OOTD: Lavender Floral Off Shoulder Dress

Hi guys,

I have so many outfit posts to share with you guys, at least 2-3 more and I haven’t got around editing, resizing or writing a post.

OOTD: Lavender Floral Off Shoulder Dress, Indian Fashion Blog

I didn’t post on the blog in such a long time, this was honestly the longest break I have taken from my blog per se, but I was posting a lot of content on my Instagram and other platforms.

Yesterday I posted about the ShopBop Black Friday Sale, this outfit and all the accessories are also from ShopBop co-incidentally 🙂

I am very conscious of my arms as they are my problem area, all of us have 1 or 2 problem areas in the body which tend to store stubborn fat which doesn’t go away even after you try hard and lose weight all over or do specific exercises for that part. For some, it’s the stomach or hips or thighs, for me my upper arms. I avoid sleeveless outfits for the same reason, because I dress as per my body type and avoid wearing outfits that accentuate my problem area, the first and basic rule 🙂

I do like off shoulder dresses as they hide my arm fat, but this one was a tie up and half backless/shoulder baring dress. Loved the lavender colour and floral print, this dress was overall very cute and fit me perfect like a glove.

Even though it does show my arms, I am ok with it this time 😀 I love the overall look and fit of this dress. I paired it with a simple white lace choker, a white DVF sling and silver Jeffrey Campbell bow slides with a unique and transparent heel.

I loved how it came about overall. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.

OOTD: Transitioning from Summer to Winter Fashion

Hi guys,

So this is what I wore for Lakme Fashion Week Day 2. I had a mini meet and greet with 3 of you lovely girls and then had a Tresemme shoot, so I planned to shoot this outfit too as my photographer Sneha was anyway coming for the video shoot.

What to wear for fashion week is always confusing, since it is Winter/Festive season but still we are in monsoons and just transitioned from summer, you can utilize both the seasons’ trends in this mid period.

Summer is all about bright colours, cotton/linen, flowy fabrics. I love yellow/orange and more so in summers. And winters is always about layering, blazers, dark colours, etc.

Now here I wore this white and yellow summery outfit and paired it with a linen grid blazer, combining both the seasons’ trends and elements.

(Check out more outfit ideas HERE)

Both this yellow skirt and the linen blazer are my recent purchases from ShopBop. I got this bright yellow skirt at a very good sale deal and this blazer is from JOA x Chriselle Lim Collection which is exclusive to ShopBop and is also on sale now, as I believe they would be having last few pieces now. I also got a crop top from this same collection, which is the same print and colour as this blazer.

I absolutely loved this blazer, the colour, the grid and it’s linen, so very comfortable. Love the button detailing on the sleeves too.

I picked two tees in white and black the previous day from Reliance Trends just like that, as I always stock up on good basics as they work with a lot of things.

I always plan my outfits in my head a day prior to an event/occasion and I instantly brought out all three of this new purchases and tried them together and absolutely loved the outcome. It looked exactly like I thought it would in my head 😀

For the bag, I was confused about this orange jute one or my white DVF one. I chose the jute one and for the shoes, went with basic black brogues.

I love how this outfit is also androgynous i.e. a combination of feminine and masculine elements along with seasons.

For makeup also, I went with yellow/orange/gold tones and it complimented the outfit so well. And we shot after my Tresemme video shoot, so got my hair done too in nice curls (which didn’t stay long on my hair unfortunately as I have super straight hair :p)

We shot at different places at St. Regis where the Lakme Fashion Week is held in Winter/Festive season. It’s a beautiful hotel with amazing backdrops and we got some very good shots. I loved how this outfit and shoot came about.

OOTD: Monochrome with a Pop

Hi guys,

I recently shopped for a few things on Tata Cliq as it had this amazing sale going on. You won’t believe at what price I scored this dress (Guess and comment below 😀 Let’s see if you get this right). I ordered for two dresses and two tees but unfortunately they cancelled one dress and one tee as it was out of stock. I don’t understand how they list it for sale, charge money from customer and then cancel it saying it’s not in stock, then why list at the first place?! I was so pissed, because I really liked that other dress too.

