OOTD : Burgundy Dress

For the longest time in the past year, I’ve been wanting a plain and simple burgundy dress. And I finally found one! To give the outfit more character, I added a statement necklace and neutral colours so that the colour could be loud.                     Dress : Spring Break | Blazer : Mango | Bag : Mango | Shoes : H&M | Belt : Thrifted Necklace : Accessorize | Bracelets : ASOS and gifted | Ring : Miss Selfridge Lips : Mac Fast Play | Nails : Illamasqua Viridian 1.

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...

OOTD : Pantone Green Outfit

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...

I’m really into chunky glitter polishes this month! I had to stop myself from making an all-polish wishlist! Oh well, these are some of the things that caught my eye.     01. Nails Inc : Sprinkles Sweets Way Isn’t it just lovely? It’s a pastel base polish with light blue and pink glitter. *goes to glitter heaven*   02.

Pleather Chic Outfit

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...

Dark Florals Outfit

Dark Florals Outfit

Contrast colours like red and green go well together when there’s a darker colour to merge them. Here I’m pairing a simple dark floral dress when bright coloured accessories. Share your combinations for summer!             01. I love this floral swing dress. I like wearing it with jeggings because it’s a tad bit short and sways a lot. From Miss Selfridge 02. The green pendant looks antique. It was a gift from a very dear friend of mine. It’s very bold and I think it goes well with this. 03. The cotton mix shopper bag is really old. But it has such a cute bunny on the outer pocket! It’s very roomy. Vintage 04. Strappy...

It’s getting more humid in Pune and at times like these, I like to apply as minimal make up as I can. Blush and eye makeup comes to the rescue here! Here’s my wishlist for the month.     01. Topshop : Studded multi colour tunic cover up I love the gradient colours here. I’m very careful with the studded trend as I don’t want to go overboard with it. This one looks effortless and soft.   02. Just Acces : Wild choker in gunmetal As opposed to silver or gold, I prefer gunmetal, charcoal and rose gold. I think these chokers really add a lot to the outfit. Just Acces is a brand available at asos. I don’t like the very thick ones. This one seems just...

Stella by Stella McCartney I smelled this at the airport once and it was heavenly. I ended up buying Elie Saab but I’ve been wanting this as well.   03. Robert Clergerie mint strapped wedges I’m completely into wedges lately. I wear them all the time. These are adorable!   04. Revlon Colorburst lipgloss in Papaya I’m late on the orange trend as I found it a bit scary but this is a very good colour to try out! I need to be bolder with my lip gloss colours than my...

Spring Flare Outfit

Spring Flare Outfit

Spring is all about bringing out the bold and bright pieces from your closet together. Choose one statement piece and co-ordinate the rest with it. Try to not go for matchy matchy stuff. A simple belt always lifts the class of a outfit and makes it chic.         01. This simple cotton vest is comfortable for hot summers. It’s a pretty pastel yellow that fits well. From Westside. 02. I’m in love with this skirt! Its a bright blue-purple shade with pinks and greens. Its a nice skater shape which flatters long legs. Skirt from H&M. 03. The gold belt is really old but it always adds a nice touch to any outfit. Twist up the end in a knot for a different...

Beach Perfect Outfit

Beach Perfect Outfit

I know people picture shorts and tank tops with beaches but I prefer light dresses and comfy aviators. Paired with wedges, it gives you comfort as well. I decided to pair a bright strapless dress with floral wedges. Very springy and full of colour. The accessories are classic and clean. That way, the outfit isn’t overkill.             1. Dress – Emerald green and electric blue dress from Forever New. 2. Navy floral espadrille’s from New Look. 3. Gold frame and brown aviators from River Island. 4. Crochet and bead bag....

I’ve been eyeing so many things this month that its hard to just narrow it down to 5. But this is also a way to keep my shopaholic tendencies in check. No more than 5! I wish my salary kept up with the spending budget! Woes shall be discussed later, on to the wishlist! 01: I’ve been wanting to try Tarte’s Amazonian Clay. I always have sheer blushes, I dont like the in your face bring ones. For spring, dollface is perfect! 02: I’ve been trying to get Ruby Woo for a long time. Each time I visit the Mac store in my city, its sold out!  Its a lovely blue based red and I’m terrified of trying the bright orangey ones. This is the perfect red for me. 03: For the...
