Today I am talking about some of the current fashion trends. The time period currently between fall and summer is like a mixed one, there are certain summer trends that are still going strong like the Boho dresses and Maxi dresses and there are certain fall/winter trends that are also seen quite a lot already like the Plaid and leather jackets.
Shoe wise, you can already see a lot of boots, but there are tied up stilettos, etc. also still IN. I love these Stuart Weitzman ones.
So currently it is like a mix of both summer and fall/winter as the fall is just starting yet. I am loving the boho and off shoulder dresses a lot too. Of course here in India, it is mostly the summer trends only throughout especially in Mumbai.
What comes in fall/winter here are just light shrugs or light layering.
OOTD: Two Diverse Outfits (Maxi Dress & Monochrome)
Hi guys,
If you follow me on my social media, you must be knowing I had attended the Reliance Trends’ Tarun Tahiliani show at Lakme Fashion Week and I had to pick two outfits from the new Reliance Trends collection and wear one of it for the show.
I tried a number of outfits as you can see here..
Finally I went with these two.
First is this super pretty royal blue maxi dress which is from their in house brand ‘Fusion’ and it has an Indo-western feel to it obviously as the name goes.
I love the print on top, the fit, the flowy fabric, the color, everything about this dress and also it is super comfortable! I had been living in this maxi dress for entire day for 2-3 days in a row since it felt so comfortable.
If it would have been available in more colors, I would have bought all of them 😀 And guess the price guys!! It retails only for Rs.799/-!! Beat that. Definitely recommend checking out ‘Fusion’ at your nearest Reliance Trends store and buy this if you spot it! There were some other shirt dresses and halter dresses too which were quite pretty.
I wanted my 2nd outfit to be completely different from the first. Since the first was bright and colorful and Indo-western, I went with a monochromatic black and white semi-formal look in the 2nd.
I chose this textured white boxy top with an embellished neckline with a simple black pencil skirt. I love the waffle print texture and the neckline is super pretty. You don’t need any additional accessories with this top. This top was priced at Rs. 799/- too.
Other accessories seen in these looks are my infinity layered neckpiece and my hamsa hand harness. (Both seen HERE). I wore my silver Forever 21 loafers with these.
Review: Reliance Trends Tarun Tahiliani Collection at LFW W/F 2015
Hi guys,
I attended the Reliance Trends Tarun Tahiliani show yesterday evening at the Lakme Fashion Week.
Tarun Tahiliani’s “Easy Glamour” collection was an eclectic line of ready-to-wear pieces presented by Reliance Trends at Lakmé Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2015.
The ramp had a full length mirror on stage and a rack of clothes as the backdrop, a very stylish video featuring the hot Lisa Haydon modelling Tarun’s collection was playing in the background.
Ujjwala Raut opened the show wearing a looped black midi. The collection was predominantly black with some red and other colors popped in between. A lot of tribal prints and stripes were seen with some leheriya print.
Dolman sleeve top, poncho draped skirt, corset dress, lungi dress and many such interesting silhouettes were seen on the ramp.
Asymmetric kurta with leggings, the black dhoti sari and choli, maroon jumpsuit with embroidered printed belt created a perfect Indo – western fusion.
Dramatic borders were used on most pieces in rust, blue and mostly gold. The velvet bustier belts brought whole looks together. Models wore a nose ring through the middle of the nose and super huge round earrings which added to the tribal element.
He also created the ‘jumpsuit-sari’ with the pleats and draped dupatta which looked quite interesting. Peplum quilted gilets, satin draped lungi cowl gowns, saris with velvet obe belts and printed tees with satin dhotis were quite unique. The kedia style blouses, attached capes and caplets were seen in majority of the pieces.
Kalidaar jackets, 3D floral motifs, bright gold embroidery and velvet hemlines took the basic pieces to a whole new level adding glamour to the outfits.
Overall a lot of luxe separates were seen with endless mix and match possibilities.
The super hot Chitrangada Singh was the perfect showstopper, she wore a black draped gown with a velvet cape which had gold embellishments.
Tarun Tahiliani being the “Czar of Couture” did manage to create a super amazing prét-a-porter/ready-to-wear collection for women! I cannot wait to check out more pieces from the Reliance Trends Tarun Tahiliani collection.
Did you like the Reliance Trends Tarun Tahiliani collection? Your favourite piece?
If you read the previous post, you know we went to Trident BKC yesterday for lunch as it was Mr. Husband’s birthday.
I wore this pretty pastel blue floral off shoulder dress. I loved the dress but it is actually a bit loose and the sleeves were dropping, so kind of uncomfortable. I will have to find a way to alter it or fix it somehow. I love the pastel blue color and the floral print though, off shoulder is very IN trend these days.
I paired it with my new silver Forever 21 loafers and kept it minimal and silver in terms of accessories too. I wore this layered silver infinity necklace and a silver hamsa hand harness, my first hamsa 🙂

I am back with the 3 casual outfits’ post. See more HERE and HERE.
