Twinkle Twinkle Little Star- Calista Diamante

'Be the most beautiful one' Well you certainly will be with the beauties that are presented to you from Calista Diamante!!! You will NOT be disappointed!!

This sparkle store has been set up by the gorgeous Ruth & her partner Scott.
Like me, and every one of my girls, Ruth is a girlie girl & loves Sparkle, Glitz & Luxury. Like I say, who doesn't!!

Beautiful Twinkle Toes- Birkenstock

The Essex beauty started crystallising after she wanted to give her Converse shoes that extra girlie look, and the rest they say is history!!

I discovered this hidden gem whilst on Twitter & quickly hot footed it to Calista's eBay shop, what I found left me with Crystals spinning in my eyes!!!

Right on for the summer, when it decides to grace us with its presence, Stunningly sparkly Birkenstock's!! These are nothing like I have ever seen before!! I have a pair of 'hot pink' Birkenstock's & now they look boring so they might need to wing their way for a holiday to Essex!! :)

What really had my eyes twinkling was the Converse which created Calista!!! Again, a pair of shoes I own & that are now sitting in the wardrobe looking sorry for themselves. The crystals on the toes on the iconic shoe, makes them look fit for a princess!!

Princess Pumps- Calista Converse

After the twinkly trainers, I thought I'm blown over by these delights, whats next!!
I remember last year when I was looking for a pair of shoes for my wedding, I wanted a 'traffic stopping' pair of shoes to go with my dream dress.....boy I wish I found the creative Calista then!! THE most to die for heels, not only are they 'Dusty Pink' but their heels are encrusted with elements of Swarovski Crystals....I could feel my little heart starting to race as I click the item description & the picture zoomed in!!!!! (I think my heart may have actually stopped for a second!!)
If your anything like me you will too have drooled at the window of Dune shoes.....but these beauties are just breathe taking.

Heiress Heels

Killer Crystal Princess Patents

By this point of Calista Diamante shop I could see my bank balance would swiftly disappear, as so far I had viewed four products & wanted them all!!
However, the dynamic duo saved the best til last......... They say diamonds are a girls best friend, well...... I would say that another best friend would be a pair of Ugg Boots.
I don't know a lovely lady that doesn't own a pair of Uggs, I practically live in mine.

As I clicked 'Uggs' on the store, it was like everything went in slow motion & its was like in the movies when music begins to play when people run through a field of corn.....

Amazing Crystallised Uggs

Wow!!! Now these beauties are fabulous!! The ultimate Ugg boot!!!! Comfy & Sparkly!!

Each of these twinkly pairs are crystallised by hand, each pair is created with love & each unique due to being done by hand. 

Currently Calista are crystallising a pair of heels for the gorgeous Gemma Collins of 'The Only Way Is Essex' and I'm sure there will be most of them to come!!

Calista Diamante have new ideas in the 'crystal-line' & will be revealed in due course.

All that is left to say is how overwhelmed I was at these products & now I need to win the lottery to purchase one of everything Calista do!!!!

So girls what are you waiting for......

Claireabella Designs The beautiful bag lady :)

Well Girlies, I have well & truly fallen in love.......

Being an avid 'The Only Way Is Essex' fan I had spotted the lovely Chloe Sims had an amazing bag with her name on and a fanastic handpainted 'Chloe' and thought I would LOVE to own one myself.

After much searching I unearthed the wonder that is Claire & her incredible Claireabella Designs talent!! 

The Claireabella Designs website is bold, bright, beautiful & most of all PINK!! It has a wealth of information about how to order, delivery information, news & gossip section & pictures of a number of masterpieces Claire has already created, as well as the magnifient Celebrity bags!!

The demand for this amazing bespoke, handmade product line is so great, that the fablulous husband ( Jon, admin aspect) & wife team, are having to limit the number of bags set for release at any one time, as Claire, who is extremely gifted & has a keen eye for detail, only has one pair of hands!!

Claire is going from Strength to Strength with the business & the amount of Celeb Bags is most definately on the up!!!

The latest celeb bag to be released & send amazing 'wow's' through the twitter world, is that of TOWIE Lydia Bright, complete with Mr Darcy, Claire has definately captured Lydia's style & looks to a tee.

Lydia's fabulous bag!!

As well as creating THE most sought after Celeb bags, Claire has developed a Limited Edition section within the website, where from time to time one off, Limited Editions, complete with extra special quirks.

When Claire released pictures of the Limited Edition bags on Twitter, I feel in love with on in particular. The anticipation for them to be released on the website was too great & after 2 days of waiting, Claire released a tweet saying that her partner in crime, hubby Jon, was updating the website with them. I frantically ran upstairs with my hubbys card & logged onto the site. Shaking with excitement I clicked add to bag & secured myself the most amazing Claireabella bag!!!

Here it is my beautiful Claireabella

Other Limited Editions that have been released have included designer 'Vera Wang' dresses & themed bags.

Geek Chic Limited Edition

Vera Wang Inspired Limited Edition

Mini Claireabella Designs

As well as these amazing Limited Editions, Claire has started to release Mini Claireabella Bags for the little princesses in your world!! They have the cutest designs on them, Im sure any little girl would love to own them.

Fran has worked her magic on me on a number of occasions. I had previously been a nail extension girl, but since the end of 2010 & a visit to Polished, Fran well & truly had me hooked on 'Bio-Sculpture Gel'

Bio Sculpture is a natural nail overlay, that goes on top of your natural nails encouraging growth also keeping you nails healthy. Even the shortest of nails can be Bio Sculptured & transformed into beautiful nails. As well as this, it is a permanent colour, therefore no chipping or changing nail varnish for up to 4 weeks!! How Fab is that!!! With an array of colours & finishes, Polished will have something to suit your needs!! 

Recently added to the collection the most AMAZING glitz glitters, which of course I have succumbed to!! Guess what I absolutely love them!! Fran has definitely excelled herself!!!

Glitz Glitter Bio Sculpture Nails

Another amazing service Fran & Polished have to offer is the up & coming HD Brows.

HD Brows are a high precision process whereby which your eyebrows are literally transformed!! Previous to visiting Fran for this service my eyebrows were shocking!! So  much so my mum said I permanently looked surprised!!! Fran recommended that the process can take approximately 3 sessions, at £25 a session I thought it was well worth a go. After around 1 hour the transformation was amazing!! My previously 'contant surprise' face was gone & I had THE best brows I had ever had!!!  I have now had the full 3 sessions & my brows are fantastic!! Polished was one of the two first salons in the North East to offer HD Brows therefore is very experienced in this field also!!
