style.in.kind.

Boasting a kick-ass range of contemporary, youthful pieces for every occasion possible, style.in.kind is the newest exciting online fashion destination for must-have pieces that won't break the bank. From blouses to statement necklaces, style.in.kind's drool-worthy collection of unique pieces are peppered in plenty of color, and of course, the timeless promise of eternal style. Not only do they have their own collection of wonderful apparels, style.in.kind also proudly carries curated items from emerging independent Malaysian designers and labels such as Mno.logie, Midnight in E Garden by Ade G (which lucky Singaporean residents can find in Far East Plaza!), Fortune by Kim Dulaney and many more to come.

As their colorful landing page suggests, style.in.kind is filled to the brim with chic separates that can be easily combined to create a medley of different ensembles to fit your every mood and occasion. The brand were kind enough to sponsor me a few pieces which I am SO excited about - you can check out the clutch and shirt they sponsored me in this blogpost! The perspex clutch has such great studded detail and has found a permanent place on my shelf amongst my fashion magazines and books; talk about interior design potential as well as sartorial functionality! The refreshing, orange chevron-print blouse is lightweight and relaxed - I've already worn it so many times as it seems to fit every occasion perfectly; from date nights to fashion events.

 These are a couple of pictures off my Instagram (@veenamccoole - thank you for 1.5K by the way!) of style.in.kind's pieces - as you can see in the centre picture it's become a part of my room now! I'm in love with the super pretty blue and orange bracelets they sent me too (I'm so terribly obsessed with that color combination as of late - cue a "blue and orange" outfit post, perhaps!).

Dress: c/o Kristine's Collection

Belt: c/o OhMySmoothies

Clutch: c/o Dorothy Perkins

Shoes: Brandless

 I've worn this dress so many times - it's a miracle it hasn't appeared in an outfit post yet! I love the muted champagne color underneath the floral lace overlay and the hint of flesh visible at the neckline. In my opinion, the waistline looks much better pulled in with a simple black belt for added shape and definition. To amp up the gentle color and feminine lace aspects of the dress, I paired it with glistening gold shoes and a scalloped pink and gold clutch from Dorothy Perkins - my new latest obsession (I even chose to bring it to Formal (prom) - stay tuned for a post on my Formal dress coming soon!). While the clutch enhanced the girly appeal of the dress, the gold elements made for a more daring, statement ensemble. I'm so relieved that my exams are finally over, so expect much more frequent posts throughout the summer as I document some of my sartorial adventures during my internship with Digital Fashion Week Singapore!

MINKPINK - high summer.

 Fresh, young and very Australian, I'm completely in love with MINKPINK's brand philosophy that's seamlessly integrated into their "Summer High" Campaign. With daring prints, unexpected color combinations and an aesthetic that is no less than electric, "High Summer" is really all you need for a killer summer wardrobe. The strength of this collection lies in the fact that virtually no accessories are necessary to "amp up" an outfit, as the bold colors and prints suffice to complete any MINKPINK ensemble. Typical summer days usually consist of sunny beach afternoons that quickly evolve into evening barbecues, meaning there's a minimal amount of time to get changed between one social gathering and another. MINKPINK's delicious new collection makes those hectic transitions easier by reducing the number of steps to getting ready: forget accessories, statement hats, complicated makeup or crazy-cool shoes, all you need is a MINKPINK romper in a crazy print to hog the spotlight and make your outfit shine without the aid of unnecessary accessories. 

With more sophisticated elements such as the matching black and white croptop and leggings, a perfect balance of playfulness and poise is attained while, of course, maintaining signature youthful prints. These kaleidoscopic separates can be flaunted with a solid basic counterpart or an even more excitable print for maximum impact, and as demonstrated in the many playful pictures of the campaign shoot, MINKPINK's hot summery designs are appropriate in any and every weird and wonderful situation you find yourself in this summer. Embrace festival-style dressing (even though Coachella is over!) in the form of funky bustiers, distressed denim and fiery bodycon separates in the best prints you'll see this year. Happy Summer!