This time, I covered three outfits which I wore to events/meets recently.
Outfit 1:
It is the same outfit I wore HERE, this time with different accessories and bag. I love this floral midi skirt and since it has red roses, this red crop top matches perfectly with the skirt.
I paired it with a simple gold statement necklace and my Daniel Wellington watch. The highlight of this outfit is this beautiful Suede by Devina Juneja wristlet. The Shaded Ring Weave Wristlet is made with lightly hand-shaded leather in subtle gold and silver. I love the shaded ombre effect and the gold chain is perfect to replace your bracelet. It is easy to carry around and looks so pretty.
I wore this at the The Body Shop Fuji Green Tea Range launch recently. Did you guys see the vlog yet? Go HERE.

Outfit 2:
The 2nd and 3rd are more casual ones, I am loving my new Levi’s 711 Skinny and living in them practically. I love how these are super comfortable. I always stayed away from skinny jeans coz I am neither thin nor tall for the skinny jeans to look good on me, Levi’s changed it all for me! I still can’t believe this skinny jeans not only flatters my body but make my legs look slender and nice. This is the first skinny jeans I absolutely love and they have other ranges like 311 Shaping Skinny and 312 Shaping Slim which look even more flattering and I can’t wait to try those.
I paired the skinny with my simple white tee and a black and beige Himachal print jacket. The jacket is currently on sale and only worth Rs.448/-! It is perfect for your dresses too and adds a light layer and keeps you warm. Since the entire look was more or less monochrome, I added a bright pop of color with my current favourite orange bucket bag. Bucket bags are back, ladies! I love how this bag is huge and fits my world in it (including my camera) and I carry it along comfortably. I love the orange and golden tassels hanged on the straps. The only thing is, I wish it came with a longer strap too, which usually comes with a bucket bag and makes it more convenient to carry. I finished the look with gold strappy flat sandals by Do Bhai from Myntra.
Denims: Levi’s
Watch: Daniel Wellington
Bag: StalkBuyLove
Tee: Marks & Spencer
Jacket: Oxolloxo
Sandals: Do Bhai (Myntra)
Outfit 3:
The third one is a simple, everyday outfit. A basic aztec print top with roll over sleeves, paired with Levi’s 711 Skinny again. I completed the look with a Daniel Wellington watch, black fringed bag and black studded ballerinas.
Stylish, practical and s*xy skirts come as a relief from the usual jeans and top/kurtis, or trousers and shirts. You can wear them to work, official meetings, get-together with friends, dinners and more. This garment is also a perfect gifting option for friends. But if you are not very sure about their size, just get them gift cards for women’s apparels from premium brands and let them shop for the skirt type that best suits their body type.
It is very important that you understand the type of skirts that look good on you, certainly not all skirts are meant for everyone. This way you can have a good collection of skirts from the same category that are worth flaunting.
Let’s go through the different types of skirts to select the one that suits you the best.
A-Line Skirt
An A-line skirt is narrow at the waist and then widens evenly as it reaches the hem. It can be ankle length, calf-length or knee length. They are ideal for all body types and can be worn for all casual and semi-formal settings, but not suitable for formal events. Their shape resembles the letter A.
Pencil Skirt
If you have a skinny or slim body-type, then it’s time to make the most of it by sporting a nice well-fitted pencil skirt. They tend to hug the thighs and legs closely. They are ideal for formal meetings and everyday office wear.
Flared skirt
If you have heavy derriere, flared skirts are great in hiding all those unduly bulges and make you look smart. These are A-line skirts with an extra flare for that stylish look.
Fishtail Skirt
Fishtail or Mermaid skirts are tightly fitted at the waist and around the hips and tend to get narrow at the knees, and then flare out from the knees. They are perfect for those women who wish to emphasise on their backs and look taller.
Wrap Skirt
For casual wear to a lunch with friends or a movie, you can also opt for wrap-skirts. These lightly flared skirts wrap around the waist and the leg part and overlap at any side you desire. Generally made of cotton, these skirts can be fastened by a tie or a button.
Pleated Skirt
Pleated skirts are widely worn by many women across the globe. The pleated detailing of these skirts is an element of tailoring that makes it look chic and trendy. High waist midi-style skirts are made to flatter any figure.
Peasant Skirt
Peasant skirts are pretty much similar to the broomstick skirts (of course without the wrinkles). If timeless style and appeal is what you are looking for, peasant skirts have a lot to offer. Just pair them with a fitted top and you are good to go for any casual or semi-casual event.
So ladies, there are so many types of skirts available in the market, just pick the right styles meant for your body type. Shop for yourself or get your younger sister a nice floral skirt on her birthday.
So as I mentioned in my previous floral romper OOTD, I have quite a few posts left from my December trip. After the floral romper, this was my 2nd most favourite outfit. I am kind of biased towards this dress too I wore at The Venetian.
Coming back to this outfit, it is another perfect beach outfit, well you can replace the white skirt with shorts. I did that later on when we had to travel on a bike. But if you are just relaxing or lazing around on the beach, then this may work.
