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.

OOTD: Sporty Chic, Indian Fashion Blogger

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 😉

Jewellery Haul from La Elegante’

Jewellery Haul from La Elegante’

La Elegante’ is the baby of Mumbai based Shalini who started this facebook store last March and now has avid buyers from all over India and also gets international requests time and again. Check out her page and jewellery HERE.

About La Elegante’ (In Shalini’s words): ‘La Elegante’ is an online store which deals with trendy fashion jewellery and Ethnic Temple Jewellery. La Elegante’ was launched on March 8 2014 on the one day celebrated across the world as Woman’s Day – after all our store is also about “Celebrating Womanhood” .

For a very long time fashion has been my passion and that’s exactly the basis of my store as well. La Elegante’ – the place where Fashion is a Passion!

Its run by me …my name is Shalini Girish …an avid reader, music buff and my stress busters are my kids and my guitar…helps me unwind.

Life is fashionable and bliss….touche’

I loved the simple pearl pieces and the beautiful temple jewellery she stocks. I love temple jewellery and I feel it looks amazing with a simple South Indian saree. Also the fact that her prices are pretty reasonable compared to other online facebook stores.

I bought these pretty pieces recently from her store recently. They were neatly packed in separate plastic covers with bubble wrap and all together in a bigger plastic box.

This beautiful red and black beaded tribal necklace is my most favourite! How pretty and statementy is it! Can’t wait to pair it with my simple tees and shirts as this is more than enough and a statement in itself.

A white and gold layered pearl statement bracelet, a pair of gold and white square earrings. Isn’t that design quite cute.

And this pearl and diamante ring..

How pretty is this ring!

OOTD: Zovi Mustard Yellow Top with Gold Accessories

OOTD: Zovi Mustard Yellow Top with Gold Accessories

Hey guys,

A new OOTD, this time a pretty mustard yellow top from Zovi.com. I have shopped quite a lot of times from Zovi till date. I also got a very pretty polka dots dress and these blue and black ballerinas with this top for #BlogForZovi

I tried the shoes and they were a size smaller,so I had to exchange them. Though the process was smooth, it did take some time. Also I did not bother to try the dress before coz it was the usual size I order from Zovi and this top is of the same size. Unfortunately the dress is smaller and that is the first time I have faced it with Zovi.

Usually they have a measurement recommendation guide where you enter your stats and they recommend you the perfect size. Even that recommendation suggested the usual size. I really wanted to wear the dress and show it you guys in this post 🙁 I have initiated an exchange process again, I hope it happens quicker this time. I will surely do another OOTD with that dress 😀

Coming to this package, the process of ordering on Zovi is quite smooth since it is very user friendly and the navigation is also easy. They usually give you an expected delivery date but I have always received my parcels before the expected date.

I love this mustard yellow top with ruffled sleeve pattern and a gold button on the sides. It is simple and chic and can be accessorized well like I have here. Also these blue and black ballerinas with a buckle on top are comfortable and pretty, would go with a lot of casuals.

I paired the look with my gold accessories from Regium and my new Michael Kors Selma sling.

Top: Zovi
Shoes: Zovi
Denims: Kraus
Necklace, Cuff: Regium
Bag: Michael Kors

I also created this men’s casual wear set with items from Zovi..

I hope you like the looks..do let me know in the comments below 🙂

OOTD: Geek Chic

OOTD: Geek Chic

Hey guys,

An OOTD again, the last one from Hong Kong. We went for the Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car at Lantau Islands in Hong Kong. Its a 5.7km long bi-cable car system which connects from Tung Chung MTR station to Ngong Ping Village. Ngong Ping Village is home to Po Lin Monastery and Tian Tan Buddha which is an 112 ft bronze seated Buddha Statue.

The cable car experience was fun, it seemed never ending and was on a huge huge height with a lake in between, and a small station halt.

I wore this ‘Geek’ tee with my black skirt and my trusted favourite blazer.

Pairing it with my Daniel Wellington watch,Ray Bans and 2-3 bracelets stacked together. And of course, my super comfortable Bata slip ons.

