Monikh…Fashion Girl Crush.

Just another day in Quarntine, relentlessly scrolling away through pinterest, fashion & style related obviously, when by pure happenstance I stumble across this brown skinned babe who’s picture I immediately clicked to discover whether one pin would lead to another showcasing her impeccable style.

Evidently, I have been living under a rock as after further investigation uncover she is a writer for whowhatwear and stylist who goes by the name of Monikh.

I love including WOC in fashion on my blog to inspire those interested and also as a collection of people/ images who inspire me.

I would describe Monikhs style as casual on the one hand with a sprinkle of glam. Top that off with her glowing skin and you have a recipe for success. I love how all the shades she wears really work well with her complexion as this is something I am currently working on. I’ve been looking at women with brown skin and seeing what colours work for them, so I can implement those same hues into my own wardrobe. Shades like browns and greens are colours I have not gravitated towards however see how they work well with a melanated complexion.

As well as her fashion Monikh also has snippets of her minimalist styled home. For those who didn’t know Ian interested in all things arts and design and interiors is a great passion of mine also so I’ve included some snaps from her insta. You can find Monikhs page here.