I absolutely love this combo of pastel blue crop top with pineapple print and white lace skirt. I went with pearl and spiked bracelet accessories wise and my Only flip flops.
How I miss the beach and hammock. Also they had this wood table and a cut tree as chair..so pretty the entire beach looked.
Crop top, Skirt: Romwe
Flip Flops: Only
Bracelets: Mix
I hope you liked the outfit. Do let me know in the comments below.
It’s been a long time, I shopped anything from Jabong (See previous Jabong Hauls HERE and HERE). I really like few brands on Jabong, and also got a few other things for 50% off during sale.
Now Jabong.com obviously needs no introduction. So let’s get straight to my haul 😀
I had ordered a pink/red Meira dress but only size was available in it (all sizes are available right now and it is still at 60% discount, a steal at 400 bucks if you wish to order 😀 ) and looking at the size chart, I went for it but sadly it did not fit :/ I had to return the dress and initiate a refund and I got another Miss Bennett Grey T-shirt dress (This is also still on discount, at Rs.539/-). I have to say the return and refund process was very easy and quick, no hassles at all. I got the dress within 3-4 dress. I am currently loving it, it is so comfortable that I can practically wear it everywhere 🙂 You will see this soon in one of my casual OOTD posts.
I also ordered a Pretty Secrets navy blue night suit set and Raymond Home hand towels (set of 2). The night suit is for Rs.1299/- which I got for Rs.650/- at 50% off 😀 The Raymond Home towet set was also at 50% off and got it for Rs.325/-. I received all the items within 4-5 days.
Just three things, a small haul but I am very happy with the service and how quick and easy the whole process was. That reminded me I should shop more often from Jabong now. I just wanted to share my good experience with you guys 🙂
Have you shopped anything recently from Jabong? Do let me know in the comments below.
I haven’t done an OOTD since a long time, I still have 1-2 outfits from my December trip to be posted, so wanted to share them with you soonest.
This is one of my favourite outfits from the trip. I wore this blue romper at Havelock in Andamans, we went to the Elephant Islands where we tried a lot of different water sports.
I love these round mirror sunnies of mine on my beach vacations especially. I also wore this camel brown woolen kind flat top cap since it was sunny, again another favourite. I love flat top caps since they look much smarter than the usual.
And wore this ‘Cool’ letter necklace in gold and my flip flops.
Romper, Cap, Necklace, Sunnies: Romwe
Flip Flops: Only
I love the fact that this outfit was so comfortable and easy,it felt really good. I love rompers coz they are very loose and free sized, so one can wear it anytime and walk/sit comfortably without worrying. And you can wear it even when you have lost weight or put on weight or feel bloated, this works always and covers your belly too 😉
I hope you liked the outfit. Do let me know in the comments below 🙂 Also, what do you prefer wearing at beach destinations? It is mostly flowy dresses/shorts/rompers/culottes for me.
Remember the 3 casual outfits I did last time (See HERE). I think it’s a nice idea to bring together some daily wear casual outfits and many of you liked the post, so I thought of continuing this series.
Here are another 3 casual outfits which I wore recently in an event or for a meeting or here and there..
Outfit 1:
The first outfit is this lovely blue,brown,white printed dress which has a tie-dye kind of effect. It comes with a belt which accentuates the waist and fits perfectly, also has a flare at the ends, love the way it falls. The dress is from Oxolloxo and it costs only Rs.518/- 😀 Steal, isn’t it? The sleeves are bell shaped and slightly long for me, I prefer folding them 🙂
I paired it with my black tasseled sling and tan brogues. For accessories, my favourite Daniel Wellington watch and layered silver dainty pieces.
One is my name pendant and the other is an infinity with love, both are from The Lieben Store on Instagram. Do check them out for some cute accessories. They have these small necklaces and rings to cute hair bands and wrist bands and a lot of other cute stuff.
Second outfit is this bright coral sheer shirt with metallic gold pointed collar clips.It is from a new Instagram store called ES Collection, they have simple but classic pieces and that can be customized to your size,also a lot of sizes are available. The best part is they are quite economical too.
I paired it with white straight fit pants and black studded ballets. My Daniel Wellington watch and MK Mini Selma sling completed the look.
Shirt: ES Collection
Pants: Wills Lifestyle
Watch: Daniel Wellington
Bag: Michael Kors Mini Selma
Shoes: Steppings (Fashion & You)
Outfit 3:
Midi skirts are still in trend and I believe they still would be for some time,at least 😀 I love midi skirts and have 3-4 of these. (See one HERE)
I had this pretty white midi skirt with red roses print on it. I paired it with a red crop top from a red co-ordinates set and a vintage looking leaf statement necklace. My Daniel Wellington watch, MK sling and gold ankle strap heels completed the look.
I wore this to the Lakme Pro Stylist Studio Launch here in Phoenix,Lower Parel, Mumbai.
