Suit sets look pretty good whether in office or just casual everyday wear and some even for family get-togethers and light functions.
Also the best part about suit sets is that you can mix and match them and wear the bottom and dupatta with your other kurtis too.
I think suit sets are amazing for office as they look formal but are yet comfortable and pretty. I found some pretty good suits for women online.
Here are my picks..
1. Off White Cotton Kalidar Suit Set
I absolutely love this! White always looks pretty, more so with florals. This red floral print on the white dress with the white net palazzos and red geomtric print dupatta makes for a perfect combination.
2. Peach Cotton Kalidar Suit
I love the color peach, this one is perfect for summers. Kalis look elegant and feminine and the matching churidar and crushed dupatta go well with it. The kurti has gold work towards the bottom, and this is something which you can wear for family functions too.
3. Turquoise Straight Pant Suit
Again a beautiful pastel turquoise color with bursts of other pastels in it, perfect for summer. The straight fit style gives it a Pakistani suit look. Makes for great office wear.
4. Orange/Pink Cotton Kurta Set
Orange cotton voile printed kalidar kurta with embroidery on the placket, paired with solid churidar and printed pink dupatta. I love orange and pink combination. The geometric print in pink on the orange kurta overall with the mirror work on the border of the dupatta and the neckline of kurti merges really well.
5. Blue Cotton Leheriya Churidar
Leheriya printed straight fit blue kurta in cotton voile paired with white churidar and printed dupatta bordered in pink. Leheriya is evergreen, something that will never go out of trend. The crushed white and blue dupatta with the pink border looks very pretty.
These were some of my picks, as you saw some had basic color churidhars and dupattas too which you can combine with your other kurtis. I feel 2-3 of these suit sets are must have in our wardrobes.
Sometimes, miracles happen overnight. It required just one film to catapult Shraddha Kapoor to the status of an overnight sensation. With forgettable box-office duds like ‘Teen Patti’ and ‘Luv Ka The End’ in the past, Aashiqui2 opposite the dashing debonairhunk- Aaditya Roy Kapoor, came as a much-needed kiss of life to Shraddha. A few years down the line and the perky Marathi mulgi (as she considers herself more a Marathi than a Punjabi) is riding hide on the success of a number of her flicks. It’s hard to turn a blind eye to her effervescence, charm, vivaciousness and girl-next- door avatars. Let us feast our eyes to the Best off-screen looks of this pert actress then, shall we? 🙂
1. DURING ABCD2 PROMOTIONS – Tanya Ghavri has styled Shraddha for her ABCD 2 promo tour and looks like she took her task with utmost seriousness. Pairing a Hemant & Nandita creation with Zara flats, Shraddha looked her usual chirpy self. And not to forget her tousled brown locks look drool- worthy.
2. ALL SUITED UP- The ebullient Shraddha Kapoor’s feminine spin on the power suit is simply put-Style goals. The colour with zero accessories and nude makeup makes this look an out-and- out hit.
3. DURING THE HAIDER PROMOTIONS- And here comes the girl who no guy would think twice before popping the question. Carrying this beige look with sheer aplomb, Shraddha rocks in a soft, feminine dress and rounds it off with wavy hair.
4. UNLEASHING THE TOMBOY WITHIN- The livewire Shraddha, for the promotion of ABCD 2 attended an episode of the dance reality show- DID Super Moms with her ABCD2 co-star Varun Dhawan in a Gas grey denims and jacket with a white Zara graphic tee. Opting for a casual look, she completed her look by keeping her hair in a sleek ponytail, bracelets and a pair of gold Adidas sneakers. Talk of going funky and miss out Shraddha? Naah, that is just not happening anytime soon.
5. GOING BOHO CHIC- Going boho chic, Shraddha opts for a causal look in an Urvashi Kaur outfit. She completes it with a pink top and gypsy pants with a statement neckpiece by Blur designs, Gucci sandals and a quirky ombre hairdo. Certainly, my top pick out of all her looks.
6. FOR BAAGHI PROMOTONS- Sparkling in a Prabal Gurung black and blue blocked dress during the promotional tour of Baaghi, Shraddha kept her look minimal. She opted for side swept locks and black ankle strap sandals which rounded off her look.
