CHAMKILA LEHENGA

-The lehenga trend just got more blingy.

The wedding season is near and you are on a hunt for that 'perfect'  outfit for the day.

Deciding a Wedding outfit is a constant banter in my head about whether to wear this outfit or just leave it out. Because probably then I would have found the outfit too blingy or too extravagant for the occasion. Besides the outfit, there is makeup which you ought to get on point.

Considering the above conundrums, I picked up this certain outfit that fits correctly into the occasion.

This particular lehenga which I refer to as 'the chamkila lehenga'  is one of my personal favorites.

The outfit embodies a dark green blouse with a velvety touch that imparts an ornate yet subtle look to it. The fuscia pink net dupatta maintains the delicate look of the outfit.

The sunny yellow colour lehenga has colourful attached latkans to it adding to the style quotient of my outfit.

The one thing which makes this outfit stand out among other ones is the colour play which renders a perfect blend of flirty look.

Also the golden border to the lehenga with the golden blingy stilletos fills up the extravagant appeal.

I blended  the light brown and golden shade of eye shadow (Maybelline nudes) and i am wearing Lakme 9 to 5 series pink colour lipstick to go with the lehenga.

I chose to wear these golden earrings with an intricate pattern.

 You can also team the outfit up with a delicate  bracelet or you can also revamp your look by wearing silver bangles which will add an interesting touch to your outfit.

So go ahead and flaunt the new you!

Let the shaadi season begin. 

WEEKEND GETAWAY

Weekend getaways tend to be very spontaneous leading to an equally impromptu outfit. After all that’s what a getaway is. Right?

Inspite of that, there are  few handy hacks and outfits which can never go wrong for such endeavours.

Ready to take a look?

My recent and much needed getaway was to this beautiful town of Mahabalipuram situated near the southern tip of the Indian map.

I chose to embark my journey from the shore temple situated near the serene beach.

The temple has an intricate architecture and design which left me completely mesmerized. I was definitely tempted to get my picture clicked here.

The town makes you time travel to a place usually found in the pages of a history textbook.

Since you are going to a new place for exploring, make sure that you wear the right outfit. And by right outfit I mean a comfortable one.

Also since Mahabalipuram is a beachy  place, I chose to go with my favourite pair of these red Puma shoes. These shoes are the best choice to be worn as a part of a comfortable outfit.

I wore my red checks shirt on these dark blue denim shorts. Denim shorts are perfect for beaches and a check shirt renders a chic yet sexy look to your casual demeanour.

I bought this shirt from fashion street in Mumbai. It’s pocket friendly and stylish both at the same time.

The shirt can be tied up in a knot from below like I have done in the above picture. You can team your outfit with a really cool tattoo choker or an anklet .

Besides,these cute blue sneakers increase the fashion quotient of my outfit too.

Also I chose to drop my makeup kit and go bare faced because the sweat and heat can make your face look all messy .But I did take my Lakme sun protection cream along to avoid any skin damage.

Remember that to enjoy a trip you need to be comfortable with what you are wearing. It’s better to go with your instincts and know what will be your comfy choice.

Since the weekend is round the corner why don’t you start deciding your weekend getaway outfit rightaway?

And yeah don’t forget to share your travel and fashion experiences with me.

After all we all take the memories as souvenirs before the journey is adjourned!

See you later folks.

With love,

MERCI BEAUCOUP

-The high collar and side slits are back and how?

Certainly the concept of high neck collar has evolved  over the years in the world of fashion.

High collars grant a scorching look and instantly raise the style bar of your outfit.

All you need to know is how to team it up and carry it on.

I came across this really snappy grey colour top which says “Merci Beaucoup” ,with a sexy slit on the sides. What I like about this particular top is the high neck collar along with a high low pattern.

The pattern offers a stylish yet funky look .

Team it up with light coloured shorts and white shoes  and you are all ready to make a statement.

I chose to go with light blue shorts which possess a beautiful stitched pattern on both the sides.

The outfit is perfect for a day out. The brownie point to this outfit is that it’s totally comfortable .

You can absolutely wear it without any hassles.

For any outfit to stand out , it’s necessary to accessorize it correctly.

Not too much yet not too less.

I wore these metallic earrings to highlight the outfit even more.

Hair can be put up in a bun too to give this outfit a catchy look.

Endow a white watch to the outfit or if you choose to drop the earrings then you can wear a delicate metallic bracelet to go with it.

Remember, trends come and trends go but what remains is your uniqueness.

With any style it’s very essential to carry yourself with confidence and grace.

Try to be different with every outfit and you might end up having your own boutique of trends.

Go now and unveil the new you.

Merci Beaucoup :)

INDIAN FUSION

-INDIAN COUTURE GETS A WESTERN TOUCH.

Indian couture has evolved over the past few years and today it is making a statement in the world of fashion.

When we think about ethnic wear,we usually imagine an attire with heavy embroidery or sequin studded dresses adorned with heavy colors. But now, Indian couture is not just limited to the old traditional methodologies,rather it’s blooming with the touch of western elements too.

The consequence of this fusion has given birth to new styles and designs for many known designers around the globe.

Nupur Harwani’s label EnEch brings out this fusion perfectly blending in style,embroidery and colors in just the right amounts.

So are you ready to take a look?

This particular Oxford Blue gown which I am wearing is an absolute delight.It’s perfect to be worn at any occasion as it has a western touch to it which endows it a more casual yet trendy look.

The outfit can be teamed up with a pair of block heels with a contrasting  colour to offer an edgy look.Also if you prefer to go the traditional way,then you can team it up with pretty and colourful kolhapuris.

I preferred to go with a pair of white block heels with beige straps which inclines the outfit  towards a leisure wear  look.

Also to go the ethnic way,team it up with a pair of pom-pom jhumkas which are economical and easily available in the market .They give the outfit a totally new and pretty look.I have worn them myself and the best part about these jhumkas is that once you team them up with the outfit you needn’t accessorize yourself anymore.

For such fusionwear outfits try to keep the makeup minimal and go with darker shades of Pink.

Fuscia Pink would do a perfect job of lending a bold look.Keep your hair open or you can even try a side parting.

You can team up this outfit with a casual long jacket too or if you aren’t wearing heavy jhumkas,then you can just put on a cuffed bracelet which would give it a very delicate look.

So go ahead and paint the world with your charm.Don’t be hesitant to be different,for who knows maybe your new outfit can start a revolution?Right?

You can buy these amazing Lakme products from the link mentioned at the end of the blog.

GO CASUAL WITH FORMALS

After reading the title you must be thinking how is it possible to go casual with formals?

Well it is!

Yes,you heard me right.The first step to be different yet stylish is to say bye-bye to the old rules.

You can always team up your formal outfit with casual shoes.

I chose to go with my skechers with this formal outfit.I have teamed up my shirt with a formal black skirt.You can even go with a pencil skirt or formal pants of your own choice.

Make sure that the shoes you are choosing don't end up looking tacky or else your outfit can loose its formal look and charm.

You can always accesorize your outfit with a vintage watch or nerdy glasses to get a sexy look.

So put your best shoes on and get ready to dazzle.
