♡ Motel Rocks: Gabby Sequin Mermaid Dress...This is LOVE. ♡

Happy Friday Babes!! We've been busy beauty princesses in the beauty lab this week but finally managed some time to edit the massive amounts of photos we took of this gorgeous Motel Rocks Gabby Sequin Dress or what I like to affectionately refer to it as the Mermaid dress!! Have you heard of Motel Rocks? It's one of my favorite places to go window shopping online and ooh and ahhhh over all their gorgeous fashions and accessories. I just looooooove this company.

♡ABOUT THEM♡

Established in the late 90’s, Motel was created after the brand founders set out on a road trip of freedom, discovery and fun across the west coast of America. Inspired by the indie vintage shops and various thrift stores dotted along the Californian coastline, the Motel designers set about bringing these looks to the British consumer and carved a unique niche in the marketplace. Fifteen years later and Motel is now a leading Brit fashion label renowned for offering unique prints, form fitting silhouettes and trend-setting styles that are loved by fashionistas, style icons and celebrities across the globe."

♡THE DRESS♡

They are most definitely my kind of brand. I love that they're based in Britain! There seems to be some gravitational pull...that or it's just an awesome sense of style...that keeps pulling me over to the lovely land of England for fashion and lingerie. I HIGHLY suggest you check out their site. They have excellent customer service and shipping as well.

So here it is in all it's sparkly mermaid glory! I LOVE this dress. It's perfection. I got it in an XS and it fits perfectly. No zipper, just step right into it and pull up! You look gorgeous babe. *grin*  Looks like I'm ready for a night about town with this sparkly number which calls for some rockin' music..."If you love it like I love it and you feel what I feel inside...this is LOVE...this is LOVE...Yeah...Yeah..." *wink*

♡ Lingerie Love ♡ Dentelle Etc...

Weekends are for pampering, sleeping in, hot buttered croissants, and divine tea all while in gorgeous lingerie.....don't you agree? I knew you would! I figured the weekend was the best time to put up our very ever first lingerie review! I'm so excited and yet so nervous at the same time! *wink*  (P.S...try reading our blog at a zoom level of 75%...doesn't it seem so much more dainty some how? giggle.... Maybe it's just me! *wink* ) 



This year I wanted to really get more involved with our blog and you our fabulous followers. *wink* We're going to be posting not just about our Beauty Brand Margarita Bloom and the lovely products we have to offer but we'll be talking about all the things I'm currently loving or in love with from wonderful movies I just can't wait to see, to the current fashion items I'm obsessing over, and even lovely reviews of all kinds of brands that we love ranging from and never limited to beauty brands, lingerie, food, and anything else we can think up with our pretty little minds. *smiles*

As well as doing all that one of my New Years Resolutions that I haven't done yet was to do something that would take me out of my comfort zone, something completely brand new and that I've never done before. Yes, I'm still following through with my New Years Resolutions even though it's February and usually by now I'd have thrown in the towel...lol... How about you...are you still following through with your New Years Resolutions and what are they? ♡



I'm completely flinging myself out of my comfort zone...more like skydiving right out of it as I'm going to be modeling these delightful pretties!! So please be kind!! To give you a little back history about myself for the longest time I've had body image issues...it seemed like all my life I'd been overweight & unhealthy and trying to overcome it. Well, about two years ago I finally made my one big New Years Resolution come true...I managed to drop the weight (3o lbs!!!) and start living a much healthier lifestyle! Hooray!! (I'm not going to go into detail here about how I did it because this post is really about the lovely lingerie from Dentelle Etc but maybe in the future I'll do a post talking more about that if ya peeps want me to. *smiles*)

If you had asked me anytime in the past if I ever would be doing this, I'd say no way! I'm way too self-conscience...but now I'm going to love my body, be confident and if that somehow rubs off on other girls and helps them love their body and be more confident then all the better. I kind of think we need to start a revolution of loving our bodies, to be healthy, confident and happy with how we look. Don't you all agree? So here we are with some gorgeous luscious lingerie to review sent to me by the lovely Christina El-Hawi, founder of Dentelle Etc... based in England.  She has several different styles available that you can mix and match together but ultimately I decided to go with the Onyx Soft Bra and Knickers. Lately I seem to be drawn to a lot of bloggers and brands that originate from the UK like Christina's and with good reason...they have fabulous taste. :) It's so very pretty and fits me quite snugly. I adore the pretty bloom pattern, don't you? It also has a bow in the back which is sooo darling except of course when you have to tie it yourself! lol... It's so pretty you don't need to pack it away for just one special occasion say like Valentines but you can wear it every day to make it your very own special occasion. You might want to opt for a willowy blouse with this bralet though as the bow does hamper wearing anything skin tight but that's not really an issue with me. *wink*
I'm so happy I found Christina's lovely brand...
I'm in love with her lingerie and I hope you are too.
