Talking of classics, I feel nothing complements a lady more than the classic sheath dress. For me what makes it timeless is how the hemline sits mid or below the knee, clean, sophisticated cuts and flattering necklines. Neutrals or solids, a simple sheath dress can be dressed up by adding accessories or worn on its own to make a demure statement. Being an ardent lover of minimalism and contemporary art, last week when I got an opportunity to style for Vajor, needless to say this fabulous dress caught my eye spot-on. White may not be a colour for fall for the faint at heart, but the unbound canvas it provides in terms of fashion and styling is hard to ignore. Besides, white is a colour that compliments all skin tones and works to soften the features. Power and immaculacy for me are the twin sides of white, depending on the silhouette you choose to adorn. And an elegant sheath dress certainly confirms to the former. This largely defines and supports the fashion basics at Vajor. Simple, sleek, sharp cuts in apparels, contemporary prints and modular jewellery and accessories, Vajor is for those who like making a serious and one-stop statement. I was torn between styling their wide range of skirts (this number being such a huge hit at the show) and gorgeous pieces from their latest The Wild Tribe collection, but this dress and an idea of putting together a minimal, monotone look got all votes. A red lip to add a strong colour pop and a beautiful sunset view to soften the frames, this outfit for me defines those little, unsaid pleasures of life that are fun, extravagant and fanciful.

Audrey Hepburn probably said aloud a notion that's unconsciously and consciously existed in the world, atleast in the female part of it. "I believe in pink" - an expression that has been acknowledged, accepted and endorsed timelessly and how. I believe in pink because pink is delicate and symbolizes sweetness, playfulness, tenderness, cotton candies, bubble gums and babies. I believe in pink because its a universal colour of love - of oneself and of others. I believe in pink because it represents friendship, affection, compassion and contentment. But most importantly, I believe in pink because it symbolizes strength, patience, endurance, survival and victory. Embracing the winter sun and deeper berry hues, my outfit for this very post is a little tribute to the power of pink.

I am also very excited to be sharing this with my Chandigarh readers. The connoisseurs of luxury shopping experiences - The Pink Post-It are bringing together another fashion extravaganza for you all. Be a part of this dynamic event which introduces new designers, talent and a fashion and style finesse like no other. You can find them on Instagram as well - @thepinkpostit. Friday, the 21st at The Lalit Hotel from 11am to 8pm. I hope to see you there!

TrimmingsAndLace For The Luxe Café

                                                   

                                                   

Over the past few years, the idea of 'luxury' and how you and me perceive it has evolved. The Indian consumer rests in a sea of resources and opportunities, powered by an untameable zeal to experience the greatest. Luxury in goods and services is no longer confined to the affection of the privileged. It rather lies with all those who have the courage to look beyond the obvious and seek the intricate details of life. What better can be to experience the grandeur and exclusivity of luxury at a click? Answering our prayers is the recently launched The Luxe Café that's all set to become India's leading online luxury lifestyle magazine.

When I was asked to take a tour of this well researched and conceptualized portal, I couldn't really imagine the experience and burst of information I was in for. The Luxe Café is fashioned as a virtual salon for the purveyors of luxurious living and has a distinct approach to sharing information and elite lifestyle choices. Experienced writers, artists and design specialists have curated content on fashion, food, decor, travel, leisure, motoring, gadgets, personas and ideas for connoisseurs of fine living. The chosen industry experts are working together to engage personally with the consumer in an attempt to shatter the traditional notions associated with luxury and reinterpreting them for the truly passionate. Tapping on the greater brand awareness and reach of Indian citizens today, and a shift of the 'Luxe Consciousness' from the metros to Tier II and Tier III cities, The Luxe Café is directly engaging industry experts with the readers, helping them make informed consumer choices.

The Luxe Café as envisioned by Manisha Mayur Shekhar, editorial director and founder, will bring the India’s growing numbers of brand-conscious buyers and luxury-enthusiasts in close touch with all that is happening, that is new and that comes straight through the experts from the world of luxury. In her very own words, "If you have an eye towards all that is new, a breakthrough and straight from an expert, if you appreciate luxury as an expression of innate aesthetics, if knowing better means only that which comes from the best, then The Luxe Cafe` is your space to be. With our monthly bouquet of fresh stories and features, this e-zine aims to bring to fore our research and recognition of people, places and avenues of fine living, so each month has its own flavours, highlights, discoveries. The Luxe Café, therefore, is poised to become an essential companion to those who know not only the difference between chalk and cheese but also chalk and charcuterie."

I hope you all delve into this luxurious experience. Don't forget to catch them on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Google Plus.

The underlying premise of starting the blog, for me, was the ability to try and recreate runway looks which I so admire. Styling has always been a matter of ideology for me, a reinforcement of culture and personality and a domain constantly challenging to inspire, innovate and create something from what already exists, sometimes forgotten, in my closet. This look is my adaptation of Burberry's Fall 2014 ready-to-wear collection titled The Bloomsbury Girls. The collection in addition to being a customary celebration of the British culture was also an ode to the freedom of motion, the finesse of hand-painting and the art of tapestry. The coats and jackets, ponchos and blanket throws, dresses and scarves, bags and booties were obvious love...something that goes without saying. I personally loved this idea of creating a print mix and pairing a shirt dress with a scarf cringed to the waist. The magicked bite in this whole idea was the perfectly blended and balanced dose of colour and print between all elements. Also, for me it symbolized the perfect attire welcoming fall - just when dresses become longer and all you need is an additional layer to save yourself from the nip in the air. Unlike the collection, my bag and sandals were in solids, but I guess the distance remains only in owning those perfect pieces to achieve an actual rendition of the 'Burberry Look'. Talking of which, the verdict on mine should precede this..  

I look forward to your comments and suggestions. You can drop them down as comments or can even stop by my Instagram for the same. Don't forget to check out Himanshu's too - @himshootz.

Wearing An Invisible Crown

It is always exciting to construct an outfit around one core element. When I did a dominant white look earlier this year, I wanted the crop-top to be the focus of the outfit, keeping the other details subtle and minimum. With this look too, I wanted these Burberry spring'14 inspired sandals to be the main element of the look. You may remember seeing me in a maxi version of this skirt, but while putting together this look I decided to head in for a little DIY and hence chopped it into a midi. To bring in a feminine and elegant vibe of the 60s, I accessorized in gold and added a cheerful headband. The latter an element of reminisce to self of my headband days, much before a certain Ms. Waldorf. Isn't this largely what life is meant to be? We must strive to recognize our strengths, work our best, alter and get twisted to stand tall with them. We must never let go off the beliefs that make us strong and make us who we are, our ideologies that make us shine. And yes...whatever be the adversity, always remember to wear our invisible crown!

Joining me with this post is the extremely talented Himanshu Sharma. I am a huge admirer of individuals who hold the courage to pursue their dreams and passions against the conventional. Kudos to Himanshu who chose to leave the luxuries of a corporate job in the US and settle back in India to pursue his penchant for photography. Make sure you stop by his work and show love!
