There’s nothing better on a warm and sunny Spring day than walking in Notting Hill with the most talented photographer in West London to do a urban fashion photo shoot. Spring brings me always lust for new clothes, new colours, new styles and more space in my wardrobe for different dresses. I never thought I would look good in urban fashion outfits with my hourglass figure but Aida Llanos made me feel really special and captured the best of me. She is definitely my favourite photographers of all time: so talented, so creative and yet humble and kind. I wouldn’t have chosen anybody else for this photo shoot.
But also I have been gifted such amazing dresses that are flattering on my hourglass figure. I could not wear everything and look good. I need to be selective and both dresses by wantthattrend and the White stuff enhance the best parts of my body.
Watch this video of the full photo shoot in Notting Hill:
Now, you are probably wondering where you can get these urban fashion items which are not just gorgeous but also affordable for any kind of pockets.
This dress is absolutely gorgeous and not just suitable for a walk in Notting Hill but equally good for an elegant occasion like the Royal Wedding, a communion (I will wear it on my son’s communion) or even a garden party. It is really soft and comfortable to wear. 
You will get the Wow factor by everybody and nobody will ever guess that it costs only £22.95 from wantthattrend. Other accessories are mine including the vintage pearl necklace and the sparkly sandals.

Marsha Navy Cut out Frill Bodycon
This dress is absolutely flattering for my hourglass figure and is also by affordable brand Wantthattrend and costs only £22.95.
It is more suitable for a party than a ceremony and is a really comfortable dress and despite being contouring the body it enhances your best features rather than showing your weakest parts – my bum does not look too big in this flattering dress at all.
The flaps on the sleeves and below the neck are so nice and make me feel happy. I have named this my happy dress. I will wear it again and again in future to feel good about myself.
I loved this dress so much that I wore it during my recent press trip to Ibiza for a dinner at Atzaro.

This Kala by the White Stuff is perfect for both work and weekends. I am wearing here during the photo shoot in Notting Hill when we stopped at Portobello Road. 
The Kala Dress is soft, lightweight and has a pretty print designed in-house by the White Stuff.
It finishes at the knee and has key hole detailing at the front for a little extra charm. It has big pockets at the front too. I absolutely love it. It costs £49.95 and is super value for money considering it will last forever.