7. UNLEASHING THE FEMININE SIDE- Swaddled in in DvF and Zara for the promotions of Haider on India’s Raw Star, Shraddha looked effortlessly stylish and chic. Not going overboard in styling is her USP. Have a look at her feline eyes and you’ll be transfixed.
Editor’s Note: All her outfits are so pretty and feminine, can relate to her style. Loved the 1st and 3rd dress.
Today I am talking about kurtis, how versatile kurtis are and there is one kurti for every occasion.
When it comes to the well-defined ‘Indian wear’, the first thing that comes to our mind while walking towards the closet is Kurti. This fashion trend never goes off and one of the best smart casual wear. In fact, Kurtis are so versatile that you can wear them for college, office, family events, day-out, party wear and literally every way you prefer.
Kurtis can be made adaptable with various styles like short or medium length, from various materials of cloth and the embroidery as well. thus, the exclusive designs, elaborate patterns, various hues and appealing shades blended with western as well as Indian styles has made Kurti so popular as a fashion trend. There are various reason to love them, different ways to pair them up.
I came across this site ‘Rangriti’ and they have such gorgeous kurtis. There is one for each occasion from work to more casual wear to more dressy ethnic. I have picked a few here and highlighted which can be worn for what occasion.
1. Yellow Short Kurti
Now this one is so colorful! I love the yellow and pink combination and the pom pom bead tie-ups. This is more of a casual wear. You can team it with denims or a nice, long, flared skirt. If going for a casual brunch, then with denims and if for some wedding related function like a mehendi, this would look perfect with a flared skirt in pink.
2. Indigo Blue mid length kurti
This will work with a white churidar for work and even a white skirt/palazzos for a more boho look. Team it with feather/beads/colorful accessories for a casual boho chic look.
3. Mustard yellow long kurti
Now this one can be a little dressy. Team it with a black churidar and maybe even a heavy dull gold work dupatta and you can wear it for a wedding.
There are so many ways to wear a kurti and one can dress it up or dress it down on teaming with correct bottoms and accessories. I love kurtis and have so many different styles of them in my wardrobe.
I love online shopping and the variety of kurtis available online these days is amazing. Also at very affordable prices. I would highly recommend to buy kurtis online.
What is your favourite way to wear a kurti? Do you go boho chic with kurtis? Let me know some of your ideas in the comments below.

The long summer is gone and it is getting pretty much cold day-by-day. Even though winter is for a very short time in India, it is about time to pack up those light weight cotton and linen clothing and bring out the jackets, scarfs and hoodies. If you thought women are the only ones who are interested in seasonal clothing and men don’t care at all, you are absolutely wrong. Men are more conscious of their attire and they like to be well quipped as well. Thus, we are going to going through the bang on-trends for 2016 to start working on a guy’s winter fashion game.
The only thing that comes to our mind when we think of winter is – jackets. From leather to shearling – it is a style statement in itself and a must have clothing item in the wardrobe of every man. The key to nailing winter style is to layer pieces of various fabrics to keep you warm without the bulk. Thus, layering can make you look stylish and impressive at the same time. Some winter jackets for men available include hooded, leather, long woolen ones, trench coat and others.
• Hooded Jackets –
A black hooded down jacket is a must have for a man’s wardrobe. It must be light weight jacket but should protect you from winter and keep the look trendy as well. The jacket is also a versatile one and works seamlessly with a number of outfits as well. You can layer over a shirt, t-shirt, etc. For jackets, you can also opt for the colours like Black, Brown and Blue. It will give you the perfect style statements for those winter treks, hike and outdoor sport and adventure activities.
• Duffle Bags –
How convenient are the convertible duffle bags? Yes, it is another must-have as well. Winter is the perfect time for trekking and other adventures. Men prefer to keep multitaskers at hand and hate to carry several elaborate things. So, a convertible duffle bag to a backpack is a versatile option to look out for. These are extremely sturdy and makes it easier to stash away all your essentials.
• Check pattern –
Check pattern is another savvy style stamen for the men. Mostly they prefer them over prints and patterns. Thus, subtle checks patterned shirts are extremely popular and can be easily own as a formal wear as well. The trend to the street with grunge-inspired checked outerwear and block color are also some style to look out for.
