OOTD: Crop Top,White Culottes

OOTD: Crop Top,White Culottes

Hey guys,

An OOTD post today.I love culottes in monsoons coz they don’t get dirty from the bottom plus they dry out pretty quickly unlike denims. So culottes are your best bet in the rains. Also they give the look of a skirt with the feel of pants :p I had styled a pair of floral culottes last monsoon HERE.

This time it is a pair of white culottes and I went with a crop top. I love how the coral red crop top works with the white culottes. I was not too pleased with the fit of the culottes, but as the size increases so does the length and since I am short, it somehow clashes :/ I accessorized with a nice, chunky statement neck piece and let that be the showstopper of the outfit.

A simple gold midi ring, watch and brogues to complete the look.

OOTD: Red Lips Embroidered Dress

Hi guys,

A new OOTD today..I wore this pretty red lips embroidered dress last Saturday when we went to Prime Time Sports Bar and also it was my niece’s 2nd birthday 🙂

I love how simple and effortless this dress is,yet glams you up instantly. I paired it with a simple gold choker necklace and a simple Daniel Wellington watch and a set of rings.

Completed the look with this black fringes bag and studded black ballerinas.

Since it was quite dark and the lighting was not that good, some pics look a bit harsh. Also, I am wearing the L’Oreal Paris 24H Powder Foundation and hence the whitish cast, see I told you.

OOTD: Navy Blue Crop Top,Floral Palazzos

OOTD: Navy Blue Crop Top,Floral Palazzos

Hi guys,

I am back with an OOTD. I have seen palazzos doing rounds since a long time,I always felt they look good only on taller and leaner women like maxi dresses, and hence never tried them.

This time, I thought, why not give it a try and I saw this beautiful floral palazzos and fell in love with them. This navy blue lace crop top matched perfectly with the palazzos and also the fit was amazing,it hugged the body snuggly. The upper part was lace which played a peek-a-boo.

The palazzos are so,so comfortable. light and airy. I feel I can wear them everyday, even in these summers.

Since the top and bottoms were lace and floral, I did not accessorize much and just went with my classic watch and tan brogues. And my favourite companion MK Selma Mini.

I wore this at the Pantene event last week, and we also met the super hot Lisa Haydon.

From Amazon, Flipkart to Jabong, Koovs, StalkBuyLove, lingerie from Zivame to luxury from Darveys, it’s all in here. You just need to select a category from Clothing,Shoes,Bags, Jewellery and there are sub-categories like Ethnic wear,Lingerie, Plus size, Maternity, Skirts, Dresses,etc. within Clothing.

A perfect summer vacation has to have a nice, comfy, trendy shorts. Denims, of course, I live in them!

That remind me of backpacks, again perfect to carry along, and you can just wear them behind and forget about it and be comfortable.

OOTD: 3 Casual Outfits

OOTD: 3 Casual Outfits

Hi guys,

Today I am showing you 3 casual outfits which I have been wearing of late.

Outfit 1:

 

A blue ‘Cinderella’ t-shirt dress from Disney and Kook N Keech collaboration for Myntra. I paired it with my tan brogues and Michael Kors Selma. I added a glitter gold belt to define the waist and give a shape to the dress. And my Daniel Wellington watch and a gold and black layered statement neck piece.

Dress: Myntra
Belt, Shoes: Foot-in
Watch: Daniel Wellington
Necklace: Shop Miss A

Outfit 2:

Second outfit is more of an androgynous look. I have paired a white tee with my blue denims, and layered with a men’s blue tartan cotton shirt from Zobello. Zobello is an online men’s clothing wear site, where you get everything from formal to casual to party wear shirts, trousers, sports wear, shorts, sweat shirts, etc. I love adding a men’s shirt as a layer to my outfit and there are so many other ways to wear your man’s shirt 😉 I love how comfortable and soft the material is and it is quite thick and pure cotton, hence very comfortable and perfect for summer layering.

The only feminine element I have added in this outfit to break the androgyny is this silver semi- precious stones cuff from Silvette. How super pretty is this cuff! I absolutely love it. The shoes and watch are the same as in the above look. I wore this outfit to the Levis’ event a few days ago.

Tee: Marks & Spencer
Denims: Forever 21
Shirt: Zobello
Cuff: Silvette
Watch: Daniel Wellington
Shoes: Foot-in (Also seen HERE)

Outfit 3:

Third outfit is this simple, teal colored dress from Dressberry which I bought during the Myntra sale for some 275 rupees 😀 I paired it with a simple,thin black belt and this gorgeous statement necklace from Rosabelle Treasures. I completed the look with my Daniel Wellington watch, Michael Kors selma mini and metallic gold Vans. I love the combination of teal and gold, the shoes perfectly complimented the dress.

 

I wore this outfit to the Maybelline Rebel Bouquet Collection launch a few weeks ago.

Dress: Dressberry (Myntra)
Necklace: Rosabelle Treasures (Also seen HERE)
Bag: Michael Kors Selma mini
Shoes: Vans (Also seen HERE)
Watch: Daniel Wellington

I just realised after putting this post together, that all three outfits are shades of blue! Its like, 50 shades of blue :p :cheesy much:

This is kind of like a summer fashion lookbook too. If you like more of such casual outfits compilation, do let me know 🙂

OOTD: Orange Lace Dress, Floral Blazer

OOTD: Orange Lace Dress, Floral Blazer

Hi guys,

If you read the previous post, you know we had been for lunch yesterday at The Trident, BKC. We also ended up shooting the outfit since I loved the decor.

