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

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..

 

 

 

 

I HAVE DEPOP!!!!

Wow, its been a week or two since I've blogged and I feel so guilty, but here I am to make it up to you with a positive blog post.

I heard about the buzz of an app called 'Depop', where you sell items and people can make an instant payment using PayPal, sounded like a great idea, but the thought of it sounding familiar to eBay didn't really sell the app to me. eBay to me is a bit slow, sometimes you don't get any interest in your items and its just not my cup of internet-tea. Depop I must say is my new found love, its a god send to people with a wardrobe full of stuff they never use or wear. Its a fast app which allows people to buy from you in the click of a button, all the information is sent to you correctly and its 100% safe.

For the month of August depop have decided to do a 'no depop fee' month, so get selling your stuff before the offer ends. You will never be charged for listing your items, when you sell an item depop will take 10% commission from your final sale, which is not a lot, and they will also take a small depop fee from you, however if you do not sell the item you can delete it/keep it on and you will not be charged (unless you make a sale with the item).

 

I have been on depop 3 days and already sold two items making me a very happy girl and making someone else a very happy girl. All the buyers and sellers are very friendly, except from the odd person I have had be mean to me, but you will get that anywhere. Its so easy to add items onto your account and is fun to do! You can choose from different filters to jazz up your pictures or you can go natural and add no filter, opinions are endless. So if you have a room full of things you need quick rid of, then stick them on depop and watch the money fall into your PayPal account very quickly. I know I cant say much as I have only sold two items but there has been a lot of interest on my other items so I look forward to selling more.

 

So follow me and I will follow back: oliviacathx

Like to have a look at what depop has to offer, then click HERE ,get the app and start selling or buying.

 

I hope you join depop soon, thanks for reading.

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.
