Blocked Layering

 'Fashion is art and you are the canvas.' Such a powerful saying. Fashion truly is a platform, seamlessly fusing into a template you wish to create. Experimenting, therefore, is a by-product and if anything, this post is all about fusion.

Colour blocking has been the 'it' trend for quite a while now. What I have incorporated as a different element in the look is light summer layering along with colour blocking. I picked out this blue sleeveless top and plaid shirt coat from Clovia. I would have easily spent close to an hour zeroing in the looks, simply because there was so much I loved. 

My previous post on Clovia was more about casual summer dressing. This time around, I decided on creating a more well-defined, sharp look. Blue is my weakness when it comes to clothes and I couldn't wait to style the top. Whats striking about the top is the zipper details, giving it a slight edge. I decided on colour blocking it with a oxblood pencil skirt and layered it with the plaid coat; and it might be one of the most comfortable items I have ever donned. It's an ideal wear for those days when you need a day-to-night look. Killer heels were an absolute must to sum up the look. 

Let me know how you style a day-to-night look, in the comments below.

I shall soon see you with a new look.

Until next time, lovely readers!

Revisiting the 70's

I have always adored the vibe that comes with summer. What's even more fun about summer styling is the retro appeal that you can infuse into any outfit, bringing together a chilled-out 70's vibe.

This eye-catching flare/bell sleeve top from Clovia pretty much has retro written all over it. For those of you being introduced to the brand for the first time, Clovia is an online portal dealing, majorly, in lingerie that aims at redefining the purpose of intimate wear while they are at it. Log onto their website and you'll find beautifully designed lingerie for every category and every occasion.

Bell sleeves are quintessentially a fashion piece of the 70's era and there has been a huge comeback lately. I'v always loved georgette for some reason and while browsing through Clovia's website, I absolutely doted the flare of the sleeves and the tiny polka dots that encrusted the entire top. While you cannot tell, I'm wearing a racer back from Clovia's collection of sport lingerie. The accurate fit and vibrant colours are truly what make Clovia stand out. Because I set out to create the retro vibe, I paired the top with white shorts and round sunglasses. 

I love to hear what you have to say, so let me know what's your retro style, in the comments below.

Until next time!

Bollywood Dreams

There have been countless encounters when I'm watching a movie and tend to fall for it all; the outfits, the glamour quotient or simply; how put together the stars look. I was always of the opinion that the array of apparels used in any movie are pretty much a distant clothing item, not very practical to be seen hanging in my closet.

However, BollyWoo seemed to instantaneously scram off those doubts of mine. It is a brand dealing in copyrighted movie clothing that makes you 'Feel like a Star'. I decided on going with this exquisite Plumb Jumpsuit from the movie Dil Dhadkne Do that was embodied by Priyanka Chopra, simply because I couldn't get enough of that movie.

I have written an exclusive article for BollyWoo in which I talk all about my experience with the amazing brand and a tad bit about my love for Bollywood. You can read about my experience 'here'.

Let me know how you liked the Bollywood look in the comments below.

I will soon see you with another post.

Until next time, lovelies!

Weekend Conundrums

With the commencement of summer break, there are quite a few gatherings to attend almost every weekend. Additionally, when it comes to dressing up for those weekends, it's a task to find such pieces that blend in with the easy going vibe without going OTT.

I love how this cut-out dress from Oranje acts as a complete savior. It can get arduous to sit down and pick out the outfit with the correct balance of casual yet edgy. The dress has details to fall for and what's more, the cut-out facet gives a modish demeanor to it.

When it comes to day outs, a handbag can sure come in as handy. With a humongous amount of things to carry from your cell phone to various touch-up makeup products, a sizable bag at your disposal can be quite convenient. This bag from Anqi is perfect for those times. The most striking feature of the bag is its expert craftsmanship and the lace details. So if you're looking for those sturdy built bags, you know where to look.

I decided on keeping the accessories at a minimum. The black cherry dress from Oranje and the tan bag from Anqi fell seamlessly, ensuring conformity while they were at it. Finished my look with a coral lip and I was good to go.

With this post, we come to the end of the #bloggerofthemonth series for Oranje. Always a pleasure to collaborate with brands that stand to induce more than just chic clothing. So, choose what you wear with Oranje.

But fret not, I shall soon be back with another post. Till then, let me know what you think of this one in the comments below.

Until next time, lovely people!

Timeless Classic

During times of picking new outfits, I often tend to digress towards more of party clothing(guilty-as-charged) and by-pass the casual section of the store. However, I get to using them occasionally and in the end, casuals seem to get the better of me.

Talking about casuals, a classic white shirt can pretty much be the bridge to switch from business to travel or casual. I love how a white shirt never fails to elevate any outfit, whether worn under a suit or jacket or on its own. And I'd have to agree, there's no such thing as too many.

This shirt from Oranje's latest collection left me with an ensemble which had the perfect mix of style, comfort and edge. The most striking aspect of the shirt had to be the zipper details, embossed beautifully into its making. I decided on creating a street style look with the most quintessential  pairing of all time - the classic white shirt put together with denims.

Let me know how you're beating the heat and what is your summer classic?

Until next time, lovelies!

Synchronization

The past few weeks seem to have literally blown by in a flicker. With the work load rising, I have been caught up in quite a few things. But hey, whats there to complain when you love what you do? There's a lot that is lined up and I'm pretty excited to bring it all to you. 

I recently discovered Desi Urban - and instantly took to their casual vibe with an inclination towards Indian patterns. Stacked at pocket friendly prices, the brand aims at an amalgamation of chic and rustic trends. I received this dress in an envelope that read 'Your not so secret weapon'. And rightly so. 

In this look, I'v resorted to a minimalist approach. The intricate detailing of the dress is highly appealing as it synchronizes easily, making it effortless to style. Decided on styling the look with cat eyed glasses and a gold choker. 

Go find yourself a chic outfit from Desi Urban's collection here.

Hope you enjoyed this look as much as I enjoyed it creating for you.

Until next time, lovelies!

Flounce

I have been a city girl for as long as I can remember. There is something truly beguiling about the way the thrilling hustle and accelerated pace pushes you to move further. Having said that, however,  once in a while its imperative to find serenity in what you do and entangle from the daily convolutions that seem to tag along. That's the vibe I sought to create in this post. 

Off-shoulders have created quite a buzz for a while now and they're here to stay for the long haul, the trend not disappearing anytime soon. Being a component of the 'Blogger of the Month' series, this particular black off-shoulder from Oranje's collection had me falling for it before it even arrived.

More often than not, we experience those days before a big night where we'd opt for a rather chic find of a dress, black being the palette most of the times.This off-shoulder dress is unquestionably ideal for such events that call for sudden occasions that require a pinch of sophistication. The whole flounce finish of the dress acted as double brownie points, enough to make you happily twirl in it. I amped up the outfit with statement pumps and rose studs to bring about a chic facet to the look. 

Let me know in the comments below how you liked this look and I shall see you soon with a new post.

Until then, keep hustling!
