My Perfect London Fashion Week Outfit with Motel Rocks

Hello!

I'm not usually one to want to partake in blogger competitions but when I heard about Motel Rocks' chance to attend London Fashion Week, I did a little shriek at my computer screen.

Motel is a brand I truly love and have done for a number of years; coupled with the fact that as a fashion-obsessed Journalism graduate, reporting from LFW would be an absolute dream.

So without further a-do, here's my perfect LFW outfit, with some key pieces from Motel:

My Perfect LFW Front Row Outfit with Motel Rocks by katieafox

I've chosen some great items from Motel. The Foxy (perfect down to the name- aha!) white faux leather jacket with studs down the shoulders has a really cool modern aesthetic and is the perfect throw-on piece for spring. I also picked the Lara crop polo top which is covered with a digital camo print to add a bit of edge and the Star Textured Skinny Pant in black as I'm a big fan of anything high-waisted! Add to this my Jeffrey Campbell Lana boots (which my boyfriend bought me for my birthday from Motel last year), a trusty bowler hat and some silver jewellery, including an awesome cross bracelet by Rock 'N Rose.

I'm sure I'm not alone in desperately wanting to go to LFW- what would you wear if you were?

Love,

Full Metal Jacket

Hello!

This is just a quick one to show you a simple DIY I just did.

A few weeks ago I was back at home (North Yorkshire) and decided to pay a visit to my favourite army shop, as I was after a camouflage jacket.

I was chuffed to pick up this U.S. Army Jacket for £9.99

And this lighter camo jacket/shirt for only £5.99

It was funny actually; as soon as I was back in Manchester, I spotted about 20 girls wearing them in town, then logged onto the Topshop website to find that they were massively pushing them too!

To make mine stand out a bit, I decided to add something else I'm loving at the moment- spike studs. Anyone who follows me on Pinterest will have probably noticed that I'm having a bit of a stud fetish phase!

As with all of my studs, I ordered them from a Chinese seller on eBay, so they took a few weeks to arrive; they were only about £2 for 20 studs with free shipping.

Please first accept my apologies for my appearance and for not styling this properly- I'd just been to the gym (hence the wildy uncool and very old Three Peaks Challenge t shirt!). Mind you, I say went to the gym but that's literally all it was; I grabbed some old leggings off the floor this morning and when I got changed at the gym I realised they had a huge hole in them and came straight home in shame!

These are screw-back studs and were really easy to apply. I used the tip of a pair of fabric scissors to make a small hole to push them through.

May also add some patches like Jessie J's from Wireless Festival this weekend.

Have you had a go at studding anything?

Love,
