Motel Rocks 'New In' Favourites

Motel Rocks have some amazing new stuff in at the minute. Below are a few pieces that have really taken my fancy. 
I love the way they take the same printed fabrics and make different garments from them.

Especially these leggings, great to mix and match with a printed top for a casual summers day.





 This fiji print is lovely, especially on the bodycon dress, definitely tempted to buy for a night out!



I'd heard of boyfriend jeans, but not boyfriend shorts! I'm probably behind the times, anywhoo, I love the vintage inspired Hawaiian style print with added belt, great to get your knees out!


 Statement jeans are a bold addition to this seasons wardrobe, the striped ones would elongate the pegs, (not so great for me) and the pineapple ones are just fun!



Finally, I love this whole outfit, I bought a cropped tied top for a festival last year, I'm glad to see their still around, making a core piece to match with colourful shorts or a skirt.


 Well done Motel Rocks, I'm impressed, if only I could afford any of this!

Office Girl

 For the past three weeks I have been doing a bit of work experience in a couple of offices. I don't have a very smart wardrobe so when I found out the dress code was 'smart-casual' I hit a bit of a dilemma. Despite my lack of pencil skirts and fitted suits in my closet, I do have a good selection of blazers. Whilst putting outfits together I realised how easy it is to smarten up a look with the add of a blazer. Below are a few pictures (rubbish Photo Booth quality) of some of my office looks with three different blazers from my wardrobe. I actually got snapped in the top one for a street style blogger so I'm guessing the look worked!

 I teamed my shiny black Topshop Skinnies with a Blanco printed top and my black blazer.
 I chose coloured burgundy Topshop jeans with a simple black top and my cotton pink blazer.
 Finally, I put my blue H and M jeans with a navy top with my tweed H and M blazer.
 Simple Black 
 Drape Pale Cotton
Dashing Tweed

I created this mood board (below) on the Polyvore website to highlight a few of my favourite blazers of the season. I went for the two biggest shades that are trending, Bold & Pastels with a mixture of stand out tones from each.
 Topshop, Zara and H and M all have a great selection all at good value so even if your not strutting round the office photocopying things, I think a blazer is a must have for this spring/summer. Its easy to co ordinate and it's something light to slip over any outfit. Office Girl
