Aztec Poncho

S'up Glammiess?! 

Your'e probably cringing at the thought of a poncho right now(or thinking of mexican people if you're me, you know -the colourful kind matched with a massive sombrero)but this kinda of poncho is the good kind...it's sort of like a cardigan but still cosy and loose enough to be a poncho in one way or another. Could I say poncho anymore?? 

I've had it for a while now (stolen from one of my sisters) but it's definitely a staple piece from Autumn through to Spring in my wardrobe, in fact I'm quite late in posting something about it! It's perfect as a top layer to replace a coat, but still thin enough to wear under a coat on those chillier winter days...It's earthy and warming tones go with just about anything, especially an all black outfit if you wanna liven it up a bit. 

I highly suggest getting your hands on a polo neck-so in season and SO warm! Also a trendy pair of heeled ankle boots are in order, suitable day and night of course ;) I literally can't get enough of mine!  

Anywhooo, here's just a casual Saturday outfit, nice and cosy and protective from the icy Brighton air, the leather jeans definitely pick up the look to make it less boring and more dressy for one of those running errands, having lunch and a bit of shopping kind of days... Plus it's all about that side zip detail ;) 


Sorry bout the lighting, I am currently trying to work out some better quality photos but no promises as of yet! Photo Credit to Vienna though! 






Jewellery was just a low hanging necklace: Neat yet effortless! 



The quality of these pics don't do the boots much justice, however you can just about make out the snake skin pattern on there, love love love!

Love is in the air...

It's almost Valentines day Glams!!

Valentines day seems to be growing bigger each year and I feel like there’s more pressure to go out on dates and spend so much money on flowers and gifts, when really, if you strip back all the commercial stuff it’s just a day to show your appreciation towards the one you love and to me that just means spending time with each other. That's just what I think anyway...

Howeverrrr, when it comes to fashion I think its a time for  you to go all out and join in with the theme! Whether you have date night with your partner or a night with your girls, on Valentines day its always okay to pull out the big guns! So, I’ve been looking around on a few of my go-to sites and have put together a few looks that I think would be suitable for this special day. From full on themed outfits to more subtle pieces, the websites are filled with dozens of items for everyone’s unique styles so definitely check them out! Or go through your closet and dust of something cute ;).


Here’s to the day that celebrates love and appreciation of one another!

Nasty gals do it better...This is a cute way to stay cosy and spread the love as a day outfit from nastygal.com. 


This fun, feminine and flirty look is from miss selfridge is a little more subtle when it comes to the Valentine's theme!


 I loovah this dress and jumpsuit! Gold detailed accessories are the perfect match with both of these, as for jewellery-You barely need any! Courtesy of Boohoo . com <3 


If you're really trying to go full on this valentines I think this is the number one look from ASOS, its clean,romantic, and a bit of a tease so will definitely be suitable for the occasion! A red lip is absolutely in order!



Now this is my favourite look of the selection, it definitely doesn't scream valentines day so it's probably more suitable for those that aren't into the whole theme thing...I'd wear this on any other date night, that bag!! Missguided takes the cake with this look! 


Happy Valentines Day! <3

Blogs & Winter Trends

Hey hey!!

Anyone else still writing 2014 in their dates?! I am and it's driving me nuts! 
What a crazy start to the New Year its been, but deadlines are finally out the way (for now)and I've had a bit of down time to have a look at some of my favourite fashion bloggers' winter outfits. I know what you're thinking...and the answer is no, I don't always only get my fashion inspiration from Kim ;P 

With the weather being too wet and rainy to wear anything other than a jumper, jeans and biker boots I haven't been able to take some photos myself so I decided to pull my four favourite winter looks from my blog browsing. From knee high boots to thick woollen jumpers and furry coats, these bloggers know how to rock the current trends and I just LOVE what they've done!


Have a look for yourself, and don't forget to go check out their pages! 



OUTFIT #1: Tienlyn Jacobson from 'Thoughtful Misfit' looks incredible in her neutrals, wearing similar colours is quite daring but she plays around with texture and the style and fit of these clothes making a clean and classic look. Not to mention those to-die for boots!!http://www.thoughtfulmisfit.com/blog/new-neutrals 

OUTFIT #2:The simplicity of this cream ensemble is gorgeous! A really striking look paired with that beautiful golden clutch I think Carli from 'The Fashion Bybel' looks like a complete goddess, she's definitely someone I love to follow, fashion and make up-couldn't get any better! http://www.thebeautybybel.com/2014/12/sweater-weather-3-outfit-ideas.html

OUTFIT #3:'Song of Style' is a blog by Aimee Song which I only just  discovered a few days before writing this. I'm so in love with camel coats (style trying to get my hands on one) and again she's paired it beautifully with the sweater dress and knee highs. I would've used a less bulky bag and maybe added a simple delicate necklace to just give it that extra 'pah-zazz'!http://www.songofstyle.com/contact 

OUTFIT #4:Last but not least is more of a daring look, I'm not usually a fan of coloured faux fur coats but Portuguese blogger Sofia Reis totally turned me! It's such a fun,versatile and edgy look. Amazing! I also only just discovered 'Mexiquer' a few days back, why did I not see this before?!! http://mexiquer.blogspot.pt/p/the-blogger_19.html
