Estrella Bella Boutique #2

This is the second of the dresses I'm reviewing for Estrella Boutique (you can read the first post here)

This stunning jewelled open back skater dress is called Elsie.

I really love this dress, its completely different from the first dress I reviewed, I think this one is much more girly. Its so pretty and the back kinda makes me feel like a fairy! The beaded detail on the front is so on trend for Autumn/Winter 13 and its so amazingly done. I think the fit and style is absolutely gorgeous and skirt is so pretty. I really love skater skirts and this one is no exception! The colour is a beautiful royal blue colour which is flattering for so many skin types. However, As Jo (the owner of Estrella Bella Boutique) makes the dresses,  it can be made in any colour you wanted - I would love to see what this dress looks like in a baby pink!

Boux Avenue WestQuay Store Opening

I was kindly invited to go to Boux Avenue's store launch in Southampton WestQuay. I absolutely love all things pretty and this store definitely ticks that box! From the moment you walk into the store you are instantly hit with glamour and class. It just feels so luxurious and expensive. I pretty much fell in love with everything in the store and can't wait to use my student discount here! The changing rooms where the highlight of the store, with light setting, assistance bells and proper changing rooms (with doors not curtains!) I felt like I was being well looked after. 

I can't wait to have a proper look around now its all up and running. I can treat myself after finishing all my deadlines and uni work and maybe even buy myself a little christmas present!

I've been given the amazing opportunity to review 5 dresses for the lead up to Christmas. 

These Dresses have been handmade and custom made by the lovely Jo at Estrella Bella Boutique. 

This beautiful lace appliqué skater dress is called Victoria Ivy.

I actually gasped a little bit when I first looked at this dress. The detail is absolutely stunning and the quality is amazing. The flattering way the lace detail is positioned on the top is so lovely and is such a statement. Im surprised I actually really like the high neck of it as its not normally my style. To feel like a princess you need a skater skirt. The skirt attached is so voluminous and just so pretty, I love how much it sticks out. I feel so classy in this dress and wish I could have worn it out somewhere, you could easily wear it to a Prom or Christmas party.

Leather and Studs

| Dress Miss Luxe £12.99* | Shoes Newlook £25 |

Being in my final year of uni means a lot of work and not much social life. However it has been really nice making time for leaving the house and having fun with my friends. I wore this dress on a night out a few days ago and I really love it. I love a classic LBD but this dress has a few added extras. I've been too scared of embracing the leather trend this season however this dress has really cute leather shoulders with studs on it which add a nice edge to the dress. I also love the cut out at the back, its really flattering. I love the simplicity of it. it will definitely be worn more over the next few months.

| Jumper Newlook £19.99 | Jeans Newlook £19.99 | Boots Newlook £24.99 | Bag Ebay £16.99 | Necklace Newlook £7.99 | Nail polish Barry M Dragon Fruit £3.99 |

Im sorry for the lack of posts, My uni wok has increased massively and I haven't had much time to blog at all. This is just a quick posts to show you what I'm loving at the moment. I really love pink and have been seeing a lot of it around which I haven't before. 

I really love this pink jumper, I really like the shape and fit of it and the colour is such a gorgeous candy floss colour. This handbag is amazing. It looks like a copy of the mulberry willow back which I saw on their recent catwalk. I found this beauty on ebay for only £16.99 which is a steal compared to the Mulberry price. Might have to invest in this for winter. I think its such a good way of injecting a bit of colour into your winter wardrobe.

Pink and Lace

| Dress Miss Luxe £44.99* |

I have a few exciting events coming up around the Christmas period and have been looking for a few dresses to wear. Luckily, Miss Luxe kindly sent me a few pieces. I chose this gorgeous Chi Chi dress and i'm so happy I did. I love the pink full skirt teamed with the black lace top. It's such a classy and elegant dress. My favorite part of the dress of course is the detail on the back. The bow is absolutely adorable! I can easily wear this dress with plain black heels and a simple clutch, the dress definitely is the focal point!

Back at Uni

Every time I go back to uni I forget to do normal things and it seems to get me ages to get back into the swing of things. I guess I have had a really long summer and been doing lots of things. As this year is my final year of uni, the stress of work has been instant and I have deadlines before Christmas. 

Since moving back to uni, I have moved  into my new house, gone out for freshers events, eaten lots of food and attempted to start uni work.
