A woman and her love for jewellery can never really be summed up in words, let alone contained. From the time she watches her mother adorn her treasures to dreaming of dressing up in heirlooms. From the inherent consciousness of collecting and savouring her jewellery pieces to stopping at those large, inviting display windows...woman and her love for jewellery wasn't really meant to be put into words, let alone contained.

Earlier this month I collaborated with Swarovski to style a look for this party season. I have always been a huge fan and an admirer of Swarovski crystals and jewellery. The finesse with which a simple piece of glass is so beautifully maneuvered to create something this delicate, is a form of unmatched art and skill. To celebrate this association and the timeless Swarovski appeal, I knew I had to save this look for the last. When it came to my outfit, I went ahead with the classic bling. If you are someone who prefers a look that is comfortable, easy and an extention to your personal favourites, the best is to stick to the classics. Doing so, leaves room for experimentation in jewellery, accessories and make-up. And that's pretty much what I did with this look. You can wear these pieces on their own, layer them or mix them to create a balanced look. I am sure you'll agree when I say that they'll look beautiful and appealing in every way. To balance the modern silhouette of the dress and giving in to old world charm, I added elements like this faux fur cape (Gifted by my grandmother, but never worn. This is for her) and did my lips in classic red. For the eyes I tried the Hollywood glam winged-eye (similar).

Now for the good bit. I need no Swarovski, said no woman ever. This year has been so overwhelming for me, in more ways than one. I feel I can never thank any of you enough for the love and support you have given this little endeavour of mine. If you are the one who is a regular reader of my blog, the one who likes and comments regularly or the one who never does but also never fails to stop by, I express my sincerest gratitude.

Winter Contrary : Sequins and Powder Pink

                                                                                   

                                                                             

                                                                              

                                                                              

                                                                              

                                                                             

Considering the climatic conditions in which I pen this outfit post, it indeed is contradictory. As of today or the past fifteen days, I haven't enjoyed the privilege of wearing just one layer or even baring my legs! However, what is not conflicting and can be agreed upon is the fact that fashion lasts forever. Trends come and go, but trends that choose to stay, become a chapter to be swallowed in the ever expanding fashion Bible. Case in point - Sequins and bling! I wouldn't call sequins and bling a 'trend' anymore. They are fashion, bookmarked to last forever. Be that spring/summer or fall/winter there are always reasons and ways enough to adorn bling. What can vary per say is how you choose to wear it. Traditionally, fall/winter calls for deeper shades. But with this particular look I decided to attempt monotones. The good part about monotones is that you get to play with textures by way of your accessories. To experiment that, I picked up every accessory matching the gold skirt and the powder pink cardigan (let's call it blush pink please!). On a separate note, blush pink is fast climbing my color crush list. Stay tuned to see more of it this summer. For the while, do you remember this blush pink look?