 

I wore this pretty orange lace dress which can also be worn off shoulder, but since I had layered it with a blazer, I wore it normally. I absolutely love the fit and how it hugs the waist and gives a shape and is not like a shift dress. Plus orange and yellow are my favourite colors <3

I wore this very light, floral blazer on top. It is so light, that I could comfortably wear it in these summers too. (obviously with the AC indoors) Since the dress and blazer are all bright and colorful, I skipped the accessories and kept the bag and shoes neutral.

So, I paired the outfit with my favourite Michael Kors sling (which you guys are bored of seeing now, but I am too lazy to change bags :D) and another current favourite, these tan brogues. Also added, a classic Daniel Wellington watch.

5 Fashionable Skirts Spotted Recently

5 Fashionable Skirts Spotted Recently

Hi guys,

Come summers, we stay far far away from denims and love our skirts and shorts. Well, I love more flirty,feminine kind of style, so I am totally a ‘skirt’ person.

I love all kinds of skirts: midi,flared,pencil,floral,lace,tulle. You name it and I have it 😀 But not that I don’t love shorts. When I am travelling or at a beach, I am all the time in my shorts. White shorts and lace shorts have to be my favourites! I love skorts too i.e. skirts + shorts. But if I have to select one, I will go with skirts 🙂

Here are some of my favourite skirts I spotted in the recent past and I absolutely loved..

1. Flared Skirt

Jessica Alba in this faux leather flared midi skirt looks smashing. She perfectly paired it with a geometric pattern printed crop top, black cross body (which she is using as an envelope clutch) and black ankle strap heels.

2. Midi Skirt

Blake Lively wore this beautiful flared white midi skirt with daisy applique and she looked oh so fab. She paired it with a simple tee, her vintage coatigan and added a pop of colour with a turquoise blue beaded statement necklace. The Barbie pink Louboutins completed the look. Only has some nice flared midi skirts.

3. Printed Skirts

Printed midi skirts are all the rage. Check out my printed midi skirt OOTD HERE. Parineeti Chopra wore this gorgeous red paint splatter skirt with a black Zara crop top and finished with a beautiful statement necklace and Jimmy Choos. Fab Alley has some beautiful printed skirts.

4. Pencil skirts

Alia Bhatt turned heads with the neon yellow crop top and black faux leather pencil skirt. The black and white striped heels, hand harness and the funky clutch went well with her outfit. Pencil skirts work with so many different tops and tees, be it printed, solid colour, faux leather. You definitely need 1-2 pencil skirts in your closet. Check out  The Vanca for perfectly fitting pencil skirts.

5. Tulle Skirt

And last but not the last, tulle/mesh/net/tutu skirts are also doing the rounds in the fashion circle. I have a black tulle skirt which I had done an outfit post with,some time back. I have another beige shorter mesh skirt. I absolutely love how this black tulle skirt is paired with a black and white top, and accessorized well with ankle strap black and white heels and a clutch, sunglasses and some bangles. The whole look has been kept monochrome which works well and complements the outfit.

Also, check out this video for some shorts and skirts ideas..

Are you a ‘shorts’ person or a ‘skirts’ person? What do you prefer and why? Also let me know your favourite skirt from the ones shared above, in the comments 🙂

OOTD: Sporty Chic

OOTD: Sporty Chic

Hi guys,

As you all know, I have been talking a lot about the Reliance Trends Spring Summer Collection 2015. We were invited at the Bandra Reliance Trends store to check out and review the collection and pick our favourites and style them 🙂

New Reliance Trends Collection included the brands Rio,Fig, Intribe, Fusion, DNMX and Team Spirit.

Rio has bright coloured tops and tees. Fig has nice summery tunics, sheer crop tops, harem pants,etc. DNMX was all about denim, from printed (polka dots too :p) denims to all types of pants, shorts and also nice denim shirts which mostly all of us picked 😀 It is perfect for layering in summers since quite thin and breathable. Intribe had floral numbered tops, lots of sheer and sequin and even faux leather. Fusion obviously had the Indo-western look and feel with bright skirts, shirts, kurtis,etc. And lastly, Team Spirit was all about casuals and sporty. Numbered tees, hoodie vests,stripes, etc.

For creating this look, I went went a vertical striped numbered tee from Team Spirit. I love how the number has an ombre effect <3 And paired it with blue skinny denims from DNMX, the ombre blue number on the tee matches and balances the outfit.

I paired it with my bright black and pink floral statement necklace, a classic watch, a pretty stone silver ring and studded black pumps. The reflecting sunnies steal the show though 😀 Absolutely loved the mirror reflecting round sunglasses.

The best part is all the brands are quite affordable and do not burn a hole in your pocket. The stuff is perfect for everyday wear and there is something for everyone,from sporty Team Spirit to trendy Fig and DNMX to Indo- western Fusion. You guys also have a chance to win this look and/or the looks created by other bloggers starting from 13th and going till 17th May on the Reliance  Trends facebook and twitter. Go follow now 😉
