2. PVC fur bag | MOTEL £40

4. Mulder Platforms | Jeffrey Campbell via NastyGal £108.06 

5. Ring | Pandora via The Jewel Hut £100

  

The little black bottle I hear you ask? This is Freixenet’s sparkling wine range and I've been set the challenge of styling up this little black bottle! And what a beautiful bottle it is too. Imagine a few bottles of this lying around on your Christmas table! 

I first heard of Freixenet just a couple of weeks ago when they kindly sponsored the Motel Rocks blogger party in London, the bubbles were flowing throughout the night and I absolutely loved the champagne cocktails that were available! I was totally amazed when I Googled the price of this bottle to find it is priced under £10! It looks so expensive and elegant, never mind tastes amazing!

I've dressed this bottle as if I were dressing up a 'little black dress'... I absolutely love these Mulder platforms by Jeffrey Campbell, they are so amazing and would definitely add statement to any outfit, and of course you can't wear the perfect LBD without a statement heel! The tailored style coloured coats are a total must have this season, so I couldn't dress up Freixenet’s 'little black bottle' without one, plus this one is super cute! I’m also in love with this Pandora ring, it is admittedly a little expensive but this is a wish list after all! Lastly, but certainly not least, this amazingly cute bag from Motel is another statement piece, combining my two favourites for this season… faux fur and PVC, it’s a must have.

What would you dress your 'little black bottle' in? And will you be showing off some of Frexinets sparkling wine on your Christmas table? I cannot wait to add some to mine!

#MotelRocksTheParty!

So, hands down MotelRocks host the most creative blogger parties of all time! Their events are always held in swanky London hotspots- this time round I was excited to see the event would be held in INK nightclub, owned by Professor Green!  This event showed us amazing work from live graffiti artists, hair stylists and nail artists! On top of this we were spoilt for choice with mini street foods, such a mini hotdogs (my ultimate fave by the way!), and mini portions of chips, as well as YooMoo frozen yogurts which were just so a-mazing! The champagne was most definitely flowing and there were plenty of familiar faces to see throughout the night! My favourite part of the night was the Instagram photo printer… by just uploading your live photo to Instagram or Twitter using the #MotelRocksTheParty your photo would instantly appear on the screen and you could print off as many copies as you liked, they then popped out in the cutest Polaroid form with the # and your Instagram name- amazing, I know!

Now, onto the party wear collection! Amazing, as always… I particularly loved the PVC pieces and the new prints were to die for! PVC is my favourite at the moment, although being a poor student means I have yet to invest in any pieces, but looking at it on other bloggers is enough for me for the time being! The collection oozed party season vibes! It’s undeniable you will be spoilt for choice when choosing your perfect party outfit! Another one of my favourite pieces from the collection was the bomber jacket in pink, they are around everywhere at the moment but the quilted version by Motel was just so perfect! Definitely keep your eyes peeled for that if you’re thinking on trend bomber jackets this season.

What do you think of Motels new party pieces?

When I saw this MOTEL ROCKS task appear in my inbox I was so excited to get stuck into it! I'm an aspiring stylist so this task was perfect for me and the rewards for the winner are amazing. For this part of the task I have designed my perfect ‘Spring Look’. So this is what I picked and I would 100% wear everything from the outfit I’ve chosen, as it’s totally me (if only I had the funds).

I can imagine this being the perfect outfit for them warmer spring days (if they ever come). Denim dresses are very popular at the moment and this one is perfect with short sleeves, I'm more comfortable in things with sleeves rather than sleeveless! The dress paired with cherry red Dr. Martens and satchel will also look beautiful, imagine wearing this to a festival or a day date with friends, just amazing, I really love this outfit. Can I also add… how brilliant are these sunglasses?! I saw them when they were first new to the Motel site and I fell straight into love with them, so vintage.

WINTER WISH LIST #1

Wool Coat-Topshop £80 | Fur Collar- H&M £12.99 | Cross Earrings- River Island £6 | HighWaist Trousers- MotelRocks £42 | Knitted Camel Jumper- Romwe £49.68 | Sheer Skirt-Topshop £70 | Chain Bag- Zara £25.99 | Platform Sandals- Topshop £85 | Spike Necklace- Topshop £45 | Blouse- H&M £29.99

1. This coat is from Topshop, and I really do love this! The contrasting leather sleeve effect has got to be one of my favourite designs this winter; it is so effective and can make the simplest outfit look detailed! With this coat you also have contrasting leather pockets- extra bonus for sure! The oversized pockets match the oversized look well for this coat. I love that it’s made from wool and the two colours look amazing. This is definitely a must have buy for the winter, this is one of them coats where you’ll feel all snug even in the coldest of weathers! I also really adore the neckline of this piece, and the simply zip from neck to hem of the coat really adds effect, less is always more!

2. If you’ve read any of my other posts, you’ll possibly know I love the look of collars, and this winter I really like the fur collars that are seen around everywhere! However, I’ve never really been too excited about these in previous years when they’ve been on trend… most years, it’s always repeated! But this year I’ve seen some really nice faux fur collars and I’ve noticed loads of girls wearing them and making them look really nice with a simple coat! This is definitely something I will be buying in the winter weeks to come.

3. Even though cross earrings are ‘so last season’ they’re really not! I still really love them, and I also like the newest bigger sized crosses, seen above! They’re really cute. I wear my cross earrings basically every day, mine are the smaller version of these but I really enjoy adding them to an outfit!

4. These high waist skinny’s are perfect for a casual or more dressed up outfit, they’d look perfect with some creepers and a tucked in knitted jumper for the daytime or with an off the shoulder top and a pair of platforms for an evening outfit! I'm also glad their high waist as I absolutely loveeeee high waist trousers at the moment!!

5. This Romwe knitted jumper is extremely cute! This would look perfect over a black dress with some patterned tights, or worn over the Topshop skirt (6) with a pair of boot heels.

6. This skirt is sooooo pretty!! It is similar to the recent sheer maxi skirts that have been in stores with the longer back, but I’d say this one is so much nicer than them, it looks elegant and stylish. The skirt is a tad pricey but it could be a really good investment!

7. This Zara bag may need to go on my Christmas list! It’s amazing! I'm not sure the picture does the bag much justice, but there are a few more (better) images on the link to the website. But seriously, the price for this bag is also very much amazing!!! This is my favourite on the wish list, the price having a major influence on how much I love it.

8. These wood sandals are really beautiful! The divide between the wood and leather and the thick leather straps adds a nice detail and gives a good effect to the design. I’ve really liked chunky heels for a while now and these ones are just adorable!

9. So, I know this necklace is quite pricey, and I think it would take a lot for me to actually purchase this, but I still thought I would add this in for those who do like to spend a lot on statement pieces. The colours on this piece really make the necklace even nicer and the size of the chain piece also adds an edge to the jewellery creating a beautiful piece.

10. The thing that made this blouse stand out to me was the colour, it’s a really subtle but cute shade or light blue and when I noticed this on the H&M website it looked amazingly pretty on the model too! Such a good buy.

Hope you all liked these pieces as much as I did! 

Love Stacey
