So I have stayed true to my word and ended up with another piece in Motel’s fab Mandala print! I really love the fit of this dress from MeeMee, it’s the perfect relaxed fit for casual wear but could easily work with some big chunky heels for a night out. I’ve already gone on enough about how much I like this print (see my posts featuring the Mandala Kimono here and here), but it definitely works on this dress equally well. I paired it with all black some silver accessories (the longer necklace was a bargain £2 from Primark) and a deep purple lip (Mac’s ‘Media’).
I went to Disneyland!!! I was lucky enough to go to Disney in Florida when I was 8, but I honestly think it was almost as much fun this time around. I’m not really a theme park person, I hate UK theme parks because I can hardly manage any rides due to horrible motion sickness, and they’re generally pretty dirty and crap places to be, but Disney is another story altogether. It’s such a great experience, everything is spotlessly clean, the streets and the shops and general scenery and atmosphere are amazing, and there are only a few rides which I think would make me sick so I have plenty to do all day. Not that anyone needs persuading that Disneyland is great, I’m sure…
Outfit: Dungarees – Motel* | Top – River Island | Sandals – Matalan* | Bag – Primark
I wore Bourjois ‘Blue No Blues’ on my nails throughout my holiday, I had been searching for the perfect turquoise shade for a while and this is exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately it exploded in my suitcase on the flight home (!!!!!) so I don’t have much left now (and I am down a dress and a shirt!), but it was definitely amazing while it lasted.
This will be my last outfit post for a couple of weeks as I’m heading to CALIFORNIA in the early hours, eeeek! If anyone has any recommendations of things to see, do or eat, or shops to visit anywhere in SoCal then please leave a comment below. If I can blog whilst I’m away then I will do so, but I can make no promises. I will be posting (a lot) on Instagram whilst I’m there, so if you don’t already follow me my username is hannahlouisef. Have a great summer 🙂

Wearing all white everything is one of the biggest trends this season, and is a department that my wardrobe is seriously lacking in. I’ve picked out some of my favourite items of white clothing (all Topshop, first photo) and accessories (all ASOS, second photo), some of which I hope to add to my clothes rail soon! White pieces are great paired with eachother, but they can also be worn with any other colour you like, making them super versatile and hopefully good value pieces. Happy shopping 🙂
I’m obsessed with this Motel dress! I love versatile pieces, and this dress can be dressed up or down so easily, and can be layered up for winter or worn with a straw hat and sandals during the (hopefully) hot summer.
The monochrome stripes are bang on trend for this season and the approaching spring/summer, and any monochrome print looks great with a colour pop in your accessories or shoes. Here I paired it with neon yellow, a trend from last summer which I still love, however, it looks equally great paired with thick tights, boots, some faux fur and a wintery oxblood or with metallic or holographic accessories for a night out.
I went all out with the monochrome here by wearing the Motel dress with my Nasty Gal Moto jacket which I got on sale for a bargain $35 (around £22)! The winter sun has allowed me to also wear my new D&G sunglasses from Sunglasses Shop which I love – they’re a great shape without being so big that they overtake your face. Sunglasses Shop have tons of other great designer sunglasses, click through to check them out.
I’m wearing a size XS, but I think I would have preferred a S so it was a little more oversized and don’t forget to use the 15% discount code in my sidebar, happy shopping 🙂
Despite my looming exams (first one is tomorrow, wish me luck!!) I’ve still found a million ways to distract myself, one of them of course being taking photos of everything I do for Instagram. Last week, Monday-Sunday consisted of:
