Elle describes wearing neon as the style equivalent of texting in all-Caps. Neon is the one trend that doesn’t seem to be on its way out, but you can’t blame any for loving it. Neon has its elements of risqué but when worn right the powerful punch of neons cannot be missed. Just like a red lipstick, a shade in neon – be that hot pink, acid yellow or a vibrant orange complements all skin tones.

An all neon look calls for a rave blast, but I personally loved how its mash-up with pastels and monotones was presented on the Spring/Summer 2013 runways. Hence, the minimalism and slate grey finish of this dress made it an instant grab. To add in the pastels, I carried this mint clutch (from here) and finished off with mint nails, something I haven’t gotten over since last year (Check!). Further, neon’s foray into leather makes it a perfect addition into the Fall wardrobe.

On another note, with “orange being the new black” and taking the New York Fashion Week Spring 2014 collections by storm, I can’t wait to add more of it into my wardrobe and up on the blog. These being my favourites (1, 2, 3, 4, 5).

I hope you liked the look. Many thanks for the wonderful wonderful response on The TrimmingsAndLace Collection. The collection would be updated soon so stay tuned.

Happiness In All Small Things : Oxblood and Cobalt

                                                                          

                                                                               

                                                                             

                                                                             

                                                                                   

Wishing all the readers a Merry Christmas. Lots of love, regard and warmest wishes to each one of you.

Yayyee...you see me! The best thing about fashion is that it helps you fall in love with the latest and re-visited trends, patterns and colors every season. And if by now you haven't embraced burgundy (distant cousin : maroon, christened : oxblood) in its complete royalty and luxe, you are living in the past my friend. Ever since the Fall/Winter runways, magazine issues, journals and the blogosphere declared oxblood as THE color, I have been stocking up on the same, getting together the pieces I own to adorn this shade to its fullest. I was stuck between a one.color.tone look and contrasts and if you have been following me long enough, the pick didn't surprise for sure. I wore this oxblood kurta with delicate Kashmiri embroidery tucked into my forever love cobalt and voila! Plus, what ideal way to make room for self cheer on a shuddering winter morning than wearing color. Happiness, as they say, indeed lies in all small things.

The Sky's Blue - For Me And You

                                                                             

                                                                            

                                                                               

                                                                          

I quite enjoy the idea of an impromptu outfit shoot. For first it helps me answer the hovering question as a YES that I do wear these outfits in my everyday life. Second, it helps me put to test my not-planned, not-tried-before outfit ideas. Beyond that, a reason to wear florals...Really?? I believe as much as we might want to categorize, 'Florals' can hardly be confined to a particular fashion season. While bold, large floral prints welcome as into spring, soft flora provides respite from the scorching summers. Florals cast in deep hues suggest the autumn festivities while in winters florals magically work to cheer us up on a foggy day, reminding that the dewy spring is just around the bend. Whatever be the season's color palette or silhouette of choice there can never be any escaping the high-octane dose of floral power. 

On the side, blogging is helping me re-discover my fashion sensibilities. Like, I cannot miss out on adding a feminine touch into my regular style. I added that tinge of petiteness to this otherwise casual look with my earrings. Further, I love to go statement. Thus, with spring worn so boldly on my sleeves I kept the look basic by pairing it with mutes. Finally, a belt clinched to the waist to structure this flowy top.

So, does the happy blues (test) score well?

Whites and Uniforms

                                                                             

                                                                             

                                                                                  

                                                                              

I have worn all white outfits before. My memory draws a proactive succession off all-white attires, which only and only were associated with school and college uniforms. Blame it on age (and yes just age), white uniform in school used to cheer me up. We were supposed to wear it every Wednesday and during school days a little sartorial variation was enough. Atleast, enough to tell me that fashion holds my real self and happiness. Plus it used to make me feel that white makes my skin glow with a wonderful peach-y tint.

                                                                               

                                                                              

                                                                            

                                                                            

Enter college. My sartorial senses added and style options multiplied. I began to recognize the basic premises of outfits - what makes you glow is the color that suits you, variations in the outfit textures can do wonders for your body shape, heels can be my best friend, accessories and clothes need to work in tandem and studying in an all girls college has been my greatest bet till date. During college, white began to be associated with college uniform (to be worn on Monday's), the day of reminded regulations, the day you wouldn't want to go "hang out" after college hours and the day when an exam fell on a Monday. Basically, talk of white and I'll say I have been there, done that!!

Being a style blogger (and an up-keeper of trends), I know I should have accessorized with Tan and followed the grail that Gold and Silver accents pop even more against the white canvas. I remember wearing white corduroy pants with a white knitted top and white (and black) flats to college...I am sure my uniform now can include that dash of color...maybe much within the regulations!!
