Dress- Raiman// Necklaces & sunglasses- thrift// Ring- Amrapali//

Shoes- Truffle Collection// Bag- H&M

End of May and we are still in the spring feels. Hey, I'm definitely not complaining. Well! Milan has been good to me so far with no tanning, heat burns or the over sweating glands in play. In this perfect weather, I decided to wear the brightest dress I had in my closet and go all mix and match with it. In short there was some experimentation to come up with a fusion look. To be honest, I'm not a big fan of this category maybe because I've always been a person who believes in things being black or white. So for me it is either Indian wear or a pair of jeans and top or atleast that was the case until some time ago. As I'm growing older, I've started acknowledging the grey space if not completely believing in it so why not give this a try.

Like I said, I wasn't too fond of fusion dressing earlier and many of you would have been facing the same dilemmas such as me. So don't start with something too complicated. Keep it restricted to things you know like maybe a kurta that can be worn as a dress or over trousers. In this post I'm wearing a buttoned up dress by designer Raiman and complemented the look with traditional Banjaran jewellery to give it an Indian twist. I've not done much to the face except put Exotic from the Nyx Lingerie collection on the lips and a mint green bindi.

Finished the look with straight hair, a satchel bag and Lennon glasses. I wore boots but you can also go for Punjabi juttis instead. Try this look and let us know how it looks :)

Prints Explosion

Monday, August 29, 2016

Shirt dress, crop top and shorts- MBK Mall Bangkok//

Glasses- Ray Ban// Rings- Forever 21// Sneakers- H&M

For a person who likes to keep it simple, prints are definitely not my thing. I've got two moods and my dressing usually revolves around these two - hipster and boho chic. This post is an attempt to try something new with prints. I very rarely experiment with prints and keep it limited to the basics like plaids and stripes. Florals are a favourite in the summer season. Here, I've decided to wear all my favourite prints together to come up with a single quirky outfit.

I decided to wear my checked shirt dress as a cape jacket over a graphic crop top. Graphic prints were a big thing last season and a lot of designers are still experimenting with it. I teamed up the crop top with these bold, psychedelic printed shorts. Since I already had a lot going with this outfit, I decided to not accessorise it and leave it simple. Wear your most comfy pair of sneakers and you are ready to go out for a fun date.

If you are not a fan of prints, then instead of wearing three prints, you can go in for just two. You can either wear a printed top or printed shorts and keep the other a solid colour. Let us know how you wore your prints?!

ASOS

Maxi Layering

Maxi- Thrift// Overthrow- Only// Sunglasses- H&M//

Sliders- ASOS// Bag- Michael Kors// Necklace & earrings- Forever 21//

Maxi dresses are something I can wear all year round. It's the one thing I can rely on for every changing mood of mine. Have to go on a dinner date, throw in a sexy, black gown. Lunch with the girls, go for a printed tube and then there is the most tricky one. Visits every month and makes me cranky af! Well for that there's always that one super comfy and loose maxi dress. So yes, when in doubt, wear a maxi!

This particular outfit I wore for a movie's day out with family. Cinema hall is one place, no matter how badly it may be burning outside, but inside it's like Alaska. I'm very bad at dealing with cold temperatures and places, hence I always carry a shrug or a shawl with me. I wore my maxi with a cotton overthrow keeping in mind just this. Also it's a good way to keep yourself from getting tanned in this obnoxious Delhi heat. It added a bright touch to the blues and went perfectly well with my recently bought sunglasses, that I was so desperate to try!

I kept the essentials limited to black. I like to mostly wear flats for daytime events and these ASOS sliders are a favourite. They go with everything and are super comfortable. I layered my necklace with 3 similar looking necklaces and matched them with gold hoops. Since the overall outfit was pretty simple, accessorising it, completed the look. I put the wine coloured Inglot 412 lipstick, matching it to my cardigan. It is pretty dark in colour but if you want it to look like mine, apply it very gently and rub it down a little with your index finger for a rosy-magenta looking lipshade.

Sweater Weather

Sweater- H&M// Stockings- Forever 21// Glasses- John Jacobs//

Boots- Truffle Collection// Bag- Jimmy Choo

Winters usually mean bulky jackets and excessive layers of suffocating clothing. Yes, not really a fan of this cold, moody weather. The only things that pull me through this season are the cosy sweaters, cute winter accessories and a hot cup of coffee!

I prefer to wear thick, woollen sweaters instead of infinite layers of thermals, jackets or inners. Oversized sweaters are an absolute favourite for this winter season. They are super comfy and can easily pass for a short dress. I've teamed this H&M high neck sweater with black stockings and worn it like a dress. Try wearing darker tights or stockings instead of the transparent ones as the dress is short and loose.

Keep the outfit simple and accessorise with cute winter caps and scarves. I normally avoid scarves with high or turtle necks but you can always throw in a scarf or stole over a solid coloured sweater to add colour. I've teamed up the sweater with a grey beanie and ankle length boots. Since the sweater is of a loose fit, try going for more structured boots to give a better shape. I absolutely fell in love with these new glasses I ordered online from John Jacobs. I love how they are super stylish yet easy on the pocket!

Throw in a large tote bag and you are all set for the day!

Smart Formals x Woods

Saturday, November 28, 2015

Dress - H&M// Shoes - Woods

Watch - Guess// Earrings - Thrift

When it comes to semi formals or smart formals for girls, we always end up having a hard time. Be it finding that perfect dress, shirt or shoes. Even if you manage to find a dress that flatters your body, finding that perfect pair of shoes that not only matches your taste and outfit but also are comfortable is like a nightmare.

I wore this body hugging dress from H&M for my convocation ceremony. Yes, after a long, heated debate with self on wether to wear a saree or a dress, my pretty, pink saree lost to power dressing. I was very particular about my shoes. I found the perfect pink heels by Woods to match my dress. Kitten heels are not a favourite but these were just gorgeous. I think patent onion pink is such a pretty colour for winters. Also kitten heels are like the most comfortable heels ever. I could literally run in them. They are sturdy, smart and serves the purpose of wearing heels. If you don't own a pair yet, do check out the Wood's new collection and buy yourself one.

Completed the look with a delicate, dangling pair of earrings and a watch for that little feminine touch. I also straightened my hair for a more polished look.