• Shearling coats –
Shearling coats is a cult classic for men. This is the perfect pick for winters and various brands have come up with their own style and cut. Also, Shearling coats are available in different models, styles and fabric combinations. Shearling is basically made from sheared sheep or lamb or from synthetic fibre. It is affordable and there’s nothing softer and cozier than wool in the colder months.
• Leather jackets –
How can your wardrobe be complete without leather jackets? It has become a symbol of a symbol of rebel culture and ruggedness. Leather jackets are a wardrobe essential that every man can pull off. These are perfect for transitional weather as well as colder months. It has such amazing versatility which allows you to use them in a casual outfit or to smart up your style with just a few simple twists.
• Cardigan –
Whoever said cardigans aren’t manly, haven’t seen a man style it well. The style of cardigan has come a long way since the 1850’s. Various fashion designers have been trying out this style and makes it look brilliantly smart and casual. . This multi-purpose piece of fashion apparel can be worn with a suit and tie, and will look as stylish when worn with either a smart polo shirt – buttoned up of course – or a plain t-shirt on a warm summer evening.
• Scarfs –
Scarf is another fashion statement for men and the best way to deck up for the fall and winter time. Whether a man wears a scarf with casual jeans or a suit, it adds a stylish element and charm to the personality. There are various ways to tie a scarf and you can wear it for both formal and casual occasions. It’s also a good rule of thumb to keep the rest of the outfit simple so it isn’t competing with the scarf for attention.
So, how do you think you are going to carry out the winter look this year?
Another OOTD for you. I love midi dresses, especially these flared kinds. They look very flattering on all body types.
White and Red is one of my favourite combination, this dress had red abstract print on white base. It’s from Dainty Jewells. They have a beautiful collection of dresses, available in a large variety of sizes. Also a lot of bridesmaid dresses.
I paired it with my gold watch, tan sling and nude strappy heels. Since the dress was bright enough, I kept the accessories neutral as otherwise the colors would clash and be too loud.
Dress: Dainty Jewells
Heels: Zara
Bag, Watch: Michael Kors
Earrings: House of Tuhina
I know I haven’t done an OOTD here since a long time, that’s coz of Instagram! Yes, I usually post my OOTD’s and outfit pics with details there, so you don’t see many OOTD’s here on the blog. If you want to see my regular OOTD’s, follow me on Instagram @bhumika_t
I did a special shoot for 3 outfits recently and hence I made sure I post it on the blog and not just Instagram.
I had this dress since quite some time now, but due to monsoons or some or the other event, I couldn’t get to shoot in this. Also since the material is raw silk, it gets crinkled super easily. This shoot was right after I had got this from ironing and still it has crinkled :/
Failed attempt at twirling
But nonetheless, it is also the material which is very comfortable and looks really nice! Love the silhouette.
I love the sleeves and the gold embellishment work on the sleeves. This dress is from a Kolkata based brand Mada Sasa. They make customized fusion wear like drapes, gowns, kurtis, tunics, etc. Also they make it in your customized sizing as per the measurements given. Check out more on www.madasasa.com or their facebook page HERE
I paired it with my nude Zara strappy heels, a cocktail ring, fusion bracelet and a gold clutch.
Dress: Mada Sasa
Heels: Zara
Ring: Eesha Zaveri
Bracelet: House of Tuhina
Earrings: Dang
Clutch: Gift from Kerastase
Choc-a- bloc schedules with film assignments, dubbing, movie promotions at myriad venues, advert shoots, press conferences, store launches, award ceremonies and frequent outdoor shoots… phew! It would be arduous to swaddle oneself in the trendiest of outfits and showcase one’s sense of style every time a star steps out. The struggle is all the more tedious for a Bollywood actress who is screened from top to toe for her style, while a male celeb may evade the lens of the fashion police, scot-free even after committing the most heinous of fashion faux pas.
In the midst of all this, B-town celebs, particularly the female ones end up crossing each other’s paths swathed in the same outfit! Now, that is not a blunder per se. One may have an idea of what they would wear for a particular event, but how is one supposed to have any inkling of others sartorial choices given one’s hectic schedules? So, while wearing the same attire is admissible and not at all cringe-worthy in my opinion, yet we can surely assess who wore it better – that is, who brought to the outfit their sense of style, individuality and panache? They say- Never let clothes wear you. So, let us check out who did the same. Let it out in the comments section.
