Tales from The Kutch | India Fashion week street style

Today you would find some quirk along with sophistication which is a not a new phenomena if you follow my blog, plus there is one person I would love to introduce you all to.

Meet Dolna from Hungary. I met her on Instagram, and our bond grew from there on. From occasional chatting to regularly discussing fashion , we were both amazed by each others styles and what our cultures were bringing together as a whole in this digital world of fashion. That's what I meant by quirk + sophistication ( up, up , up ) 

Dolna did a recent feature on me on a 7 days 7 looks theme, which I think is really awesome and you all must read here.

Dolnas Blog Silksofine talks about beauty, lifestyle and personal stories and a little bit of her travels, and she really posts beautful photos from all things that interests her and she finds from her journeys.

Here is what she has to say about herself :

Hi I am Dolna .I am a Hungarian, living in Germany, blogging in english. The blog has a weird history, it started as a marketing tool corporate website for an upcoming online store (thats still in picture btw) but along the journey it took an unexpected direction and started to have its own life and became a personal style blog. So now while collecting infos about brands and learning the e-commerce industry I enjoy the creativity of styling. :)

Todays look is a flavour a mix of fashion and cultures, and I thought it would be really great if I get to the heart of what's contemporary, mixing it up with Dolna's style for this post.
India fashion week starts in exactly few hours , hence I decided to do a major throwback post to what I wore last year. My sleek austerity in a little, okay , but a bit extensive Indian Kitsch with glam look, which also came at an expense of lightness and ease having just the Lauren mix of fashion pace with grace.
Chunked up some silver antique jewellery down my throat, okay not literally down the throat,but adorned around the throat, a single hoop in one year, giving a sense of energy to the ootd, while knowing how to stay on the track,at the same time moving ahead.
Hope you like our feature. Follow Dolna  if you like to be engulfed around a positive fashion person and her classy style full of stellar fashion inspirations.
Follow me on Instagram to stay updated on all the fun we are having a AIFWSS17. 
You can also say Hi on snapchat btw  -(thefashionflite)
See you super soon :)

Stepping Into The world of Larimar Jewellery and Flower Child

I did something out of my comfort zone . I am not a florals on my head kind of a girl. Tiaras set me up on a sneeze spree, and I tried to stay away from them as much I could from very long. 

On the contrary, I love playing with headgears. They let me display the un-mundane and the enchanted. 

It's my first time doing Hippie- De-Luxe on the blog, and the only inspiration to do something like this are these beautiful Larimar Bracelets studded with Turquoise Larimar Stones- ( also known as the Jewel of Atlantis,)  crafted in sterling silver and sent by Daniela  straight from Dominican Republic. They just effortlessly make the whole combo so relevant and that's what I love for my Jewellery to have. 

I always wanted to dose this floaty dress in graphics with a pairing of something floral, and since the word BOHO has become the most intolerant word on social media (pun ..pun ..Pls) it's time to BOHOCIDE and bring out pretty prairie elements from the look which knocks Boho for a while. 

Anyways throngs of yesterdays new borns on Instagram would be enough to give you boho inspiration, and all you gotta look out for is a hashtag and be enraptured to see the number of levels boho has been taken to. Can  I pass that tissue box now ? 

Coming to Larimar Jewellery, did you know about Larimar Healing ? I was intrigued to know that the stone has metaphysical properties with a tenfold energy which heals physical, mental and spiritual being of the wearer. 

There is no doubt on the impeccable craftsmanship and distinctive design of the Larimar Cuffs which they sent, and which I accented side by side. The stylish non fussy design lets me achieve a luxurious elegance along with a perfect balance of natural Larimar stone with the strength of  sterling silver metal. 

I not only created one but two looks while his one  being an exquisite day transitioning to an  evening look and there is one more coming soon. 

This outfit is also an ode and an attempt to revive and bring back the memories and romance of those warm spring days. The turquoise stone beautifully reflects vintage elements but in a chic and modern avatar which is not only light rather fuss free .

Definitely you must check out their website, and I guarantee that you would fall in love with all Larimar Jewellery and their signature designs which are cool and moving with an unparalleled sophistication cannot be described in words alone.

Let me know in the comments if your heart beats faster and if the jewellery arrests your interest as much as it hooked mine.

