The Sari Chronicles By Satomi | IndianWear

Subtly and gracefully like butterflies fluttering out of black cocoons I tend to embrace an orgy of colours and patterns like never before.

There are some outfits which just naturally sharpen the habitual elegance , tipped with brightness so vivid, that it catches the fancy of everyone around. 

Recently I came across Satomi, an exclusive Indian Wear women clothing brand who bring colours and prints to this dull monsoon like never before. Their approach to this world of digitalized prints brings a feeling of verdant nature embedded in every Sari, giving life as if you are a part of an overindulgent feast. It's not easy for a brand to catch my eye unless some diversity is offered trying to do something different ,even the technique matters here because everyday is a struggle for style bloggers to give a deeper dimension to the  individual style and much variety to the fashion informed audience. Because people tend to get bored. Forget them, even I tend to get bored,and need a shift from the chic cult to something more varied and endearing. 

This Sari has that romantic simplicity which take simple print into a world beyond ordinary.  It weaves the ethnic into an urban presentation fit for an urban setting and the versatility of being right as a perfect dress for the cocktail night . I wore it for one of the days at the India Couture week  (the centre point of inspiration for our big fat Indian wedding) 

The outfit so much added up to the sense of fashion madness already vibing the venue and soon it became the talk of the evening. Blue lips and the print of the Sari were the real converters of great conversations for the night and girls stopped me everywhere to take photos. 

I love it when the garments give an appealing look with still and small voice of calm. Blazed against the rich green gardens of Hotel Taj Palace Delhi , it gave a very refreshing summer spirit to the look. I almost looked like a walking Graffiti for a minute , Bewildering the staff one blue lip at a time, which was actually appalling coz it took their preying eyes a while to figure out what was happening as I was busy having my paparazzi moment throwing away my Pallu ,cocooning my shoulders with all my might up in the air in some photos, well not to mention my passionate natural aura of potential fails. Haha. I wish we could capture their open mouthed expressions until their senior came and announced time out.

Besides the Sari I hope the complimenting jewellery and this choker which I DIY'ed myself (coughs***) have also gagged your attention? Your thoughts in the comments make my day.

Oh BTW I am in Shanghai this week . Follow me on Snapchat (user id- thefashionflite ) coz you have freakin no inkling idea of the heavenly shopping I am gonna take you through . Wait and Watch !!!

OOTD In Fort Pachewargarh | A Heritage Destination Wedding Resort In Rajasthan

Getting a waistcoat in a trendy colour, with signature blend of cotton and silk had been on my wishlist. I thought it would let me Up my trick of layering and keep me in the business of s---layering, mastering the style first, and then letting you show the endless ways to wear a waistcoat starting now, through this little window you open up on your laptops or phones every week to check my blog . 

Although this post should mark or tick its own waistcoat styling series , which I never want to stop , considering my love for lighter and less serious ways to dress up, but that would be too much of a homework for me while there are a lot of projects I am working on for you guys and cannot wait to show you. 

Talking of guys , if you are a guy reading this post with a passive interest in waistcoats, hold on, don't just be in a hurry to close this window, I have a beautiful heritage resort near Jaipur, which I want to talk about and show, and exactly where we shot these pics. Loving it yet ? No ? Maybe ?

Be a smartie  and drive down six hours from Delhi or one and half hours from Jaipur city,to Fort Pachewargarh and picture yourself spending some fun time with your loved ones.

Amidst an authentic village there it is- your best getaway resorts near Delhi along the Pampasagar Lake,this 450year old Fort is a photographers paradise,resplendent with Jharokhas, Chhatris, Cenotaphs,Canon mounts,rifle slots, and so much more that one is immediately transported to the bygone era of Maharajas and Maharanis(evident in the resort's Khaas Mahal). 

Taking a cue from the rich history of the Fort, I decided to dress the part, in nothing less than a garment which could make me feel equally antiquated and royal, and blend with the timeless heritage, with a tiny thought little less than the urge to get married again in one of the best royal wedding resort in Rajasthan .

I wore a simple waistcoat over an all white look, which was made to measure and sent with love by Aki from Gulaal Creations , and definitely one of the few brands to keep your eye on. 

Gulaal as the name itself rings a bell, has everything to with everything Indian or Desi as Aki says. 

The Indian silhouettes, fabrics and prints of all her garments are not only appealing but resonates with my aesthetics for promoting Indian designers who deserve a bigger platform to be featured. There is an air of Luxe and crispness to her collection, which is not only well stitched but lends an extraordinary fit.

I didn't carry diamonds and rubies and expensive jewellery, to clad all onto myself , and pretend as if I am a wandering spirit, arisen from one of the luxurious suites of the fort, rather chose to layer some inexpensive trinkets, while staring at one of the pictures of the queen who definitely whispered more is more silently in my ear.

Have a look at the pictures, The  heritage Fort, the extravagant Gulaal Creations waistcoat and don't forget to show some love to all ;)

Happiness Boutique Statement Earrings and Red Sheer Skirt

Today I have collaborated with Happiness Boutique to tell you how high my Happiness quotient is right now . Happiness Boutique is an online store based in Berlin Germany and have some pretty high quality,lustworthy accessories and They offer free shipping too ;)

I had been stalking them from a long time, and when they approached me to collaborate I jumped.

