I spent today visiting journalists in London to show them our amazing new beauty products and homes look books. In a quick gap we took a trip to Carnaby Street where I came across a beautiful, unique and interesting shop called Monki. It’s the only one in the UK and I fell in love! Not just because they had an unreal sale but because the shop itself was really vibrant and quirky.
Monki describes itself as “Monki is both a way of doing life and doing fashion. Monki is a store concept and a fashion brand. The stores are a part of a Monki world that constantly tells new stories. The clothes have a style that represents personality and independence, an alternative that’s full of dreams.” This definitely describes the opinion that I have come home with! It’s lovely to find a shop that isn’t easily accessible so you can be sure you won’t bump into 20 people with the same top!
I picked up a couple of amazing items. I could have spent £65 but purchased my two items for £13! Totally worth going against my spending ban! I brought a lemon sheer button up shirt with a beautifully curved collar. The cuffs bring the shirt in creating a little gathered effect at the wrists. Perfect to tie in with some black skinny jeans and a collar necklace. This was meant to be £20 but I picked it up for £5! The second item was a vintage inspired thick knit cardigan with a multi coloured effect. It features mainly a lime green knit with hints of purple and blue! The baggy sleeves add a cute effect as does the hemline buttons. This was meant to be £45 but I got it for £8! So impressed!
