OOTD POST: Sheer Love

 I know how hard it is to style sheer outfits, you need to be really smart playing 'Peek a boo' while styling them *__^ . So, what better than an outfit styling post for some sheer inspiration and comeback to my favorite outfit posts on the blog, rite??

For this post, I collaborated with a talented young photographer, Jay Trivedi (I'll link his profile in the credits). Honestly, this post was more of an experiment, as sunlight was dying and we could only shoot for a couple of minutes; sounds totally random, rite? But the result ain't that disappointing. I hope!

So, if you guys  find this outfit styling post helpful, do shower some love upon us. My little photographer and I would really appreciate that. More specific details of the outfits would be available at the end of this picture heavy post. Merci!

I styled this sheer shirt, that hides just enough and at the right place *__^, which was a thrift find with a Mango skinny pants, D&A strap sandals, Accessorize bag in tan, Forever21 India accessories and Aldo watch.

Style Myntra : Neons (Part-1)

Spring Summer'13 tends have been talked and discussed enough on the blogsphere, so there is not much left to say. So, I thought why not do a series of styling post with the help of my favourite online shopping destination-"Myntra.com" which has the largest collection of apparels, accessories, and footwear to chose from the wide range of brands.

"Neons" has been there, in the fashion scene for a while, but has managed to sustain its place again this year. It's not only runway's or designer's favourite, but  my personal favourite trend this year.I LOVE Colors and I keep experimenting with them when I am styling my look . I generally keep my styling understated;Simple clothes and statement accessories, easy to slip, from my day look to, night look. All you need to do is, play with colors and statement accessories. To explain it better, I have styled a look( below), to explain it better to my readers.

For day, I paired a teal color blouse with bright yellow, pink pumps, and a statement necklace.
For night, I paired the same blouse with a bright pink high-waist skirt , pink pumps and statement earrings and bright pink lip coolor / bright cheeks or bold eyes.

DLF Promenade Fashion Bloggers Meet2013

19th March, DLF Promenade hosted a Delhi Fashion Bloggers Meet which brought together 12 fashion  bloggers from Delhi and Mumbai. All the bloggers were given a challenge to create either of these looks.. Androgynous, Monochrome, Resort-Wear, Formal-Wear, Neon& Neutrals, Pastels, Graphical using apparels, shoes and accessories from the in-house brands available at the mall including Zara, Mango, Bebe, Aldo, CKJ, lacoste, Clarks, Tommy Hilfiger, Sunglass Hut, FCUK, Steve Madden., etc.,. All the looks were the judged by ace designer Suneet Verma..

My choice of theme was Androgynous for obvious reasons( that's my personal style and is still kinda untapped in Indian Fashion scene) and styled this adorable girl Garima, who happens to be a class 12th student, listens to Jazz and loves dressing up like her favourite Jazz musician who apparently dresses exactly like this..

Leather pants, Leather bralette, Biker Jacket, Bow-tie, Studded flats, clutch c/o ZARA

What and Why Androgynous??..

In today's day-and-age, as modern Indian women feel the urgent need to be empowered, I feel androgynous fashion (thanks to the masculine elements) is the need of the hour. Besides fusing style and chic glamour  androgynous fashion might also be instrumental in making women feel a little more powerful -- at least psychologically. In fashion terms too, androgynous fashion has been a source of interest and intrigue for ages but today, as society's boundaries change, the androgynous look is in vogue like never before. 

To put it simply, as Indian women become more independent and empowered, androgynous fashion can be the right combination of style, glamour, comfort and need for an archetypal desi female folk. It doesn't require you to put in hours and hours going through your wardrobe and sitting in front of your mirror to hit upon the right look. It's easier to don androgynous look and still you can mix up various elements right from your hair style to your shirt/top, trousers, shoes and almost everything and make it your personal style statement. So the possibilities are just endless. And since it's not very time consuming, it can come in handy for working as well as non-working women. It's the order of the day for all modern-day women.

