Printed Outerwear
Amazon India Fashion Week  
Street Style India | Delhi

Hemant And Nandita's  Bold and daring Outerwear was breathtaking. Ticking off one of the key trends to look forward to( printed jackets) this Autumn Winter. Hemant and Nandita brought some wild leaves and thick intertwined branches to the collection.
Printed trenches, sophisticated embroideries, brushed wool and jacquard fabrics in deep reds, and earthy tones, were the highlights.
 The silhouettes were kept romantic, and neckline plunged into V, the shoulders were droopy yet relaxed totally true to the enchantress spirit.
The Lace-up sandals synced well with all the looks and embraced the darkness of the forest. We all Reminisced little bit of  Autumn with the  colour of the trees and leaves well depicted on the clothes.

Anarkali Suit - Fiercely Indian in Red

It's been a while since I posted an outfit on Indian wear. You know me and my be-holdence to Mix-O-Logy with outfits, coz I believe there is fashion for everyone in India, and there isn't any colour, style, or mix that shouldn't be left to uncover. It's my devotion to wild prints and offbeat styles that sets my blog on a different bar, and I know the cult which loves me doing that, and I love you too for the same.

Today's look is from a recent #AlterEgo campaign which I did earlier last month with Indian designer Sonal Jain.

If there is any colour that lets you work your wardrobe with ease, is RED. You can actually rationalize your closet space by stocking colours like red, black and white .  This red is electrifying classy, and it gave me a lot of inventory to play with my beautiful baubles too. They are pretty and exactly practical and are now available to shop from right (here).

If you feel Red is too bright for that kind of occasion , or places you need lesser drama, you can tone it down in a flash by adding neutral makeup , just make sure you have a lot of eye-work to play with.

I love the intricate golden embroidery details on this piece.Don't miss the stunner back , and the floral dupatta, which makes it totally cool, up and running for a great contrast. Added a bindi to my styling prowess. It's slowly becoming my signature style, and I love to punctuate my assemble  with these and add a bonus point whenever possible . 

Hope this look lets you gear up somewhat for the coming festive season.  Don't forget to Let me know if you like this post ;) Any future recommendations are welcome too.

Happy Mother's Day

Had been wanting to do a post like this from so long. Also it puts an end to all the queasy looks people give when I disclose that I have a daughter . Really ? How big ? Man I never knew that, tilting their heads in angles which I am discovering just about recently. Clearly I don't fit the stereotype of how a mother looks like.As of now we can say that I am blessed to have happy genes. 

My Mom(Resting in Heaven), had hair like mine(which of course y'all love) My friends say that I smile like her, and my daughter has her eyes. She was a fashionista too in her  own classic days. A school teacher by profession, with me as her most intolerant student. She loved her Sari's and had one in every color, ----colors, that now we find only in Pantone. I secretly used to put on her bindis,just before going out to play with my friends. A few made fun, until I thought it was getting too much, and confined Bindi dressing to my bedroom later. She loved Bindis too. 

When I grew up, and started exploring make-up, and bought some too  after my first job paid me well, I had never seen anyone so enthusiastic about putting on makeup than her.She told her friends, "My daughter has the best make-up skills." I used to blushingly pinch her and always brushed my elbows with hers, telling her to stop publicly displaying my knack. I was shy. She was too, and my daughter just alike.

Mom was too young when cancer hit her. With all the adversities that came along, symptoms, and hair loss, it was me who still loved brushing my makeup on to her to hide her afflicted look. I saw her age into a seventy year old when she was in her forties. Wish could have made her look young. But my knowledge was limited and so were the developments in skin care.

Ever wished that you could turn back the time ? Every Mother's day I wish the same-Just once. But you know what - If she was here today to witness your surprising glares on my motherhood, I am pretty damn sure about her display of verbal gymnastics to her friends- Yes - My daughter looks the best in her time.

#AIFW Ashima -Leena collection had a gypsy vibe to it. The garments were neatly layered n overlapped. The fabric used is soft , satin with crimpled fabric been used in Palazzos to get the look n feel of the tribal style in full force.  The hues  of crimson and sunset red blend effortlessly with color blocked Black n Ivory in a mesmerizing Jamewar Pattern.
