Having stepped out of their functional role, Sunglasses are today an important fashion accessory. They donít just shield your eyes from the glare caused by the sun, shades give you an oomph factor too. From celebrities to the whoís-who of the society, everybodyís crazy about sunglasses. Clearly, clearer vision on a bright day is not the only thing. Owning a designer pair of sunglasses is very important.

Contact Lenses come in two categories ñ soft and RGP (Rigid Gas Permeable). Apart from the daily wear transparent lenses, coloured lenses are also available. Get your monthly deliveries of contact lenses without much ado. Our customer care executives call you themselves to confirm a fresh order. You can flaunt a different eye colour each time you go to a party or any special occasion.

I had specs from my 4th standard and there were only these 2-3 opticians in your local market in those days. A proper ophthalmologist would check your power and prescribe the number. And then you go to the optician, and select one out of the 10-15 boring frames !! Like, literally boring. I have even worn Gandhiji glasses :hides face:

But, gone are those days now ! With everything being online these days, why should your glasses, lenses or branded shades be far away. Now, you can get the design you want, the brand you want, the color, the look, there are so many options and just a click away. With a site like Lenskart.com, you can stock your contact lenses or buy the frame you like and get it delivered at your doorstep, plus I guess, you always save some bucks with those extra discounts and coupons (I do :D)

Many people these days love to experiment with colored lenses, those are easily available too. And some drool worthy shades from Maui Jim, Ray Ban, Tifosi, Oakley, Vogue, etc..The collection of Ray Ban sunglasses at lenskart.com is pretty awesome. Surely worth checking out.

You can see the different views from a 360 degrees angle and also on your own pic before buying. They also have a try and buy policy which means you pay cash on delivery, only if you try it and like it. I love that !

I am really loving those cat eyed geeky glasses these days and eyeing one from Lenskart. Definitely getting it.

How to Look the Best on a Night Out at the Casino

How to look the best on a night out at the casino

For those who have never visited a land based casino, there may be several questions about what to expect. After all, these venues are much different than the online casinos on the internet. Of course, some online establishments  don’t require a dress code. One question many women have when looking at casinos relates to what kind of clothing to wear, if you look at casino films in Hollywood, the outfits are always high in glamour. But is this a necessity when going to a casino in real life? The best answer to this question is to contact the specific casino itself for more information. The website can be consulted or a call can be placed to the casino. The usual response will be a smart casual dress code which in some situations may be known as business casual.

Even though it’s not an ensemble comprised of separates, dresses can fall within the realm of smart casual. The hem length must be decent, generally, it should fall at the knees. Never wear a dress that has a hem shorter than that. Carefully consider colours and patterns when choosing a dress. Certain patterns aren’t as dressy even if the cut of the dress is. Black is always a wise choice as it can be dressed up or down with accessories like blazers, scarves or jewellery.

While some women may not want to wear dresses to the casino, they do have many other options. Slacks can be part of any smart casual outfit. They should be loose fitting. Avoid tighter styles as they aren’t quite dressy enough. Also, avoid fabrics that wrinkle easy. For instance, during the summer months, linen is a popular fabric but it does wrinkle easy which won’t keep you looking great during the night at the casino. Casual slacks can be worn which would include chinos and corduroys. If wearing these, the top garments of the outfit should be smart in nature to balance out the slacks.

What do you prefer to wear to a casino ?

OOTD: Black Sequin Collar Shirt, Striped Puff Skirt

OOTD: Black Sequin Collar Shirt, Striped Puff Skirt

Hey guys,

I am back with an OOTD..I love skirts and I love stripes…and this black and white striped puff skirt is one of my favorites! How cute is it..the puff totally adds to its cuteness.

I paired it with a black sleeveless shirt with black sequin work on the collar..it extends till the back. So adds to the oomph of this shirt ! And this shirt goes with so many of my outfits..I think you can’t wrong with a basic black or white shirt..you would have tons of combinations to pair them with (exaggerated..but 5-6 minimum :D) Monochrome works for me always.

Its good for both formal and casual wear..you can transition from day to night with some changes with this kind of outfit.  (You can change the shoes to chic pumps) Whether a formal brunch or a fun meet with your girlfriends, this look totally works.

I kept accessories minimal with only pearl studs and my favorite Daniel Wellington watch. Looks classier and elegant this way. And since the collar is already sequin embellished, you do not need any statement necklace..the collar itself is a highlight. I went with these super sexy spiked T- strap white block heels. And a red lipstick to finish off.

I love you all <3

Btw, this top is from Possimus..and I hauled a bit from there..I loved some of their pieces..quiet eclectic and different.

Aishwarya Rai, Sonam Kapoor: Cannes 2014

First of all guys, this is my 1500th post! I still can’t believe my 1500th post is about Sonam or Ash, coz I don’t like either :/ But yay anyhoo 😀

Coming to the post, a lot has been said about Sonam and Aishwarya already! I would just like to give my 2 cents on it..

