This green leaf print has been everywhere on the internet, it’s a perfect summer dress. This banana palm leaf print was first introduced at Dolce & Gabbana and now you see it everywhere.. Zara, TopShop, Shein, For Love & Lemons, Asos and you see it in jumpsuits, maxis, short dresses, pretty much everything. It’s a nice tropical, summer print and the white and green combination looks really good.
I got this maxi from Shein, it comes with a self print tie-up belt.
I paired it with my Cult Gaia Large Bamboo Ark Bag and nude bow shoes. Kept the accessories minimal to big pearl studs from Kazo and my Daniel Wellington watch.
We shot this at Worli Sea Face, with the Bandra Worli Sea Link in the background. Though it was super hot and sunny and we tried to click without over exposing the pictures.
With Shein being in India now, it’s really easy to shop with no customs and easy payment options including COD and Paytm. You can get 20% off using my coupon code ‘bhumika20’ on Shein.in

Thank you for all the love on my previous orange dress OOTD here and on Instagram. I am back again with another OOTD from the same shoot.
I own a few midi skirts, a printed town blue one and a red and white floral one, but I didn’t have a pleated one. Pleated skirts make you look classy and elegant instantly, plus they don’t need ironing often, so are very low maintenance.
I love how romantic an outfit looks, with a pleated skirt. I got this champagne pleated skirt from Lulu & Sky. I love the mesh net at the lower half which plays a peek-a-boo. It adds something extra to the plain pleated skirt, and it was quite a steal during sale.
This black one off shoulder top is from H&M. Again something I bought on sale, when H&M started online in India, they had free shipping and 25% off on first order for the first two weeks.
This black top is very versatile and can be paired with numerous skirts/denims and is a classic piece. Only thing is it’s not cotton, so not for hot summer days.
It hugs the body well and the off shoulder sits well on me. The only issue is, since it’s body hugging, if you wear something tight like the waist band of this skirt, there will be some flab accentuated through the top. But only if you wear it with something that is tight on the waist and back, not something like a jeans or denim skirt i.e. non elastic.
I did have this issue with this pairing as obviously I do have fat and I am not a zero stomach/body fat completely fit person 😀 (yet, wish to be fitter for sure)
But other than that, I love everything about this pairing. Black and champagne work well together and you can make your pleated skirt formal with a formal black top and heels like this or casual with a tee and sneakers. It looks good both ways and I would definitely pair it with sneakers too, stay tuned to my Instagram for more outfit posts and pairings 🙂
I paired the outfit with silver glitter heels. Now these heels are not too high and are comfortable with the apt height and complimented the outfit well.
I could have added something around my neck, but I felt it would a little too much. I would have definitely added something a year or two ago, but I am past that phase now. I love small, delicate accessories/jewellery or nothing at all.

I hope you liked the outfit, do you like pleated skirts? Let me know your thoughts.
I am doing an outfit post after ages! I didn’t shoot anything new since Sept, almost 5-6 months apart from 1-2 campaigns in between which were not proper outfit shoots as such.
My photographer was busy with weddings and I wasn’t too keen in between. I had a bunch of things to shoot this time from this dress, to shoes and bag. I have also shopped a lot in the past 2-3 months from ShopBop, Zara and online H & M and Lulu & Sky, so expect more shoots and posts 😀
We did three outfits this time, and the first one was this. It’s a little difficult to get the venue and match the availability of photographer, venue and me i.e. on days when I don’t have events, shoots or any family stuff. So shooting 2-3 outfits at one go works best. But after two changes and clicking the third outfit, it gets a bit tiring :p
So anyhoo, coming back to this bright orange dress! I love yellow and orange, they are my favourite colours, apart from red. Anything bright and colourful and I am instantly attracted. I am loving mustard yellow, sunflower yellow, this orange and all sunset hues this summer (in fact, all year round :D)
This orange straight fit dress is from Afamado. It’s neither a shift dress nor a tight bodycon, but a straight, comfortable fit which hugs your body but doesn’t cling it.
Afamado has sizes from S to 6XL, so you can be any size and still you can get the dresses and they even have a ‘Made to Measure’ option where they can customize the outfit for you as per your exact measurements.
When I got this dress initially, it was quite loose and then they altered it for me. I lost some weight and it’s still a little loose, I clipped it from behind so that it gives a better fit 😀 But basically, it’s a boon for people who do not find the correct size in clothes as per their body type or have basic, boring things which they never like.
I love the interesting cold shoulder ruffled sleeves it has. I am not into sleeveless clothing, and this works perfectly for me. It’s not see through or sheer and I didn’t have to layer anything underneath.
Truffle Collection
I paired it with nude bow design shoes from Truffle Collection, these are the most comfortable pair of shoes I own and I have many! I am not comfortable wearing heels for a long period of time, but these I can wear. They are super comfortable and light weight, does not give any shoe bites plus look so cute! They work with everything from dresses to denims.
Loeffler Randall
I chose this colourful Loeffler Randall sling with round pom pom kind of floral work on it. This bag is super cute and colourful and even though the dress is bright, the shoes were nude and the accents of this bag matched the dress well as it had orange too.
Overall I really liked this outfit and how it came through. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below 🙂
Also I am looking for something lemon print, top or dress, do let me know if you find it :p
I recently got my hands on the new A/W’17 collection from Recap Jeans. A skinny fit denims and a super pretty blue and black printed off shoulder top.
I folded the denims a little to give the ankle length look, also the black contrast at the ankle looked chic.
The top was really comfortable and I absolutely loved the fabric, something I can wear comfortably all through the day and seasons, even in a humid city like Mumbai.
I am not much into skinny jeans, I like the straight fit more, but this was surprisingly comfortable. I didn’t feel suffocated and it is super stretchy, so even while bending/sitting, it was all fine.
I paired the outfit with a bamboo bag and rose gold pumps.

