MOTEL MEETS: ZELLA DAY

Picture the scene…you’ve landed in Arizona surrounded by nothing but miles of incredible, mountainous scenery. There’s a light breeze warming your face and you’ve got Zella in your ears. Bliss… That’s exactly where Zella Day takes us with her music, right back to her home where it all began. Now living in LA and quickly becoming the hottest singer and style icon around, we chat with Zella to get a glimpse into just what makes her so unforgettably AWESOME!

Zella’s style is comfortingly laid-back. You will often spot Zella rocking ethereal prints on flowing fabrics, a look that we at Motel are swooning over. Her hauntingly good

cover of The White Stripes, “Seven Nation Army” got everyone talking and helped contribute to her increasingly large following. Her new single ‘East of Eden’ is proving to be just as contagious. Frankly, we’re finding it quite difficult to switch off…

We’ve definitely caught the Zella-bug! To emulate Zella’s hippie chic style, why not check out our Motel Vintage section?
