DAY TO NIGHT | BOOHOO

Anyone who follows me over on my Instagram glitterandgrimes, will have already seen this beauty of a maxi shirt over the last few days. I'm in love with how versatile it is and it is a MUST to take with me on my holiday this year...

DRESSING UP A JUMPSUIT

Loving this weather, it is really needed to lift spirits right now and get people in the mood for the Summer time. I'm one of these people, that need to see and feel the heat creeping on to get motivated to want to eat better and get some ideas for holidays and time out etc. Me being me though, I'm still styling all black..

CHRISTMAS WISHLIST (ALL ITEMS UNDER £40)

Excited about Christmas yet? We are nearly in the month of December and I have put together a little Christmas Wishlist for you guys, some things I have been eyeing up online and things that would make amazing gifts! Oh and they are under £40.. 

PILOT JACKETS

I love this shearling pilot jacket from Missguided. Ever since I first saw the camel coloured one online, I knew they had definitely outdone themselves this year with their new Winter coat collection. As soon as this became available in black it had my name written all over it!

STYLING CULOTTES

Culottes* - Inthestyle | Top - Topshop | Sandals* - River Island | Bag - Warehouse

Hi guys, this is just a quick post on how I styled my new pair of white striped culottes from In The Style! I thought I would do something a little different to the formal way of wearing culottes and give them more of a casual day time vibe. Something you could wear to a gig, festival or even a day out shopping. 

I decided to pair these gorgeous monochrome culottes with an oversized band tee from Topshop, some chunky buckled sandals from River Island and an over the shoulder bag. This look is super comfy, and most of you know that is my number one motto when it comes to style. I also really love how versatile culottes are and just how many different ways you can wear them. I'm considering wearing a pair for LFW!!


I really like the stripe detail of these, they add something extra to an while outfit. They also come in black and orange guys, so check out the site if you fancy owning some here!

CHUPA CHUPS

Top - Primark | Shoes - Topshop | Choker - Forever 21

Hey guys, so I took a few days off to clear my head from social media and begin brainstorming new looks and ideas for my blog and future projects.

I will be making some new tweaks and changes to my blog and I will also be giving my Instagram and Twitter a new feel too. I was wondering whether to start paying more attention to my Facebook page? I didn't really think Facebook was really relevant in the blogging world but it has been receiving quite a few views lately and I'm wondering if any of you fellow bloggers out there find FB successful?

Oh and when all the new changes are done guys, it would be great to know what you think? :)

SWINTER | INTHESTYLE

Items marked with a * were gifted 

Dress* - In The Style | Jacket - Levis | Boots - Topshop | Necklace - M&S

I was reading Grazia magazine today when I came across the word.... Swinter!!!:)

That word, if it's even an official word, it's bloody perfect. It describes the current state of this past month, and also describes the struggle we are all going through trying to find an appropriate outfit to wear. "Why do you have a skirt on, but a jumper in your hand?" "It's Swinter, what do you expect!!"

Ok, enough of that great word I have come across, let's talk more of this beautiful silk mauve/blush coloured cami dress I recently got from In The Style,  I am absolutely in love with it and this colour! I am also giving my readers a special 10% off their website, just keep reading..

Straight away I wanted to pair this dress with some black boots and give it more of an edgier vibe. I love the split detail in the front and this is definitely something I would wear to a blogging event or dinner in London with friends. The dress is super flattering with its soft fabric and can also be style with some sexy heels and a leather jacket.

I am yet to do an evening look with this dress, so please keep an eye out for more!

Jacket - Missguided | Skirt - ASOS | Crop* - In The Style | 

Shoes - Topshop

Another amazing crop top to add to my collection from In The Style. For any of you who follow me on my instagram, will have already seen this beautiful crochet crop top in an orange colour. I can't get enough of them, they are the perfect item to style in so many various ways. This mustard colour is my favourite from all the colours they have available online.

I have paired it up with my denim split front pencil skirt from ASOS. This skirt is a new staple of mine, as it is perfect this time of year to be dressed up or down. I'm really looking forward to styling this in the Winter time with a chunky knit. They have sold out online once before for being the perfect denim choice.

Oh guys, if I haven't mentioned before, you can get 10% off your order online at inthestyle.com with my special code 'MONIQUE10'

Let me know what you guys think to this look below and whether you love the mustard colour with snakeskin as much as I do?...

BELL SLEEVES | SUMMER PERFECT

Top - ASOS | Trousers - Topshop | Shoes - ASOS | Bag - Warehouse | Necklace - Tara Osborne Jewellery

Arghh I love everything about this outfit, I love stylish yet super comfortable and that is what I always aim for. These Topshop pants are quite a few years old now, but camel coloured bottoms seem a great trend for this year, so I dug these out the wardrobe!! I have styled them with my new ASOS 70s inspired lace front top. 

I have had this for a good few weeks now, and they appear to be out of stock online, but lets hope for you guys they get more back in soon because this top is currently the perfect Summer staple and looks great with both skirt and trouser options. Oh and who doesn't love bell sleeves at the minute.

Then I am showing off my new black minimal accessory.... my new bag :) I love finding bargains like this and I picked this up recently in the Warehouse sale. This perfect black leather-look crossbody bag with the high shine hardware on the front is my idea of a perfect simple look bag which you can take out most days!! It is the perfect size if you are on the go and can get things out of the double compartments really easily.

Hope you guys liked it.. thanks for reading x
