Monki magic

Swedish label Cheap Monday recently opened their flagship UK store in London's Carnaby Street. I went along to check it out - not to buy one of their trademark skinnies, however, as long-gone are the days when my derriere would allow me to slip in to a pair of those. But while there, my attention was drawn to the Monki store next door. Cheap Monday's younger, more quirky sister label, Monki offers affordable fashion inside this uniquely designed shop front. Don't be surprised if you spend a while browsing in there and come out empty-handed though as the Monki experience is as much about appreciating the creative interiors as it is the products.

Yuna: Live Your Life

 
Malaysian singer-songwriter Yuna Zarai describes her music as a "cross between Mary Poppins and Coldplay". In spite of her reference to Coldplay, I'm glad I gave this songstress's tunes a chance as not only does she have a darn good voice, but her talents have also been recognised by Pharrell who's produced this track. Known for her trademark turban-style head gear, Yuna also runs her own fashion label.
