#MonoMotelSummer

Savannah Dress - Motel £35 // Bag - LaModa £18 // Hat - H&M £7.99 // Sun Glassess - ASOS £8

Thank god after a busy 2 months of revising and stu(dying) my exams are over and I can now relax and put on pretty clothes. I'm sure anyone can agree that exam time is the worst time of the year, but that only means one thing, SUMMER is coming, which meas lots of pretty little outfits and festival season!

On the day of my last exam I received this pretty little dress from the team at MOTEL and I think you can all agree it is a perfect summer wardrobe must have. Motel's new collection is oozing the best summer style this year with lots of metallic and prints like floral and gingham which is all back in season for the weather. The print on this Savannah dress is geometric heaven for those of you who are geeks like me. It's the perfect style for summer, light and airy, with a bit of cheeky shoulder showing. 

I've styled this dress with my favourite side bag from La Moda. If you're not buying your bags from them, you are not doing it right. Their collection of bags are the trendiest around with the 'not so painful on your bank account' price. To go with the outfit, you can never go wrong with a pair of chunky boots, especially if you're short like me. Lots of cheap ones on sale at LaModa and Public Desire (my1stwish.co.uk) similar to the ones I'm wearing. Get a pair, you won't regret. Lastly to add, this gooooorgeous black straw hat was a beaut find from H&M, I was in store for less than a minute before I picked this up and I never looked back. Perfect look for summer.

Enjoy.

Biker Chic

Sunglasses - Asos £8 // Jacket - Topshop £65 // T-Shirt - Iamvibes £25 // Short - Topshop £35 // Bag - La Moda £18 // Shoes - Ebay £75

So I haven't posted in a while but I am back. It's starting to get warmer so the shorts are out. While although the British weather recently has been wonderfully bright and beautiful, it has been very breezy, and not the warm kind (I only speak for those who have the cold sea spring breeze), the jacket was a nice touch and weather suitable.

I had received a couple tees from iamVibes which I must say are very nice although these photos do not do them justice. The one I am wearing has a very nicely detailed hamsa hand as the main print. Now, I'm not usually a person to wear t-shirts but I thought this would team up nicely with a pair of shorts I had from last summer. These shorts are a bit 'bummy' for my liking but the studded detail suits this outfit all too well teamed up with my topshop leather jacket. 

Sticking with the black leather, I had a lil' easter gift package from the lovely ladies at LaModa which included this lovely back which goes perfectly with the jacket which I must add will be my new going out bag as it will pretty much go with anything. BUT HAVE YOU SEEN THE SHOES! These were a birthday gift from my parents but they are so so gorgeous. They are so nice that pretty much everywhere are selling similar style shoes. I must add though, LaModa do a pretty good bargain at £39.99 (click here) for something very similar to these.

Maxi and Mesh

Skirt - Primark £8 // Top - Badley Drawn (through Utter Couture) £45 // Coat - Mango £45 // Shoes - La Moda £18 // Bag - La Moda £20 // Chain - La Moda £10 // Sun Glasses - Fendi £115

This outfit is a carefully pieced number which would be my persona choice to wear for a nice meal out or a couple drinks out. It's sleek and shows skin in the right places. 

I am obsessed with maxi skirts, especially in the summer as a daily essential. But this skirt has hardly made it out this winter so I basically built this outfit around my skirt so I had an excuse to wear it. It's my favourite piece in my wardrobe and it's from Primark.. yes PRIMARK!! Cheap and they look good, so why not. Along with me being obsessed with maxi skirts, i LOVE mesh. This mesh crop top I have featured on my blog before but it fit perfectly with this outfit, keeping the class but showing that bit of skin.

Out of my three winter coats this year, this jacket is my favourite because it's black and goes with everything I own. It transforms any outfit to a classy outdoor outfit fit for winter. I also have a thing for long jackets which is a big trend this winter especially. The best thing is that it was on sale, love you Mango.

