I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have

I am taking a little break from my spending splurges. This is still a 'new items' based post but luckily this time, I didn't have to spend anything. (ok, apart from my train tickets - does that count as spending?) I finished my Motel Rocks internship last Thursday. As mentioned, I was only there for 5 days as this is all they could offer me until late December. I got the contact through my time at Boudoir as Natasha moved from Boudoir to MotelRocks.com just two months ago when the brand decided to take PR in house. This meant the office was really small as their main team is based in Bristol.

My duties mainly included sample send outs and celebrity gifting which meant immaculate gift wrapping service. I also booked couriers and dealt with brands to help out with goodie bags. On my last day I got to look into venues, caterers and activities for an upcoming blog event. I loved this bit and I think I  have learnt I would like to focus on event planning.

I was so lucky to receive a thank you gift from Natasha and the team for my time there. Here are some of the goodies! I think the turquoise dress would have been perfect for holiday - maybe this is a reason to book another? And the purple is such a gorgeous colour that I will definitely wear it on a night out on the town. What do you think? Thank you Natasha and thank you Motel!

Has anyone else done any internships? I always love to hear about them!

Much love, Katie xx

Motel Rocks - it really does!

Another day in the life of an intern. Yes, I have bagged up another placement slot, this time at leading online retailer MotelRocks.com! I am only at the London office for five days but am very thankful for the opportunity. Not only have I met some more lovely people, gained some more experience, I have also rediscovered a little love for the brand.

I  remember Motel being such a hit with me and my school friends due to the ready to wear party outfits and vibrant prints. I don't know what really happened, I think I grew out of it and sadly forget about Motel but after being back around the brand I can honestly say they have some great pieces in that I am up for letting my spending fingers loose on. The brand are really starting to get noticed as a leading online retailer, so keep your eyes peeled as I am certain you will see a lot of it in your mags soon.

The brand has some big names supporting the brand such as Pixie Lott, Jessie J and recently Nicola Roberts and Tulisa. My internship has meant lots of rummaging through the rails and the website, wrapping and gifting pieces for celeb fans and returning samples - giving me a great chance to see the new stock.

I have pulled together a few of my favourite pieces from the 'New Arrivals section'. They all seem to be very monochrome based but these items stand out to me most. I think they are some of the most wearable pieces yet are still eye catching. I think they also give a more mature feel to Motel than before yet are still playful.

Go have a look and let me know your favourite. I know I definitely 'want' some of these!
