Playsuit and Intutive Customization-| feat TALONS D'OR

Gleaming with delight on a hot sweaty day, from a land of molten lava, and air as warm as that smoked sizzler, let me tell you, I had to put up with lot to shoot this look. Partly its not everyday that I wear Red, and partly, I had to show off my new shoes, which were customised to every tiny detail for me to Careen around the streets owning my style like the whole city is my runway. 

Also its not everyday that you come across brands like TALONS D'OR, and when you do, you pay attention. The whole intent of this look was to ooze of  kitsch femininity, but the heat suddenly jolts you out of that catwalk stupor making you feel like a character from Xander Cage 2013 movie-Riddick ( trust me Delhi was sizzling at 46 degrees during May)

Thanks to the start-up boom, a lot of brands aim to make everything from your watch to your shoes perfectly personal and explore your own preferences in much detail, without leaving your house.

TALONS D'OR surpassed all the tests in delivering that great experience in how a shoe should tend to- Comfort with a tadka of style (tadka =seasoning ). 

I picked beige as the insole colour. The weaved pattern was kept subtle and I chose the design from their look-book gallery. The red outer sole is very close to louboutin red, nicely finished too . The block heel ( 3 inches) is comfortable to walk in for an entire day of rendezvous, or in this case, location hopping for this shoot. However I only wish if they could give me 3.5 inch nicety on the heels too, but never mind.

I may be finicky about how a certain item fits in my closet. And then when brands tend to make the whole shopping experience special and meaningful, I  throw open the whole closet door for them. I could say this for TALONS D'OR too. 

I try to bring y'all into my world of great shopping, styling tips, of course easily accessible fashion,rather you can call me your very own conductor in this intimate sartorial relationship which we all share through this medium of my blog.  I love telling my own story through pictures and a place where brands could also easily fit. 

Safe to attest TALONS D'OR as your next test shop for your shoe shopping . Putting all the links below. Give them a glance.

Also a big shout-out to Sahil from Lensthing for these amazing pics. He is your man for some stunning candid photography.

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.

Hair Makeover And Snakeprint

I have always had my hair colored since the age of 20. The irony is that these two years of blogging made me debut with my black hair. It all happened in Hongkong about two years back- A clear case of misunderstanding, where I took a stab on my hair and it was accidentally colored black instead of Red. The color was a switch n whether I Call it a language errrr or Karma, I had to live with that for at least an year. That experience was just enough and a lesson learnt  in itself to not to experiment with things that could be drastic and that I must take baby steps towards stuff which means larger than life for me !
So here I am , taking a best shot at it again. I got global highlights in Honey color, changed the base of my hair first , and also got a portion of my hair colored red ! The Red doesn't last long. For a few days it bled and ran down on my clothes  And  after first wash it became lighter by fifty percent though my stylist gave a rap on the knuckles for that, but who listened to him anyways? lol ! After four rotten tees, Its fun, its Red like this and I am loving it !!

Summer Fashion Hearts And Magazine Print Shorts

It was a perfect rainy day, gloomy with  lil showers , and it was time to make it bright on the outside. After the bundled up winters bygone , I was itching to show some legs and create a perfect summer spring board look. A leggy pair of shorts surprises everyone especially when topped with something too casual like a cropped tee, which brings bold boudoir dressing outside the bedroom, and meets matchy -matchy  head-to-toe color. I felt that this outfit exudes a casual confidence in an irresistible way. Dressed up in my black transparent dior inspired pumps, I like it when it has that "Je nai sais Quoi"(french for "indefinable vibe") and the vintage accessories being put on a high coz they have an evergreen fashion history . I could wear this outfit to a happy hour stroll (reminiscing Bangkok streets ) and then can go take a nap in these ! This outfit is a wardrobe staple for anyone at any age and now I can't wait to experiment and convert this rocker chic look to something more sassy for the night. stay tuned :)

5 Best Colors for your Valentines Day Outfit | Valentines Makeup| hairstyles

I might have offended a few of you about my brassy take on Valentines day in last year post. I still look at this day as a day of manufactured or induced romance and  an easy peg spawned by the retailers to sell more Roses and Chocolates in the world- There are far more important things to celebrate later on in a relationship.  Why would you want your relation to be lumped in with millions of other peoples ?  Total infantilism nonsense . Lets leave it here as of now !
As sane fashion bloggers , we look forward to a chance of dressing up, and I look at this day as an extra opportunity to put on my best coz  La-dee -da I have my anniversary to celebrate post Valentines, and I make sure that my man gets to let out his inner Don Juan and really go all out for me-Minus all the Pomp n splurge Except if  its a Prada -which apparently is home and I am gonna show you that soon  !
Not a supporter for this day , but Yes I Care for all that Red and Pink and all the overall girliness which radiates through a killer Valentines day ensemble ! I wore Red coz Its quintessential valentine color, white-coz it gave a more dressed up vibe and , and leopard to rebel against V-day stereotypes. 

           

These Leopard pumps were sent over by Sammydress.com. They have a huge collection of stylish pumps and boots and clothes just served on a big platter. There are plethora of options to choose from their accessories section too , which  just drove me crazy. Shipping was quick, and the pumps were safely packed . Next time you fumble or if on a tight budget, you might wanna give them a try !
