Our interns Carla and Aramide from the US of A give Motel Rocks the lowdown on top style stories this week…

L-U-V! Madonna!  Her amazing Superbowl half-time performance was just the tip of the iceberg.   Madonna announced a new album, “MDNA,”  and the Material Girl has a world tour to accompany it. She has just posted dates for a six-month jaunt through the Middle East, Europe and North America.

Nicki Minaj has the Internet buzzing. With her new video, ‘Stupid Hoe’ breaking VEVO record for online views, plus joining Madonna at the Superbowl halftime show, she is proving that she is the new Hip-Hop princess.

Her style is so Motel Rocks. She loves to push the limit with her crazy hair and colorful body-con dresses. You might not be able to rock her hairstyles but with Motel, you can certainly rock her style.

Elsewhere it’s the beginning of Social Media week in New York and of course, Fashion Week!

In Illinois, the Art Institute of Chicago is holding their annual spring fashion show. The show will feature designs from up and coming student designers. It’s always very exciting to see fresh new talent in fashion!

A huge event and sale called the Randolph Street Market is happening Saturday, Feb. 4 and Sunday, Feb. 5. The Randolph Street Market is the largest of it’s kind in Chicago and is always highly anticipated. The best local shops and curators of vintage, antique and accessory designs can all be found at the market. It’s a very exciting and highly publicized event!

And speaking of highly publicized events, the Independent Fashion Bloggers Conference was held on the 8th February in New York.  Advice was given from a host of successful  bloggers and tickets sold out fast!
