Flipkart Fashion For Everyone | Disney Party Looks for Little Girls

We know how Flipkart has introduced us to a social shopping frenzy , with so many features in the app that it has been a weekly custom for fashion addictive bloggers like me to check what's trending in fashion  . Flipkart has a fantastic bustling community of artists/brands and independent designers and is spawning products from so many categories like, jewellery, homeware, apparel etc. which makes it a trending place to spend my money for all my fashion related woes.
Recently I was surprised at how cost effective it was to shop for desirable fashion products whilst there was an ongoing #FlipkartFashionsale .
Staying true to Flipkart's tag line - #fashionforeveryone, and after reading a few more lines down this "postosphere" I would have cleared the air on how fashion is not limited when it comes to shopping from Flipkart.
Currently there is also an exciting contest going on at their brand new fashion website - flipkartfashionforeveryone.com  ,where all you have to do is log on to Instagram and upload a collage of your style from flipkart products and mention #fashionforeveryone in the Caption.
The best entries could win vouchers upto whooping , hell yeah 50k. It could be you, so do it before the time runs out.
As far as my entry goes, here are the two party looks for little girls I created after shopping for these pretty hued evening gowns from flipkart sale.
Any party themed outfit for our little tinkers cannot be complete unless a lot of Princess thing has been done , keeping that aspect in mind, where every little girl , is fantasised by ( previously - Barbie) and currently and in this case precisely Elsa from Frozen. I wish  I could bill Disney at some point of my life, but until then, the sweet hopes doesn't leave me less empowered.

Fur And Party Blazer Guide For Winters | Stalk Buy Love - Part 2

No matter how much I hate dressing up in winters, every other weekend of mine is usually out. Currently if we monitor our Delhi temperatures going as low as 4 Degrees, my hand always reach out for my  my Parka, function before fashion, a prototype that every Delhwala would not fail to demonstrate .
But every women needs a blazer or two for that outdoor barbeque or a nighttime bonfire, even though it doesn't  stand up against the bitter wind chills  well at least they turn the heat up  .
I have had my share of bling and prints before with blazers. But what was missing from my wardrobe was a well structured Black blazer.A perfect Black blazer is a brilliant bet to excite ,quick to throw on and can be easily layered with just anything formal or casual.
This is my second  blazer post with STALK BUY LOVE and if you haven't read the first one you can read that here.
The best part about Black blazers is that it can immediately change the tone of your outfit making it adapt to the situation you are in. Infact every women should be a proud owner of a tasteful black blazer in her closet. If you are clueless on the fit and what options you should bargain for, start with a plain , then maybe add variation in style like, double collar, double breasted, double lining etc.
I love the outlined hems, chaste yet, structured peplum edges of this one, and since the outside temperatures demanded that I layer up, hence very convincingly I also added this snug over the shoulders fur cape to add a bit of glamour in a flip .
The beautiful bracelet sent by Rhea Jewellery aligned nicely to create a spice like look with those green feathers and golden charms.
If you have been meandering in circles, and totally clueless on how to take your blazers through winters, I do hope that my Blazer Editions take that dilema off  and help you tiptoe through the tulips of  colour and glamour , so that a stylish transition to winter evenings gives you all a chance to build a solid and stylish blazer wardrobe  .

THE DENIM TRENCH COAT

The Winter Blazer Guide with Stalk Buy Love - Part 1

Am trying to think how many blazers I have ?  To start with , my first coat was burgundy  and then came the black, and white . For years, and for a person who did not come from a fashion background, and worked a 9-5 shift, I did not feel the need to add more blazers in my wardrobe, coz fashion wasn't a weekly thing,and it wasn't a challenge to wear blazers back then. We kept them for fairly conservative space like meetings, formal events , and there were better staples in life to fill our storage than the need to invest in blazers.

Until the late 19th century, women preferred to wear cape style coats . Mink blazers were the first out of the league that represented the wearer from luxury Clan.

