Check out this hot new shape from motel! The celia dress is a super hot way to wear the graphic print trend and will get heads turning. Wear it out with some huge heels and look fierce! We love the mesh panel in the back, and sheer fabric is oh so this season.

Big on the blogosphere.

July 28th, 2010 — 8:31am

It’s that time of year when even though its still in the heat of Summer and all we can think about is relaxing, sipping on our cocktails and being by the beach (we can wish for all of this!); Autumn collections have started popping up across the fashion radars. We may be still yearning for a bit of sunshine and beach action but if you want to be one step ahead of the game its time to look to the trends that will be dictating our wardrobes. Here at Motel we are of course very exciting about our Autumn collection ( we personally think it’s a modern mash up of glamour mixed in with a bit of punk kick). Here’s the latest blog coverage we have had on our gorgeous collection firstly from chic UK bloggers Style Sage , they loved our new prints!

American sweetheart blogger Style Funkshion has seen how hot our new collection is and that we are featured in Jeffrey Cambells Fall 2010 Look Book.

Hot Italian bloggers Illamenabo have also loving our punk-glam 80′s style.

We all know the Swedes for their uber cool style and thats why its great to see them loving our Autumn collection, catch this at FashionSquad.com.

Fashion bible’s Elle & Vogue often mention Fashionising which is hub for every fashionista and our lush dresses have certainly caugfht their eye.

Some blog’s just ooze coolness and style and NY bloggers.

Keep your eyes here for the lastest coverage.

Shop Girl to Stylist

July 23rd, 2010 — 3:49pm

Love The Hill’s? Project Run way? We are keen followers of both at the Motel office, well you need something to fill up your Sunday afternoons with don’t you! Anyway Elle’s latest competition premise was similar to these programmes, it consisted of scouting the nation’s retail talent to expose its hidden talent for a prize of all prizes, an opportunity to style a fashion shoot for Elle, a six month internship and mentoring from fashion director Anne-Marie Curtis.  Of course the competition was fierce but  they finally managed to whittle it down to 25 fashionista finalists who all displayed their work in front of an intimidating panel of judges, featuring editors from Elle and fashion blogger sensation Susie Bubble. The next 10 finalists will be announced shortly. The pressure is on now so good luck to you all!

To check out the lastest check out the Elle website .

Motel’s Weekly Press Update.

July 22nd, 2010 — 9:00am

Everyone wants a bit of Summer loving! Well get yourself in on the action with our fab garments that have been gracing all the hot magazines this week. Our French Kiss Dress that was seen the shirt dress section in Look magazine this week. This dress is great as it’s so versatile you can wear it casually to work or do it up and hit the town. Its a bargain at £20.

One word wow. How hot did Holly Willoughby look in our Pamela Dress at the ITV Summer party earlier on this month? It’s not just us who thought so, everyone wanted a piece of her in that outfit. Unfortunately it has sold out but we have an alternative the just as gorgeous Goldie Dress, it has the chains down the back of the dress instead with some power shoulders too!

What’s also been making quite a stir this Summer is our Sunset Palm print! Its our very own bit of Club Tropicana. So grab yourself a bit of tropical paradise and be whisked off to a scene of crystal blue seas and white sand beaches (we can all wish?!) The Zoe Sunset Palm is a great body-con dress as can double up as a top if you wear with your favourite denim shorts, just add some heeled clogs and your a hot number! Get it quick before it goes.

One garment that is making a huge presence but in a small way is the return of the shorts. They are still this season’s must buy having been spotted on every fashion conscience celeb from Alexa Chung to Pixie Geldof. Whether they are thigh high or knicker skimming they are defiantly making their presence known.  So kit yourself out with the cute culottes in Rose Garden Navy Azalia’s spotted in Closer Magazine. They will certainly see you through any occasion in style. Remember to check on here for all our latest Press coverage ladies!
