Every child deserves to stay traditionally stylish!
Kids’ fashion world has started to receive its deserved attention in the last few years with the original and experimental brands amplifying their collections of attractive quirky designs for kidswear. You have to stay updated with the latest trends while shopping for your little ones. Ensuring that the fabric is soft with simple yet zany prints, made with clean lines and combination of vivid colors is the primary requirement. Secondly, make sure that you buy keeping the occasion in mind. If you follow trends, then why not follow themes as well?
Casuals like polo t-shirts, dungarees, skirts, crop tops, and denims are and will always be in vogue. But the charm of ethnic wear for kids is exquisite and unbeatable. On an occasion like wedding, engagement ceremony, cocktail party or any festive day, ethnic dresses look perfect on kids. The traditional edge makes them look even cuter and super adorable. Take up the opportunity to dress your kids properly in Indian dresses that radiate cultural vibes.

The stage is set. The gruelling hours put in rehearsals are waiting to throw results. The awards are ready to make someone’s day. Film award ceremonies in India, no matter rigged or genuine, do provide a wide gamut of entertainment besides evincing the knack (or at times, unfortunately the lack of it) in fashion of our Tinseltown celebrities. So, on that note let’s take a look at the best red carpet looks of Bollywood ladies who sashayed in sheer panache and let everyone bewitched.
1. KRITI SANON – This newbie has definitely caught the fancy of fashionistas with her simple, subtle but stunning fashion sense. Seen her is Kriti Sanon all decked up in an orange gown with almost zero accessories and a neatly done hairdo on the red carpet of Star Guild Awards 2016. The look is as simple as it gets but catches ones eyeballs. Who said simple cannot be stunning? Kriti is here to refute it and how!
2. PRIYANKA CHOPRA- Often hailed as a fashionista, Priyanka Chopra floored one and all on the red carpet of Oscars 2016 when she opted for this white embellished strapless gown by Lebanese designer Zuhair Murad. With her hair pulled into a subtle pony with a centre part, she walked the ginormous red carpet with panache.
3. AISHWARYA RAI BACHCHAN- Miss World 1994 opted for a strapless Oscar de la Renta gown in maroon at Cannes Film Festival 2015. Often accused for committing major style blunders in the past when it came to Cannes, Aishwarya nails it with this look. Smittten? Who wouldn’t be? 🙂
4. SHRADDHA KAPOOR- With such a cherubic and angelic face as hers, it would be difficult to look unprepossessing. On the green carpet of IIFA 2015, Shraddha Kapoor grabbed all the limelight for this simple strapless black gown that complemented her petite frame well. With a dazzling smile, minimal makeup and accessories, Shraddha looked a million bucks.
5. DEEPIKA PADUKONE- Mark my words- If there is any list on the most gorgeous/fashionable/elegant ladies, it’d be incomplete if she doesn’t make an appearance. Deepika Padukone glows effulgently in this elaborate and embellished Sabyasachi saree. With her hair done in a neat bun and a heart-warming smile, Deepika set a number of hearts fluttering (mine included) 🙂
6. KAREENA KAPOOR KHAN- Sashaying down the red carpet of Filmfare Glamour & Style Awards in a lemon colour Roberto Cavalli gown, the Begum of Pataudi- Kareena Kapoor Khan delineated the art of effortless dressing.
7. ANUSHKA SHARMA– There is a vibe of chirpiness, effervescence and a-girl- next-door surrounding this leggy lass who stepped into the glitzy world of Bollywood opposite SRK with Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi in 2008 which makes her likeable. Not to forget, she was a model before switching over to acting so, her dressing sense has to be impeccable (as we expect naturally). Seen here is this towering lady swaddled in a light yellow Gauri and Nainka gown, which at the Vogue Beauty Awards. Dreamy, we say!
Editor’s Note: I had attended the Vogue Beauty Awards last year and saw Anushka Sharma in person, her gown was beautiful! Also Aishwarya’s dress is one of my favourites! Kriti’t gown is oh so striking, love orange! I think I love all 😀
5 Fashion Questions You Must Ask Yourself Before going to the University
There are always a couple of things that you should ask yourself before going out in order to look appropriate on every occasion. Fashion plays quite a big role in the students’ everyday lives therefore put your custom essay aside and read this article to know how to wear the clothes your group mates may even envy for.