But nonetheless when I tried this dress, I think I cooled down a bit because I loved it! I love stripes if you don’t know already 😀 And this outfit was simple black and white stripes off shoulder dress, I knew I wanted to add a pop of colour to this monochrome outfit. More so, it has vertical stripes which gives the illusion of an elongated body compared to horizontal stripes. I also like the shirring on the top which gives some shape and definition.

Read More: See more outfit posts HERE

Now I could add a pop through accessories i.e. bags and shoes. I chose a colourful bag and bright pink sunnies this time, hence kept shoes black too. I added a colourful beaded choker as it was off shoulder and needed something around the neck.

I wore suede black tie back mules and this colourful pink Loeffler Randall bag with bright floral pom poms. I love how this bag instantly pops up any outfit, one of my favourite slings for that reason.

I bought this pink tinted rose gold sunglasses from Aldo quite some time back and never wore them somehow. I was finding accessories for this outfit and I found these and thought should try them. They looked perfect and I wonder why I never wore them. Actually I am not a sunglasses person because I feel most of them don’t look that good on me because I have a round face. Though I like aviators like this one, as aviators work best for my face and something angular too. I guess I will experiment more when it comes to sunglasses now, because I have so many and don’t end up wearing them.

We shot at Lady Baga in Lower Parel which is a goan themed restaurant and everything is so bright and colourful. I loved how the pictures turned out because of the whole colourful vibe and backgrounds.

P.S.: These are unedited pictures and on Instagram, I am trying a warm teal and orange theme, hence the colours are different. But I also really liked these original pictures as they were bright and nice. Hence I chose to share the original pictures on the blog, as anyway only 2-3 pictures out of all make it on the gram.

OOTD: For The Love of Orange

Hi guys,

I am doing an outfit post after ages! I didn’t shoot anything new since Sept, almost 5-6 months apart from 1-2 campaigns in between which were not proper outfit shoots as such.

My photographer was busy with weddings and I wasn’t too keen in between. I had a bunch of things to shoot this time from this dress, to shoes and bag. I have also shopped a lot in the past 2-3 months from ShopBop, Zara and online H & M and Lulu & Sky, so expect more shoots and posts 😀

We did three outfits this time, and the first one was this. It’s a little difficult to get the venue and match the availability of photographer, venue and me i.e. on days when I don’t have events, shoots or any family stuff. So shooting 2-3 outfits at one go works best. But after two changes and clicking the third outfit, it gets a bit tiring :p

So anyhoo, coming back to this bright orange dress! I love yellow and orange, they are my favourite colours, apart from red. Anything bright and colourful and I am instantly attracted. I am loving mustard yellow, sunflower yellow, this orange and all sunset hues this summer (in fact, all year round :D)

This orange straight fit dress is from Afamado. It’s neither a shift dress nor a tight bodycon, but a straight, comfortable fit which hugs your body but doesn’t cling it.

Afamado has sizes from S to 6XL, so you can be any size and still you can get the dresses and they even have a ‘Made to Measure’ option where they can customize the outfit for you as per your exact measurements.

When I got this dress initially, it was quite loose and then they altered it for me. I lost some weight and it’s still a little loose, I clipped it from behind so that it gives a better fit 😀 But basically, it’s a boon for people who do not find the correct size in clothes as per their body type or have basic, boring things which they never like.

I love the interesting cold shoulder ruffled sleeves it has. I am not into sleeveless clothing, and this works perfectly for me. It’s not see through or sheer and I didn’t have to layer anything underneath.

Truffle Collection

I paired it with nude bow design shoes from Truffle Collection, these are the most comfortable pair of shoes I own and I have many! I am not comfortable wearing heels for a long period of time, but these I can wear. They are super comfortable and light weight, does not give any shoe bites plus look so cute! They work with everything from dresses to denims.

