December Street Teamer of the Month…Elizabeth Rush!

Tell us a bit about yourself 

I am a full time working mummy with a huge passion for being 'fashionable' still haha! I currently run my own childrens clothing business called Little Fox Boutique as well as working for a University!

 What inspires your fashion style/your fave type of thing to wear? 

I am hugely inspired by my students at work! Im only 26 and love to see what prints and styles students around me are wearing to keep up to date with current trends! I use my Motel street team commision to buy my work attire and today at work I am wearing the tartan print shift dress teamed with tights and heels! I live in dresses and tartan and monochrome is still a huge part of my trend at the moment!

Your fave season for dressing and why?

My favourite season is definately Summer! Being a mummy I try and spend as much time outside.. I love babydoll and tea style dresses for this season!

Best thing about being part of Motel street team and why you love Motel? 

The best thing about being a street teamer is giving my promo code to all of my friends and students! They love getting a discount on their orders and I always tell them about new arrivals / hot prints Motel are renound for! My sisters and friends also love me as they get little gifts from me!

Well done Elizabeth! We can't wait to see who will be Januarys' Street Teamer of the Month!

November Street Teamer of the Month...Leanne Woodfull!

Check out Leanne's blog 'thunderandthreads' here!

Tell us a bit about yourself 

I'm Leanne Woodfull, a fashion and beauty blogger from Dublin. I recently moved to London and I'm loving it!

What inspires your fashion style/your fave type of thing to wear? 

Everything from movies to music to street-style. I would describe my style as Morticia Addams meets Courtney Love.

Your fave season for dressing and why? 

I love wearing black; PVC, faux leather and sheer items are my fave! Summer, probably because I tend to wear a lot of crop tops and shorts - Winter tends to not be the most suitable for that!

Best thing about being part of Motel street team and why you love Motel!

4. I've literally adored Motel since it began and it was one of the first companies to ever support me as a blogger - I'll never forget that! The street teaming is a heap of fun; a great way to treat your readers with the discount code - and yourself with the credits!

Guest Post by Concrete Collar!

We have some amazing dediacted fashionistas on the street team as you well know and we're happy to introduce you to some here! Concrete Collar is a blog by two architect students about the cross-polination between fashion and architecture, interetsing stuff and they've writen us a guest post reporting on some festival styling at Field Day Festival London. Take a look at their blog, facebook and instagram for more of their fashion know how!

Hi there!

The girls of Concrete Collar here! Hope you all enjoyed your long weekend. Ciana was in London for Field Day Festival and snapped some great street style for you guys. 

Some trends on the rise for this festival season in particular are the Kanken backpack and all things fluffy! Floral headgear, and denim cutoffs are still great festival staples. This summer though we think you should reinvent your floral headgear... try DIYing some cat ears as seen below with some miniature flowers! 90s gear is still seeing a major revival in the form of crop tops and dungarees. Try wearing yours with a baggy hoodie to vamp up the grunginess, or even better with a scrunchy and round rimmed sunnies!

All the best,

Ciana and Becky

Meet out first ST Stylist winner...Hannah McIntyre!

We'd love to introduce you to our first ST Stylists winner...Hannah McIntyre!

Her entrees to our stylist hunt were fab, we were very impressed by her and she's one of our most dedicated street teamers! She defiantly represents all our rocker/grungy Motel fashionistas! 

Take a look at her winning entrees below:

Not only is she very stylish but she's also lovely (which we love) and heres her first blog post for us introducing herself and talking about her fav Motel pieces! Take a look! 

Hi Motel lovers, my name's Hannah and I'm a twenty-one year old illustration student, music lover, clothes obsessive and blogger at Daisies and Dr Martens. I was recently picked as a Motel Street Team stylist which was so exciting as I love Motel - their statement pieces are perfect for bringing life to any wardrobe!

As an illustration student I'm always looking for visual inspiration, style or otherwise, which tends to result in my own personal style being quite varied: however, I generally favour alternative styles and I'm addicted to monochromatic or all-black looks. Still, I like mixing different textures to keep things interesting and adding a bohemian twist to outfits, particularly in the summer. I also believe you can never have too many accessories! Recently I've been obsessed with mixing and matching separates: patterned skirts, lace crop tops, and next on my summer style to-do list is to try clashing prints: I have my eye on the Dana Paisley tops to try this with!

My favourite trend this season has to be the revival of the 90s, taking all the best bits and bringing them back - I love the sense of nostalgia. I can never get enough crop tops, chokers and chunky shoes! I also love a good girlie print (my current favourites are tie dye and floral) which break up an all-black look perfectly.

Some of the items I'm lusting over from Motel this season are the Penny Tie Front Crop Shirt in Daisy Applique which would be great for holiday but could be worn all year round, the Zena Bodycon Dress in Black and White Shiva Print (a girl on my course bought the rainbow version and it looks amazing on her!) and of course the Catalina off-shoulder skater dresses (particularly the Pink Buzz Flower Print) - however, I have tons of wishlist posts with outfit inspiration that you can check out here. You can also get 20% off at Motel using my code 'doodleheart' - what are you waiting for? Make sure to comment and tell me what items you're coveting this summer and how you'd style them!

