OOTD : Burgundy Dress

Wishlist : March 2013

I’m back with a wishlist after two months now. There just wasn’t anything significant I wanted in the last two months. Plus, I was trying to curb the temptation to shop. Best to cease with the wishlists then!     01. Brian Atwood : Aida : Multicolour suede pump Way to start off the new year with a purely wishful product! Ridiculously expensive? Yes. Will I ever buy it? Probably not. But it’s so freaking gorgeous. I love the colours and the shape.   02. Diptyque : Candle : Baines I’ve been wanting these for so long and I finally found a store in India that sells them, MoonRiver. Will I buy it? I hope they have a discount soon. The current price...

Fall 2013 RTW : Tibi, Ostwald Helgason and Calla

Despite being fall, these collections have a perfect descendence from fall to autumn to spring. Calla’s collection was a breath of fresh air while Tibi maintained it’s reign in the functional department. Tibi With turtlenecks, layering and modern silhouettes, Tibi’s collection encompasses everything you need for fall. From the warmer autumns to the coldest winters. I love the quilted two tone biker like jackets and the bright green and blue dresses with a cape like top. The knit and sheer dress with the grey stripes is brilliant as well. Tibi is  a truly wearable and functional collection that looses none of its...

Mango.com Haul and Shopping Review

Mango.com Haul and Shopping Review

I recently hauled form Mango.com and I thought I’d share my experience with you! I was actually going through majorbrands.com but they didn’t have everything I wanted in stock so I looked to the main website. What I Hauled  I got a mint green top a sheer top panel. A beige rectangular mini satchel bag. A black suede-like pump with rose gold metal on the toe. MANGO.COM So you get free delivery to India if you purchase more than Rs. 6500 otherwise you have to pay Rs.790 (approximately) for shipping. Why so much? Because they ship it from Spain! I had no idea! I only realised it when they sent me a DHL tracking number, which intrigued me and saw the origin was Barcelona. Still,...

OOTD : Pantone Green Outfit

When I saw Mulberry’s Alexis bag in watermelon, the colour struck me and since then, I’ve always wanted something in that shade. To my surprise green jeans became trendy! I think this outfit is a great way to start wearing bright coloured jeans. Tying in the sheer shirt gives it a bit of lightness as well.                   Shirt : Zara | Jeans : Miss Selfridge | Bag : Miss Selfridge | Shoes : Dorothy Perkins    1. If you’re starting out, I find that it’s easier to wear bright coloured jeans, pair it with a white or black top. 2.  Wear an accessory in a complimenting colour to give the outfit a well rounded...

Wishlist : December 2012

Merry Christmas! And there’s my christmas wishlist! I studied in a convent and would christmas at home and in school, much to the disappointment of my orthodox grandmother. But to my 10 year old mind, any festival with gifts was a worthy one.       01. Asos : Jacket : dark red peplum jacket with embellishment It looks so classy and very festive as well! I’m in love with that colour. I’m warming up to the peplum trend. This is perhaps a good one to jump into it.   02. Narciso Rodriques : Perfume : For her I smelled this at Parcos recently and loved it. It’s so rich and enticing.   03. Guerlain : Make Up Palette : Lui eye and lip palette I...

Plum is the colour of the season for me. I’m looking for  a good plum polish as well!     01. Vero Moda : Luliana Sequin Top I’m looking for a full sequin top. black is too common and I’m not willing to venture too far from my comfort zone with a full on blingy one. This colour seems perfect.   02. Nars : Tinted Moisturiser in St. Mortiz I’ve heard a lot of good things about this. I already have a couple to use so I won’t be buying this anytime soon.   03. Miss Selfridge : Plum Lace Babydoll dress Such a gorgeous dress! I like that it’s not fully in lace, makes a nice change.   04. Origins : Make a Difference Plus +...

While August is the month for sales and shopping, September is the month to take a step back and do some window shopping! Here’s what I’ve been eyeing lately.     01.

Pleather Chic Outfit

Hello! I often find myself wearing pastel sheer blouses and skinny jeans. Adding pleather leggings just makes the look more edgy whilst still maintaining the classy casual look. Top : Zara | Leggings : Primark | Shoes : H&M | Bracelet : Vero Moda | Purse : Benetton 01. I love the mint colour. It’s very on trend and it incorporates the Peter pan collar really well. I would buy dozens of these if they came in more variety. From Zara 02. If its really windy and rainy, pleather leggings might be a comfortable option. Wearing these over cotton gives the outfit a two tone multi texture look. Did I mention how comfortable these are? From Primark 03. Keeping tan shoes keeps the...
