Motel On Skins this Thursday !!

March 18th, 2009 — 4:03pm

Just before Christmas our Motel store in Bristol let the cast and crew of Skins in for the day to record part of their penultimate episode on Katie and Emily, the twins.

“It’s the college prom. Katie is humilated and wants Freddie to pay, but she’ll also do whatever it takes to stop Emily and Naomi living happily ever after. Twin showdown = double the fun (and twice as mean.)” – Taken from the E4 website

If you’ve been watching Skins from the start you may of caught a glimpse of the shop in the first episode when Freddie skates down Park Street and does a nifty little trick over a skip right in front of the store… if you missed it you can see the image below!

Skins just couldn’t get enough of our wonderful store and so they then recorded a whole scene inside! In this episode the two twins are in the store looking for their ‘Love Ball’ Dresses, when they bump into Freddie and JJ.. If you’ve been watching skins and know the drama you’ll understand why things get a little heated!

The episode is being played this Thursday the 19th March but, if you just can’t wait, then have a look at this clip of the guys talking in the shop!

Last Thursday we had a Discount Evening in our Bristol shop located on the wonderful Park Street. First of all we want to thank all the people who came and made it the success it was! The evening was so popular we had people queuing outside an hour before we reopened, we had free drinks, goodie bags (including 10 special goodie bags to the 1st 10 people who arrived with “i ‘heart’ Motel” t-shirts in them) and free candy floss! What more could a girl want? We are planning another Discount Evening just after the Easter holidays so watch out for news on here or add your email in a comment below to be added to our mailing list.

Motel in Topshop

March 10th, 2009 — 3:49pm

Motel is now in 13 Topshops across England and Ireland. London Oxford circus, Belfast, Dublin, Manchester, Middlesbrough, Cardiff, Bristol, Glasgow, York, Birmingham, and recently High Street Kensington, Lakeside Essex and Canterbury, with more on the way. Customers have been going crazy over our spring collection especially garments in the blue vintage rose as pictured here in the Linda dress. This print is the epitome of spring style for me, it’s fresh, it’s floral, it’s girly and the violet blue and almost neon baby pink make a magical combination.