Loeffler Randall

I chose this colourful Loeffler Randall sling with round pom pom kind of floral work on it. This bag is super cute and colourful and even though the dress is bright, the shoes were nude and the accents of this bag matched the dress well as it had orange too.

Overall I really liked this outfit and how it came through. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below 🙂

Also I am looking for something lemon print, top or dress, do let me know if you find it :p

Must have Bags in Every Girl’s Closet

By Pallavi

Hiii Fashionistas, We all are crazy about accessories, accessories are something that make or break your look. And handbags are something really detrimental for your look.

You need different types of handbags for different occasions. Have a look at some of the MUST have handbags in your stash –

Shoulder Bag

1. Shoulder Bag – These are the most common handbags which you can easily carry on your shoulders. They have to be carried on your shoulders through the straps attached to them. They come in different shapes and sizes and patterns too. This one is perfect for both formal and semi-formal looks.

Sling

2. Cross Body or Sling Bags – These are so trendy and in these days. They are perfect for even outings while you are travelling or a day brunch or night out. They are small in size but are perfect to carry your essential things.

Clutch

 

3. Clutches – These are for those occasions when you want to carry a small bag but you are not comfortable with the shoulder straps thing. You just want to carry your bag in your hands, then clutch is perfect. It comes in different designs and you can pick as per the occasion.

Satchel

4. Jhola or Satchel Bags – The big bags which just need to be loosely held on your shoulders. They have a good space inside it where you can store a number of things. They are perfect for students or for travel enthusiasts.

Tote Bag

5. The Tote Bag – This is so trendy and comfortable to carry. They are made up of soft clothing material which is not only easy and comfortable to carry but also inexpensive. You can carry a lot of stuff in totes.

Weekender Bag

6. Weekender – These are the large bags wherein you can carry your world inside it. they come in different shapes but all of them have huge space inside them. You can use them as gym bags, diaper bags, grocery bags and likewise.

Bucket Bag

7. Bucket Bags – Another trendy and new in market bag. They are in the shape of a bucket as goes the name. They come with adjustable shoulder straps which you need to tighten in order to close it.

Backpack

8. Backpacks – Best bag for travel enthusiasts. They come with a huge space inside wherein you don’t need to arrange your stuff just throw them in. And they come with adjustable straps so you can tighten them as per your choice.

Duffle

9. Duffle Bag – A spacious bag perfect for travelling for short trips. You can also use them as a sports bag too.

Messenger Bag

10. Messenger Bag – This is another roomy bag with very long shoulder straps. You can even style them as a cross body bag or you can wear them loosely hung over shoulders bag.

Envelope Clutch

11. Envelope Clutch – Another trendy bag more like a day time clutch. It comes in the shape of a envelope which is slightly large in shape.

So, that were some of the must have handbags from my side. Hope you like them. Let me know your thoughts in the comments down below.

OOTD: Abstract Print Overlapping Shift Dress

Hey guys,

So as I have become more active on Snapchat and Instagram, I am doing less of outfit posts here and less of vlogs too, coz I show the outfit and the event videos on Instagram and Snapchat respectively.

But I decided to post this one on the blog. I got this abstract print overlapping shift dress from StalkBuyLove recently, I showed it my latest YouTube Haul Video HERE

I wore this outfit for the Splash Spring/Summer Collection Preview recently. I paired this dress with my gold block heels and blue Michael Kors sling and gold Michael Kors watch. Also added a stretchable gold belt to give the waist some definition.

I love the overlap effect and the abstract print. Also the fact that it’s half sleeves, this dress is something which can be worn for multiple occasions like a formal affair or a casual day out.

