AMA MONOCHROME MAGIC!!

Well another week another American awards show but we wouldn't have it any other way!  How else could we check out the wacky, the wonderful and the weird outfits of the stars and call it work?  

Today we're blogging about the VMAs little sister, the AMAs. That's the American Music Awards, yes, it is another, only slightly different music awards show from the US of A.  No, not the MTV Music Awards or the Grammys, look - does it matter?  Aren't we talking about the dresses anyway? 


It seems like all the colour was left to the stage because the red carpet was a monochromatic masterpiece of incredible black and white.  
Here are our top picks from last nights American Music Awards:

Miley's white Tuxedo....


Christina and Nicole both rocking white with sexy side cut outs... 



The Jenner sisters rocking separates in style...



Bonnie McKee couldn't decide on which so she wore BOTH! 


Ciara.... I mean.. no words....gasp...gorgeous!


Ke$ha.  Well.  It's pretty good.  For Ke$ha...her hair rocks!


Naya Rivera the shy little wallflower...


And our favourite by far......

The one and only RIRI!


No one else could possibly compete with that.  Except maybe....

her Mum!


Also rocking the black and white trend - how awesome!!!!

Annndddd.... we're out!  See you next time!

OMG!  Far too long between Blog posts but I can tell you why...

We've been busy bees working away at our Summer 13 Shopalog!  

We're totes (yes we just used the word 'totes' but we promise to retire it soon)  obsessed with Pinterest, so our Summer 13 Shopalog is inspired but this amazing virtual scrapbooking phenomenon - here is a sneek peak at a page in progress...


A collage of all things we love about Summer, fashion and friendship.  

It's also the launch of the latest addition to Birdmotel, the opportunity for you to 'Shop your mood'! 

 That's right, we know that we like to express our feelings through our fashion and one day we might feel pretty and feminine, but the next we might feel edgy and cool.   

Birdmotel object to people and companies who try and put is in a box style-wise and tell us what we should wear.   We know every girl is a combination of lots of different styles and likes to rock different looks on different days.  

We firmly believe that if you love it, wear it.  

Since you love it you'll feel amazing in it and that confidence is the most beautiful thing in the world!

New York Fashion Week

WAKE UP!  Wow, that was a long rest between blogs!  Well no more snoozing, it's time to get back in the saddle, so to speak, we're just bursting with inspiring images we want to share!

New York Fashion Week, are there any other combinations of four little words that evoke such excitement, such anticipation and those special butterflies in your stomach?  Well maybe 'go get the ice cream' but that's a whole other blog.  Seriously, have you ever tried Gelato Messina on Crown St in Sydney?  Oops, digressing...

New York Fashion Week (or NYFW as we'll call it from here on in as let's face it, that's a lot to type) is simply the most 'cool' fashion week of them all.  Paris has sophistication, London has creativity, Milan has opulence, but NYFW quite simply has cool.

Here are our favourite looks from NYFW......

London Fashion Week: Burberry Prorsum Ready-to-Wear A/W 2013





Animal prints, floating hearts and the classic and reinvented trench coat was on display from the iconic British brand.  Christopher Bailey, chief creative officer of Burberry, aimed to mix classic and sexy with his French Kisses collection, hence pencil-cut skirts, large animal prints, translucent rubber, plasticized leather and dress-accentuating metal pieces.



The show may have missed Valentine's by a few days but sharing the love is never too late.



The dangerous side of Burberry on display with leopard print and snakeskin fabrics.


The classic trench coat with metallic accents. 


And the reinvented coats.


*Kate Beckinsale and Rosie Huntington-Whitely were in attendance.  Tom Odell performed his single Hold Me.
