As I might have mentioned before, I'm trying to embrace a minimalist lifestyle - not absolute, bare to the bone minimalism, just in the sense that I'm trying to get rid of clutter and things I could easily do without. This also means that when I think about buying something, I ask myself whether it is something that will be useful to me and if not, whether it brings me joy. With these criteria in mind I put together a selection of fabulous fashion finds that would be a great addition to even the most minimal of wardrobes.
I also have a surprise giveaway for you at the end of the post, so read on! :)

Lip earring by Kozminka
Kozminka Jewelry is a New York-based brand founded by Russian contemporary jewelry artist Katya Kozmina. She hand crafts all of her jewelry using traditional artisan techniques, infusing it with her personal energy.
All Kozminka pieces are created using fair-mined gold and silver as well as gemstones that have a low impact on the environment. Katya's new collection called Senses is comprised of hand-carved mini sculptures of an eye, an ear, a nose, lips and a hand, representing the human senses. Her designs are minimal, but high impact and are meant to make a bold statement. Love this black lip earring, so beautifully made and original!
One-piece swimsuit by Kibys
Kibys is a lingerie and swimwear brand from Colombia known for their very romantic and feminine designs. They work with the best quality fabric and laces for intimates and they care a lot about the fit and silhouettes to guarantee that every type of women with any type of body can fit into one of their products. I absolutely love this hot pink swimsuit because I think one-pieces are the classiest type of swimwear and there's so much more room for experimentation as far as design and cut-outs go. Also, this stunning colour really makes it stand out. What do you guys think?
Penguin's Lament scarf by Medley Creations
Medley Creations is a UK-based artistic fashion house, focused on creating wearable art made from the finest textile materials. Their hand drawn designs and hand woven fabrics make each of their scarves and sarongs truly unique and all of their pieces are made to stand the test of time. I love their artistic designs and this penguin scarf is my favourite. This is the description of the scarf, just so you can appreciate how the concept and design go hand in hand:
“Caitlin and Rebecca respond to their emails”
The Penguin's lament scarf is part of the The Bird collection which represents our desires to be different, independent, beautiful, and to soar free above the world looking down at all its beauty and ugliness. The designs are compositions combining different shapes, structures and patterns as well as written text and graffiti.
This scarf is handcrafted during every process from the design and weaving of the fabric to the printing and finishing.
Peas in a pod necklace by Argent of London
