Not so long ago Nspired introduced you to our First Style Crush (read more about it here)

Today let me introduce you to whimsical  21 year old  Manal Hassen who hails from the Eastern Cape!

I am crushing all over this gorgeous, vibrant and clever dresser.  A niqaabi with swag!

Just  how pretty is this! Her layering of the pearl necklaces just makes the abaya explode with vibrancy!

Just loving that shoe! Rocking the beach front for sure Manal!

 

She is so clever with her accessorising! Donning that fascinator is just fabulous! The eye make-up really gorgeous too! It all looks so ideally “Put Together”

 

Killer heels are always a hit! That head band adds that extra extravagance!

Colour popping! Crushing on it! Manal says that her accessory on the head is just an earring she experimented with! …. told you she is a clever dresser!

Manal says this is a look she would wear to a wedding! Head turning for sure! I can almost hear the gasps!

Now you have met Manal. OMW. Wasn’t that all just so beautiful and whimsical!?

To me it almost seems that every day dress-up is an epic adventure….. I just had to ask her….  What in the world does she think of when she opens her cupboard every morning!?  This is what she had to say “Lets see what I can throw together and it all come together depending on my mood!”
