Outfit Of The Day1 at The Rajasthan Fashion Week

My Day1 at the " Rajasthan Fashion Week 2012" was so Magical and Fashionable as I expected it to Be..and Those of you ..who missed the Highlights post.. you can catch it Here

After the last Fashion Week.. I realized  attending them is one Fashionable Affair.. You just not  have to LOOK Your BEST but also FEEL Comfortable in what you are wearing.. Because you are Not Some Model who just have to walk the Runway and then get outta that dress.. You have to sport it for the rest of the Day..(Unless you are a Celebrity or some exception..) So wear something that's..

1. Comfortable- You have to spend the rest of the Day( few hours) in the same outfit..so I chose my all time favorite Jegging and a White Asymmetrical Shirt ( last worn Here )

2. Make a Statement - Because its Fashion Week.. you can't just wear your favorite Tee or Jegging ( in my case) .. You sure don't want to feel like some Alien among all the best dressed people..In short.. you should look you Stylish Best..

3. Keep it SIMPLE and YOU-- For example- If you are not a Dress person( like Me) you should NOT wear it just for the Sake of Fashion Week (or some other Fashion Event). The Outfit that you wear and how you accessorize the whole Look should be just YOU.. Its Not the RIGHT Day for Going over the top and Dressing like someone else.. So No Major Experiments..They might  turn out into BLUNDERS ..!!

4. Others- I am a Big BAG person.. because I carry whole lot of stuff.. You dont have to do that..!! That's what I learnd .. Carry the few essentials.. and keep it as light, as possible.. coz you have to carry that for the rest of the Day..So I carried my Favorite Orange Side Sling Bag..
 FOOTWEAR is an essential part of the look.. so if you are not feeling comfortable wearing it .. It will ruin the rest of you Day.. Its not the Day to deal with shoe bite rite?? Because Fashion Week requires a lot of walking and running around.. So I wore my favorite Tan Wedges..

(Opinion Expressed above are from My Personal Experiences.. They might differ from person to person..)

Here are few pics from The Day.. I managed to Convince VOGUE India's Photographer, Mr. Vinod Kumar to click mypics everyday.. for Blog Posts..!!





I am wearing-
Shirt - Splash
Jeggings - Shoppers Stop
Bag - Kamla Nagar
Shoes - South Ex II
Watch -Aldo Accessories
Necklace - GK 1, M-Block
Bracelets - Forever21 and Customized

There are two more Outfit Posts from the Fashion Week.. So watch out this space in case you wanna know what I wore.. *__*

Highlights of Day 2: Rajasthan Fashion Week..

The Day 2 at Rajsthan Fashion Week was Colorful..


First Show of the Day, by Poonam Patel and Swati Modo was a huge success:
Rohit Verma was the showstopper for her opening show on the second day of Rajasthan Fashion Week.


·      This young designer fromVarodra showcased an Indo-western collection with big motifs  and a wide range of outfits ranging from semi stitched dresses, tunics , kurta, sarees ,chaniya-choli to bridal wear..and Swati Modo was the official shoe partner for the entire Fashion Week..


Among all the well know designers..there were few new names.. Hetal is one of them.. She is still a Fashion Design student in Kota, Rajasthan.. 


She is already making a mark in the Fashion industry with her entry in the prestigious, Rajasthan Fashion Week .. Her Collection was called, "Power of Shiva" so a lot of Rudraksha jewellery was seen and colors were earthy and eye-soothing ..

·       Designer Surbhi Shah had supermodel Jesse Randhawa stopping the show for her. The look Surbhi gave to Jesse was a very ethnic inspired by the royal Rajasthan. She was draped in a bright Rajasthani colourful Gota Patti lehenga.
 Surbhi Shah’s collection was a mixture of intricate Gotapatti work in an effort to revive the colourful Rajasthan. The word for the whole collection was "Beaututiful"..


  Ace Designer Pam Mehta showcased a ‘Floral Fiesta’, a collection wherein ‘Relaxed Couture comes to life. The collection was a amazingly vibrant, colourful embellishied with zari, resham and swarvoski. with predraped saris and sari gowns,it was  a very unique concept in itself. 
 The highlights of the collection were interesting head gears..