Talk to you soon 

xoxo

Tee Game Strong

For my  Christmas look, get me some funky tees, so that I can hop on the boat of expressing myself in modern fashion, in all kind of frippery to roll out most of the onlookers who could be breathing on air of discipline {(of course not on the floor laughing ,( seriously some people do that ?? ) }
This season get me a good leather jacket for my persuasive endeavours to look like I am all set for grunge . Also get me some statement jewellery to match on to look the part.
Get me leather boots,counterpointing dark lips so that it looks like that the force is with me.

It'S cold and all sort of  layers have been shaping my wardrobe. The force awakens and fashion has beckoned the zeitgeist and the beanie is about to be embraced.Of course these pics were shot way before, when we knew a little about the sunlight too. And as I fill in the rest of the space,I can clearly see my windows fogging, and hubby switching the heating devices, and the steam from my cup of green tea is settling on my laptop screen.
Its time when my palms would need a little rubbing, already started to feel the numbness on my hands , and before I laze around and postpone this post to be published tomorrow, let me just hope that Santa showers whatever you need this year to complete your style circle and that you stay merry all throughout the coming party season and make the most of whatever is left of 2015.

** MERRY CHRISTMAS ** 

P.S- The tee is from thesouledstore.com . They have some more snazzy tees and other accessories up for grabs which totally fits every girl with a budget .Check out their merry one liner t-shirts and other cool stuff .Link below.

Romantic Make-up and Day Look For Valentine Feat. India Circus

The Countdown to  "Be my Valentine" has just about started . Besides being the "Love Month" February is also the month , when most of us say " I Do", coz its the month of weddings too. As a couple, I love a mushy mushy push to this day, by fate coz we are celebrating 10 years of marriage as well, just a day before V day, and to begin with, he has already got something crazy for me, which you can lay your drool worthy eyes on ,through my Instagram feed :)
Talking of ways to flaunt the best outfit for the day(previous post here) I am certainly having a bent towards everything blush and pink these days,And if you don't remember,let me remind you that I am wearing the same dress over this year for my Valentines week. The previous post being This !! See !! I think there is a sub-conscious mind-meld happening or could be the ricochets  of my previous Valentine karma, that is making me  bounce back and grab the same dress, and wear it differently. Plus I wanted the focus to be my New glasses(which u can shop), so safe to say, I spinned the rest masterfully to create a style similarity yet in a different concoction. So if you haven't seen a soft , romantic, feminine side of me on the blog , Read- "Valentines made me do it " well then lets , say Hello, until we meet again !!
This look couldn't be complete, without adding this quirky Zing Sling bag via India Circus. I love it, its still being a lot like me, and just what I wanted to go with the neutrals.  This bag makes up for a great idea to gift her something out of the box, Lets one break from the status quo and would light up her eyes too..  Coz lets say it, Its delicate, brownie score for a great print, and point on quality.

Two Things to keep in Mind for your Valentine Outfit | Gifts

We are back talking about the month of love, and the markets and shops have already started filling up with pretty colors and designs and everything red which has hearts, and we are racking our minds, making a list of thoughtful gifts.
While many of us are still caught up in the hype, I feel, there is no harm in celebrating  when the world's throwing a chance at us . Ideally, everyday of our lives should be celebrated, but many women look forward to a day where they could switch it up a bit, and get dressed ,looking all fancy. So for all those of you ,to whom , it means a lot, let me not sour you more on love, and lets talk about all the good things that comes with this day. Red is the color of  valentine n blah blah blah , but trust me, when the whole world would be bleeding red and pink, you could stand out by wearing something purple or yellow or maybe blue. So how about a great colored midi skirt, a cropped blouse or a jacket and nicely done up hair, for a Midas touch ?
Midi skirts exudes elegance and modern warmth, especially in all the happy colors. I love this sunshine Yellow color, and for this year, I am calling it my color for the Valentine. Also I love how these snazzy oversize Blue reflectors gives a final touch, setting the mood just right. These modern pieces not only make up, as some interesting  Valentine gifts, which are light on pocket, but  are also well-intentioned, if your other half is a fashion monster !
If you are going to spend money this Valentine days, better make it good and make space for personal memories to grow, Even if its on some in-expensive jewelry, or a dress or a book, or a special self cooked meal, as long as it doesn't cost you an arm or leg, while still kicking up the notch a bit higher than last year !

Parkas And Winter Shopping

We haven't had much sunshine these past weeks, which means only one thing - Snug,Heavy duty jackets, parkas, all spiraling  up , and its but obvious that they become my favorite winter Armour. The beauty of a basic winter piece is that, once you've got a good one, it should last you a couple of years, and its obvious that we want it to be either a black or white (u know how we love our classics).