1. DEEPIKA OR SONAM- ‘Great minds think alive’ so goes an adage. Certainly, in this case, when two of Bollywood’s leading ladies in the present time and ace fashionistas think alike, we get to treat our eyes to their winsome appearances. Both the ladies decided to wear the same sarees but at different events. While Deepika swaddled herself in a cut sleeve blouse and a high pony at one of the events of Chennai Express’ promotions, Sonam sported a vintage look with three-quarter- sleeved blouse and a loose bun for Bhaag Milkha Bhaag promotions.
2. YAMI, PARINEETI OR ALIA- All belonging to the new crop of Tinsel-town- Yami Gautam, Parineeti Chopra and Alia Bhatt decided to team a see-through black-n- white top with denims to keep the look easy-going and laidback. Although there may emerge a winner amongst Yami and Alia, but Parineeti underwhelmed thanks to the faux pas she suffered.
3. KAREENA OR DEEPIKA- And now that’s what you call an exact replica! The dimpled Deepika stepped out in a mesmeric houndstooth print outfit to promote Ram Leela on the sets of Kapil Sharma’s comedy show. Coincidentally, not long ago, the feisty Kareena Kapoor Khan posed for the cover of a magazine in an exact replica of the outfit.
4. SHILPA OR DEEPIKA- And here come the ladies who have the best bodies in Bollywood without any iota of doubt! Naturally, any dress would complement the two, but what if the two sultry lasses zero in on the same attire? Scroll upwards and decide for yourselves. Baffled, aren’t you? Clearly here, only the skirt of both the divas is common yet, even that is sufficient to draw parallels. While Deepika teamed up her floral print Zara skirt with a bishop sleeved top, Shilpa opted for a loose white top gathered with a belt with the same skirt.
5. DEEPIKA OR PARINEETI- Opting for a blue and red number with psychedelic prints, the statuesque Deepika Padukone and the pert Parineeti Chopra both held court at the respective events they wore it to. While Deepika wore the dress first at a Film Awards announcement conference in January 2016, Parineeti was seen wearing the dress at a photoshoot a few months later.
6. KATRINA OR SONAKSHI- Clad in a short printed dress, both Katrina Kaif and Sonakshi ‘shotgun’ Sinha looked like sisters cut from the same cloth. While Katrina wore the one-piece at the audio launch of Bang Bang, Sonakshi swaddled herself in the same raiment in one of the songs of Action Jackson.
7. KAREENA OR DEEPIKA- And it is Kareena Kapoor Khan versus Deepika Padukone again! Both the A-list actresses of Tinsel-town seem to have a similar taste in fashion, don’t they? This was the second instance when they stepped out wearing the same attire. Kareena walked the green carpet of IIFA 2014 in a black Giorgio Armani gown, a slight variation of which Deepika sported at IIFA 2016. While Kareena added a sheer to cover up her frontal bare, Deepika decided to bare it all and raising the oomph of the apparel by leaps and bounds.
Editor’s Note: 4 out of 7 are Deepika :/ I hope she has better stylists now 😀
Remember the previous post on Bollywood ladies who sizzle in bikinis? Weren’t you left slobbering, drooling and wanting for more? The ladies certainly sported bikinis with enormous aplomb, confidence and a sense of pride in their bodies that one couldn’t help but have their heartbeats race at a pace most F1 racers would be put to shame. So here you with a brief rundown of those Bollywood Ladies whose swimsuit avatars have been the most graceful, tasteful and magnetic of all.
1. KATRINA KAIF- If you thought her abs in Kala Chashma were a treat to your eyes, think again! The lady’s got more to soothe your eyes. Her pink swimsuit avatar in Sau Aasmaano song from Baar Baar Dekho gives one a no-holds barred view of her sculpted sun-kissed body as she saunters on the picturesque beaches in the song. Katrina Kaif donned a pink swimsuit in Baar Baar Dekho and made sure that she brought a carefree and laidback attitude to an otherwise sultry swimsuit.
2. PRIYANKA CHOPRA- Priyanka Chopra, PC for short ensured that the temperature on the beaches of Miami increased by a few notches when she strutted in a shimmery golden swimsuit in Dostana. What I can say for certain is that cine-goers back home had their jaws drop in awe.
