Monikh wears the embroidered linen Zara skirt in her shopping picks.
There are hundreds of thousands of influencers in the social ether, but there is only a handful who we religiously stalk in order to virtually steal the clothes off their backs. Our primary target is Monikh—the London-based styling and shopping guru who seeks out the coolest buys from every corner of the retail world. From her inspiring tips on rewearing her well-chosen investment items to hunting down the best high-street pieces, her Instagram feed, @monikh, and website are a veritable hotbed of things you’re going to want to purchase immediately (and will never regret). Each month, Monikh will share her new picks exclusively for you.
This year is flying by, and we are one step closer to those warmer, coatless days and pretty pink nights. So this month’s round up is full of pieces to mix and match, and ensure the next season goes by without the dreaded ‘I have nothing to wear in this weather’ meltdown.
Something cosy to throw on when day turns to night.
I’ve had my eye on these bags for years!
