#FPFweekends; The Lebajoa Twins

Nihao skittles,

So I spent all morning exploiting my writing skills and trying to come up with the perfect plan for an accurate piece on my feature today.Well, epic fail! Maybe because I was constantly robbed of words in astonishment and of course we could blame the infamous writers block. So I thought, let me just wing this!



I've been crushing heavily on not one but a pair of absolute flames!Say maybe 5"4 tall, slim figured girls named NYane and Mpho Lebajoa. Originally from Lesotho in Southern Africa but have now settled in Southampton, England.













Mpho and NYane are like lock and key if you follow,with two different yet essential roles in the world of fashion!Although they both represent fearless and boundless style,NYane is frequently spotted in undiscovered pieces that she makes her own. Basically a risk taker that isn't afraid to introduce trends of her own and bring back deserted trends of the 80s. Her sister on the other hand has the profound ability to give 'laid back' a new definition in intriguing yet super comfie pieces of clothing with the wide brimmed fedoras fast becoming her signature accessory.In an interview from the London Fashion Weekend with PrettyLittleThingsTV, NYane and Mpho said they are greatly influenced by the Olsen twins in more ways than one.
An overload of jewellery is fast becoming a popular trend.However an understanding of shapes is necessary for
proper coordination.

SUITS are my weakness.



Meet Mpho!

My personal favourite thing about Mpho has to be her calmness. Just the way her looks are ever so easy yet never boring.

Retro Chic





Cleated  platform heels are simply a MUST HAVE

The twins at 17 years of age 3 years ago. This would still pass as trendy today.





 

When it comes to NYane, I am completely blown away by her boisterous bravery which inturn has me falling deeply in love with grey hair. Many would label it a no go zone for a young girl of colour but like its always preached, you will never know until you try.

With their beauty and artistic skills NYane(a model and blogger)  and Mpho(a designer and  a student) have seen themselves work hand in hand with global fashion powerhouses!

That's all I had for you today. Now as mentioned on my Instagram page, every weekend I will do a feature on a fashion lover from anywhere in the world. I also wanna take the opportunity to invite any interested fashion lovers who would either like to be featured or to suggest  a fashion icon to be recognised, email me at aone.ditirwa3@gmail.com. Follow NYane on instagram @nyanelebajoa and Mpho @mpholebajoa. Thank you for all reading.With endless love,
