Brands I Love: Monki

Brands I Love: Monki




If you couldn't tell already, I'm obsessed with clothes. I love the different atmospheres clothes can create. And lately, I've been noticing a big trend with minimal clothes. I guess the only way to describe it is adding a couple simple pieces together to create a fab look. It also looks really good when you at statement pieces, like a graphic top or a cool bag. One brand that does this really well is Monki. They take the trending "minimal" look, and add their own twist to it, with fun prints and quirky accessories. I personally like to go back to the basics, but I love looking at their clothes—they're so cool. Unfortunately, this rad brand only ships to mostly European and Asian countries, so you can't find any shops in the US or ship through the website. You can, however, get some of their clothes that are available at ASOS, which pretty much ships everywhere.

Click on any of the little pictures to get to their website via Polyvore, and feel free to click on the big picture or any of the links above to check out my Polyvore post and account.

Kate Moss x Topshop Review


Kate Moss has got to be one of the coolest people on the planet. By far. She has a vibe about her that makes her appear to be so elegant and edgy at the same time, which is what I try to achieve every time I put an outfit together. Topshop is home to a good 80% of my favorite pieces of clothing, so when a huge fashion icon like Miss Moss teams up with them to create her own collection, I freak out. WOOHOO!!! I like this collection because they had four different categories and you would take a quiz to see which "Kate" fit you the most.

Sooo I took the quiz to see which "Kate" I am, and apparently I'm under the category of Balearic Dressing. After looking at the clothes under that category, I was not let down. Although aztec prints aren't really my thing, the boho looks are perfect for summer, including a suede dress and some fun paisley print. The crochet dresses are also super cool. This is obviously my favorite "Kate" by the amount of pieces I put into the set.

When I'm not looking like a dirty hippy (not my words, but very descriptive), I like to wear black. And lots of it. Which is why I think the Tailoring Noir category is another perfect one for me. I like them, particularly because you dress them both up and down, unlike the other 3 categories. The scalloped tanks are very cute, as are the frilly shorts. I loved the beaded blouse as well, because it looks like it would also come from the Balearic Dressing category. Also, who can say no to a sparkly suit?!

Because these last two categories are so small and somewhat similar, I had to combine them. Both categories involve the night. In the Cocktail Hour category, I fell in love with the LBD's, as most girls will. I loved the textures that the dresses had, like the fringe, metal beading, and feathers. I also loved the pattern of the blossom dress. The girly print with the black behind them balance each other out. Sadly, there wasn't much for me to like in the Pyjama Dressing category. I've never been a fan of wearing pajamas outside of my house, so the fact that people do it in the name of fashion confuses me. I did like the black pajama suit, though. It didn't scream "I'm in pajama's", so that's always nice. I don't know whether I would wear the pieces separate or together, but either way, they look very chic and super comfy!

In order from left to right: Balearic Dressing, Tailoring Noir, Cocktail Hour/Pyjama Dressing


Unfortunately, I can't really check out any of these clothes in person. They look pretty on the computer, and hopefully in real life, but I can't make any promises. If I lived in a state with a Topshop in it, even if it was a 4 hour drive to Topshop, I would be right there, checking out the clothes to give you an official review. But of course, I cannot.

Anyways, I hope you're just as exited about this collection as I am! What are your favorite pieces/categories? Please fill free to leave comments down below with your opinions on the Kate Moss x Topshop collection! Until next time! x