The sale season is on, and if there is a best time to bag these offers, is right now, especially when you can use Coupons too to get the further slash of price, on stuff which is already at bonkers amount, not to forget the fresh arrivals for spring/summer, I call it the best of both world's, especially when one cannot be labeled as sounding greedy/cheap- (A street or a thrift shop experience, where we always have to beg to bargain )

I think the time of the year has come , where I can put my golden rules for negotiations to rest and just log on to see what could be my best bargain on stocking up a my winter basics for next year, and browse through a complete list of e-stores  and seize sizable discounts.

Its been a few months , I did my heavy duty shopping, and the coming week is gonna be all about that, you know, when my shopping frenzy goes more feverish, specially when the discounts seems pretty much desirable ! 

So come on tell me, are you sale season shopper too ? Or just regular Couponing seems to suffice all the year round ?

Men Are From Mars Women Are From Venus

I discovered these couple tees in Bangkok. They had some lovely crack me ups for a couple, and I had a notorious look on my face there and then. Clearly, I knew I was driving hubs to do this and of course my little eye candy too.
Its usually the case in relationships too, and mine is no different, so why not morph into one and wear the same tees ,but in a little out of the box style and show a bit fashion focused affection ? Though the pics may not convey the affection that effectively, but what it conveys here is the story of every married couples ? Although it took me a lot of cajoling with him to wear this tee , as it is a public acceptance of  Men are always wrong and a bigger acceptance that wives are always right. In the event we got a sandwich of a confused daughter, who would eventually have to find her own answers.
So, If you see us wearing this outdoors then maybe we are feeling a bit high strung and also we don't mind giving a little fashion based Biased lovey dovey display of Opposites attract  coz we love it when that gives the world a chance to chuckle at us on this Double outfit dose.
So whether you are a loved up couple or a not so loved up ones,I don't even know whether this is a new wave of trend as yet , but what I know as in now is that giving a shot at some craziness is Right Now in Trend " coz after all "The couple who dress together stays together"
P.S: Feel free to caption the photos :)

Rock Studs And Mickey Mouse Print | Delhi - Street Style

In case you missed the bombardment on my IG feed about the Cosmo/max event, then this blog post could be for you. I wore this outfit to the Cosmopolitan and Max Fashion Icon Delhi Finale which was held at The Kila, Delhi.It was my first time visiting this place, and I assumed it would be freezing as the fashion show should be outdoors, and I was right. Well It's rewarding if one trust their Gut and that just saved me too from freezing in outdoors as I picked up this Wool sweater to wear.I was in a mood to emancipate the Rock Chic Glam avatar that day, and added a spike cuff to match along the Studs(diy) on my shoulder.I picked up these cute mickey print pants from Bangkok on my last trip,but couldn't find them ever in the unending chaos of my closet clutter.Later I saw them hanging when I was looking out for something else and this outfit happened.Besides unleashing the Rock chic archetype, we had a lil fun shooting these photos too ! I wiped out a whole box of rum chocolates before leaving . Hubs says it reflected in the pics ? Unshackled much ??  Do you think so too ?

WHYS of Fashion Blogging

Blogging in a way has taught me a lot ! Things which otherwise, I would have taken a decade to understand. From the start up days where I got caught up with technology handicap(I still am btw) to a time where its really hard to keep the standard of all the work and maintain it to a level . I never had a specific goal to begin with,other than making it a personal fashion blog Nor had a big revenue generating strategy ! Writing a post really allows me to sit and finish off a complete thought,go off on tangents address real and Imaginary critics- Yes I have had my share of  haters  losers who care to leave anonymous comments, be it spam, non- constructive criticism and crappy stuff (but the funny thing is that its actually not anonymous when we can track the IP address down --evil grin )For people like these - I just waste 5 sec of mine before hitting trash,at the same time feeling pathetic for their childish thought, and eat up the whole thing with a chuckle, and let it slide off ( ) I am pretty sure that I am not alone on this..
Its not that we are not open to healthy criticism and that I blog to get attention(though good comments/feedback is always welcome) What I am trying to say is that I am adapting myself to fashion trends, and suiting up my Armour to  engage with readers ! Blogging is actually getting into the meat and potatoes of individual talent, its my personal freedom to expose my  likes,n ideas which inspire me,or in simpler words a platform to discuss things we have in common ! Having said that everyone has a right to disapprove,and if you do, there are other means to communicate the same rather than to pigeon hole things and waste non- constructive thoughts on someones space who has no time for any shit and giggles- THAT'S WhY !
