We love any girl who adores sparkles as much as we do at Glitter Guide, so it’s no secret that we’re big fans of Grace Atwood, the voice behind Stripes & Sequins. Grace’s blog is the perfect combination of fashion and beauty inspiration, personal style and DIY projects, all with a sparkly twist. And Grace herself is just as darling as her blog. We love how passionate she is about her work, and how much fun she has with fashion. Oh and we’re also totally envious that Grace, who handles social media for Bauble Bar, has access to so many gorgeous accessories!

Tell us about your blog, Stripes & Sequins and why you started the site?
Stripes & Sequins is a hodgepodge of fashion, lifestyle, beauty and DIY. I have so many interests that I sort of just write about all of them. Honestly, I had no idea what I was doing when I started the site nearly four years ago. At the time I was working in a very corporate environment. I spent my days making PowerPoint decks and crunching numbers and was pretty unhappy at work. I just wanted to have a little place to share inspiration and things I loved. I had no idea that blogging could turn into a business, or all of the interesting things it would lead me to.

hi mandy! it is NARS heat wave. and old standby ;)
I love this feature I love her blog and style so much and read it daily.
thank you!
I love the Glitter Girl series and it’s great to see detail shots but I find it frustrating that you never show bigger shots to get the feel of the whole space or room. If I want to get a feel for how the fabulous Grace Atwood lives I want to see more than just her glass table. I can see that on her blog any day.
This is not to say I didn’t enjoy the post, just a suggestion! xo
hi there! I’m sorry that we didn’t show more shots of the whole space / room…
Grace I am so sorry! It was a just a suggestion for GG – sorry you felt the need to share this personal info online. Wishing you the best and a new space that you love and that immediately feels like home!
No worries, I just wanted to let you know bc it isn’t GG’s fault! x

Love her! I’ve only recently discovered her blog, but I think she has such great style. And I hold her personally responsible for my addiction to all things BaubleBar.
aw, thank you… I’m so happy you like my blog + BaubleBar (not the worst addiction to have… ;)
Ohhh one of my favorite bloggers! Grace, you have my dream job as social media manager for Bauble Bar. As a jewelry blogger, nothing could be better than that! ~ ashleigh

Amazing feature on Grace. Not only is she incredibly talented and stylish, she’s also super nice – someone you would want to be best friends with! It shows in everything she does. Love this glimpse into her world!
aw, Lauren you are so sweet! this comment made my morning! xx
Great feature on S&S!! I have been a loyal fan of hers for over a 18 months now and Grace also does a great job in keeping us ladies updated on beauty trends for hair and make up too! 54 comments on Glitter Guide is kinda a big deal….just saying ???
aw, thank you beth!! I’m so happy to hear you like my site :)
GRACE!! I love this feature and you!<3

my heart just skipped a beat – LOVE the Lulu Frost necklace! Thank you Glitter Guide for bringing Stripes & Sequins to my attention, Grace you are a girl after my own heart and I look forward to reading your blog sat at my desk here in England :-) xo
Love how Grace styles her coffee
Could you tell me where you found the feather prints in your office? Oh, and the lip print? Thanks :)
Hi K, both came from Furbish Studio… but they don’t sell them anymore.
The Feather Print is by Sarah B. Martinez, and she has an Etsy Shop here: https://www.etsy.com/market/Sarah_Martinez
And the lips, also on Etsy here… the artist is THEAESTHATE. https://www.etsy.com/listing/108614822/16-x-20-lips-watercolor-giclee-fine-art
So great Grace!! xo

I just LOVE this feature! Grace is one of my favourite blog ladies; she is so sweet, her style is always spot on, and she shares my sparkle addiction. So of course I’m not at all surprised that her house is equally gorgeous!