⦁ What do I want to show and tell?
Ask yourself why are you going to wear exactly these clothes? What do you want to tell the world? What is your mood today?
For example, if you want to attract the boys’ attention, wear a short skirt and a blouse or a T-shirt with a deep V-neck. If you want to make people see that you do not care about style and comfort is the only thing you care, then wear jeans and a large blouse. In addition, ask yourself if the clothes you want to wear are going to grab an attention of people or make them laugh? If you feel uncomfortable with something, take it off or replace.
⦁ Is it my size and does my figure have a normal shape?
Check the sizes and the structure of your clothes before going to the university because nobody wants to have a figure that looks weird. Sometimes bulges can disappear if you wear a push-up bra or a fitted sweater. However, some clothes need to be fixed by a tailor. However, if you have the rapper style or you are too slim and want to seem bigger, than the size of your clothes may be bigger.
⦁ Do I look perfect (and probably appealing)?
Check your outfit for flaws and fix them. Consider ironing every item. In case if you see a big hole or a couple of missing buttons on your clothes, it may be better to change the outfit. Do not accept the busted clothes, be always accurate and spick-and-span. In addition, it is recommended to take a look at all the clothes in your wardrobe monthly and divide them into three piles: 1) Good clothes 2) Clothes that you are not going to wear anymore 3) Clothes that you need to fix. Track your wardrobe!
⦁ Does my style change when I take some accessories off?
Sometimes we want to wear some accessories that can grab the attention fast. It may be a bright hat or a scarf. However, what if it will be too hot and you will want to take it off? If you feel that your style will have negative changes if you will remove the scarf or hat, then consider making some changes in your outfit.
⦁ Do I feel as a superstar?
Clothes usually make us feeling powerful. Every girl knows that a new beautiful dress can make us feel like a princess. You should wear the clothes that seem to make people saying “wow” when they see you.
Successful people try to wear the outfit that looks not only trendy and appropriate but that gives them a feeling that they can do everything as well.
All in all, there are Top 5 questions that you must ask yourself before going to the university. Feel free to combine the styles and make different matches until you look perfect! In addition, do not listen to others, make your own choices and be happy. Good luck!
The glitzy and glamorous world of Tinseltown throws ample opportunities to B-town ladies (and men alike) to showcase their stylish best. While designers have a major role to play here yet, there is certainly no denying that one needs to have that X-Factor to carry apparel with panache. After all, one should not let clothes wear him/her but bring their own charm and je ne sais quoi to the attire
On that note, let us have a glance at those B-town ladies who strut with panache on the ramp donned in the most chic apparel.
1. KANGANA RANAUT- Some people despite swaddled in the snazziest possible attire, fail to make a mark. Not Kangana Ranaut. Ever. This curly-haired lady is as fashionable as amazing an actor she is. Almost always in the good books of the Fashion Police, Kangana manages to send the audience into a tizzy every time she sashays in designer outfits on the ramp. Seen here is this powerhouse performer walking the ramp in Mumbai as the showstopper for Vero Moda Marquee. And she exudes aplomb!
2. DEEPIKA PADUKONE- A celebrated model and an equally renowned heroine of late, this leggy lass commenced her career in the showbiz by walking the ramp for a number of designers including some industry big shots. Seen here is Deepika swaddled a beautiful midnight blue bridal lehenga. The lehenga had zari zardosi embroidery all over. She walked the ramp for ace Indian designer Manish Malhotra showcasing his collection at the Delhi Couture Week. Noticeably, the collection was inspired by 1930’s. The colour palette includes deep shades like wine red, olive green, royal blue, mustard and gold. The collection has old vintage and royal look to it.
3. KATRINA KAIF- She looks as ethereal as a Greek Goddess as she struts the ramp for ace Indian designer Tarun Tahiliani’s spring-summer 2016 line. Inspired by the nomadic beauty of the Kutch desert tribes. Katrina and Aditya looked smouldering hot in the ace designer’s SS16 collection.
4. NARGIS FAKHRI- That pout sends all the selfie-addicts into a tizzy, doesn’t it? 😛 Nargis Fakhri is another top model who has walked the ramp time and again for ace designers. Seen here is the glamorous Nargis sashay the ramp in a Anushree Reddy lehenga-choli at LFW Winter Festive 2014. Her natural radiance adds to the beauty of the attire, doesn’t it? 🙂
5. SONAM KAPOOR- She is a Fashionista. Period. Swaddled in unarguably the most high-end designer outifts, Sonam makes sure all the eyes are on as she sashays the ramp every time. Seen here is Sonam decked in opulent jewellery from head to toe while beaming radiantly as she walked the ramp at IIJW 2013.