April Street teamer of the month...Jane Davis!!!

This months Street Teamer is the lovely Jane Davis! Month after month she's been one of our top sellers so her advice is well worth listening to! 

So, your the 2013 April Street Teamer of the Month, how does that feel?

It's crazy!! I was always so jealous of the other Street Teamers when they got Street Teamer Of The Month, and I never thought it would ever be me! It's a fantastic feeling to be recognised by a brand I love so much!

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

Mainly because the brand is just so good! I've always loved Motel and when I found out about the Street Team I joined instantly. It's so great to feel apart of a community.

What advise would you give to other teamers?

For me owning Motel clothes is the key! How can you try and sell something to somebody if you don't fully understand the brand? Advertise, advertise, advertise! Show off what you've bought on your blog or what you'd like to buy and then link them to Motel Rocks and mention your code. It really works!

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

Get involved in the community by entering competitions and talking to other Street Teamers! Also make sure you mention your code to everyone (friends, family, bloggers) so you can earn great commission and buy cute clothes!

Whats the best thing about being in the Street Team?

My favourite thing is the commission! Being a student, I wouldn't normally be able to afford the clothes that I really like, so gaining commission for advertising really helps me out. I get to look stylish and help out a brand that I really like - what could be better than that?

Street Teamer of the Month "August" - Elizabeth Rush!

Meet our first...

Elizabeth was so happy to be chosen as our ST'er of the Month for August. Here's her fab interview where she shares her excitement, top tips and her love for MotelRocks! 

So, your the Street Teams first teamer of the month in 2012, how does that feel?

Opening my email up to find I was Motels Street Teamer of the Month put a VERY Big smile on my face!! In all the excitement I even forwarded the email to my Fiance at work :) Its nice to know that the promoting I do for Motel is paying off!!

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

I was lucky enough to have been a street teamer last year and enjoyed it so much! My hard work promoting Motel paid off and I earned a lot of commission! At the time I was at University so had a large social network of friends. When I received an email saying I had the opportunity to do it again I jumped at the chance. I think its a great idea that Street Teamers earn their commission to spend on Motel Goodies! It gives me a chance to buy and wear my favourite Motel Items!!

What advise would you give to other teamers?

To do well it is important to dedicate as much time as possible to promoting your code and promoting MOTEL! Be unique in the ways you do this! Think outside of the box! Pass your code onto friends so they can share it too with their friends... pay them back in letting them borrow your Motel Commission earned goodies on nights out! 

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

As I mentioned above, think outside of the box! Going to an event this year? Use local festivals and gigs to flyer! Wear Motel out and when someone comments on how nice your dress is... tell them about being a street teamer and pass on your code!

Whats the best thing about being in the Street Team?

Earning commission to spend on Motel means I have the opportunity and excuse to buy all of my Fav Motel goodies and as an Essex Gal its so important to look reem every hour of the day!!

A BIG congrats and thank you to Elizabeth who receives a MotelRocks t-shirt plus some other ST goodies! 

Will you be Street Teamer of the month for September? 

Olympic Tasks - Let the games begin!

Hi teamers! 

Here at Street Team HQ we're sooooo excited about the Olympics that we decided to have some games of our own! 

Here are your first street team tasks, let the best teamers win! 

Good luck, let the tasks begin! 

Tips from Street Team HQ

Here are a few tips from Street Team HQ to get you earning credit quickly! 

This is an easy one as you all look amazing in Motel but theres nothing wrong with making a special effort and getting noticed! Don't forget to wear your I ♥ Motel tote bag packed full of your discount flyers.

That way when people ask "where did you get that?" and you can answer "Motel Rocks" and hand them a flyer with your discount code! Crafty!

This is probably our street teamers favourite way to share their discount code with thousands of girls with a simple click of a button! You can share your code on your own personal facebook page, twitter account and blog but NOT (and this is a disciplinary offence) on any of the Motel Rocks social media sites. 

It's a simple rule but a big one. 

And with our FREE Street Team blog button it's even easier to share and get earning!

Sometimes the old ways are the best, simply tell all those around you how much you love Motel Rocks! 

Then when you can offer them a 20% discount with your discount code they'll be very happy and you can watch the store credit roll in! (and get ready to make more friends!)

Good friends share everything and your Motel discount code is no different! Maybe your friend would like to become a street teamer too? There's nothing like a bit of friendly competition - which one of you will be the next street teamer of the month? Which one will earn the most credit? The most important thing is to share your discounts so your both winners!

Students are a big part of our street team as many of our members are...students! If you are one, thats great! With all those club nights, gigs and parties you'll be going to you'll be sharing your discount code with lots of people and that means lots of store credit, yay! (and it can go towards all those fab Motel party dresses)

Here at Street Team HQ we like to think we're a creative bunch and we always encourage our teamers to be creative too. Maybe you want to host a Motel Rocks Party? Maybe you want to organise a Motel rocks fashion show or even wear your discount code on a t-shirt! Which ever way you want to promote your discount code be creative and let us know what your up to! Just be sensible and have fun!

Now you've learnt some helpful tips to help you earn more credit its time to get out into the big, wide world and share your love for Motel Rocks! 

Got any tip ideas of your own? Get in touch!
