OOTD: Faux Leather Peplum Top, Polka Dots Slouchy Pants

OOTD: Faux Leather Peplum Top, Polka Dots Slouchy Pants

Hey guys,

I know I had done the summery floral dress OOTD recently. But since, I had done that after a long time, I have few more for you guys. There is one more this week 😀

OOTD: Faux Leather Peplum Top, Polka Dots Slouchy Pants, Solester Interchangeable Uppers Flats, Indian Fashion Blog

I am loving slouchy pants this season. I have loved them in summers and they are still good for the rains, if they are cropped. Reason: They don’t stick like denims, they are thinner so they dry quickly and are super super comfy. I already have a polka dot one but in black base. See HERE. This one is in white..and I bought another plain peach slouchy pants from the Zara sale. :p

I paired them with this faux leather black peplum top which has a triangle knot cut out at the back. And completed it with my favorite leopard metal and leather statement necklace and my trusted black bag.

Its more of a ‘casual comfy meet goth’ kinda look.

Added the Daniel Wellington watch and my current favorite Solester flats.

 

More about Solester.com:  “My new footwear is so damn cool but still i can’t wear it with every dress.” #EveryGirlsProblem

Solester is a one of its kind transformable footwear that demonstrates a new horizon in the Indian footwear industry. As the tagline – The joy of changing it, often clearly implies, the footwear allows for changing multiple uppers on a single sole. It’s perceived to be a dream come true for a women who has to everyday match her dress with a matching shoe.

The uppers are made from high quality leather with comfort and style forming the sole basis of the product. It brings out the designer self in you and allows for a mix and match to create many different looks in accordance with the dress and mood that you are wearing.

With the patent pending technology, the uppers are attached to the robust and comfortable sole safely without compromising on the quality and style. Solester is a result of a dedicated 2 years spent on research and product iterations by a team of dedicated designers and engineers each having experience of more than 10 years in the footwear industry. Here every design is unique and speaks for itself on comfort, style and quality.

The innovative transformable system allows for a purchase of one sole and then purchase of multiple uppers later, in accordance to the mood or need. It saves you:

Money : By giving you the freedom to buy only uppers
Space : So you can keep more stuff in the closet and travel bags

Give a women the right shoes and she can conquer the world” – Marliyn Monroe.

Our goal was clear from day 1 – the shoe must score 10/10 on comfort, style and durability without exception. Countless iteration, endless hours and infinite round of testing for a period of over 2 years finally gave us what we required.

Almost certain that we finally wanted to give birth to this idea and what followed was the beginning
of Solester’s Journey. The journey of spreading the joy – The joy of changing it, often.

If you follow me on Instagram, you must have seen them in my updates too..

I think its a superb idea. I got one pair of uppers too. And I can buy more uppers and just change them, and get new shoes 😉 How cool! Though they are not exactly cheap, but its pure leather. So when you expect amazing quality, you need to shell a few bucks. Plus its only once for the soles. Later you just need to buy the uppers. And they have free shipping and flat 20% off currently for a limited period of time. (Use the code ‘Solester55’). They also have free returns withing 7 days if you have size issue or something. And I just saw that they have 30% off on few uppers..the white Lauren upper is for Rs.699/- currently.

Btw, I also tried a print on print..with stripes and polka dots..I think its looks pretty decent..whaddya think ?

Addons Women Accessories Collection and Store Review

Addons Women Accessories Collection and Store Review

Hey guys,

Today I am reviewing Addons Women. If you have been following my blog, you know I have reviewed their collection before twice. (See HERE and HERE).

But, it was online shopping both times from their site www.addons.co.in (which is showing under maintenance right now, no idea why :/) This time, I did a store and latest collection review at their store in Korum Mall, Thane.

They have stores for both men and women, individually. And they also stock shoes, bags, scarves, sunglasses, clutches, cute hair pins, belts, etc..

The long statement chains..

And statement necklaces..

I was strolling in the store for more than an hour..admiring everything. The shoes and bags were so amazing, I could’nt get my eyes off them.

These color block heels were my favorite..and the floral brogues too !

And the sunglasses too. I tried this one and loved it.

Loved the bags..

And the statement envelope clutches too..

Their new statement earrings..

Some of their earrings are perfect for Indian wear.The green ones I got last time work with 1-2 anarkalis of mine and looks fab.

Colorful belts..

Scarves..

And the hair pins too would work great with Indian wear..

What I got :

Round Rose Gold earrings

Rose Gold Linked Bracelet

Yellow Stone Earrings (Again something which would work with both Indian and western wear)

Cute Stone Studded Hair pins

I would say its a paradise for someone who loves jewellery, accessories, bags and shoes. (And I guess every girl falls in that category :D). And you must check out the Addons store nearest to you. You won’t come back empty handed surely.

Would also like to add that their prices are pretty economical too. And if you search a little, you can find some amazing buys in your budget.

Did you like my haul ? Have you been to/shopped from AddOns store before ?

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.

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

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..

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 🙂

Must-have Shoes for Spring

Some must-have shoes for spring

Guest Post

There are some fresh spring footwear styles emerging that consumers may seek out at their favorite local shoe retailer, or they may easily access through online shoe sites. There are a few distinct styles that will be seen on feet throughout the summer and into fall, and that are a great fashion investment for those that may be looking to enhance their season’s wardrobe with practical, affordable footwear.

Stylish sneakers

Sneakers are the timeless item that can really make or break a spring and summer ensemble. Having supportive, stylish sneakers is something that any consumer can benefit from, and there are some cool, sporty styles coming to vendors this spring. Brands such as New Balance, Adidas, and Converse are among some of the treads that people of all ages love to wear, and that provide the quality wear and durability sought in a great sneaker. Some other new sneaker looks? The cool and unconventional style of Vibram FiveFingers footwear makes these very popular shoes this spring, as well.

