OOTD: Sporty Chic

OOTD: Sporty Chic

Hi guys,

As you all know, I have been talking a lot about the Reliance Trends Spring Summer Collection 2015. We were invited at the Bandra Reliance Trends store to check out and review the collection and pick our favourites and style them 🙂

New Reliance Trends Collection included the brands Rio,Fig, Intribe, Fusion, DNMX and Team Spirit.

Rio has bright coloured tops and tees. Fig has nice summery tunics, sheer crop tops, harem pants,etc. DNMX was all about denim, from printed (polka dots too :p) denims to all types of pants, shorts and also nice denim shirts which mostly all of us picked 😀 It is perfect for layering in summers since quite thin and breathable. Intribe had floral numbered tops, lots of sheer and sequin and even faux leather. Fusion obviously had the Indo-western look and feel with bright skirts, shirts, kurtis,etc. And lastly, Team Spirit was all about casuals and sporty. Numbered tees, hoodie vests,stripes, etc.

For creating this look, I went went a vertical striped numbered tee from Team Spirit. I love how the number has an ombre effect <3 And paired it with blue skinny denims from DNMX, the ombre blue number on the tee matches and balances the outfit.

I paired it with my bright black and pink floral statement necklace, a classic watch, a pretty stone silver ring and studded black pumps. The reflecting sunnies steal the show though 😀 Absolutely loved the mirror reflecting round sunglasses.

The best part is all the brands are quite affordable and do not burn a hole in your pocket. The stuff is perfect for everyday wear and there is something for everyone,from sporty Team Spirit to trendy Fig and DNMX to Indo- western Fusion. You guys also have a chance to win this look and/or the looks created by other bloggers starting from 13th and going till 17th May on the Reliance  Trends facebook and twitter. Go follow now 😉

Future of Fashion in Mobile-only world

Future of Fashion in Mobile-only world and what it means for you, as the consumer?

Hey guys,

I was thinking of how everything these days is turning mobile-friendly..especially shopping. A large percentage of people these days prefer shopping online from the comfort of their home or office or while travelling through their mobiles on apps.

We even have fashion shows online now, like the recent Masaba Gupta show at Lakme Fashion Week Spring Summer 2015 which was the first show to be showcased live on Instagram for people around the globe to watch it! Isn’t that a cool concept?!

I guess everything around is soon turning digital. How many of you shop online on your mobile through e-commerce site apps? I do! It is quite easy and convenient, shopping on the go.

There are so many things to come up in India, while some of them are already in use in countries like US. E.g.: QR codes. While shopping anywhere in stores, you can scan the bar code of the product through your mobile and you get redirected to the website and the product page where you actually get the same item,cheaper! It will automatically place the order for you in one click and the product would be delivered at your place the next day. Awesome,right?

There are also things like digital fitting rooms which help you actually check the size with the help of 3D image and virtual mirror through your mobile’ s camera. So many people have become entrepreneurs today by having their own e-commerce site or a page on facebook /Instagram where they sell or re-sell products and also as a buyer, you might get a lot of stuff, which you were always looking for and also quite a few options to get the best price from. So consumers get many many options and choices now.

Coming to mobile apps, there are so many apps right now from creating your wishlist from e-commerce sites and helping you get the outfit at a lowest possible price to sending the best sales,discounts,vouchers, gift cards from 100’s of sites to helping you shop according to your body type and giving you the best fashion advice. There are just lots of apps for all your fashion needs.  For e.g. Roposo which helps you find fashion products all over the web according to your taste, Klip where you can clip in products you like while browsing on your customized boards,Magzter which gives you access to high end magazines and feed from Vogue India, Harper’s Bazaar,etc, Polyvore which helps you create fashion sets,so you can understand what would look good and work with what items.

And and how do you forget us! The beauty/fashion bloggers..we are here to help update you on everything from new launches to what’s happening around, the latest trends and even reviewing the products if they are worth your hard earned money. So, checking reviews on your mobile while hitting that ‘Buy’ button helps you save some moolah 😀 Subscribe to us now, for getting all our latest posts directly in your mail box 😀 Also fashion outfit posts, what to pair with what, what works for which body type, where to buy something you liked, how to accessorize, the right kind of bags and shoes, we are here for all your fashion needs 🙂

And last but not the least, e- commerce shopping sites. Myntra is one e- commerce website that is already planning the big leap to become mobile-only shopping platform in India. I hope that happens soon, can’t wait to see the response.

What do you, as a consumer, feel about the future of fashion in a mobile-only world?

A very Denim Story/Hi, how do you Denim?

A very Denim Story/Hi, how do you Denim?

Note: There is a Secret Message for all Denim lovers at the end of this article.

