OOTD POST: Summer Love

My last OOTD was sort of an experiment, rather random. But, when I decided to shoot the second one with my photographer friend, Jay, it had to be better than the previous one.

This outfit styling post portrays my love for summer. Yes, I love Summer, I love the sound of it.. from flowers to colors, clothes to lemonades, practically everything it offers, except for the drying heat. It leaves me dehydrated. But lets concentrate on the positives ONLY and take a look at the pictures *__*

About the outfit: I styled this Forever21 string dress in facebook blue color with tan and coral, one of my favorite combinations. The coral lady bag is from Zara and the footwear is from D&A, Delhi ( last seen here), necklace from Zara and rings and bracelets are from Blur and Forever21, all in gold. I am wearing aviators from MacV, Mumbai.

Makeup is neutral and understated, keeping in mind the weather and outfit. I love gold, you'll always find gold dominating my accessories. This bag and necklace are my most treasured possessions from Zara and these block heels in tan and coral are the most comfortable pair of heels I own. This is my perfect no hassle summer look, a basic summer dress, a sling bag, comfortable footwear, not too many accessories, a great pair of sunnies and you are good to go. Rose water spritzer from Forest essentials, sunscreen with SPF40 from Clinique, water and these aviators sunnies are my favorite summer staples. What are your summer staples? do share with us!

I'll be back soon with another interesting post :)

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.

This is not another fashion post, but I am sure a lot of you would relate, so though of sharing..
lately, I have been majorly focusing on interesting insights on Indian and Global fashion scene on the blog. This got me thinking that it's the best time take a U-turn, back to the real essence of the blog because I miss sharing my personal fashion posts/OOTDs, tips and tricks from my closet, so here I am..

For all the young girls their mothers are their first fashion-icon, I have preached my mom growing-up for her amazing sense of personal style and fashion choices. And I also believe that mom's closet is the best rescue when in doubt. I always go back to my mom's closet each time there is a family wedding or a traditional affair. She is a typical Sikhni and prefers traditional salwar-kameez over a sari, but that changed recently. People who have been following this blog from it's initial days know how I raid my mom's closet for her traditional outfits.(Read Here)

Recently, when I had to attend a couple of weddings, I went back to her closet and picked her saris this time. I obviously got new blouses designed in my size and styled it according to my personal style aesthetics.

Hope this post was helpful! Next time in doubt, raid your mom's closet. I am sure you'll find something to your rescue :)

Khloe Kardashian-Sonakshi Sinha, twins??

When recently I came across Khloe Kardashian's picture from Elton John's Oscar party, I couldn't ignore her uncanny resemblance with our very own Bollywood starlet, Sonakshi Sinha.

Sonakshi Sinha in a Nikhil Thampi dress for Koffe with Karan..

Those of you, who have watched Sonakshi on the infamous chat show, Koffee with Karan, would remember her oxblood Nikhil Thampi dress and Khloe here is wearing a similar velvet Marc Bouwer dress. It's hard to pass the similarities in both the looks( and the ladies), from old Hollywood side-swept curls to the plunging neckline with a wrap bodice and color; they could easily be mistaken as twins.. Not to forget, not very long ago, both the ladies were written off on tabloids by  Fashion police and various critics for their unconventionally tall and fuller-curvy bodies. Must say, their dedication and hard-work paid off well, they look stunning and we cannot get enough of these ladies, and their
glamorous appearances. Here is to many, many such more <3

Kanye West and Arvind Kejriwal have a LOT in common..??

What's with these two men and their love for scarf? 

Think winters are over, time to pack your scarfs? You better reconsider it.. I am going to tell you why..

We Indians are well aware of our capital's ex-CM, Arvind Kejriwal, who took the nation by storm  after establishing AAP in November 2012, and his love affair with scarf ( muffler), this particular look became a rage among the AAM AADMI of the county, making a fashion statement and how! Recently, I came across a news report about Kanye West, that how he has been covering(hiding) his face from paparazzi, by wrapping a scarf around. I couldn't help but notice how similar these two are. Both are Celebutants in their own rights.

Both the men, making a MAJOR fashion statement with their face covered in scarf, have a lot more in common that you think

• Apart from sporting a scarf around their necks/around their face, these two are popularly addressed as Media W$%^&S( I am not saying that)
• Media loves them and they love media. Media has made them whatever they are today.
• They are both active on social media and have more followers on twitter then many of their other counterparts. 
• These two have been living their immediate life mostly in public( for respective reasons). 
• You'll find paparazzi chasing them to glory. 
• These are two very powerful and passionate men. 

Do NOT consider this one as a serious post and neither am a Fan nor I am a supporter.