Vintage Sperry’s

Sperry Top-siders and boat shoes have been a cool fashion staple in past years, but they are coming back with a vengeance. New colors, cool materials, and stylish detail make Sperry’s a quintessential footwear icon that everyone should have in their repertoire. Kids get in on the action too with their own line of youth sized Sperry’s, including the vintage styles made so popular decades ago.

Casual Crocs

Unless you have worn a pair of Croc’s, than you don’t really know what comfort truly feels like. These comfortable, convenient shoes are perfect for working in the garden, playing on the beach, or tossing on to head out to the store. The colors, detailing, and embellishments have expanded from the convention of the Croc’s clog to include some cool and trendy styles, including sandals and athletic variations. There are many kid-friendly Croc’s that feature some of their favorite cartoon characters too!

Foul-weather boots

Everyone needs to buy at least one pair of rain or foul-weather boots for their closet, and there are some impressive options awaiting spring shoppers. Familiar names, associated with quality footwear, offer the tried-and-true favorites that will hold up to any spring showers. Doc Maarten’s, Ugg of Australia, and Minnetonka offer the styles and models of boots that consumers have been choosing to pair with favorite apparel for years. The name indicates quality, and some online shoppers may find alluring price differentials when buying from internet-based shoe retailers.

Yes..Lovelyshoes.net

Its a super awesome site where not only shoes, but also clothes are at super cheap prices..yes the shipping cost is added according to weight..but if you buy from their sale i.e the reduced prices like me..even after the shipping, its pretty reasonable.

Coming to my haul, I bought this leopard print crop top..cant wait to do an outfit post with it..

Black ankle strap open toe wedges..the heels are longgg..I did not expect that much height :p But its fine..coz they are not heavy..and quite comfy..

Black leather boots with metal buckles..these are sooo soft and super comfy and light weight..and feel perfectly warm..my favorites..

And lastly these beige and khakhi glitter ankle length sneakers..these look so chic ! But these are definitely a little heavy :/ I wish these were lighter too..


I used Aramex Express for shipping..like I always do in wholesale-dress.net too..and its quick and pretty reasonable compared to other options..I received my package in 3 days flat !! Thats the best part..no long waiting period !


I highly highly recommend this site..especially for shoes ! Must check !

Sorry for the pics with flash…it was dark when I clicked the pics..and I was pretty excited to open and try stuff :p

By the way my cam’s flash is always this bright that it completely darkens the background..and it always washes out my eye makeup or other makeup if I use flash..that makes me wonder how do you guys click eye makeup pics with flash ? Any tips, suggestions ?

Did you like the shoes? Which ones are your favorite ?

The Mumbai Bride Diaries: Engagement Jewellery and Shoes

The Mumbai Bride Diaries: Engagement Jewellery and Shoes
Check out my previous post to see my outfit HERE and the mehendi and manicure,pedicure post HERE.

Today I am talking about jewellery and shoes.. Coming to the jewellery,what all can be worn as a part of jewellery:

1. Set consisting of necklace and earrings: A basic set which complements the outfit..you can go heavy or light depending on your preference..I wanted something light..and a maang tikka can also form a part of the set.

2. Matching Set of Bangles: You can either go for kadas if you do not want to wear whole set of bangles..or a set of bangles..any shop stocking bangles would customise it according to your outfit..you can ofcourse make changes in it as per your liking.

3. Kamar patta or Waist Belt: I wanted to add one..but did not find anything appropriate so skipped it..you can definitely wear it if you find something good..that works well with your outfit too.

4. Latkans : These days the latkans are quite in..ya the same ones which we have in our anarkalis and blouses on the back..we can also wear them on the sides of the waist across the saris or lehengas..you can combine a few different ones and mix and match.

5. Baju Band or Armlet : One can also add baju band on the upper arm..especially if your outfit is sleeveless or has very short sleeves..looks pretty..

6. Payal or Anklets: Kundan payal looks great and would match most of the Indian outfits..you can find so many designs of it these days.

I wore a simple gold set with some silver accents and diamonds in between and blue droppings and only the earrings..skipped the maang tikka as I wanted a light look..one can always add a maang tikka too.

Matching set of bangles to the outfit.

Stiff Kundan Payal..they have this oblong shape..and have a key lock..

Shoes : I chose these Catwalk shoes with gold motifs and pearl and diamonds on the front..same shoes were available in 2 inches more heel but with a broader band at the front..I needed heels coz fiancee is 6’3” :/ And I did buy those, somehow the transaction failed and since it was only one pair left, it was showing Out of Stock then..and later when I checked I guess it was already sold out..though I liked this smaller band more..but heels also were less in these..nonetheless I felt they looked perfect with the outfit..I bought these online from Jabong.

Places to shop for..I knew which is the best place in my area for the jewellery and bangles and so was found it there..so I checked out many shops for the set and did not like it much anywhere or did not find something that would compliment the outfit well..I would suggest first checking out your local famous shops, then online and also compare prices..I liked a few on Homeshop18, Craftsvilla, etc..But checking out and trying personally is what is recommended..

In Mumbai..you can check out Magic Mirror in Matunga and Santacruz, Sia outlets, shops in Bhuleshwar for artificial jewellery..for real gold and diamonds I would recommend going to your trusted family jeweller..I like diamonds from Manubhai Jewellers in Borivali and Ghatkopar…my engagement ring is also from there.

Hope you liked the post..if you still have any doubts or need any help, shoot me an email at bhumika_thakkar@yahoo.co.uk and I would be ready to help..
