OPEL WREN blog post

opel wrenopel wren 1As you all know I love online shopping and am happy to waste away hours searching for the perfect items on eBay, but  when searching for the perfect fringed jacket recently, I came across ‘The Stellar Boutique‘, it was a real find as the online shop is filled with vintage treasures and genuine Moroccan accessories. I fell in love with every single one of the bags and couldn’t stop myself mentally designing a new flat filled with treasure from their home section.

I checked out the about me section of the website and was fascinated to hear more about Stellas life, so I got in contact with her and wanted to share this amazing woman with you guys. The shop was created by owner Stella as an outlet to showcase designers and artists from around the world, she is pretty much living the dream, living in a hippy farm house in the Spanish countryside with in her own words ‘a menagerie of dogs, cats, goats, sheep and chickens’.
After graduating from University for the Creative Arts with a degree in fashion design in 2000, Stella went on to design for Topshop in London; assisted at the Times newspaper’s fashion department; worked in visual merchandising for Levi Strauss and Marks & Spencer; and spent time as a stylist both independently and for the BBC. With such a huge range of experience under her belt, she was able to successfully launch her own label in 2002 which was sold in Topshop, Oxford Street amongst others. She spent 3 years on her stall in Portobello Market, selling hand picked vintage to the likes of Stella McCartney and Kate Moss, being able to count Kate Moss as one of your regulars is a huge achievement and something I am very jealous of!
She has spent the last 10 years working in the fashion industry and travelling the globe collecting treasure which has provided the inspiration for The Stellar Boutique, I love this idea because I am such a hoarder I love to pick up bits and pieces whilst away in the hope that one day I could use them. I wanted to share some of my favourite pieces from the website, you can the website out here and I hope you like what you see as much as I did!

Hand of Fatima

We’ve been seeing this symbol everywhere right now, there is a Fatima hand frenzy in the fashion world!

The hand of Fatima, also known as Hamsa, origins are unknown but it predates Christianity. A universal sign of protection, it is a talisman symbol and those who wear it believe it will protect them from harm against evil forces and bring them goodness, abundance, fertility, luck and good health.

It has evolved to become regarded as a sacred and respected symbol in Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Shamanism, Jain beliefs and now in the new religion of Fashion!

We’re seeing beaded bangles, long pendant necklaces and the symbol on boho bags all about town. where did the trend come from? Who knows…. in these unsafe times are we superstitiously looking for protection or are we just following a trend some celebrity started by accident? The later is more likely we think, but it looks so good we don’t care!

Summer Accessories Collection 2013

Time to stock up on your summer accessories!

Some new additions have been added to our summer accessories collection and are now available to buy from The Stellar Boutique.
Specialising, as usual, in all things vintage, retro and boho we now have some great sunglasses, jewellery and bags brand new in store.

Whether it’s for that fast-approaching festival, a summer holiday or those everyday summer occasions, The Stellar Boutique
is here to help you prepare.

We have some lovely round-framed, 60s style sunglasses in a selection of colours and patterns. Such a classic design is a must-have
this summer, not to mention the additional ‘cool factor’ due to the instant association with John Lennon. If round frames aren’t your thing
we also have a selection of butterfly-framed sunnies complete with multi-coloured 80s design and some gorgeous can’t-go-wrong wayfarers
in a variety of colours. All complete with 100% UV protection, banishing that summer squint in style.

Also fresh in-store, a selection of vintage-style, boho and tribal jewellery to complete your summer wardrobe this year. Ranging from long,
flowing boho-style feather and pendant necklaces to the chunkier Aztec pieces, we have some brilliant and interesting new items.
Make a statement with our beautiful body necklace and tribal style bracelet-and-ring combinations.

Finally, to carry around those summer essentials (whilst looking the part too!), check out our new bags and rucksacks.
We have a great take on the classic satchel, using elements from the Aztec design (which is just about everywhere in the fashion world right now)
and combining it with the neon colour scheme of the 80s. As well as looking original and standing out, this is a great practical bag which can be
dressed up or down. If you are of a more casual persuasion, we have two new rucksacks available, perfect for festivals and summer adventures.
A gorgeously embroidered thick cotton-feel rucksack to complete that tribal style outfit or a stonewash soft denim rucksack for that retro 80s influence,
the choice is yours!