Back then fashion still demanded that clothing to be worn as per occasion, and growing number of working women, needed blazers that could be worn to office, which particularly led to development of a few basic styles, that are relevant even today. For eg. the classic trench, the double breasted and the suit jacket etc.
After the World War II Haute Couture aimed at bringing revolutionary styles in blazers, and the coat's length followed the length of the dresses and skirts, hence they became really short (source wikipedia)
Today's women doesn't fail to experiment. Talk about online awareness,the ladies are drawn to thrilling collision of trends and the blazer has gone beyond the boundaries of corporate rooms and power suits. 
If you are one of those who don't think blazers from a fashion point of view,  pause and have an afterthought about places you can take this versatile garment to. A lot of our A-list celebrities are turning heads and declaring fashion moments after moments with blazers. From Red carpet, to airports, to fifth avenue and from Capes, to Shearlings to pleated and even lab style , Blazers have been spotted endlessly around the globe , and the inspiration is plenty.
What's even more innovative is that our Indian designers have revamped the whole blazer notion and left us in a moment of Aww ....when they sent a few models running down the runway wearing blazers with Sarees ? Its official and clearly Blazer cannot give you a Faux Pas moment even if you wound up working from home . 
Today I have teamed up with Stalk Buy Love , to show you how I wore a blazer to a girl's brunch on one foggy Sunday morning. This is Part 1 of my blazer edition for winters, and Part 2 is on its way,just to show you girls how a blazer can uplift any outfit ,be it jeans or even a wintery dress.
I have a soft spot for colour blocking, and today I brought these two colours from the same colour wheel into one outfit, teamed with the blazer in Christmas Red and these deep burgundy Dungarees, all from Stalk Buy Love.These burgundy oxfords also brought in the flavour and a sense of occasion beyond the humble over the knee socks into garnering a fun and flirty Outdoorsiness casual vibe. 
So ladies, If you haven't placed your faith in blazer till now to to take you around for a plenty of occasions, it's time that you do so now even if it means stealing that checkered oversize coat from your boyfriend's closet, or donning  a solid party blazer over that dress.

Layered Burgundy Waterfall Women Coat

Are you too warm to be cold ? Or Are you too cold to be warm ? Have you done a good blazer investment for this year or the intermittent cold days, can get  you away wearing just the leather motto jackets ?  And what about our parkas and overcoats ? Will they see light this season  so that we can say , yeah man I am done and dusted with these ? Or are they still taking up our closet space waiting to be picked ? A big question mark  ain't it ???? 

Cutting all the above crap, what I  meant to say was - "WHERE ARE THE WINTERS "  

I ordered my new coat from She.in and one foggy morning the little baby in me, beamed thinking - "What a perfect cold morning to bring out this pretty burgundy waterfall overcoat ."
BAM, I went, called my main behind the camera lens, and fixed up for a shoot thinking no Sun, so lets begin the fun . With a snail's speed, I started to play my dress up game, taking all the time in the world, peeking outside my bedroom window often, and thinking a huge coat and sweater times ahead. The baby was happy indeed.

Got dressed, put on my makeup, said a little prayer, slipped my legged feet into these mules , added a bulky scarf, tried the beanie, but it messed my hair, changed my mind and trotted about feeling good in the weight thinking about my sartorial sophistication.

Reached the spot, the sky got a bit clearer, and I could see a tiny speck of light peeking right onto my face. See how exposed a few of my pics are ?

Within minutes, the sun was right on my face,and totally sun-baked came out my first layer -  The scarf.

I felt like taking my coat off too, but then  that's what the whole post is about . To show you my frenzied fashion pairing with these ripped leggings, and exploring all fashion probabilities in what I call a very Universal weather . 

I love the colour and fit of the coat. Got it at an unbelievable price from the website . Totally worth the money, and a great style too. I was gratified dressing up for Pseudo winters, at least got my coat out for a day, but what about the rest of the beautiful stuff I have ?

Hope that the changing weather algorithms shift for a bit so that my next post has a more complaining tone of how bone chilling cold it is. 

Whoever said women are complicated , must have done his research well !!

Review : Asus Zenfone2 Laser | Best Smartphone in budget

I have been blogging for a fair bit now, and as a fashion blogger, it is very important for me to take great photos always, and for this purpose exactly you must all agree that having a handy phone with a good camera with perfect resolution and added features is all I would ever want to keep the blogging journey on.
Asus Zenfone 2 ,launched many variants just last year (major focus on the camera functions ) I had covered the whole event Here.

