A very warm hello to all of you. I hope you had a fabulous and enriching first week of 2014. As I start my year on the blog, I really feel I cannot thank you all enough for being a source of constant support and encouragement. Blogging about fashion and your tastes in style, may seem like a cake-walk but trust my contemporaries and me when we say that it is a demanding job to do. Nevertheless, there hasn't been a day when I have woken up not loving what I do and not wanting to do it over and over again. A big credit for that goes to you all. So thank you so very much. Here's to lots of work, lots of styling ideas, lots of interactions and to loving and living your dream. Cheers!

I BELIEVE

Starting this post with a kind note - 

Dear 'Anonymous' readers. I truly appreciate your efforts to stop by my blog and further passing through all the clicks and checks to finally leave a comment. Opinion on what I wear  - YES, Suggestions on how to improve - YES, Inputs to advance my fashion knowledge - YES. Kindly, refrain from leaving comments that are personal. I appreciate criticism but judge me only on what you know of me from the blog, not on what you think you know about me!! 

                                                                                 

                                                                                 

                                                                                

                                                                              

This post comes after long...and after a lot of pondering and self deliberation. Titled  'I Believe' just to convey a little message to all my lovely, loyal readers that I make mistakes even on this platform, I do not know everything and I never proclaimed I did. Just like many of you, I learn and am learning in this process...and I share that with you ensuring your support. So, Thank you so much!

A few of my fashion ideologies went into putting together this outfit. It is always fun to incorporate styles outside your comfort zone and what's even thrilling and pleasing is that your ideologies stand true to fit the bill. Here's a run-down on mine, I hope you feel the same on some :) 

1. I believe in cultural fusion. The crisscrossing of Indian accents (my jewellery) with contemporary outfits works amazingly well. I am glad the stylists at Vogue India (Read: July Issue) believed the same.

2. I believe that simple and suave gold sandals are an accessory in itself. They are glamorous enough to complete an outfit.

3. I believe in NO fake bags in a blog post atleast.Period.

4. I believe that you shouldn't have a reason to wear trousers and a season to wear blazers. They are absolute wardrobe staples.

5. I believe in Orange and Animal Prints. Trust you me, the potential and instincts of these two abstracts can change outfit dimensions.

The Girl and The Leopard

"A leopard does not change his spots, or change his feelings that spots are rather a credit."

Ivy Compton - Burnett

So there comes a day in our lives, when after a long, hectic day all we seek is the comfort of our heavenly bed. BUT suddenly you get a call. This call has the power to spin all your plans when echoes, " Hey..I am in Chandigarh for today, lets catch up for dinner." You look helplessly towards that bed but you also know that a friend who is visiting town for just one day and is so gracious enough to meet you, is worth missing all those extra hours of sleep. Well that is exactly what happened to me a few days back!! Sorry, I couldn't be more dramatic :p

When encountered with a situation like this which is so time bound (as in I hardly got time to get dressed) my first instinctive reaction is : OHH MY GOD, I DO NOT HAVE ANY CLOTHES. This is followed by some rhetorical WHY's which continue till the very last moment you step out and leave home.    

Does that happen with you as well?? 

Its quite obvious that I wasn't much dressy that very day but still, I did click pictures of what I wore ( I am learning the art :) ). My look was very basic and thus I thought of making this post a-kinda tutorial as to how you can glam that basic look and perhaps make it more chic.    

Here's a look as to how I dressed:    

 

1.BELT: The first add-on which can enhance this look is a belt. The belt would help structure the outfit. Also since I wear a leopard top with a high waist skirt, the belt would define the two items. I pick the following belts: 

                                                                                                                                 

                                                                     

2. SHOES: Though I was happy wearing the mid-heel pumps, I would pick the following kinds of footwear which can totally uplift this outfit and make it glamorous:

Among these, my first pick would definitely be the ZARA sandals you see on the bottom-right corner, followed by the ZARA peep-toes on the top left.

3. CLUTCH: With the entire outfit, I carried my patent Louis Vuitton clutch, but here's my wish list of what I would have liked to carry. Obvious to say Gucci tops the list:

4. ACCESSORIES: I completed the look with black onyx droplet earings. I personally feel that with an outfit like this, its safer to wear one statement piece of jewelery because that ways the print you wear remains in focus and looks bolder. If you choose to wear earings, you can skip the bracelets/cuffs on your wrists and vice versa. Keeping the jewelery simple, one can add accessories to the hair. Also one can do their lips and nails in rich crimson. Here's my pick:

I shall await your valuable suggestions :)

Dots and Dates

Hey Dearies!!

Well I am super excited doing this post. My SUPER EXCITEMENT has no apparent reason except for the fact that I wore polka dots over lunch with cousins and friends today. So why are the polka dots, lunch, cousins and friends making me excited? Hmmm Here's why:

1. The polka dots top I wore today has been designed by me.

2. I wore it last on the 14th of June 2010, while shopping with my favourite person in Dubai.

3. My cousins, mentioned friends and me all went to the same school. So we all are batchmates, seniors, super seniors which makes us a fun gang!!

4. I digged into my favourite Pasta al Pomodoro in delicious red sauce after quite a while. I had it last on 8th June 2011 at a different restaurant though. I am pro at remembering dates.

5. Gossips and meaningful conversations were accompanied by many rounds of green apple sodas, peach ice tea, fresh lime and mocha's :)

My outfit for the day was very basic...have a look :

I like the little detail added on this blouse with opposite coloured trimmings on the front and back, running in the shades of hot pink and orange. I deeply regret not wearing a nail colour in either of these shades (which by the way I am going gaga over these days) which kinda makes the look bland :(

I wore orange peep - toes though:

My entire look came out like this:

Do you guys remember my bag from here.

Neon Rush - Take 2

A big big big hello my dear followers :) How are things going on for all of you?

I am choosing to make this post a FEEDBACK POST which makes me wait with bated breath for your responses. I request your feedback on two things:

1. My outfit for this post - believe you me I am a lot jittery about it.

2. Since now I am a two month old blogger, how would you describe my style? Voting time...
(You can vote by following the widget on the right bottom)

Coming over to my outfit for the day. If you guys remember my Neon Inspiration this very post also stems from the same. I have worn this look a couple of times before and I am finally sharing the same with you guys. I have to admit that I took on this look from India's answer to Blake Lively a.k.a Sonam Kapoor. No matter how much she is pushed for trying to be all reel Serena and real Blake Lively...I do think that the lass herself does have a good sense of style!!  

The Style I talk about is - HIGH WAIST PANTS!! 

 Here's how I wear this super comfortable look in Neon:

So you remember my neon tank from Promod. I wore the same with these high waist pants bought from a local store in Chandigarh. My mother was generous enough to trust me with her Louis Vuitton tote :)
The accessories:

I accessorized the look by wearing my leaf pendant chain from Forever 21. I also belted the pants with a metallic flexi belt in gold plus I wore my mom's dress watch and bracelet set in gold and rubies :) On my feet I wear these leopard printed loafers from Atmosphere!!

 

I have for you the high waist pants look as worn by Blake Lively and Sonam Kapoor!! I guess we all can contemplate as to who inspires whom :*

Isn't Sonam Kapoor's Ferragamo tote in Pic 1 and Blake Lively's pumps to die for??
