Let’s get Tilly
May 16, 2011 § Leave a comment
One of Motel Vintage’s signature styles is the Tilly Dress. A forerunner in lines of years and seasons gone past, we still can’t get enough!! Remade from luxurious vintage mens shirts, their shape seems to glide with the times enabling plenty of looks all in one dress. Peter pan collars and nipped in waists!! What more could a girl need in a daytime dress!?.
A checked Tilly would look great for a 90’s Seattle Grunge look, especially in the darker colours. Add killer heels and fishnets to grunge up your Tilly. Whereas the lighter, pale textiles work really well for a Darling Lolita outfit. Adorable with long socks and box handbags! Striped Tilly’s always look super vintage when worn with leather brogues and a leather briefcase. Why not be daring and try a pair of retro glasses too! Super geek chic, we love it! If you delve deep enough in the vintage treasure chest, you’re sure to find an abstract retro print that Summer would have a hot Hawaiian flush at the thought of! Phew…. I hope you’ve been taking notes ladies…
Here’s some ideas of how you could wear your Tilly Dress!
We love them all. Find yours today at

No one can deny that this seasons nailart phoroar is one of the funest hobbies to have! Now obviously being a Vintage Girl and all that, we have to be careful not to let our vintage facade slip! The easiest way to do this is to go with classic Vintage Vixen red nail polish with a simple black design.
Try Polka Dot for retro

Or something a bit more funky for an 80’s look!!

“OO Behive”
May 9, 2011 § Leave a comment
We stand by the logic that fabulous hair is the icing on any vintage outfit. This week we’re loving all things 60s…. Big Beautiful and Bold Beehives. For the maximum supreme beehive, backcomb from the roots or use a bumpit (best invention since hair Ghd’s!), leave a layer of hair smooth and straight to cover the backcombed ‘hive’ , secure with plenty of hairspray and have plenty of fun with clipping, waving, curling, quiffing, twisting, fringing the front!!!
Here’s some classic beehiving that we love…!

Embossed Leather

Embossed Leather Shoulder Bag
We love embossed leather and when this boho treat came tumbling out of our new Vintage Bag delivery there was a choral gasp of delight. We’re thinking that this is the must have festival bag of 2011 and here’s 5 reasons to prove it!;
-
It will fit all of your festival essentials in, mirror, hand gel, suncream and if you’re lucky a can of drink too!
-
Festival boho is going to be BIG this summer, so team with a floppy brimmed hat and maxi for the ultimate festival ensemble!
-
Brown is a no-failer when you’re romping round in mud all day long!
-
The over the shoulder strap will ensure that no-one will be thiefing your titbits!
-
Embossed leather bags are becoming increasingly rare so you’re sure to be style spotted through the crowd in this vintage wonder!
We’ll be posting this and other divine vintage treats onto our NEW and shiny Vintage site faster than you can say “It’s vintage darling”!!

Knock out Ginger

After a bit of light hearted banter that was flying around Motel Vintage Towers today, I felt that as a natural Red Head of sorts, It was my duty to step up to the challenge that was inflicted upon me and to show that really Red, Auburn, Ginger, Strawberry Blonde, Carrot and whatever names may be hailed upon us, Red Head’s are the only true vintage conquerers!
Just this once I think it’s safe to say that the proof is in the biscuit rather than the pudding. (No points for guessing which biscuit)