Tee: Romwe
Shoes: Bata (Also seen HERE)
Watch: Daniel Wellington
Sunglasses: Ray Ban (Also seen HERE)

March Fab Bag Review + Giveaway

March Fab Bag Review + Giveaway

Hey guys,

Remember Vellvette Box..it was the first beauty box in India. Later on, it changed their name and revamped to Fab Bag.

About Fab Bag: At FAB BAG, we are beauty experts and addicts driven by our passion for high quality beauty products and delightful service. We recognize that our members are beauty enthusiastic women looking for great products that would work for their specific beauty needs and tastes, but do not have enough time, access or resources to try out and experience all that is available. We work hard in association with brands to select 3 amazing products exclusively customized for each member and send them in a delightful box to her doorstep every month, so that she never has to make the expensive mistake of buying products that do not work for her! We also advise members on how to make the best use of these products and keep them abreast of the latest beauty and fashion trends and insider know-how through our magazine.

MRP: Rs.599/- per month

You also get discounts on 6 months and 12 months subscription. Currently they are giving a Deborah Milano Atomic Lipstick free with 6-months subscription and Clinique Blush/Eyeshadow mini palette with 12-months subscription. Subscribe HERE

I love the concept of bags how they have a different customized bag each month according to the monthly theme. Also these bags are pretty useful and handy for travel,etc when you want to carry some basic makeup/skincare

For the month of March, they have a Woman’s Day Special Fab Bag. It’s a cute bright pink pouch with a Coco Chanel quote and also they are running a campaign called #MakeupForDifference where you can leave a message here http://fabbag.com/makeupfordifference/ and for every message, Rs.50/- shall be donated on your behalf to these inspiring Fab Women.

Let’s have a look at the contents of my March Fab Bag:

  • Inveda BB Cream in Fair- Full size (Rs.140/- for 15ml)
  • SoultTree Kajal in Pure Black- A special 3g packaging (Rs.340/- for 5g)
  • Palladio Herbal Lipstick in Rosey Plum- Full size (Rs.650/-)
  • Sebastian Professional Hydre Shampoo- 50ml (Rs.1400/- for 250ml)
  • Fashionography Earrings

To start with the Inveda BB cream, its quiet nice and good for everyday use. Only issue being just 2 shades available: Fair and Matt

I have tried the SoulTree Kajal before, the Pure Black is much smoother than other colors which go on a little hard. Also its all natural and organic made from ghee and camphor, but if you are looking for something smudge free, this won’t help at all.

I loved a full sized lipstick in the bag, though I wish I would have got some other matte shade. This shade Rosey Plum has shimmer and I am not a fan of shimmer.

I like the Sebastian shampoo deluxe size and would be carrying it for my next travel.

Absolutely loved these cute butterfly blue earrings from Fashionography.

Overall, some hits and misses. Though more of hits for the price of Rs.599/-. I absolutely recommend giving Fab Bag a try.

Coming to the giveaway now, one of you lucky one wins this March Fab Bag. I am hosting a giveaway for the same,on my Instagram.

All you need to do is follow me HERE and Fab Bag on Instagram and repost the first image tagging 2 of your friends. The giveaway starts right now and ends after a week on 25th March.

Good Luck 🙂

OOTD: Cliché Red on Valentine’s Day

OOTD: Cliché Red on Valentine’s Day

Hey guys,

An OOTD after a long time, of course its not new since I can’t even stand yet but hopefully soon. I had done a shoot for this dress in early Jan and was waiting for an occasion to post it, when I saw the pics I thought today is the perfect day to post this red dress.

I am not a person who would usually wear red, so Valentine’s Day would have been a good occasion/reason to wear red.

I love how this dress fits snuggly, ends over the knees giving it a pencil skirt look and has pockets at the front. It is super comfy and figure flattering.

This dress is from Jifsy.in (also available in black), they have such amazing dresses especially bodycon ones. Loved the variety,simple and chic. Good for formal wear too. A special coupon code ‘newlove-makeup’ to get 22% off on  Jifsy.

I paired it with pearl necklace, gold cuff and midi rings. Black gladiator heels with gold studs to complete the look.

 

Dress: Jifsy
Heels: Amiclubwear
Necklace: W for Woman
Cuff, Midi rings: Romwe

I hope you liked the look..do let me know in the comments below. What are you wearing today?
