What would you wear it with?

I Love Wildfox

Hi beautiful, today I am going to give you all the reasons why

I Love Wildfox !

1) The story....

Every range from Wildfox is lovingly created around an entire narrative including that not only inspires the designs, but includes the models chosen (muses), the campaign images, and the overall look and feel of the collection.

Check out pieces of 'Daisy Girls' and 'Angels Off Duty' here and you'll see what I mean!

You Called? Retro Raglan

2) The Comfort

It's hard to explain but once you wear a Wildfox tee, baggy beach jumper or swimsuit you'll know...and you'll be addicted for life!  There is something so unbelievably soft about their fabrics, it's like slipping on your boyfriends vintage Tshirt - but in a super pretty design!

3) The Mix

Few designers combine both cute and sexy so well.  Wildfox always include an element of cheek to their designs, so they're not only pretty, but also give you that little bounce in your step when you know you look hawt!

4) The Creative Director

Kimberly Gordon, one of the two Wildfox co-creators, is still the creative director of the brand, and she's awesome.  

"Inspired by friends, love, camping, dreaming, riding around in cars, driving along the coast, beautiful books, witches, poetry, movies, faeries, dreams, Los Angeles, and the earth, I hope to remind people to be wild, have fun, and get lost in their dreams."

Read her blog I Love Wildfox for some awesome inspirational images!

5) The Quality

It's so amazing to know that not only are Wildfox clothes made in the USA, but Wildfox pride themselves on respecting their employees.  The quality truly shows when you put on a Wildfox garment for the first time, and the hundredth time too!

And finally

6) The Fans

I am not someone who likes an outfit because a celeb has worn it - but it's hard to ignore the fact that so many super stars who have their pick of all the clothes in the world choose to wear Wildfox!  Check out some super stars wearing Wildfox below!

Happy New Year beautiful!

I'm sure everyone has packed away the tinsel, taken down the tree and is firmly entrenched in the first week of our new year resolutions.....right?

Well we'd like to encourage all you beauties who made a resolution to walk your own path this year.  To embrace your own look, to ignore all the 'rules' of fashion and simply wear what you LOVE!

Feeling edgy?  Why not rock a fashion forward piece?

Faubourg Du Temple Rouen Overalls

There are NO RULES when it comes to fashion and wearing what makes you happy so take this year by the heels and rock your own look with confidence!

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!

Luv Birdmotel xo

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!

Holy Cow!  Did you know you can save up to 75% on Fashion at Birdmotel right now??

75%!

That's right!  75%!  That's cray!

Get in whilst stocks last!

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......
