, has she heard of bras before? As an 18 year old I would never go out the house without a bra on and as Kylie is followed a lot by paparazzi ide have thought she would want to look presentable but looks like she doesn't really care at this moment in time. The loose cropped tshirt does not go well with the no bra look, if anyone was to wear no bra I would expect them to be wearing a tight top, dress which should lift up a woman's boobies! 

      
It's simple with this do and don't outfit match, the left picture looks amazing as we all know Kendall as the teen model who has them 'to die for' long legs and these white jeans compliment her legs so much and pairing them with casual black heels adds even more height! The very glamorous cropped top shows off her amazing stomach leaving a lot of people jelouse, and it's nice to see Kendall dressing more funky as I normally see her in jeans and a plain tee a lot of the time. This outfit (right) is hideous I have to say! The baggy leather look/sequin looking pants hide her beautiful legs and the fact they are short around the ankle also do not flatter her. The jacket is ok, however with this outfit I would have dressed up abit more when it came to choosing a jacket/coat/cardigan.

     
Mummy of the family, Kris! I am use to spotting Kris in an all black dress, suit, leather jacket but it's nice to see her showing some colour! The blue dress is flawless, her figure is absolutely incredible to say she's had six children and this dress enhances her figure which she should be so proud of, I hope I have a figure like hers when I'm her age! Now I did say it was good to see Kris showing colour in her outfits but may she have gone abit over the top with the pink in the right hand picture, it's weird enough seeing Kris in pink as it's very rare but this outfit (dress and cardigan) looks to vintage and not in a good way! Maybe if she had more of a tan in this picture the pink would go better but it's really not working for me.

     
We all know Robert Kardshian has gained a lot of weight recently but I really believe that he looks fine, his dress sense suits his weight and as much as being overweight can be unhealthy it shouldn't matter what size you are, there are so many people in the world who gain a lot of weight fast but we don't see  it happen and because Rob is always in the public eye people are thinking its bad just because they have seen it occur over this amount of time, his weight gain has made him look more of a man especially in the face. Anyway onto the fashion part, I chose this 'do' outfit because lately I've seen Rob in a lot of casual clothes and this outfit suits him, as much as it's not fancy or anything special with the weight he is it looks kind of cool. The picture of the right does not do Rob any favours, the tshirt is fine however the (what looks like) work out gear looks a little to feminine especially with the tight Lycra leggings (if that's what they are)

This post was to mainly prove that even though the Kardashians are known as being famous and glamourous they can have there wardrobe malfunctions just like everyone else. No one is perfect.

Fashion Icon Friday | Phoebe Lettice

Today's post is dedicated to the most fabulous woman on television, The one and only Phoebe Lettice.  For those who don't know her she is an ex cast member from the British programme Made In Chelsea and her fashion sense and attitude is incredible.

The main reason I chose her as my fashion icon is because of her unique look which I admire as there's a lot of girls out there who only dress as others dress so they don't stand out which at one time was me, however discovering my passion for fashion I realised that it shouldn't matter how you dress to others as your the one wearing the clothes not them, it takes balls to dress how you want to. 
Phoebe Lettice dresses completely for herself and doesn't care how others look at her as long as she's happy. 

The amazing thing is that she is rumoured to be looking into making her own clothes range for topshop   which would make me very happy! 

This was a short post so here is a few pictures of her to show you how unique she really is.

River Island Sale Find!

Hey girls.
Today was a lovely day, me and my friends decided to go and try out the new American diner. It was the absolute BOMB! Anyyyyyyyway.. We went for a looks around some shops afterwards and I promised myself I wouldn't buy anything, but we all know that never happens, however I only spent £7 after my meal which was okay I guess. I went into River Island with the intention of just looking rather than buying but when I came across this purse IN THE SALE I couldn't leave without it. I don't tend to buy purses a lot as there always boring colours and patterns but when I saw this purse I knew it was there waiting for me! Soooo here's a picture, tell me what you think..

                              

The picture isn't the best and the flash makes all the marks show up when I say marks I mean that this
 sort of material is one that gets scratch marks on easily and especially with the hologram style it makes it easy to leave marks. The purse already had a few dints in it, hence why it was on sale but it wasn't marked a lot. I love the hologram effect and it's taken me ages to find anything with the hologram style on. This purse was £7 which I thought was extremely cheap for RI. 

Here's what the inside looks like..
                            
This picture is better, I love the idea of having my own style instead of following a trend as the world would be boring if we all dressed the same and had similar styles, this is what I thought about when I saw this purse, it's so unique and different therefore it's mine. 

Does anyone else own any hologram bags/purses send me pictures! I'm intrieged.

Thick eyebrows!

Hello girlies!
                      If you didn't know I am a big fan of thick, bushy eyebrows, Im so much of a fan that last year (2013) I decided to grow my eyebrows out completley and now my eyebrows are quite thick! I obviously pluck any loose hairs so I don't end up with a monobrow (that would be embarassing). So to show my love for big eyebrows I will show you some pictures which amaze me! I also love the way models get their eyebrows done for runways or photoshoots; adding on things such as studds, glitter, multiple colours etc.

One of my faveorite models ever is the incredible Cara Delevingne, her eyebrows always seem to amaze me and she always looks simply flawless.



 
 
Now for wacky yet amazing eyebrows..
 


 

 
For me catwalks/runway shows are all about showing off your creative designs and why not dress up the face as well as the body. The wackier the better for me as it shows your full of ideas and not affraid to push the boundaries of what beauty is.

Amelia-May midi ring review

                         
Amelia-May is a website in which they sell accessories, they sell a variety of midi/knuckle rings which are so pretty and afordable. The ring I have in this picture costs only £9.50. All there jewelry is hand made which makes every peice even more special. At the moment they are having a 30% off deal if you are interested you need to enter the code sale30 at the checkout which makes this ring even cheaper and you will also get free delivery if you spend £20. 

This ring is called the Silver Mini Ankh Knuckle ring with stone, it is also available in gold which is also a lovely colour. 
So what's my opinion on this ring?
This is my first time I've ever received a product from Amelia-May and I can defiantly say that I may be purchasing more rings from them in the future and I also want to try out their earrings. There are so many rings from their site that interest me and suit my style, below I will add some pictures of some of my other faveorite rings. The ring in the photo on the website looked a lot bigger than it does once you see it for real which I am pleased with as with knuckle rings I like them to be small and not chunky. I got the size small, the smallest size fits on my finger perfect so I would advise anyone with skinny fingers to go for small when purchasing this ring. Overall I am very impressed with this ring and would recommend this website to anyone who loves handmade jewelry. 

Here are a few of my other faveorite items from Amelia-May:
