ESTRELLA BELLA BOUTIQUE

Estrella Bella Boutique is a bespoke fashion boutique based in Swansea. She offers unique dresses that are made to order. They offer a huge range of designs and fabrics that are made to measure so they'll fit you perfectly. 

As you all know, I am a sucker for princess dresses and absolutely love pink and sparkly suff. (I do think I was a magpie in a previous life) When I found this site, at first I was in awe, then in amazement. These dresses are gorgeous! 

These dresses are perfect for those special birthday, wedding and parties. Her prices are around £50-£150 - for handmade custom sparkle, I think thats fantastic.

I have no special event coming up but I might just buy one so I can pretend to be a princess for the day. 

I thought I would share my favourites with you.

These last 2 dresses are my absolute favourite, I absolutely love the silver and pink together. 

You can find these beautiful dresses from these links. She currently doesn't have a website but is working on one which i'm super excited about.

DANCING IN THE MOONLIGHT

As i've said in a recent post (Here) I have really been liking galaxy print. I've been looking at galaxy print jeans for a while now and have seen some from Topshop and River Island. It was pure chance that I found these in H&M. They were the only size left - must be fate! I have decided to style these really simple otherwise I think it looks too messy. I wore these with my trusty Uggs and a chunky cardigan. I also wore these in the evening with the same top fully tucked in and black heels. I think this gave a really classy yet fashionable look. 

Im not normally a trouser or jeans kind of girl yet apart from the ridiculously long length of the leg, these jeans fit really well and are super comfy and fashionable for me to wear. These are defiantly at the top of my statement wardrobe selection.

Oh and excuse the garden, I am only a student!!

FEELING LIKE A PRINCESS

I love feeling like a princess. That might sound a little spoiled but I just like the feeling of putting on a dress and feeling amazing and pretty. I found this dress, and I'm not going to lie, It makes me feel amazing. I love it and I cant wait to get some wear from it. This is a Topshop last season dress yet I feel its very on trend for SS13 because of the floral pattern. Because its black, its versatile to wear to formal events, parties and dates. I think this is my new perfect LBD.

CELEB BOUTIQUE DRESS

Valentines day was very special for me, obviously spending the day with the people I love and also receiving something truly amazing- I am a very lucky girl. I put this dress on a wish list not long ago and obviously someone got a hint! 

This dress is from a site called Celeb Boutique which I'm sure most of you have heard of. I love all the dresses there and now I've had my 1st, i feel like I need another! This dress isn't on the site anymore but there are plenty similar and just as gorgeous on there so defiantly go have a look.

First of all, all I could notice was the colour! Its so bright (I love coral) and just so gorgeous, I actually squealed a little bit. The fabric itself is thick and sturdy - it almost feels like armour when you hold in your hands, but when i slipped into it and zipped it up it felt so well fitting and sculpting yet light as a feather on. It shows off all my curves in all the right places. 

I cant wait to wear this out with the girls or on a special night out. 

Did you get spoiled this Valentines day?

And a big thank you to Jenny who took my photographs.

FREE AS A BIRD

I got this dress over summer and have worn and worn this with and without tights, with boots and with a leather jacket. I find it so versatile and love wearing it on nights out and during the day. As the sun has been out recently (which has made me super happy), I decided to wear this today, I love the pattern and colours and the fit of this and I think it is perfect for my shape. 

I have been working hard at uni still and I'm trying to get everything done as soon as possible. I am really enjoying learning and studying different fashion trends for SS13.

I had a fantastic Valentines day and I cant wait to show a very exciting few outfit post for you.

LOVE ACTUALLY

The worst thing about Valentines day is being single - the 2nd worst thing about Valentines day is being in a relationship and feeling the need to buy something for your special someone on that day. Valentines day for me can become a stressful day instead of its original purpose - to show love to the people who mean a lot to you. This Valentines day, I'm not going to let the stress of the day get to me and just let the people who mean the most to me, that I love them and appreciate them.

To show all my lovely followers how much they mean to me, I organised a photo-shoot with my friend Jenny (who's blog link is here) to wish you all a lovely day. 

Me and jenny have decided that we will do photo-shoots for my blog every Friday which will give a more professional look to my blog and help improve our photography skills. Plus I think it make the clothes look nicer.

Make sure to tell people how much they mean to you, It might make their day!

WISH LIST OUTFIT

Its been my new years resolution to dress much more classy and sophisticated as I think it will give me a sense of maturity (I am 20 now yet sometimes I feel I dress more like a 17 year old). These few pieces I have picked out are so versatile. I absolutely love the floral dress and think it will be great for spring time.

WEEK IN PHOTOS

These past few weeks I have been knuckling down on my uni work. I am aiming to give myself plenty of time finish my sketch book and complete my photo shoot so I have loads of time to retouch them. I am also doing a very exciting photo shoot for my blog on friday which will be up next week after I finish retouching them. I promise I will start back with a better routine for my blog but obviously uni makes it hard to have free time.

VALENTINES DAY NAILS

I've been searching for creative ideas on how to have my nails for Valentines day. I've been looking at heart designs a lot and found this amazing way of creating perfect hearts.

| What you'll need - 2 nail varnishes, plasters and scissors |

Thats it! I found it so easy to do and had great results. I was so happy how it turned out and will defiantly be trying this out with different colours, maybe 2 shades of pink.

Have you tried any new nail art looks recently?

BLACK AND WHITE

Monochrome is a style thats been coming into fashion a lot recently, Ive spotted it in high street and high end fashion. Im not one to follow fully fashion styles but I love to take small influences, styles and colours into my own wardrobe. 

Below is my own take on the monochrome style. I haven't gone full out with the black and white but I love the style and colour of this jumper. Its so comfy and simple yet keeps me right in fashion and up to trend.