Judges..

It was a wonderful and an enriching experience. Its nice to see that fashion bloggers in India are finally taken seriously. It feels great to be recognized with such events as Indian fashion blogging scene is still growing and these events are like pat on the back for our little contribution in this big Fashion Cycle.
Here are some other pictures from the Day..

TOP 10 Winter Trends straight from VOGUE INDIA + OOTD

I know it's coming late.. but it's Better late then Never.. I clicked a few pictures before heading out for Woolamrk's Wool Celebration Event last month.. I have incorporated the same with this post.. 

The following Top 10 Winter Trends are straight from VOGUE INDIA.. would try and come-up with more Outfit posts this season inspired these trends.  

Winter is coming -- it may not be a long one, but we're stocking up on the essentials.

1. OVERSIZE

The must-have cocoon coat brings a softness to the season’s silhouettes. All together now -- supersize me!

2. HOLIDAY SWEATERS

From feathers and sequins to brooches, cosy knits go all out with embellishments.

3. KNIT DRESSES

Snuggle up to styles that cover the spectrum from effortlessly casual to supremely sexy.

4. CAPES

Work your flare with flair! There’s something about a cape that spells sophistication. Wear over skinny, not bulky, silhouettes.

5. GLOVES

Make like the ladies of Downton Abbey and embrace the refinement of this retro staple. Don’t settle for boring hues -- opt for buttery camel or striking jewel tones.

6. PURPLE

The colour of royalty is a great complement to the season's Baroque trend. We love plum tones in plush fabrics like velvet and silk for winter soirées.

7. VELVET BACKPACK

Chanel’s luxe take on a schoolgirl classic is sure to spawn endless waiting lists.

8. CIGARETTE PANTS

You’ll be smoking hot in the season’s beautifully fitted trousers.

9. CHECKS

Highland fashion is at its best — plaids, argyles and tartans all play starring roles this winter.

10. QUILTING

It’s no longer limited to your handbag. Introduce quilt to your wardrobe with a leather jacket.

I am wearing :

Oversized knitted sewater : Thrifted

Leather Pants : Forever21

Spiked Loafers: Kins

Leopard Print velvet Back-pack : some store , CP.

The brand has been on the forefront in the e-commerce fashion and lifestyle space and this initiative is a bigger step towards being the best in it.

Each of these influencers have been very carefully chosen from various walks of life and over the years have built a strong connect with Myntra’s chosen target audiences. Kalki’s picks will be highlighted on the website under the “STAR N STYLE” collection. The brand very aptly emulates Kalki’s à la mode, youthfulness and vibrancy. Through this launch, Myntra offers its customers to smarten up their style with stylish inputs from the actress.

Speaking on the launch, Mr. Mukesh Bansal, Founder & CEO – Myntra.com said, “Celebrities, Models, VJs all play a very big role in shaping people's fashion state and style preferences. People take lot of fashion cues from movie stars. We are thrilled that we’re launching our first fashion property with Kalki! Our objective of bringing these youth icons together is to build a strong and a direct brand connect with our customers.”

He added, “There is a distinct synergy in what Kalki wears and what she has chosen. Kalki’s youth appeal and elegance coincide perfectly with the fashion quotient of our exclusive brands. We are convinced that online shoppers will love to wear what Kalki has picked out under Star N Style.”

Trying to look like Kalki is now just a click away. Very carefully chosen clothes that match her current style and look are now available only on Myntra.com! Starting 3^rd August, online shoppers can log on to www.myntra.com/starnstyle and get shopping!

Also, Delhi based Stylist and designer- Ranjunee got some confessionz out of Kalki about her Personal Style, Fashion preferences , shopping prefrences , her take on on-line shopping etc..

Next Morning I woke up with these naturally wavy , messy hair.. To finish the look, just comb the front bangs and use a flat iron to style them ( like I did) and apply some hair Serum ( I applied Moroccan Oil again ) so the hair don't look frizzy or dead..