 The gorgeous Riya Sen was her showstopper for the designer. Pam draped Riya in a eight kali pre-stiched lehenga sari in turquoise and gold. She wanted to potray Riya as a contemporary bride.. and sure.. She looked like one..

 Sumit Dasgupta's collection was inspired by Chandragupta which potrayed the  ancient Maurya’s Era.

 Television's popular face.. Aamir Ali walked the ramp for him..to open the show..He came and left in a hush-hush and was unavailable for media byte..


Rohit and Abhishek did the closing show with their latest collection  ‘The Dance of Life’

 Rohit Kamra introduced a Vibrant summer collection with a new palette celebrating the different colors of Life. White represents eternity and dusty tones of Yellow Orange Green & Blue exude different moods one experiences. He designed a formal look of Bandhgalas, Achkans and Sherwanis coupled with Breeches, Patialas, Cowl and Harem pants for men. Androgyny comes into play with women carrying Jackets, Jodhpurs Long Skirts, representing their independent & intellectual persona, dancing to a new tune of Life. The show stopper for his show were Pankaj Singh, Ashok Maneria and Dikshant Yagnik from  Rajasthan Royals...........

That's it for Day 2 of Rajasthan Fashion Week..If you this this was good.. you have better in store from Day 3 with a lot of Bollytown walking the Ramp..Stay tuned..

Day 1 Highlights : "Rajasthan Fashion Week"

May26th
"Rajasthan Fashion Week" started off with a BANG!! But I left Delhi the same day , morning.
Journey to Jaiupr was Long, Tiring but Fun.. Nevidita from IANS was my company during the journey and my stay .. We reached our Hotel ,Fortune-Bella Casa,a little late, which is just 100 steps away from Marriot , which was the Venue for " Rajasthan Fashion Week " , Jaipur.. and unfortunately missed the inauguration and first show of Day!

Opening Ceremony..
Vivek Oberoi was one of the Guest of Honor..


The first season of RFW 2012 got a fantastic opening by Ace Fashion Designer Kanwaljeet Singh. The designer highlighted classic retro trend of 80’s with great looking models. The Designer brought back the colors and culture of India through flowing drapes celebrating the different aspects of life. Head-gears done up in Red, black, neon and paprika made the collection very lively.

























 Vivek Oberoi was the show stopper for Kirti Rathore show. Kirti has been supporting an NGO “RAYS – Aasha Ki Ek Kiran” for the welfare of children who are HIV positive. The children walked along with Kirti and Vivek calling out for the much needed support for such children.


























  Kainaz Motiwala who has done movies like Ragini MMS, Pathshaala, Wake Up Sid  stopped the show for  Daniel( the designer..), this collection was very Boho and simple.. he played with organic fabric and  earthy colors.. total treat for eyes.. one of my favorite shows of the day..







Showcase by Shaahid Amir and Zaid Khan , the Show stopper of the Show..

































 Showcase by Shaahid Amir with Rakesh Bapat, the popular TV Star..












































The Finale Show-by Rohit Verma.. His Collection was fun and show was full of Drama.. just so Rohit.. !!

SUIT UP !! #TangerineRemix

  #  This Post is my Entry for  #_InFB's Tangerine Remix *__*


  #   How you can recycle your Mom's Closet..











When we were given #Tangerine as a theme for _InFB for remix I had no clue what to wear.. I went through my Closet but.. couldn't find anything that's apt for the theme.. Until yesterday.. when I realized that I have this"Salwar Suit " from my Cousin's wedding .. I wore this outfit on her Engagement(which was in April'12).. with Statement earrings and my all time favorite "Aldo gold watch.." 
The Salwar and Dupatta  are actually  from my "Mom's suit"( look at her pic below )

My Darling Mommie! She wore Same Salwar Suit to another Cousin's Engagement a  year before .. 

Since..My Mom got this suit.. I wanted to steal it.. so.. when recently I was suppose to shop for my cousin's wedding I saved instead.. I asked my friend Mansi Batra , who is a fellow design student and  Boutique "Myra"..to do the suit for me that matches with the Dupatta and Salwar.. So we both sat down and did the whole design and chose Slik as fabric in Orange Color with Kundan work detailing on the sleeves and hemline..



I love experimenting with my Mom's Indian wear and My Dad's old shirts and Pants.. 
You can check some of my previous posts for ideas here..
