CELEB BOUTIQUE WISHLIST

     As a lot of you know, I love to dress up and go out. I love how certain dresses make you feel and act. My celeb Boutique does just that - It makes me feel fantastic! It pulls me in at all the right places and shows off my curves. I know its scary to think, but for me, when september comes around, Christmas follows stupidly fast. I think its because I concentrate on Uni work too much to notice the months going by. I would really love another Celeb Boutique dress before my 21st. Hopefully one for my 21st! They are opening a store and the end of the year in Westfield which I'm super excited about. 

Here are a few of their dresses i'm lusting over at the moment. If you click on the dresses it will take you straight to the link.

       

                    

I love these bottom two dresses, I think they're so different and so flattering! these are definately my top contenders for my 21st!

Whats your favourite Celeb Boutique piece?

FCUK DRESS

As I said in my last post - My family went for a meal out to celebrate my Sisters 16th Birthday. As I wasn't there for the actual day (stupid uni) we decided to do something special all together. We went for a lovely meal out and ate some lush food. It was such nice weather during the day so I opted for something summery. 

I bought this dress on sale from the lovely Dolly Bow Bow's fashion site - Fashionate. On here she is selling her preloved clothes. This FCUK was brand new with tags at such a bargain - £40 instead of £110! I think its going to be my prfect dress for summer. I have been able to wear it casually with sandals and more dressed up with heels. I have a 21st birthday party which I think this is going to be perfect for. I love the pattern and the fit is so flattering.

OASAP DRESS

As all my uni work is done for the summer, I went back to the little village I call home. Its such a massive contrast from a busy city to here but I enjoy coming here to relax and spend time with family. This weekend was surprisingly nice, I thought it was a perfect opportunity to wear my maxi dress from Oasap. Its just the right length for me to wear (Im only 5"3). I love how its fitted at the top then falls nicely from the hip downwards. I added a bit of colour with my H&M scarf, denim jacket from Primark and nude accessorise, Primark bag and Newlook sandals. I had such a nice relaxing day in the sunshine and now off for a meal to celebrate my sisters 16th Birthday. (outfit post coming)

Hope you enjoy the bank holiday weekend

LIPSY PROM DRESS

Prom has hit the UK hard and my litter sisters prom was no different. She has had her nails, spray tan, hair and makeup, corsage and a fancy car to take her to the event. With all that aside, I am so proud of her finishing school and working so hard with her GCSE's. 

The most important part of her prom for all of us, was her dress. The dress needed to show her personality and make her look like the princess she is. We found this beauty in Lipsy. Its so gorgeous its unreal. The sparkles and the fit make it perfectly age appropriate, its just so pretty. Unfortunately my sister, like all the girls in my family have the short gene, so it was hard to find a full length dress that fitted right. This dress is the perfect length for her and shows of her gorgeous (and freshly spray tanned) legs. I know this dress isnt online anymore, but there are plenty more gorgeous similar dresses on the Lipsy website.

I personally think my sister looked perfect for her special night and Im sure she is going to enjoy every second of it. 

Have any of you got a Prom to go to this year? 

HOW I STYLE MY CELEB BOUTIQUE

My Celeb Boutique is one of my most expensive dresses I own, that I wish I could wear more. I love this dress so much and its so flattering to my shape and size. I love how it makes me feel so classy.

I have worn it out on nights out a few times with my leather jacket from Topshop and heels from Miss Selfridge. Recently I bought a denim jacket from Primark which I think works really well with the colour of this dress. I teamed it up with my rose gold sandals from Primark too. I think this would work really well in summer for days out with my Zara tan shopper bag and big sunnies on. 

Heres the link to my Celeb Boutique blog post HERE

Im so glad i've found a way to maximise the wearability of my beloved dress. I cant wait to wear this over the summer months - if we ever get any! Im off for a long needed trip home to see my family then off to Zante with my girls - I cant believe its less than a month away now! 

