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:

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 our ST Stylist Lorna Collins!

“Hello everyone!

I’m Lorna, an eighteen year old student who’s studying Fashion Promotion in September. Some things I can’t go a day without are: good music, incessant amounts of tea and reading fashion magazines and blogs. Being picked as a Motel Street Team Stylist is super exciting for me and perfect as I absolutely love the entire Motel Rocks store... No exaggeration. My blog, Girl in Albion, is a mixed bag of things ranging from my personal style to favourite brands (featuring Motel Rocks - of course!) and trends that are catching my eye at the moment.

It’s difficult to pin down but I’d say my style is a combination of marshmallow cute with a slight rock ‘n’ roll edge whenever I’m feeling like it. It’s inspired by whatever I see in magazines and stick onto my walls in the spur of the moment – I have pictures of punk heroine Debbie Harry to dainty and graceful Audrey Hepburn. One day I’ll be all about the pastel ice cream colour palette and the next day I’ll be in a world of leather and studs.  The best thing is being able to mix them together and experiment with my style.

My favourite summer trends involve floral prints, lemon sorbet and mint hues and anything covered with daisies!  This is where Motel Rocks comes in with their wonderful summer-themed items. I can’t stop looking at the Penny Babydoll Dress in Daisy Appliqué, it fits in with the monochrome trend AND features daisy appliqué detailing around the neckline and sleeves – insanely cute and a definite must-have. I’m also lusting after the Dora Frayed Denim Short in Blue Marble Print after buying the dress version. The vibrant tie dye print would be perfect paired with a 90’s crop top at a festival or on the beach!

If you’d like to see more of my never-ending wishlists or my outfit posts, head over to my blog and don’t forget(!) you can get a massive 20% off when you enter my code ‘girlinalbion’ at the checkout. Why not treat yourself to that item you can’t stop staring at!?

What are your favourite Motel Rocks pieces this summer?”

Meet our ST Stylst Ciara O' Doherty!

Hello lovelies!

My name is Ciara and I am a presenter, fashion writer, and all-round dreamer blogging from www.WildChildStories.com. Fashion, and the media are my absolute passions, and I had so much fun using them to get creative with my Street Team Stylist Tasks, so as you can imagine I was SO happy when I chosen to be a Street Team Stylist! Im an adventurous, fun-loving girl, so I can't wait to see what kinds of mischief myself and the other ST Stylists will get up to!

Motel has to be one of my favourite online shops right now. They're not afraid to be bold with their designs and trends, but they always get it so right! When I throw on a Motel skirt or dress for a night-out, I know I'm going to have a good time. One of my all-time favourite Motel pieces simply HAS to be the Gabby Sequin Dress, it's my ultimate party dress, and I've gotten so much wear out of it! Im really loving Motels new Shiva Print pieces at the moment, the colours are just beautiful, and I think they're the perfect summer party-wear. Im also really digging the Marble-Print Kimono jacket, it would be perfect as a light cover-up on a hot day!

My style is very eclectic, its always changing depending on my mood. I love hunting for bargains online and in thrift shops, and mixing it up with highstreet finds. You don't need to spend a fortune to look great, its all about mixing and matching the right pieces! At the moment I'm wearing lots of colour, and experimenting with some fun prints for Spring/Summer. 

For more style inspiration and wishlist posts, be sure to check out my blog here, [www.WildChildStories.com] and remember you can use my Street Teamer code "WILDCHILDCIARA" to get 20% off all of these Motel goodies!

So here's to a fabulous, fashionable and FUN Summer!

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!
