Feeling Blue.

As far as colour is concerned, I’m definitely more reserved. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I do have the occasional pop of colour, but on a whole it’s pretty monotone. With colour being very trendy of recent years It doesn’t seem to be something I’ve fully Indulged in. Of recent however I have noticed myself being drawn to one colour inparticaluar. Pink has always been a favourite colour of mine although it took me a while to realise it, the evidence pointing towards a favourite pink leather purse which was used to obliteration. Colour has an interesting affect on our psch and there is psychology behind this, studies show that many humans prefer colours from a shorter wavelength spectrum this means colours like blue as opposed to red. Blue has a calming effect on our minds which may be the reason we tend to prefer it over other colours like red and orange. I have tried red and it was just too overwhelming for my little ol’ brain. Well If you havent guessed by now the colour in question is indeed blue, inparticularly cobalt blue. I find this colour creeping into almost every clothes search favourite of mine that it’s most definitely becoming a trend. So I’ve collated my favourite cobalt blue pieces from my cart to share with you. As always these pieces are all pre-loved.

Really love the relaxed feel of these wool trousers as there from VB you know the quality will be great. The vintage levi is a great original piece that you wont see anyone else in.

Silk is my favourite fabric so an edgier colour adds a great statement to any wardrobe. I feel like we all love a ribbed anything so the jumper is a no brainer. The dress, which is also by Whistles has a lovely classy summer feel whilst still serving looks with its hue and pattern.

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.