DEBENHAMS SS13 FASHION SHOW

So I was lucky enough to be invited to the Debenhams SS13 Fashion show in Southampton. All the outfits were styled by the gorgeous Corrie from Dizzybrunette3. She styled 4 key season trends for us - Monochrome and Samba, Rivera, Festival and Holiday and The Wedding. I loved how all the models came down the escalator to start! Here are a few pictures from the event and my favourite pieces. 

These two were my absolute favourite dresses from the fashion show -

the lime dress link is here and this gorgeous maxi dress which I think I may need for my holiday is here.

Thankyou so much Corrie for holding such a lovely event and inviting me to it! 

I had an amazing time and met some other beautiful bloggers. 

PRETTY DRESSES

When i'm sad I like to go on the hunt for pretty dresses. Its my biggest weakness in life, my wardrobe is full of gorgeous dresses I only wear a few times. Here are a few picks that I have hunted down from Topshop, H&M, Miss Selfridge and River Island.

On another note, I still have a few things on my blog sale if you would like to look.

WEDDING/PARTY OUTFITS

With summer coming, there are so many more parties, weddings and events coming along. WIth this come the dreaded question 'what to wear'.  I know I always struggle with outfits for events when I want to look smart but casual and pretty at the same time. Hopefully with the summer coming, you don't have to necessarily worry about the weather and dressing warm, but id always suggest bringing a cardigan in your bag just incase. These two outfits i've put together I think would be perfect for a wedding, prom or family events.

Have you got any nice events to go to this Summer?

WHITE DRESS AND DENIM JACKET

So in the UK, we got a glimpse of summer for a few days and I certainly took full advantage of this. I obviously went straight to wearing my white dress, I bought this with visions of wearing it in summer with a jacket. I bought this jacket from Primark for £16. I found it surprisingly difficult to find a cropped jacket in this light denim colour but i'm so glad I found one. I think its super flattering and pretty which compliments the dress perfect. The sandals are primark too for a small £4. I decided now was the perfect time to use my Ted Baker bag which is in a gorgeous baby pink colour which brings the whole outfit together. I cant wait to wear this outfit more over summer. Hopefully we'll get some more weather like this.

Hope you've been enjoying the sunshine!

A FEW WEEKS IN PHOTOS

As my uni year is slowly drawing to an end, I can focus more on blogging and more outfit posts. I haven't really had enough time at the moment to blog about anything in particular so I thought id show you what i've been getting up to in the past few weeks. I had a week of uni which was lovely and it was so nice to get away from my uni bubble and breath! I just need to keep it together until the end of the week and then I'm done until september - bliss!

FLORAL DRESS

This sunny weather is making me fully change my wardrobe choices. I want to add more pattern into my wardrobe and make more of a statement in what I wear. I should of been writing my essay today but I went out for a mooch to the shops and spotted this gorgeous dress. It isn't cheap unfortunately, but thats the way my life seems to go. I love the style, fit and colour of it. I might have to make a cheeky purchase of this when I get some money. I think this would be perfect teamed with a denim jacket and sandals in the summer.

STEAL HER STYLE

I'm not one to copy celebrities and their clothing choices but I do love seeing celebrities in high street brands. It has purely been by chance that I've managed to own a few pieces that some well known people have also been seen wearing. 

The Zara Shopper bag was such a craze last summer, I think everyone had one. I still love mine and use it all the time for uni, its so handy having a bag you can fit everything in.

I love Holly's style, she has such a gorgeous figure and I always love what she wears. I was actually so happy when I saw her on celebrity juice wearing my dress - but she looked way better in it than me! 

Daily mail is a slight addiction of mine, I stumbled across this article a day after I ordered this coat. I was unsure if I would even like it because of how it was styled on the website, but after seeing it on Caroline Flack I knew I made the right decision. It looks so summery and classy, I love how it can make an outfit. Excuse the awkward photo of me on the last one, I wasn't really paying attention when it was being taken! 

I have been enjoying the weather so much recently and cant wait to fully finnish the year of uni so I can enjoy the summer relaxing with special people and doing exciting things. I actually cant wait!

Hope you've all been enjoying the sun!