Aishwarya Rai was a stunner at Cannes 2014! She stole the show completely..a total veteran! Though by far, this has been her best Cannes 2014 appearance from years and years..this is my favorite year of hers..

On the 1st day (extreme right), she chose a golden corset shaped mermaid like Roberto Cavalli gown..with oh so perfect makeup and hair! Soft wavy loose hair and L’Oreal Paris Moist Mat Lipstick in Lincoln Rose with falsies and oodles of L’Oreal Paris Voluminous Mascara does the trick here.

Though the gown was copied from Broadway star Kristin Chenoweth who wore it to the recent Academy Awards..but nonetheless full credits to Ash to look stunning in it!

On the 2nd day (center), she again chose a Roberto Cavalli..this time a silver and went for smokey eyes and nude lips..nothing too fancy here..though the gown is good..but repetitive after the 1st day.

3rd day (extreme left) Ash went for this beige gold Armani Prive gown..bright teal eyes and red lips. Ok, why is that push up bra clashing with the plunging neckline..we do not want to know how perky your assets are at this age..we know its a push up bra, Dear Ash..spare us. Though the gown is nice and could have been worn in a better way..the bust area looks off..red lips work with this gown but why the bright teal eyes!

So,overall only the 1st look was a bomb and killer..and the most remembered look for years to come..one of Aishwarya Rai’s best in her career..she looked super confident too. And the L’Oreal Moist Mat in Lincoln Rose has been selling off like hot cakes coz of her!!

Coming to our very own ‘self-proclaimed style icon’ Sonam Kapoor.

Sonam Kapoor has showcased 3 very different red carpet looks this year. An Anamika Khanna traditional Sari and 2 Elie Saab Couture gowns..the black was fantabulous! So princessy and grecian..I had no words..rest two outfits were pretty ok..nothing to wow us. I love her Chopard jewellery! Stunning pieces..can make any girl go weak in the knees.

Makeup wise Sonam Kapoor made sensible choices on all the days..all thanks to Namrata Soni. I loved the nude lip with L’Oreal Moist Mat Lipstick in Maple Mocha.

Whom did you like the most or rather which look did you like the most ? I loved the 1st day look for both the girls..

OOTD: Gray Fuchsia Glitter Saree (Imaginary Red Carpet ?)

Hey everyone,

I am back with an OOTD..this time a saree! I have done one in an yellow saree long back HERE.

This time its a beautiful gray and fuchsia pink saree with a heavy glitter border..this is so perfect for parties, receptions,etc..

Its from TriveniSarees.com. They have an amazing collection of sarees, salwar kameez, lehengas and even jewellery and accessories. They have also brought a few designers on board..so you see designer wear too..and not only that, you have mens wear, kids wear and bed linen too..its like a one stop shop..good for brides too..perfect trousseau shopping place..this saree is also going to be a part of my trousseau. They also have plain brocade and digital print material which they sell per metre. They do the fall edging of the saree for free..and you can buy a standard cotton petticoat along for Rs.150 extra and get the blouse stitched for Rs.600 extra. And if you are the types who have difficulty wearing a saree, you can get the saree prestitched and the stitched blouse both for Rs.1000 extra. You just need to slip into the saree 😀 Cool, is’nt it ?

And the blouse is a normal silver one..which I got designed by my tailor..the design turned out good but not the fit :/ :Sigh: These tailors!

I paired it with silver mesh earrings and a simple gold and silver kada any my Titan Raga watch..And and my hot pink Valentino dupes!! OMG I can’t describe how high the heel is..killing feet literally..how do models walk in them is a big mystery to me! :/

Coming to the makeup, I used the new L’oreal Paris L’Or Lumiere Collection (read HERE) which consists of new Gel Matic Eye Pencils and Moist Mat Lipsticks. I have used the Gel Matic in Turbo Turquoise (other 4 shades in this range are Deep Brown, Silver Mania, Glamor Gold and Blue Force) and the Moist Mat Lipstick in Flaming Kiss here (Lincoln Rose, Glamour Fuchsia and Raspberry Syrup are my other favorites from this range..supposedly Aishwarya Rai wore Lincoln Rose with her first golden Roberto Cavalli gown at the Cannes 2014).

The Gel Matic Pencil in Turbo Turquoise is quite a nice vibrant turquoise shade..and glides on smooth too, was very easy to apply and it stayed put on the upper lashline throughout the day and was difficult to remove too..but does not stay long on the waterline.

Moist Mat Lipstick in Flaming Kiss is a reddish orange..not too ‘in your face’ kinda bright..but very wearable one..I loved it! Its super pigmented and goes full out in one swipe. Though it stays 3-4 hours and with eating and drinking about 2 hours. But, easy to reapply,no patchiness or dry lines.

I used a satin taupe eyeshadow on the eyes and lined my upper lashline and half the lower lashline with the Gel Matic in Turquoise and the Flaming Kiss Lipstick.

