OOTD Post: Cape Town

I shot for this outfit post back in April, then I had very little idea that I'll post it now. But rite now seems the apt time to share this. It's not winter yet and in Delhi it gets chilly in the evening and my mornings don't start till I get my bed tea. Yes, Delhi is slowly opening it's arms to welcome winters.. And I couldn't be more happy because it's my favourite season of all.. Love love love this weather.. There is something happy and romantic about it. Festivity and joy in the air.. Everything appears more beautiful and dressing-up is so much fun. Not to forget, skin becomes clear and better and it's the best time to rock the red pout, even during the day! 

Capes, leather jackets and scarfs are the best add ons during this time of the season. Just throw them over your summer clothes and you are sorted! It just makes your summer wardrobe more stylish and workable even for this weather.

What I am wearing: The cape, that I am wearing over a white tank is from a Delhi based designer, Sonia Verma. You can view her facebook page for more info about her and lastest collection, etc.,. Here.. I paired the cape with ONLY jeggings, Pavers England gold flats, bag form Pieces accessories, rings from Curio Cottage and  Vintage silver and ruby earrings. I finished the look with Ruby Woo by MAC, I call it 'my slutty red'..

I'll be back soon you lovely people😘

October favourites: beauty and fashion

Just like last month favourites, this post too is going to be simple and to the point. Unlike my real life self, I talk less on the blog..This is new and trust me, it's going to change very soon( that means more blogging.. Yay!! ) 

So, here goes the list of my favourite products from the month of October;some new favourites and few old. Let's see what made to my October's Favourite list: 

1) Hot & Smooth by L'oréal Paris: This product is from L'oréal's Studio Line does an amazing job in protecting your mane from heat and keeps them frizz free and polished, till you wash it out. Just spray it over the area you'd like to style what a hot tool, make sure you spread it well with your fingers and let it air dry own its own or blow dry. And your mane is ready for styling! 

2) Back-combing Brush from Clair's: I was introduced to this magic wand by a hair stylist while getting ready for bloggers meet. I absolutely loved the result. So, when I came across this one while shopping, I couldn't resist it. It is great to section, back-comb and set hair. I mostly use it while ironing my bangs. Isn't the fact that it's a neon pink comb makes it more gorgeous?? 

3) IKONIC Mini Pro: another neon item from hair care favs. It's a travel friendly mini straightening iron. Best to tame those stubborn baby hair and bangs. I also use it define my naturally curly hair, as it adds more polish and finish to my curly mane. 

4) Nail varnishes: I have been loving matte nails this season and have been a little experimental with my choice of nail colours. So, like everyone, I am also loving Vampy nails for Fall. These two shades aren't exactly what you can call, Vamp. But I I have had these dark colours on my nails for over a month now. (From L-R: Rival de Loop in the shade -Berlin-, O.P.I Matte Top Coat, Estée Lauder in the color E1 Black Iris) 

5) Forrest Essentials Lip Scrub in Cane Sugar: this mysterious products works it's magic like no other. Best bed time companion for this Fall/Winter. I take a tiny bit on the tip of my finger and rub it till the small scrubbing particles are absorbed. Then I dab my lips with a tissue and mostly I just let it be and fall asleep with it on my lips. Love love love this stuff!! 

6) Sephora Sculpting Disk: 

This is soon going to replace my Urbandecay's flushed palette from my makeup bag. I cannot travel without this one. I picked it last month from Sephora, Delhi and since then I have been loving it. It has a bronzer, a mattifiying powder ( which is translucent) and a highlighter with pink undertone( use it as a blush or to highlight). I like multipurpose products like this one. One palette and I am sorted. 

7) Clinique Chubby Stick in 04 Megan Melon: best tinted lip balm to keep your lips hydrated and flushed at the same time. This is a peach colour with earthy undertone and sheen. 

8) Soap & Glory The Righteous Butter: I bought this in a gift pack, with other miniature size products from the same range, from Sephora, Delhi. I have been using this on and off, but it's the only body butter I am using this season. I love how it smells and the fact that the fragrance lingers on your body for long.. Absolutely moisturising! 

9) MAC Studio Finish Concealer in NC35: this one is a new product in my makeup bag. I was uncertain to buy this product, but when I saw this on my face, the result was amazing. 

10) Forever21 Tote in Blue: this bag is my absolute favourite fashion favourite rite now. It has a small pouch cum sling bag inside and the shape and the feel is so Luxurious. It's a perfect Fendi dupe and was not at all heavy on my pocket. 

In the picture above it's me and my munchkin, Pupul from the blog : Chic Saga. I know it's not the best picture of my bag, but this is the one I had with me rite now and I was too lazy to click another one. 😛 

I'll be back soon you lovely people😘

September Favorites' 2014

Hello people!! I know it's a real long time and no words can describe the feeling of how I have missed writing here.. No promises of being regular this time, because I want to try and break my own poor record. Anyway, let's not go there. ( hides her face behind the cushion)

Today, I wanted  to share with ya'll my favorite products from last month. The ones that I loved and I'm continuing to use this month as well.. There you go..

 1. Kiehl's Micro-Blur Skin Perfector

All the hype about this magic portion is right. Worth every penny and true to its name. loved this product throughout the month and still loving it. Works great solo, for that no-makeup look and works as a great primer too. I love dual purpose products and this is one such product. It fits my travel pouch and daily makeup bag easily.It's my can't leave the house without product. I say, Yay!! what is your review??

2. EOS Lip-Balm Honeydew

Hands-down.. One of the best lip balms I have ever used. The taste is so addictive.. I end up licking my own lips :p Keeps my lips well hydrated and moisturized. Thumbs up!!

3. MOROCCAN OIL

I LOVE this product and that's all that I have to say !!

4. THE BODY SHOP's Tea Tree Flawless BB Cream 

It's a new launch in the tea tree range from The Body Shop, so I had to, had to, had to try this.. :p I bought this during mid of September and I have been pretty much wearing it for all my outings and errands. The first impression review is kinda good, and I am sure a lotta you might differ, but I kinda liked it so far. It's my my-skin-but-better product. 

5. Diffuser

Those of you who don't know what a Diffuser is, it's an attachment used with hairdryers attached on the nozzle ( for more details please google). It's perfect to tame curly hair; enhances curls and keeps them frizz free. I am wearing my hair curly from a long time now and this is the best thing ever happened to my curls.

6.  VICTORIA'S SECRET Bombshell The Summer Edition'12

This has been my go to fragrance for summers, from last 2 seasons and I am still going back to this. 

7.  CARLTON LONDON Slippers 

The best thing that happened to fashion, this season.. Hands-down!! These giant slippers from Carlton London kept my feet comfy and shoe-bite free last month. It goes with out saying that I am also wearing them rite now *__^ love love love them!

So, these were few of my favorites from the month of September. If you want to know anything more about these^ then you can drop a comment, tweet or mail.

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 :)

Let me know your feed back about the posts by posting your experience/pictures with the same hash-tag #likemotherlikedaughter
