The Motel Wanda Dress is my second Motel Rocks review - thanks to their lovely people sending me a couple of the AW10 frocks to try on and blog about!

Fun and flirty, this little number is perfect for those wanting to channel the retro movement, which is so prevalent in this seasons designs – featuring a bold polka dot pattern in ivory and black, it’s sure to turn heads!

The sweetheart neckline and tulip skirt is super flattering, creating a ‘Jessica Rabbit’ effect by cinching in my waist. So figure-hugging…it’s like this dress has been painted on, so without the help of my ’magic pants’ I’d probably opt for a size up!  

I adore the pocket detailing, which offers a relaxed and sassy attitude…hands in pocket and paired with killer heels,  Wanda  evokes an almost cocky demeanor!

 Motel dresses are clearly designed to complement and enhance your silhouette and I find that every time I wear one, my confidence is boosted…the Motel Wanda Dress really makes me want to celebrate my curves!

So if you’re looking for a frock that’s daring, different and a fail-safe figure fixer, make sure you check out the AW10 collection of Motel Dresses…they won’t disappoint.

Embellishment is one of the key trends for AW10, with design houses Balmain and Christopher Cane adorning their hero dresses with sequins, feathers, brocade and more…

To channel this look with a high street brand, top marks must go to French Connection and their gorgeous sequinned dress. Certain to become a party classic, the Moonriver Moire Dress is a long-sleeved frock that’s swathed in petrol black sequins – it’s one sassy little number!

So if you’ve had enough of the ‘less is more’ mantra of last year, bag yourself the French Connection sequin dress…and shine!

Karen Millen dresses dominate the high street and department stores as the frock of choice for women who aspire to directional design, meets bang-for-your-buck!

A premium brand that’s synonymous with celebrating the womanly form; with tailoring that enhances and fabrics that flatter, it’s easy to see why Karen Millen dresses tend to be the frock of choice for so many.

This next season, AW10 trends are less pronounced than previous seasons – but that’s no bad thing. Instead, the fashion world has sat up and taken notice of the current climate and are instead encouraging us to embrace our femininity with the ladylike silhouette’s of yester-year…

It’s also ‘en vouge’ to be looking towards high quality, investment  items, that will endure. Disposable fashion is out.

With that in mind, Karen Millen dresses become even more relevant, as they offer such superior quality to many of their high street rivals.

The AW10 collection offers the very best of this brand and has created even more stunning frocks, featuring colour-blocks, digital prints and embellishments.

The first of the AW10 has just reached stores and it’s brimming with strong statements, like the sculptural Ruffle Dress. A look that’s balanced by it’s total contradiction of luxe meets minimalism…an exciting and tantalising start to the new season of Karen Millen dresses!
