Motel Vintage Pop Up Preview

Hey gals! Hope everyone is enjoying the summer sunshine, because we certainly are!

Last week we hosted a special 2 day Motel Vintage Pop Up Shop in London and had an exclusive preview ahead of the launch and wanted to share some insider info and pics with you all!

The Motel Vintage Pop Up preview was held in our London HQ which was converted into a retro vintage den for the night with cute tea cups, a 1970's vintage bar and a pretty awesome record player spinning some tunes. The lovely girls from Rockalily Cuts were on hand to create 1950's hair do's for guests with impressive up-do's and glam victory rolls. We also had the lovely team from The Vintage Cosmetics Company showcasing their new range of accessories and beauty products and offering fluttery false eyelashes by their professional make-up artist.

A party isn't a party without some sweet treats right?! Our local cake-making friends, Masters, made us some delicious sweet snacks to nibble on though out the evening, from the infamous cronuts to the one-is-never-enough chocolate brownies, we definitely indulged for the night! All the snacks and drinks were presented in cute vintage tea cups and plates courtesy of The Vintage Sisters which we wanted to keep and take home with us!!

If you haven’t heard about the jewellery brand Gogo Philip then you have definitely been missing out. They sell bold statement jewellery pieces that can make any look turn up! Their key style is gold plated jewellery inspired by 90's and urban culture with a modern twist. (Think Salt-n-Pepa huge hoop earrings) and they were also selling some of their latest styles at the Pop Up shop.

Our Motel Vintage collection has a mixture of different styles with inspiration from 80's and 90's culture and all reworked from original vintage garments. There were iconic Levi jeans showcased as well as floral shirts, pinafores and 2 piece bralett and shorts sets. A favourite was the PE style shorts and Adidas cardigans which was a big craze in the 80s. Guests were also going crazy for our cute 50's style cropped tie front shirts, which are available online now at Motelrocks.com too!

We all had a great time here at Motel and we hope that everyone that attended and shopped the Motel Vintage collection did too! Keep in the loop with all our future events, Pop Up shops and sample sales on our social media at the links below;

Meet our Street Team Autumn Stylist: Mai Stor!

Hello lovelies! My name is Mai Stor, I live in Israel and I'm a 14 year old girl who has strong passion for fashion! Since I was 10 years old I started to be more involved in the fashion world: I watched runways on 'Fashion TV' and looked over blogs. It took me 4 years to decide that I wanna be a fashion blogger and try my best to succeed.

My style is changing- sometimes I can wear a lovely dress, sometime I can wear crazy leggings and even a good old pair of jeans :) I get inspired mostly from my favourite bloggers, some runways and magazines (I'm not reading a lot, but when I do, I do get inspired!) I can't leave the house without my headphones, my phone, some wipes and a key. And from all of them my favourite is my phone (of course!) because there are a lot of songs of my all time favourite singers, social media like Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram!

My favourite season is definitely fall, because the style is more than amazing, it's gorgeous. I love the brown colours; they are so warm and cosy for fall time. And I am the kind of person that lights a scented candle in her room, because I like when my room smells delicious- vanilla scent, yummy <3

Now, let's move into another subject! Motel Rocks has the best clothing e-v-e-r! I'm not joking, they have amazing clothes. That's why I decided to do a wishlist for the fall time from Motel Rocks- there it is:

If you liked what you see in this post, don't forget to check out my blog Stormia, and also use your 20% discount code using this code- Stormia, because you have to buy something from Motel Rocks!

August Street Teamer of the Month...Allie Davies!

Check out Allie's blog Tie Dye Eyes!

You’re the August Street Teamer of the month, how does that feel?

That feels great! It's the best news I've had all week, it's nice to know my hard work is worth while.

What made you want to join the Motel Rocks Street Team?

I've been a huge fan of Motel Rocks for a long time and once I saw my favourite bloggers collaborating with motel for lots of exciting things, I decided to get in on the action!

What advice would you give to other teamers?

The best advice I could give is to be creative. Don't just put your banner in a corner of your blog, go out and talk to people and casually mention your code, print stickers and business cards and hand them out or leave them in places. My hairdresser was kind enough to let me leave a few cards on her counter.

Any tips on how to make the most of being a Street Teamer?

Motel is one of the best brands to work with so make the most of it by creating wishlist posts and styling your favourite item over and over again, showing your readers how versatile their pieces can be. Be genuine, in my case, I genuinely love Motel!

What’s the best thing about being in the Street Team?

Best thing about being a street teamer is the community side of it. Once you see a fellow blogger is also a member it gives you something to talk about and can be a bit of an icebreaker. In fact, I just gave my code to someone on my Uni course who I've only just met today.

Guest Post by Melanie!

Hi everyone! I’m Melanie and I blog over at Those Things They Said. First off, I’d like to thank Laura for selecting me as the Street Team’s ‘Blogger of the Week’…I’m tremendously honored!

Now, I don’t think I can tell you enough about how much I love Motel Rocks. Each season, I fall in love with all the new prints and styles and I’m always thoroughly impressed with the quality.

Tried and true, my Jordan jeans are amongst my favorite Motel purchases. Not only are they the most comfortable pants that I own, but they make such great statement wardrobe pieces. The fit is also really flattering which is something that usually concerns me with pants as I’m on the curvy side and usually have to deal with my pants “gapping” (if you have this problem, size down to your waist size and the stretch can accommodate your hips!). I know I’ve found something worthwhile when I own it in multiples (I have three, haha.)

Right now I’m really into the Laynie dress with the cross embellishments. It’s such a cute dress that’s in line with my personal style. The baby doll cut paired with the sheer top is so dainty and perfect. This would definitely go great with a pair of Doc Martens or Jeffrey Campbell Tardy boots as well as some basic accessories. I’m basically in love with any of the styles with the cross embellishments…they’re all so edgy!

If you guys would like to see any more of how I style my Motel items, feel free to check out my blog. There, I post outfits, illustrations, wishlists, DIYs and more J

November Street Teamer of the Month - Leanne Woodfull!

Meet our November Street Teamer of the Month - Leanne Woodfull!

So, your the November Street Teamer of the month 2012, how does that feel?

Fantastic! It feels great to be recognised in an ever-growing community of fashion lovers!

What made you want to join the Motel Rocks Street Team?

I've been obsessed with Motel Rocks for years, and own a heap of pieces from the brand. I thought it'd be fantastic to join such an interesting community, spreading the word around about the brand and showing others how amazing it is!

What advise would you give to other teamers?

Don't spam people with links and discount codes! It annoys people. Mention your discount code in outfit posts or photos featuring a Motel Rocks item for example, or if you love a certain piece on the site - link it, and mention your code. Posting the code once or twice a week is perfect!

Any tips on how to make the most of being a Street Teamer?

Have a genuine interest in the brand, and take an interest in other Street Teamers too. It is a community at the end of the day, jam-packed with other like-minded girls!

Whats the best thing about being in the Street Team?

Spreading the word around about one of my favourite brands! I love hearing back from a reader saying they used my code to get a piece from the site!

We just LOVE her!
