An OOTD from Goa this time. As many of you know, I was in Goa last to last weekend, we clicked some amazing pics at The Zuri White Sands Resort & Casino which is located in Varca, Goa. Zuri also has a private beach and all you see is white sand, literally.
I wore this outfit for the masterclass hosted by Miss Malini on the first day. Its a black crochet lace top paired with a black tulle skirt and combined them with a broad metallic black and gold belt.
I love tulle skirts and was quite excited to have this, but unfortunately the layers were few and the puff not as much as I would have liked 🙁
Anyhoo, I paired this outfit with my new n*de strappy heels from Zara (Love them!) and a black and gold studded clutch. A gold metallic statement necklace and a gold and black spike bracelet completed the whole look.
Thank you Nitika for clicking such amazing pics :*

I am back with an OOTD. After a break, this time. :p
Has the culottes trend caught on you ? It has on me, and luckily I found an old floral one in my wardrobe while cleaning and organizing it. 😀 One of the advantage of cleaning your wardrobe 😉
I went to the L’Oreal Research & Innovation Centre few days back for where we were shown how the hair color is made and the process,etc (basically the research and the things that happen backdoors). And this is what I chose to wear, since it was raining. Nothing beats a pair of pretty, floral culottes when its raining and you need something cotton, comfy and easy to dry.
There’s a difference between gaucho pants and culottes. Gaucho Pants (generally calf length and high waist) are slightly fitted from the top and only flare towards the bottom, whereas Culottes are fully flared and look more like a skirt. (basically a shorter version of palazzo pants).
I paired it with a white studded top and a pretty multi colored statement necklace. Only a watch to complete the look. And red and mint jelly flats since these are the best in rains/monsoons.
The statement necklace is from The Klick Store, owned by Karishma Lakdawalla. Check them out on facebook HERE, they have an unique collection of necklaces, earrings, charm bracelets,hair clips, etc. Not the usual stuff you find everywhere, coz Karishma herself makes them ! Yes, all handmade. Super cool stuff. I loved this piece personally coz it can be paired with so many things and complements many outfits.
I hope you liked the outfit. You will find a lot of culottes these days in Zara too. Have you bought one ? How do you style it ? Do share the pics/ideas in the comments below 🙂
I have paired this orange peplum top with my black denims and black ankle strap suede wedges. This current favorite gold metallic belt and a gold chain bracelet, gold and diamante statement necklace completed the look and of course, my black bag.
I love this orange peplum top, have been wearing it a lot these days. Its quite comfortable and looks chic too. The fit is nice and the fabric is soft and smooth too. It has a deep U back and can be paired with pencil skirts, denims, maxi skirts and in so many ways.
Its by Femella. You guys must have come across Femella on Myntra, Flipkart, Jabong, Fashionara, Junglee and quite a few sites. They have their own site too from which they retail directly. I love their collection. There are very few brands in India that cater to the latest fashion trends, have all the new collections and are budget friendly too. And for those who are not into international shopping and customs from sites like Asos, etc, we have our very own affordable Indian brand that comes to our rescue. I have bought a lot of Femella clothing before too, for the very reason.

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 😀
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 ?
I am back with an OOTD after a long time. Monsoons have officially begin in Mumbai..though it was on/off before and then there were no rains for a month. That was the time I was wearing this summery floral dress.
Though the rains are unstoppable right now, but again we would see some days of normal Mumbai summer soon 😀
I love the green base and the floral paisley motifs in red,pink and purple on this dress. Also, its more like a casual shirt dress. Its so comfortable and looks pretty too. And has an interesting back.
I paired it with this long gold and silver knot chain necklace, a small blue and silver bracelet, silver midi rings, an orange chrysanthemum flower brooch as a hair accessory. And completed the look with my purple wedges.
Its also very beachy/Hawaiian kinda look I feel :p I think I badly need a holiday.
So the monsoons were supposed to be officially starting in India, but they just showed us a teaser and ran away, to never return 😀
Well, untill we get those nice rains and showers, we definitely need some cool attire for ourselves in this sweltering heat of Mumbai. Here, are some summer style tips for you guys..
Outdoor
1. Cotton, Cotton, Cotton: Yes, do not forget. Wear only cotton in a hot and humid climate like Mumbai. Coz no other cloth material would absorb the sweat and humidity as well. Also, its more skin friendly and will not make you feel irritated even when you are out in the sun. You can also go for linen.
2. Whites: All whites keep you cool and relaxed. White ensembles do not absorb heat and are hence more suitable for summers.
Outdoor/Casual
3. Breezy, airy clothes: Shorts, skirts, dresses, sleeveless tops. All clothes that lets your skin breathe and gives it some air. We hate tight denims stuck on our skin in the summers, don’t we ?!
Casual
4. Sunglasses, scarves, hats: All that and more, whatever you need to protect yourself from the sun. A good pair of sunnies can make or break your outfit. Also, you can use a scarf, hat or umbrella when outdoors to cover your head and hair.
5. Comfortable footwear: Open and comfortable footwear, be it your slippers or sandals..or our very own kolhapuris. Also, you can go for wedges, if you need height.
Party
6. Sunscreen: A good high SPF sunscreen is a must in summers..and also do keep reapplying every 2-3 hours when you are out in the sun.
I have shared some sleeveless, airy tops and dresses that you can wear in summers..be it a casual look, outdoor look, party look or a festive look.
Here is mine Party #SleevelessSelfie Look..
Also, a good deodorant is something that you need all the time. The new Nivea Whitening Sensitive Deo not only smells amazing, but also helps whiten your underams for all those sexy, sleeveless, summer attires. I am currently using that and loving it..would be reviewing soon.
Btw, also love the new Anushka Sharma’s ad for the same..
For those who have never visited a land based casino, there may be several questions about what to expect. After all, these venues are much different than the online casinos on the internet. Of course, some online establishments don’t require a dress code. One question many women have when looking at casinos relates to what kind of clothing to wear, if you look at casino films in Hollywood, the outfits are always high in glamour. But is this a necessity when going to a casino in real life? The best answer to this question is to contact the specific casino itself for more information. The website can be consulted or a call can be placed to the casino. The usual response will be a smart casual dress code which in some situations may be known as business casual.
Even though it’s not an ensemble comprised of separates, dresses can fall within the realm of smart casual. The hem length must be decent, generally, it should fall at the knees. Never wear a dress that has a hem shorter than that. Carefully consider colours and patterns when choosing a dress. Certain patterns aren’t as dressy even if the cut of the dress is. Black is always a wise choice as it can be dressed up or down with accessories like blazers, scarves or jewellery.
While some women may not want to wear dresses to the casino, they do have many other options. Slacks can be part of any smart casual outfit. They should be loose fitting. Avoid tighter styles as they aren’t quite dressy enough. Also, avoid fabrics that wrinkle easy. For instance, during the summer months, linen is a popular fabric but it does wrinkle easy which won’t keep you looking great during the night at the casino. Casual slacks can be worn which would include chinos and corduroys. If wearing these, the top garments of the outfit should be smart in nature to balance out the slacks.

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