OOTD: Denim Blue Off Shoulder Crop Top, Floral Pencil Skirt

Hey guys,

OOTD time! The moment I saw this crop top in the Stalkbuylove’s Stalker magazine early last month in the New Arrivals, I knew I had to get this! It is off shoulder, which is a trend quite IN this spring/summer. Also the denim blue colour would compliment a lot of different bottoms from black to bright colors to floral like I have paired it with today. Crop tops are absolutely fabulous with anything high waist like high waisted denims/skirts/culottes.

I have paired crop tops with culottes, palazzos and lace mini skirt earlier. And yes with pencil skirts too, see HERE and HERE. And of course, when they come with it’s own set i.e. co-ordinates/matching separates makes it all the more better coz you can not only wear them as coords but also separately with basics.

I have paired this Chester crop top with a black floral skirt. I had this skirt since quite some time (shown in this HAUL video), when I saw this crop top, I knew I would be pairing it with this skirt 😀 Yes, I mentally put together my outfits all the time 😉

Also I love bucket bags, if you know I already have the big orange one from StalkBuyLove which I love using. And I also like backpacks, so when I saw this tan backpack which is like a bucket bag i.e. 2 in 1, I immediately added it to the cart!

Tip: Tan/Neutral bags and shoes will always work with everything, so if you like something in tan, don’t think twice and just get it, you will be surely using that a lot.

I completed the look with my Daniel Wellington watch and these black Forever 21 mules. Now I know mules don’t have a strap behind usually, but this one does. Had got them during sale, again had showed these in the above linked haul video.

OOTD: Powder Blue Jumpsuit

Hi guys,

So I had this powder blue ‘Flying Kisses’ Jumpsuit from StalkBuyLove since a long time, but never got a chance to wear it, finally I wore this to the Oppo F1 Plus Launch event in Delhi.

We were staying at The Lalit and we clicked the pics there. Magali helped me with the pics.

To start with, I love the powder blue colour of this jumpsuit, and it’s perfect for this Spring/Summer. I paired the jumpsuit with my Steve Madden clogs and a deep navy blue Michael Kors sling.

Also my recent addition the new Daniel Wellington watch in Classic Durham. If you don’t already know, I am obsessed with Daniel Wellington watches and have about 4 now, with 2 new additions making it 6. Durham is the new launch in the Classics range of 36mm. And as always I go for Rose Gold Dial. The light brown American Leather strap makes it ideal to pair with a lot of outfits from casual to formal. They have also launched the new ‘Dapper’ range which is slightly smaller i.e. 34mm and has blue hands and also displays date. I got the Bristol in Dapper which you will be seeing a lot on my Instagram.

I also have a flat 15% off Daniel Wellington coupon code ‘DWBHUMIKA’ and it is valid till 31st May. They have free shipping worldwide, I do recommend getting a Classic or Dapper, as they work with everything and having at least one Daniel Wellington watch in your collection is a must, especially if you are a watch collector/lover.

I kept the outfit in shades of blue with tan shoes and watch. The idea was to keep jumpsuit the focus here, you can always use a pop of colour in your shoes or bag or accessories. The same jumpsuit is available in 2-3 different colors, so you can check those out if you prefer a darker color.

OOTD: 3 Casual Outfits/Feb Lookbook

Hi guys,

I know it’s been ages since I did any OOTD post here, but I did manage to click pics and a short video when I dressed up. I did not attend many events this month, also was working very hard on the blog and currently happy with the way the numbers are going 🙂 Thanks to my writers and your love and support throughout.

Coming to the outfits, if you saw my previous haul video, I showed you guys the Anita Dongre maxi dress which I got during their sale, the first outfit is that 🙂

Outfit 1:

I am loving maxi dresses and I picked this Anita Dongre maxi dress during their sale. It’s a black, white and orange printed maxi dress which cinches at the waist and flares after the waistline. It also has cutout at the shoulders. Whenever I can’t decide what to wear, I will just pick this up. I paired it with my navy blue Michael Kors sling and watch, in all the three outfits you will see the same bag and watch coz I have only been using this in the month of Feb. And of course my favourite black block heels with gold ankle strap.
