I thought I would shoot a very simple look for you guys this week, with my long black cloak coat. This was a firm staple at the start of the year and I'm eager to start styling it again. There are many variations of this coat online and a really great piece to have for Autumn/Winter.
Jacket - Levis | Crop top* - In The Style | Jeans - Topshop | Trainers - Nike
This is when I feel most comfortable, when I'm in my favourite pair of jeans, favourite trainers, a cute crop and an oversized vintage Levi to cover up. This is my perfect attire for this time of year and a winning casual girl-skater look.
I believe everyone should own a Levi denim jacket, I have two. A medium wash denim and a light wash one. Something else you all should own.. is one of these In The Style crochet crop tops. They are so pretty and come in all different beautiful colours. I have this burnt orange colour and also a beautiful mustard colour. I think I would quite like to get my hands on the white one next :)
Let me know what you guys think to this 'super casual' look and what is your favourite outfit?

Hi guys, how amazing are these glittery orange flares? I wanted to style them quite casual for a Summer time vibe. I love this outfit.. I have on one of my favourite go-to tees by Illustrated People, I popped on a statement necklace and sliders and I was good to go.
I think the trousers worked really well with black and if you are looking for something eye catching but comfortable to take away with you or to wear to an outdoor event or festival, then I would definitely check out this pair online.
To complete the look I would just throw a studded black leather jacket on top and a fedora!

How amazing is my new Pauls Boutique bag??? Perfect for Spring/Summer time! I am currently collaborating with PB this year and I have two exciting bags to show you guys from their new SS'15 Range online.
First up is the bright yellow snakeskin Hattie Bag. A unique duffle bag in a show-stopping colour. I fell in love with this bag when I saw their Lookbook back in January. I always tend to play it really safe with accessories and bags etc, I normally go for black and white, but this time, I really wanted a stand out piece to add to my collection and one that would last all year round. I knew this bag would be able to bring the wow factor and pop of colour to any outfit, something I was most definitely lacking.
The Hattie bag is such a popular choice and comes in various other colours, if yellow isn't your preferred choice this year. What also drew me to this style of bag, was the attention to detail and the grundgy/gothic accents. The bag itself is snakeskin textured, the draw string is black (which is a bold look against the yellow) and there are gun metal details with a strong statement Pauls Boutique plate on the front. This adds great edge to the bag and why it was the perfect choice to suit my style. I tend to wear quite a lot of black, so this bag is a great transition into me growing towards more stand out pieces.
I have styled mine with some ripped black trousers from Topshop, a black crop top and my Nike sneaks. Keeping it super casual for a day out or a shopping marathon with my mum, and this is the perfect accessory to funk things up. It is such an amazing size too, as it doesn't look too big, but yet it acts as a bucket for your entire life!!
Simple tip to create a new vibe to most outfits, is the use of details and accessories.. throw on a bucket hat which is always a key look. Then a choker and some funky socks, grab your Pauls Boutique Hattie bag and you are good to go. To shop the site click here!
Keep an eye out for my Part 2 of the PB Hattie Bag... where I style it for an evening occassion.

Hi Guys, I'm so happy to tell you all that I am collaborating with Motel Rocks again with their NEW Sian Dress in Sun, Moon and Stars print! Oh and also an amazing GIVEAWAY.. but you will find out more as you read below!
I love that it's monochrome, as you can honestly style this dress so many different ways. I love how the bottom is more like a skater skirt and the top part of the dress looks like a halter neck top. The best part to this dress is the back though!!.... It has two fine straps that cross over the back, revealing a tasteful amount of skin and the perfect transition for a night time piece. It's great to really layer this up, as the days and evenings are still super cold, but once you take your jacket off in a restaurant or bar and reveal the back, it's sure to be a head turner.
I decided to style this moon print black and white number with some sheer tights to fight off the cold and keeping up with a key trend from last year, I have decided to brave the socks and sandals look for the start of March. Motel Rocks is known for it's unique take on style and girly dresses that still manage to scream grunge and glamour. This is something I strongly wanted to convey in the styling of this post.
I have on a small black suede and sheepskin jacket and my new amazing faux fur scarf from Missguided. This seemed the perfect Wintery accessory to go with the Sian Dress. It is three different shades, it goes black, to grey to white and it is super big and super comfy! I love how this scarf has the ability to make a small jacket or coat look bigger than it really is and almost part of the outerwear. You can style this so many different ways and it adds such texture to any outfit. These colours will go with anything in your wardrobe. Use the descriptions above to link you to all the sites!
Oh, before I forget, get an Exclusive look at Motel Rock's Brand New Spring/Summer'15 Collection is this video below..

Please head over to my instragram page and instructions of my new Giveaway will be posted frequently, or just search for 'glitterandgrimes' on the app.
I obviously still think I'm on holiday and want to casually walk round the house in flip flops during the Winter. I am all ready for Spring and want it to start getting a bit warmer to kick me into touch, so I can start 'kick'ing the junk food out.
I have on my fave black ripped trousers from Topshop, a checked shirt which everyone should own, as it's the perfect layer or cover up as the days get warmer. Oh and a simple crop underneath, as these trousers a fairly high waisted.. otherwise you wouldn't catch me wearing a crop top and having everything on show! (it's just not right it ain't classy)