6. PRIYANKA CHOPRA- ‘Desi Girl’ has been the title that is aptly conferred on her. Looking jaw-dropping in this gorgeous lime green sari paired with a dove grey strappy blouse, PC walked the ramp for ace designer Manish Malhotra at LFW Summer/Resort 2013 Day-1. The sari boasted a delicate sequinned border and a slash of fuchsia across the border of the pallu. Side-swept waves and a rose pink lippie completed her look. Boy! I can stare shamelessly at her back unblinkingly 🙂
7. JACQUELINE FERNANDEZ- Sashaying down the ramp at LFW Day-2, Jacqueline’s million dollar smile lit up the stage as much as the shimmery bridal lehenga that she donned. She was swaddled in a glittering lehenga, fully embroidered long sleeved choli and net dupatta, along with beautiful jewellery to complement her look. She walked the ramp for top shot designer Anju Modi.
What is trending everywhere these days?? Well, may be all of you might be having numerous answers but I am sure majority of you will say RIO Olympics.
The 2016 Summer Olympics or RIO Olympics is an International multi-sport event being hosted by Brazil. Athletes of different sports from all over the world are competing against each other. And by God’s grace some other sport in India other than cricket has become the talk of the town and the highlight in RIO Olympics for India are the women athletes. They are large number of women athletes representing our country and making us proud. But we are very sure that many of you might not know them. So, here out of my overdose of patriotic feeling below is the list of Indian women athletes at Rio Olympics who are raising not only the Indian flag high but also our pride too –
1. Deepika Kumari: She is representing our country in Women’s Individual Archery who is currently ranked at world no. 5 and is a former world no. 1. She has also been a proud recipient of Arjuna award in the year 2012. Deepika with 640 points has secured the 20th position.
2. Aditi Ashok: She created history by becoming first and youngest Indian to win the Lalla Aicha tour School hence obtaining her 2016 ladies PGA tour card. At Rio she is currently at the third round of competition where she is just 4 strokes away of making it to the top.
3. Dipa Karmakar: Hailing from a Bengali family she was serious about her passion in gymnastics right since the age of 8. She gained limelight at 2014 commonwealth games where she won bronze for India. At Rio 2016, she attained fourth position with an overall score of 15.066.
4. Sakshi Malik – Born at Rohtak, she is a live example of making it big inspite of being from a small town. At the age of 12, she thought seriously about wrestling by drawing inspiration from her grandfather. She became the first women wrestler to win a bronze for India.
5. PV Sindhu – She hails from a family of professional volleyball players who have been a recipient of many prestigious awards. Do you know she used to travel a distance of 56 Km. every day to practice? Well, as they say the victory tastes sweet only when you have made serious efforts. We can’t stop congratulating her on being the first women to win individual silver.
6. Lalita Babbar: The 27 year old long distance runner became the talk of the town when she won Mumbai Marathon for the 3rd time making it hat-trick. At Rio 2016, she finished at the 10th position in the final race.
We have mentioned a few women only here who made a commendable performance at Rio but there are many other who also made our country proud at the biggest sporting event. All these women are making each and every Indian proud at Rio Olympics and we wish all of them ’All the Best’ and hope they add will many more feathers to the Olympic medals cap of our country.
Online Shopping is in full swing these days, and with the amount of discounts and sales, it also turns out to be very lucrative!
When it comes to the well-defined ‘Indian wear’, the first thing that comes to our mind while walking towards the closet is Kurti. This fashion trend never goes off and one of the best smart casual wear. In fact, Kurtis are so versatile that you can wear them for college, office, family events, day-out, party wear and literally every way you prefer.
Kurtis can be made adaptable with various styles like short or medium length, from various materials of cloth and the embroidery as well. thus, the exclusive designs, elaborate patterns, various hues and appealing shades blended with western as well as Indian styles has made Kurti so popular as a fashion trend. There are various reason to love them, different ways to pair them up and the hacks and style quotients – which we are going to elaborate in this post. Read on to know more about it.
