No outfit is complete without this perfect accessory. In this mini heatwave we’ve all had good reason to get out the shades and basque in the sunshine. No matter what your style, everyone owns a pair.
Here’s some of our favourite spec-tacular looks (pardon the pun) that we couldn’t help but notice, even if the sun was in our eyes
Anna Ewers rocking a pair of Gucci sunglasses
The modernista look is never complete without a pair of round framed glasses
One of the fashion industries most recognised figures, Anna Wintour, taking us back to the 90s with an oversized jumbo pair
There’s nothing like being dramatic, and that’s why these 60s style glasses are always a personal favourite. With their over-sized frame and block colour, you can’t help but stand out
Translucent glasses have become widely popular this year. I think its easy to say this accessory is to express your inner bohemian, rather than its actual purpose of protecting against sunlight but I love it
Drew Barrymore giving those rebel festival feels with her petite framed shades
I hope you feel as inspired as we do here at The Stellar Boutique! Why not check out our sunglasses range to discover a blast from the past and add that missing touch to your outfit
We had a great day on Sunday at Judy’s Affordable Vintage Fair in Chester! The weather was perfect (although a tad chilly!) and brought some wonderful people from far and wide. We had a steady stream of customers at The Stellar Boutique stall. We had a great array of vintage clothing on offer and some of our favourite garments were sold to special homes, which made us super happy!
We got to meet some fellow vintage stall holders, and the atmosphere at the fair was so friendly and fun. Stella was in her stall holder element, whilst Hannah was able to hone her barrow girl skills. We were able to spread The Stellar Boutique word with some great flyers, and we can’t wait to welcome some new faces to the website.
We met some lovely people and had fun handing out flyers. Here’s some photos of just a few of the many great moments from our day:
It was that time of the year again when festival-goers came together in the California desert to enjoy the atmosphere, see some bands, and show off their individual, and often far out, style.
Coachella saw more than 100,000 people attend the 2-week celebration and was commended this year for its diversity. Queen Bey spoke to the crowd at the end of her set; “thank you Coachella for allowing me to be the first black woman to headline”. Her virtual crown stayed put even after a fall whilst performing with her sister, Solange.
In other news Ariana Grande made a surprise appearance at the festival, singing her new powerful song, ‘No Tears Left to Cry’. Marilyn Manson joined rock band X Japan to perform an Eurythmics cover. Other artists performing included Dreams, a band featuring Silverchair singer Daniel Johns, melodic rockstar St Vincent, ethereal folk band First Aid Kit, Californian sisters Haim, funk-pop comeback kid Jamiroquai, electronic rock band Pvris, and indie folksters Fleet Foxes.
Here’s our edit of some of the amazing celebrity and boho street style looks that have inspired us at The Stellar Boutique:

So Coachella has come to an end and, once again, kick starts the festival trends for the summer ahead! With an A-list line up of artists including Guns n Roses, LCD Soundsystem, The Kills, Bat For Lashes, The Last Shadow Puppets and DJ’s Sasha and John Digweed (the list goes on), the music alone is enough to give you festival envy. But still, rightly or wrongly so (I can’t decide), it seems to be the revellers fashion choices that attracts the most attention, side tracking from the music, Coachella has become more infamous as a festival fashion parade!
Coachella is the closest thing the USA has to the UK’s ultimate music festival Glastonbury, the only thing that’s guaranteed to be better is the weather!! So with that in mind, celebrities and festival goers alike can really make the most of showing off their summer style. Bohemian–Hippie (with an added dose of sex appeal) seems to be the unwritten dress code. Long floaty dresses, grunge rock Tees, denim cut-off’s, floppy hats, coin jewellery, 70’s flares, Janis Joplin style sunnies, tassels, lace, crochet, tie-dye, and flower child head dresses are the apparent uniform!
Think ‘contrived Woodstock’ and you’ll get the idea!
My only hope is that these fashion concious beauties forget the fashion show and really get down and dirty to enjoy the music as the sun goes down! That’s really what it’s about after all!
Having said that, I can’t help but love some of the festival style on show each year at Coachella, so here’s a look at some of the best of 2016’s fashion tribe…..
Now, fashion show aside, here are a few of my fave pics from Coachella that remind us of why music festivals are so damn special! That feeling of freedom and ‘anything goes’, the electric energy and a vibe of ‘oneness’ that can’t be beaten no matter what you’re wearing!