Obviously I have worn my new favourite heels from La Moda with this outfit. For so long I have wanted a pair of heeled sandals like this so a massive thank you to La Moda for being amazing as always! I also must credit them for this gorgeous deep purple bag, so elegant and vintage. I was in London on Saturday at the Indonesian embassy with my mother and a few other people and i made my first public appearance with this bag, I think I have fallen in love. I had also bought matching lipstick by Seventeen.

The main inspiration for this outfit comes from the style queen Rihanna. I always have my eye on her fashion. When I put this outfit together I had these two outfits RiRi has worn which have stuck in my mind. The

 shoes, the split leg, the jacket and the crop are shown by Ri are different aspects of these outfits, and cost a lot
cheaper.

Christmas Party

Dress - Motel £58 // Shoes  - La Moda £18 // Bag - Vintage Shop £3

 Christmas work party? Well, Motel is certainly the right place to look for a festive glitzy outfit to stand out on your night out. This white sequin Gabby dress that the wonderful team at Motel sent me is definitely a dress for the festive season; the whole dress just looks pretty like snow. 

I teamed this dress with a gorgeous pair of heeled sandals from my favourites at La Moda. And yes they stock shoes now, how exciting!!! A simple black pair of heels makes sure all the focus is on the dress. I have never worn a pair of heels like these before and I have always thought they would be uncomfortable but these are fit to comfort. Simple, comfortable and not to forget, elegant. 

My next choice of accessory was this cute little black sequin clutch with the chain strap. I actually found this in my mums wardrobe but my god I would not have guessed it at the price she bought it for, what a bargain!!!

Silver

Aside from gold, we have silver. Silver gives you something that gold doesn't. Silver is delicate. Silver is calm. Silver is extremely pretty. I don't tend to buy silver but when this gorgeous little package arrived from Euphoria creations, I was extremely happy.

These two necklaces are from their metal pendant collection, the silver Hamsa Hand and the silver Ohm symbol pendant. I haven't had a chance to wear them out yet because they're so delicate and pretty I wish not to ruin them and just protect them forever. But I will one day because they are too gorgeous not to show off.

Euphoria do many types of these metal pendants such as a buddha charm, pentagram symbol, yin and yang, and crucifixes etc. As well as mental pendants, they have a collection of delicately beautiful gem stone pendants which are worth taking a look at. My favourite is the wire wrapped amethyst.

Gold

My jewelry collection dominates in gold. I love gold, and i wear gold jewelry with pretty much everything I own. Here is a small collection of my gold jewelry. The best thing  about all of these is that they are all from the wonderful LaModa. LaModa are an online company who started off just selling stunning bags at good prices, which is why they attract so many customers. They have now expanded to selling jewelry, accessories and now even shoes. As this company grows, each set of stock they get becomes more and more stylish, so they are definitely one to keep an eye out. Perfect for Christmas presents for the ladies.

The rainbow set is a favourite of mine. It reminds me of sherbet and is so pretty, perfect to wear with an all crisp white outfit. The triple chain necklace and bracelet is my most worn set. I wear it with everything really, mostly an all black outfit and gives it an edgy look. I wore the big  black and gold necklace in a previous blog post and I think it's a gorgeous statement necklace definitely made to stand out. Last but not least, these beautiful earrings in the style of versace are my all time favourites. I have had them for a while now and wear them almost everytime I go out.

The quality and design of these beauties do not reflect on their prices, so I advise you to have a look at all their jewelry. Lots of new stock and affordable prices.

Winter Chic

I find winter difficult to differentiate each daily outfit. This year I have two winter coats, a grey boyfriend coat and a camel trench coat, so there was a real struggle. My prayers were answered when I found this beauty of a coat buried in my mothers wardrobe (I don't know the origin of this coat, it was bought around 20 years ago). Hounds tooth is one of my favourite black and white prints. It's so classic and vintage and it fits perfectly well with my winter wardrobe. I ventured out in town with this outfit. Ideally I would have gone all black but I had no black bottoms that weren't in the wash, but white does it justice as well I think.