I have never been a user of Android , and was already looking for a spare phone in a  budget range in this segment. Totally wowed by the price, it's a great phone to invest in your money today especially if you are a blogger. I love posting random entries on Instagram , snippets from what I wore to what I am eating and for a camera phone Asus Zenfone2 laser takes great photos.
The phone has a 13mp autofocus rear camera with a dual tone LED Flash  and a 5MP  front camera. The best part about the phone is (as the name says ) it comes with a laser assisted autofocus which helps take sharper focus on the subject.

What I like most about Asus Zenfone 2Laser 

The Camera Speed - The camera speed is real  quick and as Asus claims of its zero shutter lag capability,  Yes it sure does live up to that !!

Shutter At the Back - The  key like shutter at the rear of the phone , enables to take an anti shake image by letting me press from the index finger. So no more shaken images.
The design also works as a volume key .

The Best Selfie editing features - You  can literally go bonkers exploring the photo enhancing and filter accessing capabilities this phone has. No more third party apps to do the work for you. I always wanted a phone to come with built in photo editing features , filters, beauty mode, etc for selfie enhancements and this grants me everything. Plus the selfie angle is approx 140 degree, and  I love how we can adjust the colour tones of the selfie in the camera itself.

Manual Mode - This is the feature I love the most. Pretty much what we find in dslr's . Checked a few images in this mode .The aperture gets as low as f-2.0 and offers a great depth of field too for sharper focusing. Also has autofocus (so don't worry if u are just aiming at point and shoot option )

Selfie mode :Besides the manual setting mode, what I love most is the selfie settings parameters .
There is a beautification mode,  selfie video in slo motion mode, time lapse , and GIF animation. Never seen so many features of smartphone camera placed in this budget offering.

#TravelDiaries | Ahmedabad | Bhuj | Rann OF Kutch | Mandvi Beach Gujarat

These pics were taken last month when we took a smallzy break to Ahmedabad , Bhuj and Rann of Kutch. 

Gujarat had never been on my list of destinations to travel, but somehow the white Shallow Marsh Land of Kutch had always been a fancy and our famous bollywood flick -"Highway" did play a little role for me to consider giving this place a travel shot .  

Although there is nothing much to do about in the city, except shopping at bargain prices for authentic handwork gujarati garments , (Must check out Law Garden) dined at Rajwadu  and fished out a few more restaurants that serve original Gujarati food . The food is pretty decent everywhere and a special mention to team Dominos , which really suck in Ahmedabad with their unexpected lousy service, especially the one next door to Novotel ( where we stayed)  The food comes cold and after almost an hour(hello 30 mins or free slogan?)

We also took a day trip to visit The World Heritage site - Sun temple and Rani ki Vav  (6 hrs by road to and fro)

Bhuj is interesting in terms of sightseeing too. Must check out Aina Mahal in Bhuj City . Built in gothic style, the palace survived 2001 Bhuj earthquake, and the cracks in the palace weep this horrified tale.

Our second last destination was the Tent city at Rann of Kutch a.k.a-  White Desert . Good ambience,lot of activities and the best Sunrise ever. The shopping is pretty expensive as compared to Bhuj, and since the artisans travelled from Bhuj to sell the same stuff at 3x the price, I decided to give it a skip, and leave that exercise for my return touch point via Bhuj.

The tent experience was not overwhelming, but that's the best our destination had to offer. Shot a look in the middle of the desert while the winds blew at 100kmph ( exaggeration).  Photos didn't turn out the way I expected, hence need to redo the entire look once again (cry face)

The last leg of my destination included Mandvi Beach resort. Another overrated destination, and similar tent style set up. The tents smelled awful with the only plus point of being on the beach, which was practically deserted. In the history of my travel in so many years, probably this was the only place which made me miss home so much. Seriously I couldn't wait to reach home all the time and almost blew off my top with the agent who booked us there . What was he thinking ? 

I shopped from another website this time which is Zaful. Ordered another piece from them which is a total trash. I can almost use it to clean the house. As much as I love this look, and the style, of this maxi  I feel totally annoyed when websites fail to check quality control. If a brand is passionate about what they make , it shows. Why would they want me to wear a crappy product on the blog and make me look bad in front of my readers among other things ?

Anyways guys, sorry for my rant, seems like I have had a lot of unpleasant experiences last month, so I just want to get done with it in one single post and move ahead.

This post was supposed to go live yesterday. Sorry for the delay. 

Sharing a few snippets from my travel too. 

 Wish everyone A Sweet Sixteen. Happy Holidays :)
