Mark Ronson’s new hair cut has certainly been making waves in the news today with his new platinum barnet. We all know he loves a bit of Twitter action but getting a video done documenting the whole procedure is a bit excessive even by celebs standards (see the video below!). But we do think it has a striking resemblance to our Jenna’s haircut? Mark have you had some style inspiration from somewhere?
Tell us what you think?

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!

Working for Motel defiantly has it’s plusses! Being surrounded all day by amazing garments i love definatly has to be up at the top! So I thought I’d share my two favourites pieces that I have not stopped wearing this season!
I’m feeling more and more summery as the days go bye! When the sun appears… it’s definitely time, in my books, to whip out the bold and bright statement pieces!
These two pieces are definitely at the top of my list – The amazing sunny kiss graphic just shouts summer, festival fun to me and it’s so easy to wear! I chuck it on over, jeans, shorts, skirts or anything i lay my hands on in the morning! It’s a loose fit so comfortable in the heat or when out with friends and looks great as a layered item under a cardigan and denim jacket for the cooler evenings! Here i have on some Jeffrey Campbell peep toe wedges and a plain black old school Motel tube skirt!
My other favourite has to be the Camilla Dress in Sunset Palm! I am just all over this print!! This dress is an instant summer hit. Here i have thrown on with a long cardi and my Jeffrey Campbell army style wedge boots. The great twist to this dress is the additional off the shoulder straps which make it a great day to evening dress with the minimal effort and i always get compliments on the striking colours of this dress. I also own the bodice version too, which looks super hot with torn denim hot pants and big sunglasses! Now the Zoe version has been featured in Vogue magazine, this is sure to sell out fast!
Everyone here in the office loves to hear about your favourite season pieces… so why not head over to our facebook page upload a picture of yourself and tell us why you love it so much!!

Ever wondered how to style your hot new motel dress? Well here’s the answer for Spring/Summer 2010; clogs!
Clogs are hot right now, ever since the high priestess of dressed down chic Alexa Chung was papped wearing these little Chanel bad boys, people have been going crazy for them… Obviously we don’t all have the budget for the amazing catwalk versions, but that doesn’t mean inspiration can’t be taken from the likes of Louis Vuitton and Miu Miu .
High street clogs are popping up all over the place so be sure to grab a pair for the perfect summer update. Check out the motel coming soon section to grab the perfect summer dress to go with this hot new shoe trend!