Why women love wearing Kurti?
• The first and foremost reason is the comfort factor. Imagine wearing an exquisite outfit but it literally takes your life away because you are not comfortable in it. There things will never happen to a Kurti because they are the most comfortable outfit that it kept in your closet. When comfort and fashion is blended in an outfit – nothing can beat the beauty of it.
• Like I have mentioned before – Kurti can be worn to innumerable occasions and thus you can simply style it the way you want.
• Accessories – this is another advantage in which you can wear a single Kurti several times and each time you can accessorize it and make it look new. While going traditionally Indian, pair it up with bindi and bangles. For the casual look, use a choker or a simple pendant, for some layering, use a scarf and you can also add a layer of traditional jacket on top. Kurt can also be paired up with waistcoats for office and formal wear.
• Kurtis are pocket friendly. This is one of the most important reason. It is literally not possible to shell out big bucks on designer clothes every time and for casual and funky wear, opt for Kurti readily available in the marketplace. Various Kurtis in different shades, styles and cut are available both online and offline.
• Kurtis can be paired up with various ways and styles which we are going to discuss later in the post. This is why Kurtis are worn by every girl out there and are so much loved and accepted.
Style Trend and Fashion Quotient on Kurti –
• Regular Style Kurti – This is probably the most common style of Kurti available in the market. It has the Chinese collar and also known as the princess cut Kurti. It is generally paired up with contrast leggings, treggings, churidar, skinny jeans or jeggings.
• Anarkali Kurti – Anarkali Kurtis are the long flowing ones which reaches up to the ankle or knee as per the style and occasion. It is a perfect pick if you have a body shape of Hourglass, Pear, Rectangle and Apple. The styles are extremely ethnic and soothing.
• A-line Kurti – these kind of Kurtis are extremely popular for trendy casual wear.The cut reaches to the calf or ankle and it has flare from the waist for making ‘A’ shaped panel. These are best for Apple shaped body and Pear shaped body type.
• Trail cut Kurti – Trail cut Kurtis are extremely easy to carry. They have a C-cuts on both the sides and the material should be flattering like georgette, chiffon, silk and not cotton.
• Dhoti Style – This is one of the newest trend in Kurti where the typical Kurti is cut in a contemporary style and it is so comfortable to wear in summer and monsoon. In this pattern, the lower portion of the material is cut in drape style and flatters feminine curves so graciously. This style can be worn by all body shapes.
• Short Kurti – if you want something casual, opt for short Kurti which looks very similar to tops and tunics. This is a perfect casual wear and has a blend of Indo-western touch to it. Thus, you can pair it up with jeggings, jeans or even colored pants as well.
• Gown Length Kurti – this kind of Kurtis has a rich feel of Indian traditional look and has been worn by various celebrities on the red carpet in India and abroad. It is very similar to Anarkali ones but reaches up to the floor length. A basic leggings would suffice to complete the royal look with detailed jewelry.
• Side Slit Kurti – One of the hottest trend of 2016 is the side slit Kurti. These Kurtis are basically long and straight in cut with lengthy slit from the waist. The length of the Kurti reaches up to the knee or beyond and you have to pair it up to with an elaborate leggings or pants. They are extremely fancy and easy to carry off.
• Shirt Kurti – The Shirt Kurti is very similar to the shirt dress. The collar of the Kurti resembles of a formal shirt. This style is a fusion of Indian and western trend and a great choice for the office wardrobe. You can also accessorize it with belts and jackets.
• High Low Kurti – Just like we drool over the High-low dress, the High-low Kurti is also in great demand. In this type of Kurti, the front hem is shorter compared to the back. The style adds so much grace and elegance to the outfit and best paired with treggings, jeggings, and skinny jeans.
• Kaftan Style – There are days when we prefer ultra-casual and comfortable outfits yet wants to look pretty and sophisticated. The Kaftan inspired Kurtis are the best possible options and can be paired up with treggings, jeggings, skinny jeans and even full tight slacks. The Kurti is also worn short and long as per your choice.
The different ways to team up the Kurti –
With Leggings – This is a very common style in which we generally pair up the Kurti with a color matching or contrasting legging. Leggings are extremely comfortable to wear and are easily available as well. There are different colored leggings, printed leggings, leggings with sheer paneling, and so on to match your style.