I have been meaning to do this post since a while and each time it gets delayed due to something. Finally sat down to post this.
I love colours, I am sure you know already. Purple, Pink, Orange, Yellow, all bright coloured dresses/tops are my favourites! I get instantly attracted to sunshine yellow, bright orange, deep purple and many a times in online shopping, the end product doesn’t turn out to be as bright as you expected it to be and saw on screen.
I saw this deep purple lace dress and loved it. I ordered it and was hoping for it be shown. Thankfully it was 🙂
I paired it with a gold layered choker neck piece and nude Steve Madden pumps. Since the outfit is bright, I kept rest of the things neutral. I am majorly into tan/nude/black when it comes to shoes and bags because I know I go for bright outfits mostly and the balance is always maintained.
I also wore the nerdy geek aviators that are quite IN and everywhere these days. I just wanted to give it a try and loved them on me. I usually don’t like sunglasses on my face, hence you don’t see me wearing them often even though I have quite a few.
The highlight of this look along with the dress is the new LakmexMasaba Lip Pout in Role-A-Cola, the purple lips went perfectly with the dress.
I hope you liked the look, do let me know your thoughts in the comments below.
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 am doing an OOTD after a long time, because my daily outfits I usually share on my Instagram now. If you are not following me there, follow now : bhumika_t
But I have thought of sharing outfits of which I do elaborate shoots of or the outfits which are really pretty and absolutely deserve more pics and an entire blog post, here.
I got this blue and black maxi dress from eShakti in December, I know it’s been quite some time. I had gone for a holiday and came back with a fracture and was on bed rest entire month. It took me quite some time to be completely ok and then couldn’t get around shooting, hence the delay. I am really sorry for that.
Coming to eShakti, I got an email from them and I checked their website and I was absolutely in awe! I had no idea of an Indian website having such beautiful customized clothing at such an affordable price. eShakti primarily catered to US and towards the end of last year, they started the India operations.
They have tops, skirts, dresses, everything from casual to party wear and on trend clothes for women. And the best part is you can customize neck, sleeves, length, measurements, everything! So it is Your Size. Your Style
If you like a print in maxi dress, you can get the same in a shift dress, midi dress, skater dress, with sleeves, you can customize everything. And the best part is they have rates ranging from 1000 to 3000-4000, which is fabulous for a fully customized outfit. And mind you, at 3-4k, you get a beautiful cocktail gown!
I had to struggle a lot to find a nice, simple gown for my cocktail function, because in all the shops I got the diamond work gowns which I hate. They didn’t have anything simple or as per my liking, everything was too blingy for my taste. I finally went a black lace maxi dress from StalkBuyLove, which was too long and I had to alter the height of it.
If eShakti was retailing then and I would have come across this, I would have most definitely bought a gown from here. Perhaps this one only 🙂
I loved this peacock blue and black maxi dress. It has a silk base and a complete mest net coverage from the top, sleeves to bottom, with black polka dots ( in thread embroidery) throughout the dress. It has a zip behind and the entire outfit material from the cloth to the zip and buttons is amazing quality, no complaints whatsoever!
It also has pockets! My favourite part in a dress 🙂
I kept the accessories pretty simple, with just my rose gold Daniel Wellington Classic Petite watch and rose gold cuff. You can get 15% off on www.danielwellington.com using my code ‘BHUMIKA’
I really love this dress and I highly recommend eShakti. You will find everything from casual to party wear here and you can customize pretty much everything. They do take 7-10 days to deliver as they need to customize the outfit.
I had two back to back events the other day and I wore this look and outfit. I filmed this GRWM and created my favourite glam champagne smokey eyes.

Another OOTD for you. I love midi dresses, especially these flared kinds. They look very flattering on all body types.
White and Red is one of my favourite combination, this dress had red abstract print on white base. It’s from Dainty Jewells. They have a beautiful collection of dresses, available in a large variety of sizes. Also a lot of bridesmaid dresses.
I paired it with my gold watch, tan sling and nude strappy heels. Since the dress was bright enough, I kept the accessories neutral as otherwise the colors would clash and be too loud.

Heels: Zara
Bag, Watch: Michael Kors
Earrings: House of Tuhina
