Thin End Of The Wedge: Sandals For Summer

Summer shoes are essential for those glorious sunny days when it gets hot and sweaty and your feet need to breathe a little. They might not have arrived just yet, but we live in hope, so it’s worth preparing your summer wardrobe now, just in case.

The ultimate summer footwear and symbol of great weather is the flip-flop. Footwear doesn’t get any more relaxed than this. They’re great for those relaxed days when you dress down, or when you’re going to the beach or park to hang out with your friends.

Of course, not every day is a flip-flop day. Luckily, there are some alternatives to flip-flops that work with more formal attire. Chief among them is the sandal. These can still keep a casual feel, but sandals can work as more formal and dress shoes as well.

If you are really trying to glam it up for the night, then wedge sandals work for that too. A wedge, when worn with a maxi dress or even some evening dresses, is a great alternative to heels, especially if you are on holiday.

Wedges boost your height by making your legs seem longer and giving you that extra edge of glamour for a night out. They also allow you to keep your toes cool if the temperatures start to soar.  

There are many different sizes and styles of wedge, from huge stack wedge heels to more subtle lifts the type you choose will depend on your personal style and comfort. This summer, patterns and bold colours are really in, so wedges will make the perfect accompaniment to a bold summer dress. Simple footwear like this will accentuate the bright dress or skirt and provide a contrast that works well too.

Also, because they are sandals, they should also be relatively inexpensive, making them perfect shoes to compliment some of your summer outfits. And great for taking on those holidays where you don’t know what you might end up doing. Pack a pair of wedge sandals, some flip flops and a pair of canvas trainers and you should have all the summer bases covered for your holiday.

They will also hopefully be your fall back shoes for the whole summer, should the sun eventually come out and play. And if it doesn’t, you’ll still get plenty of use out of them on your holiday to justify your purchase. Not that you really need to justify anything, of course.

TAG: DIY Jewellery Part 1 and Sale Alert..!!

I did a DIY almost a year ago when I got a Silver Chain from Forever21 that says.."PEACE". I painted the "PEACE" part of the Chain with a #Coral Nail color.. ( YES..You all know how big this color was last Season *__*)
When recently I realised My most favourite #Forever21 Chain that says,"ELECTRIC" ..is turning dark..(From Golden to Bronze..) I realised I need to fix it.. So I just sat down for another #DIY .. I painted the "ELECTRIC" part of the chain with #NEON-PINK Nail color..   LIKE THIS..

You'll need 1.) A Nail Paint 2.) A Chain / Necklace that needs a makeover..

Paint the portion carefully with the Nail Paint Brush..

(L)"HOPE Chain was done last year..so its kinda dull now.. I might redo it now..with another color..(R) "ELECTRIC" Chain is freshly done..and has a golden chain.. 

Currently wearing..!! My "ELECTRIC" Chain..

High on Cocktail..!! #OOTD

Okay.. so I am breaking in between the OOTD's from Rajasthan Fashion Week because I couldn't wait to Post this one any long..I have been thinking of doing, Celebrity Look Inspired Post.. and this post is my First attempt.. I am actually Nervous and Excited.. *__*

Since the time I saw ''Deepika Padukone'' in the Promos of Movie,'' Cocktail''..I wanted to do a"Steal Her Style" post.. and This Post is INSPIRED by "Deepika Padukne's" New look from the same movie..

P.s.- I am wearing absolutely NO MAKEUP ( just a tinch of peach lip balm) in case I am looking Drained or Sick :p I Blame it on the Delhi Heat .. 

To get Her Messy Hair Look.. I tied up my semi dried hair  into a Choti ( braid )over night, after the head-wash and I applied the Magic hair Portion Called "Moroccan Oil" on my hair, before tying them..
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..

To those.. who haven't noticed.. I am just wearing one earring.. :p

These are My favourite Neon Green Chappals( flipflops) from Catwalk.. Grabbed them a year ago ..while was in Bombay..

The Tassel Chain is a #DIY that I did few days back..

Blouse - Thirfted ( last worn HERE )

Palazzo Pants - Thrifted

Footwear - Catwalk

The whole feeling was so BOLLYWOOD :p with hair and clothes flowing with the Wind.. !! I am actually trying to Hold my Tank Top in the picture below..

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.. *__*

After a Long Time..# Surprise #OOTD

Last few weeks have been hectic and busy.. so much that I didn't even post a single outfit post on the Blog. Have so many outfit post pictures waiting in the USB.. But I am still figuring out the way the be regular on my Blogging and College assignments.. With First year Of my M.Sc. In Fashion and Technology ending soon , I have a gazillion submission deadlines and a College Fashion Show(which is by the way, delayed by a month..!! disappointing much.. I know !!..) .

Alright..!! So , The purpose of posting this outfit post before the ones shot much , much before is..  the New Hair Makeover.. YES!! I have COLORED MY HAIR.."LIGHT BROWN" like finally..!! and still adjusting to them.. Some people say.. I am totally #Nuts to have done that.. and some can't stop raving about how #Good they look.. Some say..'' Baal kharaab ho jayengee" and some real friends are like" Ganjii ho jayegii.." (that means..I'll go Bald ;p ) . But I know, I take really good care of them .. like Oil them without fail before head wash.. Use a shampoo that's mild on hair.. use Natural Products as much as possible.., Keep myself Hydrated.Though I am still struggling with sleep.but I am sure it'll all be fine once I am done with exams *__*
