Motel Rocks!!!

We all know about my swimwear obsession. It’s no secret and if it was I’d be doing a rubbish job of keeping it that way. Any excuse to wear a bikini or swimsuit and I’m there. Not because I love to be at the beach- which I do, that’s just not the reason- but simply because there’s an edge to swimwear that other clothes just seem to lack.

I’m particular about my swimwear and any old bikini won’t cut it. It has to be edgy, it has to be noticeable, it has to be me. I’ll search for hours for the perfect piece and enjoy the hunt, but it didn’t take me long to come across this season’s Motel swim collection. 

A tankini top with space print? Yes please! Bikinis with multiple strap detail? Be mine now!! High waist leopard… until I’m not even in the swim section anymore and my basket’s getting fuller and fuller. You get the picture- Motel Rocks! So you can only imagine my excitement when they asked me to collaborate with them and style up pieces from their new season collection! Yeoowww (there I go again, getting all excited).

First up I chose the super sweet Queenie Mesh Panel Swim Suit to style and give inspo to all you lovely ladies for the hot summer ahead (we pray)! I love my jewelled headpiece and it works great with the Queenie one piece. The swimsuit's really simple and toughened up with the low scoop back and mesh inserts it's the perfect item to match with statement jewellery. Whether you'll be sipping cocktails by the pool or hitting the local beach party, just add a kimono and you're good to go.

(Try tying the kimono around your waist and adding wellies for a great festival look!)

 And you don't just have to lounge around on the beach or by the pool in this swimsuit-  team with an oversized tee or  high waist shorts for a more sporty look. I threw on this oversized mesh top from ASOS and a pair of Vans plimsolls and was ready to transfer from beach to skate park in no time!

Watch out for how I styled up the Motel Lemonade Ballerina Scoop Back Body coming soon. xxx
