Angel Armogida Launches her Blue Moon Dress Collection

My friend Angel Armogida who you might be familiar with because I'm always mentioning her Youtube beauty channel has been a busy bee for the last few months designing her first collection of beautiful dresses and launching her business.  

I'm so proud of her - she's done everything from scratch from designing and making the dresses, designing all the branding, packaging, website and modelling, photographing and videoing the collection. PHEW! That's the fun stuff, she's also been registering her business and bulldozing through HMRC, Company's House and bank bureaucracy.  It's been a long journey but I know it won't be long until all her hard work pays off!

I'm delighted to show you her handmade in London creations and if any of them take your fancy you can buy your size, or a custom size, from www.angelarmogida.com.  Make sure to like her Facebook page too for special offers and free shipping codes.  Here's to supporting British creativity, design and business - why not treat yourself or a loved one to a made to order hand crafted dress?

She's got more collections coming up, but for now, take a look at these beauties:

Angel Armogida makes elegant evening gowns & beautiful dresses for ladies all over the world. Every dress is handmade to order and attention is paid to every detail. Her unique dresses are carefully designed to flatter and every dress is finished with Swarovski crystals to add an element of glamour. 

The Blue Moon Collection features three dresses named after Moon Goddesses, Luna (Roman), Selene (Greek) and Freya (Scandinavian). Each dress is made of beautiful satin to represent the moon's reflection and the colours chosen are colours of the moon and sea. 

Luna, the Roman Moon Goddess is represented in a modern, thigh skimming royal blue cocktail dress with flattering Swarovski embellishments.

Selene, the Greek Moon Goddess is represented in an elegant, silver floor length ball gown with beautiful Swarovski waist trim detail and a train.

I've seen this dress in the flesh and it is truly stunning.

Freya, the Scandinavian Moon Goddess is represented in a sea green and silver sequined number with thigh length slit and generously adorned with Swarovski crystals.

Packaging is important. Each dress is carefully wrapped in quality black tissue paper before being packed in a durable storage box tied with black satin ribbon. Every box has the name of the dress spelled out in rhinestones. You will be so impressed, you'll even want to keep the swing tag!

 

Angel is also offering affordable website/blog/business advertising on her website.  You can get 50% off advertising by using the discount code CLICKAD50 - so a 120x120 ad can be just £2.50 per month! Bargain.

Style | Ode To The Studded Heel Boot: Primark + Office

Left to my own devices I would dress like an early '90s Lesbian biker chick every day, however since I have a somewhat sensible job I have to limit my fashion tendencies to a few butch studs here and there and this season has served up a cornucopia of studded items, these pairs of boots being two of my top picks.  

Black faux suede boots with silver heel studs - Primark, £18

These boots also come in camel but I think if your feet are anything over a 5 they're just not flattering.  I take a 6 in these and they come up pretty large as I'm normally a 6.5.  They do feel a little clumpy and do not look great with a skirt (unless you've got super skinny legs and tiny feet) so I wear them with black skinny jeans.  I've walked miles in them and have very sensitive feet, so I am very impressed with the comfort level.  They're an utter bargain for £18 -  would you sit there and apply all those studs for £18? ...yeah I didn't think so! I'm just trying not to think of the sweatshop these were probably manufactured in and if you are as morally bankrupt as me, these boots are a great bargain option for a huge trend this season.  I've seen them on a stack of people, so if you don't mind lemming it, hotfoot it down to Primark pronto as these are dancing out the door sharpish.

Office Neptune Stud Cognac Boots - Link, £70

I'll say straight off that for PU (fake leather!) Office have quite a cheek to slap a £70 ticket on these, but they are pretty gorgeous and a less butch/in your face nod to studding than the Primark boots.  I missed out on the first batch of these which tailed off around early February, but due to popular demand Office ordered a huge new consignment and they're still in shops despite being out for months already.  The 6 is a little tight but loosens up after a few wears.  They also come in black with silver studs, but the Cognac version look more expensive and stylish methinks.  

They're great little boots - why not whack them on your list for Santa!