These black tassel thread earrings have beautiful detailing , and looks damn expensive. In fact they lent out a very enriching feel to my outfit. I have another pair from them in crystal , which I am gonna wear soon.

For the outfit part- Ya'll know that I have my own brand under the name LabelTFF. It has been moving about with a little turtle pace as of now, but doing not so bad either. I don't stock a lot of piece as of now, but soon , you would see me full fledged diving into my creations.

My head to knee look is from the latest stock. Had to show you the beautiful tulip  hem detailing of this cotton silk blouse. Its straight , simple and yet luxe. Don't miss the kaftan sleeves with the same cut, perfect for  toning down with blingy outfits.

The skirt is a beautiful red (more like a Mac ruby woo red, which I am also wearing on my lips currently), with a sexy twisted hemline, and shimmery underlining, which in a subtle way adds extra elegance to the piece. Just a few statement pieces here and there can add up to the fashion fire .

There is a super cute Happiness video produced by them, delivering the essence of the boutique and how they strived to make everyone happy and cheerful. You have to check out this infectious happiness spreading  video by them. I bet you could start dancing as well.

Lookbook | Resort Wear with Clarks MyShoeDiaries- II

This is the second look, I built around these Clarks shoes for #myshoediaries contest . The good part about the day was that after wrapping up with the photographs, I get to jump in the massive pool which was the only thing you need to come to fruition after a sweaty day. I was expecting this. The resort and the poolside spa provided for a leisured existence, and that is what I let that encapsulate in this outfit.

An ideal resort wear is a gamut of cool , and fluid and very mainstream maxis and kaftan styles which are easy to fit in and pack. I broke the stereotype here a bit and explored a whole new crop of trends for 2015, and went more realistic.

I wanted to get in a clean, simple yet polished look, and the extra room in the short pants (culottes ) which surprisingly float in the wind, have movement and are as good as a maxis had me game to the style. Paired this earthy green color with my kaftan style blouse which is destined to become my new uniform , matched some luxe jewelry with the shoes, and came with a bona-fide fashion look. In a way I found a new fabulous way to nod to the 70s in a most dreamy nonchalant resort wear dressup which looks flamboyant at the same time. Its almost like I literally fell into this outfit, coz I couldn't wait to have my evening doze of tea and snacks sitting by the poolside. 

Indian Fusion Styles That You should Try

After the India Couture week, rolled up, where my eyes could not wander beyond current trends,and how our Indian designers didn't leave variations behind in their creations, and gave us a lot to experiment and food to digest,  I picked up Inspirations, from where they left.
We are blending trends like never before,and there are transformations of style over fashion-Read Street Styles ! I have been drawn to wearing lots of neutrals, and whites,this summer season, and it was then my eyes fell on this Kurta dress by Fab India. I was in the trial room, wearing these same slip-ons, and felt that they could effortlessly help me create a concocted style, which I had so long in mind. Later after much of searching and hunting around the racks, I found this cotton midi skirt too, in the fabric that always set my monsoon mood and I was ready to deliver any indo-fusion "Mien" !
Stacking Jewelry Pieces is a great idea , especially if you are experimenting with Indian Jewels as they Scintillate a heavy duty fashion Armour . I used elements of Kundan, in this Maharani style 3-tiered necklace, and then added the beaded balls necklace to get to a modern version of Indian Wear staples.
The back had some elaborate Latkans, which not only brought my opulent fantasies to fruition, but pretty much made me stand out, amongst the great sea of Accessories !

Get The Perfect Party look

If you have been following my blog , u would know by now that I am not really a jeans Kinda girl ! 
I grew up in an old fashioned way, days when jeans were looser fitting so when the trend hit to skinny jeans , I always looked good in them but felt a bit  odd about something, which till date I can't figure out yet ! I stick out to them during winter because It's too cold for something else for me. But as soon as I come home,I take them off right away and slip in my yoga pants. While talking on this preference note, I never do this with my dresses or skirts or shorts. I don't want to rid off them as soon as I hit home :) Guess that explains me being partial to them as a whole !
Let's hear what your style is ? Jeans over a dress or dress over Jeans ?

Another news is that Thefashionflite has collaborated with Zahna jewelery. The designs are captivating, and all of them are hand-crafted. Zahna Jewelery is exclusively available for sale on my blog, and would soon be available on Etsy.com.You would see more glimpses of the collection in my future posts too.

I am back after the celebration week,and that too with an outfit post ! Had a crazy Diwali and ate lot of mitahi's and massed a little inches as well,but that's how festivals are supposed to be celebrated ! Although I am feeling a little off base and guilty since I am always my own motivator, but with all the  sweet distractions which I  say that I very easily and knowingly gave into ,have left me feeling so hung up! Saying no to every delicacies  requires a little bit of willpower fuel, and once you spend that fuel(over so many months) it becomes harder to say no. Also have you heard of the Special- The No S diet program by Reinhard Engels,n ? If not then here are the basic rules,or in other words the commonsense approach to it - No Sweets, No Sugar and No seconds(helpings). follow them over the weekdays and break them on days that start with S -Saturdays, Sundays and Special days ! Now this sounds interesting ? Definitely worth trying out for a month ! And in-case you have too heard of this program or benefited from it,do share your experience in the comments section below !
As for the outfit,I love the color of this blouse and the sleeves are just too medieval ! Layered a few necklaces,brought up the bling factor and just rock n rolled for a date out !

I can be crazy at times....really crazy !