With Jeggings and Skinny Jeans – Jeggings and skinny jeans are totally rage now a days and it is a great way to pair up with Kurti. You can wear your favorite Kurti with your fitted jeggings or jeans for college or office wear. This looks casual and stylish at the same time.
With Shorts – Remember Alia Bhatt in 2 States? It was an absolute delight to watch how she pair up a short 3/4 th sleeve Kurti with a pair of denim shorts. So, next time you want to wear the shorts in the most casual way without turning too many heads, pair it up with a simple short cotton Kurti.
With Boyfriend Jeans – generally boyfriend jeans are flabby and loose but super comfortable to wear. Therefore, wear a sleeveless short Kurti with a pair of boyfriend jeans for a nice casual look. This is perfect for summers as well.
With Long Skirts – Kurti can also be paired with long flowy skirts as well. We have seen a number of Bollywood celebrities pulled off such an ethnic combo of Kurti and long skirt and we love the way it turned out to be. It gives a girl-next- door look with such polish and élan.
With Accessories – Kurti can also be accessorized in various ways. To add an ethnic touch, wear a dupatta with it. For casual look, you can add a scarf around the neck. Further it can be accessorized with bangles, earrings, bracelets, belts, head chain for a bohemian look, etc. as per the style and occasion.
With Palazzos – Kurti can be paired with flared pants or palazzos as well. These are extremely comfortable in summers where you want something loose fitted yet stylish. Palazzos and Kurti is also a killer combo for girl with long legs. Just make sure that the Kurti has no flared bottom. In fact, the sleeveless, long, straight, printed Kurti gives decent professional look with matching plain palazzo.
With Dhoti Pants – Dhoti pants are also coming back in fashion and the several pleats around the thigh area gives a nice flattering touch to the curves. Mix and match your dhoti pants with the Kurti and see how stylish it turns out to be.
Thus, these are the stylish and fashionable Kurti trend which has so many variants and can be paired in a number of ways to perk up your wardrobe.

OPPO F1s Selfie Expert First Impressions, Specs, Pictures
Hi guys,
If you follow my blog, you know I have reviewed the OPPO F1 which was launched in Feb HERE. And then later in April, I went to Delhi for the OPPO F1 Plus Selfie Expert phone launch and also reviewed the F1 Plus HERE, comparing it with Samsung Galaxy A7.
Now OPPO has launched the F1s which is already available for pre-booking. I am trying out the device since about a week now and here are my thoughts on it.
Key Features:
16MP Front camera and 1/3.1 inch Image Sensor
Beautify 4.0
In built Filters
13MP Rear Camera and 1/3.06 inch sensor
2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass 4 Screen
0.22s Fingerprint Unlock
Customizable Finger print activated app launch
3GB RAM
Dual 4G sim
32GB internal memory, expandable upto 128GB
New ColorOS 3.0 based on Android 5.1
Price: INR 17990
Colors Available: Gray & Gold
It’s a 5.5 inch screen normal sized smartphone, it’s not as thin and light as the F1 Plus, but not very heavy too, 160g to be precise. It has 3075mAh battery which is pretty good and lasts through whole day in one full charge!
It comes with earphones, charger, USB cord and a transparent plastic back case.
Of course, the phone does have all the excellent camera features which all OPPO phones come with. From Selfie Panoroma to HDR and Expert Mode.
I have clicked this with the Expert Mode, Ultra HD Mode, HD Mode and the Normal mode. The Expert Mode lets you adjust the white balance, ISO and every other setting. If you are a professional photographer, you can change those every single time before clicking. Ultra HD gives brighter and clearer pictures. HD mode is true to color and will give you super sharp pictures. They are heavy in size and resolution. HD mode is my favourite, and the Normal mode clicks pretty good pictures too. They have an inbuilt editor which lets you quickly edit pictures.
Also my favourite Beautify 4.0 mode, it makes your selfies look flawless! And also natural at the same time. I have taken this picture with the normal mode and the Beautify mode. Mind you, I only have concealer and some powder used here on my skin, and the Beautify mode gives me flawless skin as if I have full makeup on. I love the fact that it brightens and sharpens my eyes.
Both front and rear camera clicks excellent pictures even in low light and night time, compared to all other expensive phones in the segment. I had compared the F1 Plus with Samsung Galaxy A7 in my previous blog post. As you can see in the pictures above, it concentrates light on the subject and dims the background, so the subject is well lit!