Denims, more specifically, jeans, have taken over the clothing industry faster than any other garment has and are as widely embraced, worn and loved the world over. The classic symbol of the American West is now a staple in wardrobes around the world. From a waiter at a restaurant, to the most influential people in the world, everybody has jeans as an important part of their wardrobe.

Have you ever wondered why jeans are so popular?

The main reason for their popularity among the people was not only because of the different ways they are worn, but the different and particular styles in which they ‘wear’. The way jeans wear off over time or the way the “age” says a lot about the person wearing them. They have become a common representative for anyone and everyone’s unique personality. Durable, comfortable and yet stylish enough to always be a part of the latest trends, Jeans are forever.

Denim Over the years

The 70’s
This decade in particular was also popularly known as the “hippie age”. Embroidery, bright colors, stonewash, rhinestones and patches were just some of the jean trends of the time.

The 80’s

This decade is when designer denim was truly born. Designer jeans became a true status symbol. Stonewash, acid wash and ripped jeans were some of the most popular looks, along with skinny leg cuts that were tapered at the ankle

The 90’s

Carpenter jeans and Baggy Jeans were among the most trendy looks, as well as overalls, which were popular among women.

The 2000s

In the early 2000s, with the rise of pop culture denim also became a fashion staple once again, becoming an appropriate item of clothing to wear out on a Friday night or even to the office. A lot of new styles like skinny jeans and Straight cuts began to trend in a very strong manner.

Trending Today
Bell bottoms and Hip huggers are all set to make a remarkable comeback in the spring of 2015. It looks like the 70’s denim culture is ready to spring back to life. We all love our retro side and we know how to pull off the look as well!

OOTD: Being a Kid at Disneyland, Hong Kong

OOTD: Being a Kid at Disneyland, Hong Kong

Hey guys,

Here is another OOTD from Hong Kong…from Disneyland 😀 Yay

Everyone becomes a kid again once you enter Disneyland..it was super fun, though in terms of rides, Ocean Park was much better. Disneyland is a place where the kids would enjoy a lot, where as adults would love Ocean Park and the rides there more.

I wore this fun blue tee which read ‘I am LOLing..what’s your mood today?’ with lots of smileys thrown in. How cute is it..I loved it and thought it was perfect for Disneyland.

Paired it with my blue denims and mint flats from Bata, accessorized with Daniel Wellington watch and a pearl and spiked bracelet.

Also my black blazer to layer since it cold there..Mumbai people not used to :p

Do you know there is a separate MTR just for Disneyland Resort station? One needs to change the MTR to get to Disneyland. Also the train has mickey mouse windows and handles..how adorable the train looked!

Tee: Vintage
Denims: Forever 21
Shoes: Bata
Watch: Daniel Wellington
Bracelets: Mix

I hope you liked the outfit..do let me know in the comments below 🙂

Wardrobe Full of Clothes But Nothing To Wear?

Wardrobe Full of Clothes But Nothing To Wear?

How many of you relate to this on some or the other days? :raises hand up slowly: Do you know that most women wear only 20% of their wardrobe 80% of the time? #Fact

The main reason for a wardrobe brimming with clothes but still have nothing to wear, is unorganized/cluttered wardrobe.

Few ways in which you can organize your wardrobe in a much better way:

1) Donate

Do away with clothes you haven’t worn in the past 6 months..there is hardly any chance you would be wearing them anytime soon in the near future. Donate the old clothes and shoes (or the ones that no longer fit) to the needy, that way you have more space plus some extra blessings 🙂 Do not keep those old denims/tees, etc. waiting to lose weight and get back in them some day. You can always buy new clothes when you lose weight..a little motivation to work out harder 😀

2) Arrange

Arrange your clothes according to seasons..summer and winter clothing, according to formal, casual and Indian wear, maybe all denims together,skirts together,etc. I do that always, makes my job of finding clothes easy. Some people prefer arranging according to colors which is also a good idea.

3) Curb impulsive purchases

‘Sale’, ‘Flat 50% off’, ‘Clearance’,etc. are some magical words which attract us :p Been there, done that! Or even emotional shopping, having a bad day and there starts our  online shopping sites’ browsing. Do not give into the magical ‘sale’ word which is nothing but a marketing gimmick and also cut down on the emotional shopping! Shopping is no solution to our problems, its difficult but you can also try and restrict yourself to once a month or having a budget for shopping,etc.

4) Invest in key pieces

Anything that you have too many of needs to go, 5-6 pairs of black formal pants and denims, 3-4 white shirts, etc You do not need multiple of same things instead invest in some key pieces and quality stuff. Buy some premium western wear for women which are classic, can be worn on multiple occasions and you can create at least 3 different looks with! That, my friend, is the key.

5) Repeat the process

Keep cleaning, reorganizing and rearranging your wardrobe regularly, at least once in 6 months. Repeat this whole process and you are bound to keep your wardrobe in check.

