The Florentine Dress
Cut from a breathable linen-cotton blend, the Florentine is the dress that takes you from an Aberystwyth afternoon to an evening out without a second thought. Relaxed enough for a coastal walk, considered enough for dinner — it's the piece our stylists keep reaching for this season.
Independent. Passionate.
Thoroughly Welsh.
Shop at Stars opened its doors in the heart of Aberystwyth with one simple belief: that every woman deserves to find clothes she genuinely loves, not just clothes that will do. Over sixteen years, we've grown into one of West Wales's most beloved independent boutiques — but the spirit has never changed.
We travel to trade shows, hunt down small-batch designers, and build real relationships with the brands we stock. Every rail in the shop is a reflection of that care. We're not a department store. We're not a website with a warehouse. We're a boutique — and that word means something here.
Come in for a browse, stay for the chat. Our team knows fashion, knows fit, and genuinely wants to help you find something you'll wear with joy.
Personal Styling
at No Extra Cost
We believe great style shouldn't be a luxury reserved for the few. That's why every customer who walks through our door has access to the same thoughtful, knowledgeable advice — whether you're after a whole new wardrobe or simply not sure what to wear to your friend's wedding.
Book a dedicated appointment and have the boutique to yourself for an hour. Tell us about your life, your wardrobe challenges, and what you wish you could wear — and we'll do the rest.

Brands We Love
A mix of independent designers and established favourites — chosen for quality, ethics, and wearability. We're always discovering new names alongside the labels you know and trust.
Plus many more. Stock changes seasonally — visit us in store or get in touch to ask about a specific brand.
Style & Inspiration
Fashion should tell a story. Browse our seasonal lookbooks for outfit ideas, styling tips, and a glimpse of how we're putting things together this season. From coastal casual to polished evening dressing, we shoot everything against the backdrop of this extraordinary part of Wales.
Each lookbook is shot locally — on Aberystwyth promenade, in the university grounds, in the hills above Ceredigion. These are clothes made for real life in a real place.
Loved in Aberystwyth
"I've been shopping at Stars for years and it never disappoints. The team genuinely knows their stuff, and I always walk out with something I'd never have picked myself — and then can't stop wearing. It's the only boutique I'd trust with a 'help me find an outfit' situation."
"Booked a styling appointment before a family wedding and I cannot recommend it enough. They pulled together a complete look — dress, shoes, jewellery — that I wouldn't have imagined on my own. Got so many compliments on the day. A genuinely wonderful experience."
"The best independent boutique in Wales, full stop. The stock is beautifully edited — you can see that every single piece has been chosen with care. I drive over from Machynlleth specifically for this shop. Worth every mile."
