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 🙂

Day before yesterday I went to the Tanishq showroom to checkout the new Rivaah collection, which is the special bridal collection launched by Tanishq
About Rivaah: Rivaah is an ode to the beautiful brides of India. As varied as the communities she hails from, the Indian bride looks absolutely resplendent in her wedding finery. Nurturing her hopes and dreams, and experiencing a myriad of emotions, she looks forward to her wedding day like no other, for this is the day she becomes one with her partner.
RIVAAH = RIWAAZ + VIVAAH
I love the name Rivaah, it is a combination (Sandhi in Sanskrit) of Riwaaz and Vivaah. They have rightly combined both ‘tradition’ and different types of ‘weddings’ in India, and brought together this special bridal collection catering to 13 different communities in India.
Doli & Swan Designs
They have kept in mind the traditions followed by the different communities and the signature wedding jewellery found in each community, for e.g. temple jewellery for South Indian brides, the jhalar design for Bengali brides, etc.,
Different communities they have covered:
Gujurati
Bengali
Bihari
Marathi
Kannada
Malayali
Marwari
Oriya
Punjabi
Rajasthani
Sikh
Tamil
Telugu
So whether you are a Bengali Bodhu or Gujurati Vadhu or a Punjabi Lari, and any kind of wedding jewellery you are looking for, you will find them all here.
Entire Bengali Trousseau
Also they have quite a few contemporary designs like swan and peacock, a doli bidai procession, dhol, etc., And a beautiful mix of uncut diamonds and gems with gold base for the modern bride.
The jadau and kundan sets are breathtaking, I absolutely loved the two I tried.
They have also covered every bridal function from mehendi to sangeet to the wedding and reception, and you will find a lot of pieces for each function from light to heavy.
As the wedding season is approaching, if you are a bride-to-be, I would definitely suggest checking out the new Rivaah collection by Tanishq as they have a perfect mix of trendy and classic bridal jewellery and the collection has something for every bride out there.
And no, these are not the pieces that you will just wear once and then would stay in the lockers forever, post your wedding. These are something which you can style in so many ways and wear for many different occasions.
Like this necklace I have worn here, is perfect for your cocktail or reception, but you can wear it again with an indo-western fusion outfit or a gown for your close friend or family wedding reception or cocktail. A royal wedding, a red carpet, would work everywhere. Even the gold pieces with detailed enamel work, can be paired with indo western outfits. You can wear just the earrings too for post wedding family dinners, etc.
They also have a beautiful collection of bangles and rings which you can mix and match with a lot of outfits.
There were so many pieces to choose from, I could only capture a few. I suggest going to your nearest Tanishq store and checking out the entire collection for yourself.