Remember out of sight,out of mind. If you cannot see all of your clothes, you are never bound to wear them. Only the ones that are visible would be worn day in and day out while the rest just catches dust.

I hope these ideas help you organize your wardrobe better and you can make more use of your stuff 🙂

OOTD: Striped with Leather,Zebra Print Top

OOTD: Striped with Leather,Zebra Print Top

Hey guys, Zovi had this #BlogForZovi contest where one had to create looks/outfit posts with Zovi merchandise..here is my try 🙂

I paired this black and white belted dress with a leather jacket to add some punk and beige bow wedges to add some girliness to the look.

Black funky earrings and a Daniel Wellington watch to complete the look.

Also this cute zebra print sheer top is from Zovi which I paired with my Forever 21 black denims.

It was super easy to browse and navigate Zovi.com. They have categories for Men,Women,Looks, What’s New, etc. and sub categories for Western wear, Indian wear, Foot wear, Winter wear,etc which is further classified into kurtis, tops,bottoms,etc. The order was placed within minutes and I got an immediate confirmation call,sms and email. I received the order within 3-4 days even though the expected date was supposed to be 6-7 days after placing the order..which was a nice surprise 😀 Also the search bar on Zovi is super quick and impressive, you always find the exact stuff you are looking for.

Bow wedges: Zovi
Leather Jacket, Earrings: Romwe

OOTD: Pink Princessy Gown, Sky High Heels

OOTD: Pink Princessy Gown, Sky High Heels

Hey guys,

This is a random OOTD I had to show you guys. I got this pretty pink evening gown from Buyingdress and I paired it with my highest heels coz obviously this gown is long. The heels are 6 inches 😀 I am glad there is platform of 2 inches which makes them comfortable and also they are very light weight.

I love the nude color, strappy design and the tassels behind.

Also the gown has this nice silver detailing on the neck and front, but its not over the top. I wore this diamond in rose gold set along with it and some pearl + diamante bracelets.

Gown: Buyingdress
Shoes: Amiclubwear
Necklace+ Earrings: Wedding Gift 😀
Bracelets: Random

On lips: Lakme Absolute Gloss Stylist in Pink Pout

I hope you like it 😀 I know hubby has shaken 1-2 pics :/ Also not getting enough lighting, could’nt go for a shoot outside sadly.

OOTD: Black Lace Maxi Dress

OOTD: Black Lace Maxi Dress

Hey guys,

So I had ordered for a beautiful beige lace maxi dress with a deep V back for my DJ function which is on 4th Dec but it has still not arrived :/

Hence,my 2nd option is this pretty black lace dress. This dress is perfect for a party, including a formal party, or a late night event, etc. Its formal and pretty at the same time.

The length needs some altering I believe, would check.

I paired it with my favourite Colorbar Darkened Summer Lipstick in Wild Mauve and gold dangling earrings with hair on one side. I intend to go for side swept curls for the function.

I don’t usually like cap sleeves coz it makes the arms look fatter which is also my problem area.

A gold cuff in one hand and black gold studded gladiator heels to finish the look. I might go for my Dune London shoes, still thinking. I plan to change into my red polka dots Wills Lifestyle knee length dress (which I had shared on my Instagram and twitter) later while dancing 😀

Dress: StalkBuyLove
Earrings: The Trunk Label
Shoes: AmiClubWear

On Lips: Colorbar Wild Mauve

Wedding Gowns and Bridesmaid Dresses

Wedding Gowns and Bridesmaid Dresses

There are a lot of options when it comes to the white wedding gowns and bridesmaid dresses or prom dresses and more online websites too. One get confused as to which is the best site and where to buy from.

You get amazing evening dresses on Asos. And there are few others I like Oasap, Romwe, Sheinside, etc.

But when its an exclusive only wedding gowns website, you know you would get the best designs, fabrics and customization done. From lace to silk to taffeta. Backless lace to the fluffy mesh to the long trains. The gorgeous colors like royal blue, champagne, deep purple, baby pink to 60 more options.

One such website is WeddingShe. Beautiful designs, I love so many of them! A big wishlist on my account :p They have beautiful ‘Mother of the Bride’ dresses too and some not so heavy ones for the pre wedding functions too.

About WeddingShe: It is your reliable online purchasing channel.

Numerous selections together with attractive pages of imports give you an enjoyable on-line shopping experience. You are definitely not willing to leave.

The best thing is the prices, quite affordable and cheap. Also the short cocktail/prom dresses are super gorgeous. Check out more discount prom dresses here http://www.weddingshe.com/list/Evening-Dresses-14354/ 

 

I loved their entire collection. Definitely recommend checking out WeddingShe. They also have shoes,jackets,veils,jewellery,etc
