Motel Rocks... and I Love Lemons!!

I thought I'd start back my blogging with a special post for cutie British brand Motel. You may have seen my last post for them (click me if you missed it!) where I promised to show you all how I styled the Motel Lemonade Scoop Back Bodice. Well, here it finally is...

I decided to keep it simple, as the bodice really does speak for itself but if you're wearing this around London town I'd suggest that you add some shorts... As much as we like to think that we all live in LA, unfortunately we don't. High waist denim would be ideal! However, here's my take on the bodice, editorial style.

Also, check out more from Motel for some seriously fun outfits. They just collaborated with my favourite little model, the beautiful Mimi Elashiry. If Mimi's wearing it, say no more... xx

Brixton Shoot Preview

Hey guys! So I thought that I'd give you a little teaser of my recent shoot with talented Brooklyn based photographer Sarah de Burgh. I was lucky enough to shoot with a very well behaved staffy named Red and some cutie wriggly squeaky little... PUPPIES (who were definitely giving me a run for my money)!! Here's a sneaky preview for the shoot last week!

Look out for more coming very very soon and in the meantime why not check out Sarah's work at sarahdeburgh.com xx

304# Clothing

It's hot in London and I'm dreaming of hitting the beach (although I'll be at Wireless festival today so dreamily admiring Pharrell will have to do for now)! But it wasn't long since was at the beach shooting with the 304# Clothing boys for their SS campaigns. The weather was an absolute dream, just like the team. Check out the results below...

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

I Wear Boys' Pants!

I'm obsessed with menswear, I really am. In fact, I'm that crazy about it that I like to wear men's clothes as part of my everyday outfits. It's not for everyone, I agree. But lets face it, we've all stolen our boyfriend's hoodie, tee or sweatshirt at some point... right?!

Men's clothing can make your outfit look effortlessly cool whilst also being super duper comfortable. It's also really simple to wear and is perfect when teamed with more feminine pieces (see my crop top and boys jeans below)! So grab the oversized tee, baggy pants or baseball shirt and show these boys how their clothes should really be worn! I've given it a damn good go myself below.. xx

Shoot with Craig Bingham

I must apologise for the lack of posts on TIGERESSLIFESTYLE recently! The past couple of weeks have been crazily busy but I'm back to keep you updated with lifestyle tips, tricks and newness- and of course on my work within the fashion industry! 

I've been a busy buzzy little bee shooting etc. so I thought that I'd start back with a recent collaboration of mine with fellow northerner Craig Bingham. Craig's work is pretty arty and in all honesty, pretty amazing! All shot in black and white in a little country barn studio, I'm wearing absolutely no make-up whatsoever and sporting some super messy kitty-ear hair (meowww)! Let me know what you think! xx

London Photographer: Ruhul Amin

Yeoooww! That's the noise I make when I get a little bit too excited. Which I am, because I've been planning my next shoot with the super talented East London based photographer, Ruhul Amin. There's no denying that Ruhul has a natural talent for photography. In fact, some of my best portfolio work has been shot by him. So, after discussing our next shoot (within the next couple of weeks woohoooo!) I've decided to post images from our first ever collaboration right here for you all to see!

Keep an eye out for the next shoot to be posted on TIGERESSLIFESTYLE and in the meantime why not check out Ruhul's work at ruhul.vsco.co or on his instagram page @ruhul_221 !

Enjoy xx

P.S. How cute is this little edit from Ruhul?!?! x