Please excuse my hair..I know they look weird here :/

Sorry for the changes in lighting..the sun was dancing..and also if you feel my foundation is lighter, let me tell you its not. My neck and body and slightly face too have turned darker..I got badly tanned..and 4 shades darker at the Beauty and the Blogger show..and trying to get rid of the tan..but I guess it would take some time..

Saree: Triveni Sarees
Heels: HERE
Earrings : Ayesha Accessories
Watch: Titan Raga

How did you like the look ? Not that I would wear this for a real red carpet! :p But anyhoo 😀 Do let me know in the comments below 🙂

Who Wore What- IIFA Awards 2014 and the Green Carpet

So after the press conference, promotions and pre- events which I covered HERE, lets move on to the main awards IIFA 2014.

My hits and misses..

1. Jahnvi Kapoor in D & G

Jahnvi chose a Dolce & Gabbana full skirted dress and strappy sandals..with a soft, messy updo. Cute, I did say.

2. Parineeti Chopra in Nikhil Thampi

Pari chose this one shoulder peach Nikhil Thampi gown..the color is good..but is it not a little too simple ? I did not like the Rahul Mishra one sheer skirt though..did not flatter her figure..this is atleast better.

3. Kalki in Gaurav Gupta

Kalki in a grey Gaurav Gupta gown with silver detailing all over. No, a little too much..plus the color is too dull on her.

4. Yami Gautam in Gauri and Nainika

Yami in this monochrome Gauri Nainika gown..though it screams high school..but she always looks cute !

5. Dia Mirza in Sabyasachi

Dia looked amazing in this pink and gold ombre Sabyasachi embellished gown with Amrapali jewellery..that dress is stunning !

6. Gauahar Khan in Ken Ferns

Gauahar in a red Ken Ferns gown..is it Christmas already ?! Did not like the silhouette too.

7. Kareena Kapoor in Armani

Kareena chose this black sheer panel Armani dress..a little too bold..but she pulled it off quiet well !

8. Sridevi in Oscar De La Renta

Sridevi chose this black shimmery Oscar De La Renta gown..perfect makeup, hair updo and studs..she looks ravishing !

9. Priyanka Chopra in Monique Lhuillier

PC chose this embellished nude Monique Lhuillier gown..smokey eyes and an elegant updo..she looked great.

10. Sonakshi Sinha in Amit Aggarwal

Shimmery Navy Blue Amit Aggarwal gown, Bottega Veneta clutch, soft wavy hair..Sonakshi looked quiet good.

11. Deepika Padukone in Zuhair Murad

Dippy chose a Lebanese designer Zuhair Murad red lace gown..I liked the gown..but the berry lip :/ Does not work with this at all.

12. Dia Mirza in Halston Heritage

Beautiful peachy orange pleated Halston Heritage gown, Jimmy Choo clutch and an Amrapali multi chained layered necklace..Dia looks stunning here !

12. Madhuri Dixit in Sonaakshi Raaj

Again a Sonaakshi Raaj after Bipasha in white..this time Madhuri chose a different color..and I am glad..coz that color looks amazing on her..loved it. (Both these Sonaakshi Raaj outfits are from the recent Lakme Fashion Week S/R 2014..and I had attended this show)

13. Swara Bhaskar in BCBG

Swara chose this coral BCBG illusion panel dress..I like how the illusion panel works on her..nice..

14. Kareena in Armani

Kareena chose a Giorgio Armani again..separates here..a beaded white top and velvet paneled skirt..bright orange lips completed the look.

Also there were many blacks ! Madhuri chose a black Jatin Varma and Malaika a Shivan Narresh, Bipasha a Rocky S..too many black gowns seen !

I loved Sridevi, Madhuri, Kareena, Dia and Priyanka !

So, whats your pick ? Whose outfit did you like the most ?

P.S : I do not own any images.

OOTD: Leopard Print Crop Top, Blue Pencil Skirt

Hey everyone,

I am back with an OOTD..so crop tops are like so IN these days..and they are everywhere..at Forever 21, you will only see crop tops ! And the young girls these days are loving the trend..

Here in this outfit, I paired a leopard print crop top with a navy blue pencil skirt..and black ankle strap wedges and a crocodile print black bag.

Since the crop top was the main piece of attraction here and its high neck, I did not add any statement necklace..just some gold midi rings a hollow gold bracelet.

I am in loveee with these black ankle strap suede wedges..they are so comfy..I have danced 2 hrs in them ! I can literally live in them..and they look so chic <3 Also available in blue and white..

Some tips on wearing a crop top:

  • Pair it with pencil skirt/midi skirt/palazzos
  • Don’t wear it if you are apple shaped or have extra love handles
  • Show only a little bit of skin, if you are not too comfy
  • And if you are not comfy showing any skin, you can layer it over a tank/camisole (If you have seen my outfit on Instagram, I wore a striped crop top layered over a basic tank)

So yes, go and rock the crop top ! If you wear a crop top, do tag me on twitter or facebook or Instagram 🙂

On Lips: Revlon Lacquer Balm in Tease
