Even though I'm not a huge fan of straight fit dresses, I looked every single market in Delhi for graphic tees and dresses and found some really cool ones on my recent trip to Thailand. Florals and Graphics were probably the most hot selling trends there, sported on the streets of Bangkok. So this outfit is kinda inspired from there except Thai girls are literally half my size and carry it way better. Trying to be all badass with the whole messy hair, dark eyes and strappy sandals look.

Tried keeping it real simple with a grey te-shirt dress and paired it with minimal accessories. Keeping everything on a low, let me experiment with the eyes. Kohled, smokey eyes with a nude lip colour was perfect to add some character to this look. Since it is a casual outfit, try going for flats, like I did. Instead of wearing chunky, heavy earrings, go for big hoops. The neckpiece adds the much needed colour to the outfit.

It is the peak of summers, starting of the monsoons and Delhi has started seeing some relief. Also the time when you start trusting your flip flops and a pair of rugged shorts the most to save you from the good, old puddles. While the rainy season has hit hard in Mumbai, Delhi is still picking up and we wanted to wear these long casual dresses while we could.

Navy is quite a dark, wintery colour and pairing it with the classic tans and rusts to lighten it up, works as one of my favourite combinations in summers as well. So for a lunch date I decided to wear a long, navy maxi. The best thing about this dress is the comfy, lycra fabric making it breezy and the fact that I bought it for rs 300. Haha yes, hit gold. Just one of those days that a visit to Sarojni Nagar market pays off. Even these animal printed sunglasses are from there. A friend of mine had the same ones from Aldo which she lost and found the exact same again at Saroj. The market was full of these sunnies in all colours. Quite a buzz they are making!

Since the dress is absolutely plain, I wanted to mix it with bright colours. Not like candy pops but something to make it stand out. Pair it up with a fringed tan bag from Dune London that I picked on one of my holidays. I was so excited to know the brand had opened up in Delhi also but all that excitement died when I saw the prices. The prices are a bit high but then what are sales for! Fringe is probably one trend to be present throughout all fashion weeks. Fringed bags, dresses, capes and tops. No wonder I bought this bag the minute I saw it. Fringe and tan, just couldn't let go. With the tan bag, matched the tan sandals from Forever 21. They serve the purpose of flats with small block heels giving you a slight height and these too were quite reasonable. You may still find them online.

To break the navy and tan, I used a bit of rust. I love the colour. It is not orange, it is not brown. It is like a mix of both with a little red. Almost like the colour of bricks. Added to the lips and accessories. These gorgeous earrings are from a Mumbai based brand called Blur. I went onto their website and honestly fell in love with the edgy, super cool pieces. So swell. Loved how these earrings could look so victorian yet so very modern at the same time and added that extra refined touch to the outfit.

If you plan on wearing this look at night, just make sure to switch the sandals with a pair of beige or tan heels and you will be all set to go.

Since you all have been asking me about my favourite lip colours, I have been meaning to do this post since quite some time now. I am not too big on experimenting with make up as I have an extremely sensitive skin, so I normally tend to stick with brands if they well suit me.

I love applying colour to the lips. Not just because it makes you look pretty but it works wonders and is quick fix to getting ready for parties. I use the matte collection of lipsticks by Inglot. Shiny, glossy lipsticks normally have been a fail with me as I usually hog a lot and within 30 minutes at a party, most likely I would have eaten all that gloss with a slice of pizza. So I trust my matte lipsticks with my life. They easily stick around for 5-6 hours and with a little touch ups here and there can go upto longer. People often think that matte lipsticks make your lips really dry but these babies are quite creamy to apply and also moisturise well.

The colour range of Inglot is what attracted me first to it. I love how they have so many beautiful shades of red, pinks and peaches. The colours come out pretty much the same as how they look. Deep, solid colour can be achieved in the first few strokes itself. Enriched with macadamia nut oil and avocado butter, these are priced at 950/-

Another interesting thing about Inglot products is that they are paraben free. Paraben are chemicals used as preservatives by cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. Wearing my three favorites- Deep red, nude and hot pink.

What is the importance of colour? Ask an artist. "There have been days I wondered why do I need a canvas to paint when I could the paint the world?" That is the day when Rishabh chose to be inspired by the little things calling for attention in a simple life and he painted the chaos in his head through colour splashing on the wall.

My love for Marvel has not been a secret. If you are following me on Instagram, then you already know this. I found this really cute marvel crop top at F21. The fit is slightly loose which makes it a perfect buy for summers. Another good buy from F21 is this denim jacket. Its thin, comfy and I loved the studded collars. 

Nothing says 2015 summers like a pair of mirrored sunnies which have been in for quite some time but never before have they made such a huge statement. These awesome Knockaround reflectors are from Upbeatz India. Pair this look with sneakers or espadrilles.

It has been two amazing years since I first posted on Red Velvet Closet and on our anniversary The Sugar Window was sweet enough to send us customised red velvet cupcakes. This journey has truly been a memorable one and for that I want to thank you all. I still remember the day when one of my friends asked me to do fashion posts and I was like noooo. Haha, guess that changed and I am glad it did. Keep the love coming and many many more red velvets to us :')

The Sugar Window is a one stop destination for all your sweet cravings. Their red velvet cupcakes and coco cups are a must try. To place an order - Hariti Chhatwal ( 9717778713)
