When the weather is too hot to wear jackets but still windy to wear sleeveless, what do you do? Such dilemmas we have in our everyday life, I tell you! Answer to my previous question is, thin jackets FTW! One of the emerging trends this summer season which is kinda growing on me is the graphic tee. From celebrities to bloggers to people on the streets, everyone is sporting it these days. It's been around for some time now but honestly my personal favourite is the one with the witty and relatable quotes. Have you seen how luxury brands are turning this trend into being part of the new age millennial cult. For example the Dior feminist teeshirts have become such a big rage after Maria Grazia Chiuri took the bold step of coming with the 'We should all be feminists' tees on the ramp or the LV x Supreme collection with Supreme written in the big red block on white teeshirts. Well, like  I said, this trend is picking up fast.

I decided to go for a lighter, more personal quote that I felt reflected my personality well and teamed it up with blue bell bottoms. I experimented a little with print on print so tried a floral printed blazer on the graphic teeshirt which is a nice add on for this unpredictable weather.

Being the tourist I am in Milan, I obviously had my backpack and comfortable boots on. Most of the accessories were black and minimal like my super cool Daniel Wellington leather strap watch and sunglasses. Try this look and share your printed teeshirts with us!

Keep it stylish silly :)

Festivals in India are not just days with significance and history but also excuses to spend time with your loved ones and celebrate. You have the festival of colours - Holi, then there is the festival of lights - Diwali. These festivals are happy, bright and vibrant and the people also dress in a manner to represent that joy. 

This week we celebrated Raksha Bandhan also called as Rakhi. A day to cherish and honour the bond between siblings. The sister ties a band which is a ceremonial thread to the brother as a remembrance of their love. The brother promises to protect and love her in return with a few goodie bags here and there (hehe, this is the best part.) In short it's one of those days when you and your brother are not trying to kill each other and are actually nice to live with.

People normally stick to wearing traditional Indian wear on such festivals. Men go for kurtas while women wear suits or saris. What's interesting is how younger girls are not sticking to just the typical Indian wear outfits these days but bending towards a more Indo-western approach. My younger sister, Noor mixed and matched this beautiful Anupamaa Dayal long cape kurti with a pair of ripped jeans. The colours are so refreshing and vibrant, there are polkas and florals, everything we absolutely love. And oh, you can twirl in it! It's just perfect for the occasion. With the onset of the festive season, we are going to see a lot more of these stunning Indian outfits. While you mull over how gorgeous this little one looks, I'm gonna hog the leftover mithai!

One thing I absolutely love about the summer season is finding excuses to indulge in buying swimwear. Be it for your casual swims or for a holiday to the beach or if you are like me it will probably be just to hang it in your closet till you find the perfect occasion to wear it. I've been wanting to wear my high waisted bikini set from a long time, before the summers go away and haven't been able to find the time and just like me a lot of people don't get to use their swimwear that often. So I decided on doing a post with mixing and matching a bikini top in an outfit that you can wear on a daily basis. Sounds crazy? Maybe not.

The idea is to wear your bikini top as a crop top or a bralet and team it with other things. Since my bikini top is a halter, there are two ways you can style it. One pairing it with a sheer top or a cape, which is perfect if you're at the beach and the other is wearing it under a shirt or light jacket. I teamed up my striped bikini top with a polka dotted, cotton shirt from Zara. The shirt is a recent buy and should be still available at the store. Print on print gives it a contrast and also a nautical effect. I wore the shirt with a knot to quirk it up and go the retro way.

Since it's a day look, go for bright colours instead of your boring blue jeans or trousers. Remember how the coloured pants trend was a rage two years back? Dig into your closet and find those flashy, flamboyant pants and give them a try. Team it with a neutral coloured belt as the pant itself is really bright. Always remember to wear a belt if your pant has belt loops. You can team this whole look with flats or wedges to keep it comfy.

I love the navy & gold necklace from Péro by Aneeth Arora that goes perfectly with this fun outfit and match it with my navy fringed bag. I think I am quite obsessed with fringes this season and you will be seeing them a lot in my upcoming shoots. So we have definitely gone retro with the knotted shirts and peace jewellery to halter bikini tops, why not wear the very popular retro cat eye sunglasses? Animal printed cat eye gasses have always been a rage. Ladies in the 50's used to rock these glasses with their high wasted bikinis and their super hot curvaceous bodies. Try this look and mix and match all those sexy bikinis lying in your closet!

How often do we sit and acknowledge the little things around us. The tiny little details that may seem trivial but never fail to put a smile on our faces. Like the smell of coffee, snuggling in the blanket all day, bonfire nights and ah those warm, fuzzy mornings when the sun comes out. Well that's what winters mean to me. I've come to realise, no matter how much I hate these three horrifying months, with time I've learnt to embrace the good, even in these gloomy times. Yes. 

Now that my love-hate relationship with this season is out in the open, lets talk about the things I love. Winter layering definitely tops my list. Layering dresses over stockings with blazers or just layering your winter essentials with scarves and woollen caps. Another favourite is the colour tan. Be it tan boots, a tan bag or a tan overcoat, this colour adds the much needed warmth to your outfits on chilly days. 

In this post I tried doing both, layered my outfit around this tan overcoat from Zara which is probably one of my favourite winter items from the closet. Combined it with a taupe leatherette overthrow from Only. I was pleasantly surprised by how Only has come up with some super chic jumpers and jackets. If you haven't checked them out yet, you must! To break the neutrals, I wore a bright blue crop top with basic black pencil pants. I was in love with this hut shaped ring from Blur the minute I laid eyes on it. Its edgy and fun. Black Michael Kors Hamilton satchel bag and brown ankle length Vanilla Moon boots completed my look.