3. SHILPA SHETTY- And here comes another Dostana girl! Shilpa Shetty Kundra has a body sculpted to perfection. Period. But when she swaddles herself in an itsy-bitsy swimsuit while grooving to the tunes of ‘Shut Up and Bounce’ all you can do is look at her unblinkingly while controlling yourself from slobbering.
4. SHRADHHA KAPOOR- Her face and frame both bill her as a typical happy-go- lucky, effervescent and exuberant girl-next- door whom you would have always wanted to ask out for a date but couldn’t summon the courage to. But when the livewire Shraddha sports a swimsuit (with an enviable bralette) not only do you get an impetus to modify your beach wardrobe majorly but also you are left gasping for more.
5. KIARA ADVANI- The Fugly actress ensured that she took all her fans by surprise as she posed in a black swimsuit for the magazine cover of Maxim India February 2015. Kiara Advani’s sensual avatar here certainly grabs one’s eyeballs.
6. ESHA GUPTA- The Desi Angelina Jolie- Esha Gupta oozed seduction, magnetism and appeal as she swaddled herself in an itsy-bitsy swimsuit for Elle Magazine. The cover of the magazine reads “Esha Gupta in summer’s sexiest swimwear”. After having a look at it, one cannot help but nod almost hypnotically in approval.
7. JACQUELINE FERNANDEZ- Sri Lankan import and former beauty queen- Jacqueline Fernandez unleashed her sensual and sultry facet as she sent the carnal interests of one and all into a tizzy with her audacious and alluring swimsuit appearances in Murder 2. She certainly raised the visual appeal of the thriller by a few notches, we say!
Editor’s Note: I saw the movie yesterday and Katrina looked fab, the only good thing to see in the terrible movie :p She looked mesmerizing in that hot pink bikini with voluminous, blow dried hair and that tan! Also Esha Gupta and Shilpa Shetty can rock anything! Super hot bods! Agree on PC too, that gold bikini scene is unforgettable 😀
5 Fashion Questions You Must Ask Yourself Before going to the University
There are always a couple of things that you should ask yourself before going out in order to look appropriate on every occasion. Fashion plays quite a big role in the students’ everyday lives therefore put your custom essay aside and read this article to know how to wear the clothes your group mates may even envy for.
⦁ What do I want to show and tell?
Ask yourself why are you going to wear exactly these clothes? What do you want to tell the world? What is your mood today?
For example, if you want to attract the boys’ attention, wear a short skirt and a blouse or a T-shirt with a deep V-neck. If you want to make people see that you do not care about style and comfort is the only thing you care, then wear jeans and a large blouse. In addition, ask yourself if the clothes you want to wear are going to grab an attention of people or make them laugh? If you feel uncomfortable with something, take it off or replace.
⦁ Is it my size and does my figure have a normal shape?
Check the sizes and the structure of your clothes before going to the university because nobody wants to have a figure that looks weird. Sometimes bulges can disappear if you wear a push-up bra or a fitted sweater. However, some clothes need to be fixed by a tailor. However, if you have the rapper style or you are too slim and want to seem bigger, than the size of your clothes may be bigger.
⦁ Do I look perfect (and probably appealing)?
Check your outfit for flaws and fix them. Consider ironing every item. In case if you see a big hole or a couple of missing buttons on your clothes, it may be better to change the outfit. Do not accept the busted clothes, be always accurate and spick-and-span. In addition, it is recommended to take a look at all the clothes in your wardrobe monthly and divide them into three piles: 1) Good clothes 2) Clothes that you are not going to wear anymore 3) Clothes that you need to fix. Track your wardrobe!
⦁ Does my style change when I take some accessories off?
Sometimes we want to wear some accessories that can grab the attention fast. It may be a bright hat or a scarf. However, what if it will be too hot and you will want to take it off? If you feel that your style will have negative changes if you will remove the scarf or hat, then consider making some changes in your outfit.
⦁ Do I feel as a superstar?
Clothes usually make us feeling powerful. Every girl knows that a new beautiful dress can make us feel like a princess. You should wear the clothes that seem to make people saying “wow” when they see you.
Successful people try to wear the outfit that looks not only trendy and appropriate but that gives them a feeling that they can do everything as well.
All in all, there are Top 5 questions that you must ask yourself before going to the university. Feel free to combine the styles and make different matches until you look perfect! In addition, do not listen to others, make your own choices and be happy. Good luck!
