The lady in me loves twin sets. Lately co-ords as they are called are everywhere on the highstreet. These by Zara have stripes that fairly match the gold of my mini bag which I found for a mere £1 in a charity shop (that be a thrift store to you Americans) . Win.

There's something timeless about black and white photography. Something that's both so right now and retro all at the same time. I'm about that combination. I can get with it.
My Style | Thigh High

So met a thigh high flat boot that I could get with so I bought it and it didn't disappoint. Perhaps the most comfortable shoes in my shoe game at the moment. Thank you to Asos for being impossibly rad.

There are bows and there are bows. The bows on these heels belong in the latter group. My shoe closet need these Magda Butrym shoes ASAP. Image via @magdabutrym
Beauty | Lip Girl
I am drawn to lip color. I like how lip color transforms one. I'm a Tom Ford girl myself followed only by Maybelline. I like Ford's luxurious packaging. The colors are gorgeous too. Here I'm wearing a red by Maybelline. Maybe she's truly born with it.
My Style | Chemistry
There is a joy about finding clothing you just can kick it with. Pieces that you have chemistry with. Like this top, like these flared jeans, I know I'm going to be wearing like forever. They are just me if you get what I mean. What clothes do you have chemistry with? Follow me on Twitter and Instagram @mariankwei .
Style | Finding Paola

She does this style easy. She has this innate thing she dies with head wraps and pieces that seem like they were always made for her. Her way with accessories is effortless and she has a natural grace. Find her for her style adventures at @findingpaola .
My Style | Effortless
A great sundress is just that, great. It does all the work and just lets you be. It allows you to do you as effortlessly as possible. I like dresses that do that, they are easy and fuss free. Life is complicated enough as it is.
Photo | Love you long time
Maybe it's my love for the artisan, maybe it's my fascination with 70s fashion, maybe it's because it's creative but I have a love of crochet that keeps getting better with time. Crochet love you long time.
Object of Affection | Zara Clip on earrings
Hands down Zara the high street store that has me in its shops more times than sense make the best clip on earrings. What is there not to love about the above. For non pierced ears, Zara is where it is at. They are vintage inspired to be darling without any cliches. They are also comfortable enough for all day wear. The price points are great with the above being £12.99. Run, not walk to your nearest store now. Thank me later.
My Style | 70s Flare
70s girl by style. Thank you @zara for making the best flares.
Beauty | Lip gloss girl
Been a lip gloss girl from the start. Lip gloss just seems to remind me of summer, bright sunny days and my youth. Lip gloss girl from day one.
Current Crush | Batoko

I never thought I'd need a lobster swimsuit. Never knew I liked lobsters. Never thought one on a swimsuit was a good idea. However I now know I like lobsters in print form. I also now know that @batoko are pretty rad for taking plastic ocean waste and turning it into cool swimwear that feature things like dinosaurs, whales and more. The shark is pretty cool too but the lobster has my heart. Did I mention that one of the Dinosaur print swimsuits is called 'Dinasass'? What's there not to love?
My Style | Mustard Fuzz
It's funny how random purchases come together to make an outfit. This coat was bought months before the hat. The Coca-Cola t-shirt from the mens section is pretty rad with the thrifted secondhand skirt. It all came together pretty nicely.
Style Icon | Teyana Taylor
@TEYANATAYLOR is an icon fullstop. It's the hair that's always on point. It's the boyish tomboy style meets feminine 90s girl that works. It's her general fabulous personality. Icon period.
Object of Affection | Seoul Import

Candy never looked so good. Seoul Imports has the knack for making hair accessories that are almost too pretty to use. What with their pastel shades and girly embellishments, they have a coyness to them that almost make them objects of art. The starfish designs have my affection. Follow their adventures at @seoul_import.
Trend | Animal Print

This is frigging how you do the darn thing! Take note. This is how you wear head to toe animal print. Applauding @authentically.b !!! Girl you are doing the darn thing!
My Style | Pewter
I like this dress worn as a skirt. I like that it likes to do its own thing with its pleats. I think a slogan sweat is a good thing to play down its shine. Though the chandelier earrings had to make an appearance. The @carvela flats are so darn ladylike.
Art | Crochet

The only thing better than crochet is crochet in a pop art. Thank you Kofi B for this edit.
My Style | Velvet
My Style - there's a reassurance about Velvet that never fails. Maybe it's the softness of the fabric, maybe it's the glamour it invokes, maybe it's just cos it's velvet...
