OOTD: Black & Fuchsia Pink Ombre Maxi Dress with Embellished Cape
Hi guys,
Time for an OOTD post. I had this dress since quite some time now, but I had to get few alterations done and hence the delay.
But finally I managed to shoot in this. It’s a stunning dress by the designer Mithi Kalra, she has also showcased at the India Runway Week.
The black and fuchsia pink ombre is gorgeous and the best part is it comes with an embellished cape with the same ombre.
My dream is to fly over the rainbow so high..
So you can wear it two ways, either just the maxi casually or with the cape for a cocktail or reception or any special occasion. I love such dresses which can be worn in different ways, you can make good use out of them.
I love the layers and the dress is quite heavy. The strapless ombre maxi can be worn in so many ways, with a denim jacket, leather jacket or even on it’s own.
Since the cape covers the neck and sleeves and is embellished, you do not need any accessories with this dress. I just paired it with my strappy black block heels and a fuchsia pink Kate Spade sling.
I highly recommend checking out Mithi Kalra, her facebook page HERE
I hope you liked the pics and the dress, I got so many compliments from random strangers on the dress while we were shooting 🙂

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.

This is my latest buy, a super comfortable denim shift shirt dress. Again something I can wear anytime and anywhere, since it’s a shift dress, it is easy to wear, walk around, do anything. Just throw it on and not worry about anything.

On Saturday I attended an interesting event which was a wine and dine at Bungalow 9 in Bandra with team LIVA. There were a few bloggers, people from LIVA, RJ Archana and fashion choreographer Shy Kalra. The event was hosted by the lovely Freishia Bomanbehram. The USP of the event was everyone was supposed to come dressed up in LIVA and fortunately no two were in same outfits 😀 #UnboxWithLiva was all about not being boxed in synthetic fabrics and how in our forever busy lifestyle, we need clothing and fabric that does not box us but lets us free. A fabric which lets you be as comfortable throughout the day as you would be in your PJ’s and do whatever you wish to.
About LIVA: Liva is a new-age naturally created fabric (in a pure or blended form) that transforms not just the garment but also the person wearing it. It is comfortable, soft, 100% natural, and eco-friendly. It is a part of ‘Aditya Birla’ group.
A fabric so fluid, so breathable, so comfortable… that it moves with you. It is designed keeping the new age woman in mind, this fabric defies all norms of conventional materials and aims to keep you going through the day without being weighed down.
LIVA is made from natural fibres which are produced from wood pulp, a natural renewable resource. The pulp used is from trees which are specifically grown for this purpose i.e. more new trees are planted than trees are cut. It gives the earth a much-needed green cover, saves 6-7 times more land in comparison to cotton, and saves 3-4 times more water than usual.
We got to know a lot about Liva and how it is not only comfortable but also eco – friendly, made from wood pulp, conserves water, everything about this fabric is only good!
Also there was a fun photo booth where we clicked lots of pictures with the Liva hashtag placards.
This was the first time I had tried a Liva garment and I was so surprised by how comfortable and light it was, the fabric is outstanding! You know how terrible hot and humid it is currently in Mumbai, it is around 34-35°C. I was wearing this dress since afternoon and in that 4-5 hours, not even once did I feel uncomfortable or rushing home and changing into my PJ’s. The fabric felt absolutely light and comfortable.
LIVA retails at AND, Global Desi, 109°F, Lifestyle, Pantaloons, Desi Belle at Central, Allen Solly and Van Heusen to name a few, but you have to specifically ask them for Liva fabric coz not all garments are Liva. Liva garments have a separate pink ‘Liva’ tag on them.
I bought this pretty black and orange maxi dress from Global Desi, there were just 3 options at Global Desi, 2 maxi dresses and 1 midi dress. Of which I liked this one the most.
I also checked AND and 109°F, sadly AND did not have Liva garments in their new collection and the 109°F store I went to did not have good stock, so finally settled on Global Desi and I am glad coz I love this dress.
It fits beautifully and I love the black and sunset orange combination, the orange creates an ombre here and it also has pink, gold and black detailing on the ombre.
I paired it with my nude and gold clutch, a gold watch and black sandals. Since the outfit is quite bright and colorful, it created a statement in itself and no other accessories were required with it.
Dress: Global Desi (Liva)
Sling: Accessorize
Watch: Michael Kors
Shoes: Shown HERE and HERE
On lips: Lakme Absolute Matte Lip Tint Tangerine Touch
Location: Bungalow 9, Bandra
I hope you liked the outfit, also don’t forget to check out ‘Liva’ whenever you are shopping next, you will absolutely love the fabric.
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.
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
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 😀
I am so loving maxi dresses these days. Actually I am searching for a nice gown fro my DJ, you know those tulle or lace voluminous ones that look so pwetty!
And the basic maxi dresses are also getting all my love and attention. They are so easy to wear anyday anytime.
Here are some of my favourites: (Click on the link to see the product details)
Another perfect dress for any evening occasion. Its not too revealing, has mesh net on sleeves and is quite basic and simple. You can accessorize it well.
These maxi dresses are available on Rosewe.com, I am loving their collection. Also they have Free Shipping worldwide, all the more better!

A new OOTD..this time with a maxi dress..I have only shot one striped maxi before and yet to post that..so actually, the 1st maxi dress outfit I am wearing here..
Few girls believe maxi dresses and palazzos are not for short girls and they only look good on tall girls..well let me tell you, its nothing like that. It all depends on how you carry it..everything can look good equally on shorter girls..not all of us are born tall and that does not deprive us of wearing these amazing stuff, trust me.
Some tips for short girls on how to wear a maxi dress:
Go for vertical prints.which run from top to bottom
Sheer fabric towards the bottom
Slim fit (or cinch with a belt)- You don’t want to look like you are stuck in a tent!
Wedge it up- You can add a fun pair of wedges or block heels (But stick to flats if its a beachy kind dress)
Hi low maxi dresses (Well these are very flattering on the petite girls)
Solid colors and colors close to your skin tone give you a taller appearance
So, go all out and try out those maxis, you fella short sistas 😀 And do share your pics with me 🙂
I am wearing a cut out printed maxi dress here, which has shades of red and green. I love this color combo..and the fabric is so soft to touch. It has a black knee length lining so makes it half sheer which is quite IN and looks chic. Only I wish the fit was more better..it could have been slightly flowy but cinched at the waist..and the upper part could have been more fitted.
I paired it with pop blue earrings and red and mint flats (since its more beachy kinds..you can always accessorize in a different way and add wedges for a different look) and kept it simple on the accessories front with just one gold bracelet and a gold headband..since the dress was to grab the attention.
OOTD: Coral Pink Maxi Dress, Black- White Striped Jacket Hey guys, Another OOTD..this time its a maxi dress..I don’t know why all maxi dress from Chinese sites reach till the knees..and not proper maxi dress..are Chinese girls short ? And could this be a reason ? Any idea ? 😀
Anyways, coming back to the outfit, you guys saw how I layered my pleated dresses with jackets..leather and denim..HERE and HERE..this sort of simple layering definitely works for a climate like Mumbai..where it is not too cold..but just windy and pleasant..but cold enough for a sweatshirt or a jacket..
This time I layered this pleated coral pink maxi dress with a black and white striped jacket..which is not that thick..but cardigan like..the dress is sheer from the knee onwards..
I like the gold detailing on the sleeves and collar..I paired it with white pumps and blue statement necklace and neon bracelet and a neon green statement ring..