Sensors on the phone include Proximity sensor, Ambient light sensor, Accelerometer. The finger print sensor is unbelievably fast! Colours are very bright and sharp and pictures come true to colour.
It has almost all the features of the F1 Plus, and at an attractive price of 17990! If you are looking for a phone that looks stylish, has excellent camera and battery, plus is not very expensive, you do not have to look any further!! OPPO F1s is your answer! Pre book at your nearesr OPPO store.
Monsoon Getaway with American Tourister #PlanATomorrow
Hi Guys,
So I went for a really fun one day monsoon getaway last to last Saturday with American Tourister. We went to Khambale at Igatpuri which is about 3 hours from Mumbai.
The view on route itself was so beautiful, road trips during monsoons are absolutely amazing and a mesmerizing experience.
We left from Santacruz at around 7.30 am and reached Khambale at 11 am, we even took a break in between for some vada pav and chai, of course! You can’t miss that when travelling across Maharashtra 😀
After reaching Khambale, we hiked about 1-1.5 kms and most of it was pretty easy and smooth, except for one steep slope. But then that was the most fun part! Once we reached on top, the view was mesmerising. We just couldn’t stop clicking loads of pictures.
I took some panorama shots, boomerangs and a lot of Snapchat pictures and videos of course :p If you follow me on Snapchat (bhumika_t) or Instagram, you must have already seen those.
We enjoyed the view and sat there for some time. We even planted some trees. The entire area has tree plantations and there were quite a lot of pot plants kept aside, which you can plant anywhere you like.
I am glad that not only did we enjoy and had a fun trip, we even did something to give back to the nature. While we were coming back, it started raining heavily and we got completely drenched. Now you cannot go for a monsoon getaway and not get drenched, right? 😀 That was fun too, basically I enjoyed every part of the trip and Mother Nature made sure it included every element.
We left Khambale and had a proper Maharashtrian thali for lunch at a nearby restaurant. We were so hungry after the hike that the hot, yummy food seemed perfectly appetizing!
It was a fun day and I so needed a break, thank you American Tourister for this fun getaway. American Tourister also has a #MonsoonTourister contest going on, where you have to just send in your monsoon getaway pictures and you can win American Tourister merchandise! Join the contest on their Instagram (@amtouristerin) or twitter (@amtouristerin)
I know I haven’t done an OOTD since a long time. Today I am doing an Indian wear OOTD i.e. a kurti and matching pants.
Both the kurti and pants are from Naari’s Fluid Lines Collection.
Let me tell you a little bit more about Naari first.
About Naari: Desi elements fused with contemporary styles is what Naari is all about. This love love affair is prominent in every piece of fabric designed for an overall ethnic experience. A channel for your personal style and a gateway to high fashion prêt . Integrating the modern Indian woman’s quality, design and personal taste requirements, Naari is the fusion fiesta for the wardrobe.
So as you read, Naari is a perfect amalgamation of modern and traditional. It is Indian wear with a twist i.e. fusion wear. As you can see here, the kurti I have paired with unconventional pants and not the usual leggings. They also have palazzos, wide legged palazzos, slim pants and a lot of different options apart from the conventional leggings.
And they have different collections, i.e. True Blue, Fluid Lines, Real World, Mudcals, Secret Garden, etc. where the collection revolves around a particular concept.
One can buy kurtis, bottoms, dupattas, salwar kameez and even unstitched sets on their online website. They even have Gift Cards.
About the Fluid Lines Collection: If easy-breezy, fuss-free style is your thing, Fluid Lines must feature in your wardrobe! The collection not only boasts of a tantalizing movement of a color with a tinge of shaded pattern, but also rich Lucknowi embroidery to bring the whole look together.
I absolutely loved this simple white kurti with neon pink embroidery work, also the embroidery is placed well and it’s not all over, coz that wouldn’t be very flattering. The high low hem gives it a casual yet semi-formal look. The pink slim pants also has white thread work all over. They are stretchy and very comfortable.
Also I shot this, in the rains, so please excuse the pics :/
Kurti, Slim Pants: Naari Watch: Michael Kors Heels: Steve Madden
I hope you liked the outfit. If you love Indian wear or fusion wear, you should definitely check out ShopNaari.com
