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 !!

#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 :)

Inspired By Fashion Week

Today's outfit is a Re-Run of a sneak peek u all would have seen,during Fashion week days. Its finally making it to the blog , yes thank god .

For most of us who make it to the lavishness of the fashion week with its own dress codes and haunts, its a fantasy on the runway,while the others gaped their phones and their favourite fashion people live streamed pictures on Instagram. Fashion show days have a different kind of vibe. 

Taking the leverage of these events, we common mortals(btw you can easily identify these people at fashion week) fingers tapping on phone, slowly strolling the venue, eye contact minimal, sipping tea and in between pointing phones at a mirror for pictures to cover on the blog.Basically Low profile that is. 

While there are those flaunting their guccis in the face, air-kissing with designers , talking as loud as they could with a verbal fashion diarrhea and  some slangs which I don't understand, a walk which would put a shame to any online couture queen, papped by new interns(you would find them  on second row and how ?) who specifically stalked these self -acclaimed diva(s) on Instagram only to the day where they could bolster their online validation and rub a few goody bags in the face of their deprived friends boasting about their fashion connections. 

I know for a fact that fashion has a hierarchy. The influencers like editorials wears anything which speak more directional pieces, buyers -more of commercial dressing , while its the bloggers who care about creative  and original design  and  good craftsmanship. 

They explore,  translate runway fashion to convertible fashion(budget it too , if need be) for a thousands of those who doesn't know how it's done. To me, they are the actual influencers who pay attention to designers collection and then closely create items heavily influenced by or have similar elements and manage to stay on "Point " And its when they actually irrigate the garden of Self-Made. 

So all my lovely bloggers out there- Just  believe in your HYPE, keep doing the awesome work you do coz  REAL-ITY is made up of being  Real, and you all are the only ones having that.

P.S- This is just a rant, an observation, and doesn't mean to hurt anyone's emotional balance. Take it in good humour .

A Day In MY Life

Continued from my last post, Sundays are days reserved for special activities. Like some cool DIY's which I think of while randomly doing the mundane stuff in my life (e.g taking a shower )   Like these braids resulted as an  extensive Pinterest exposure. Plus the weather was firmly fixed on being cold, n foggy, which made me spending my day, the lazy way, curled up n reading Fakir . By evening the winds were more ghastly and it was imperative that we have a reaction. Except the reaction took us to India Gate to shoot these pics under a blanket of thundering skies n heavy clouds. But I love the effect it lent to my photos - I would say tout Naturel !!

It gives me strength to junk jewel and wear Fashion Jewelry which are great dupes of Silver Jewelry  with my basic tee n blue jeans, in a simplified unadorned form.It lifts a plain dressing up,  n if u add some funky hairdo, n bold lips, we are cracking up style spices.

This Stalk buy love tee has literally hearts on the sleeves, and sequins too which create a fun sparkly effect that's enough to send you right to the moon,and is just the correct choice of reinventing a basic tee n jeans trend coz -  being wild n hippie at heart has no age boundaries.

Purple Lips | Lipsticks Trends that You Must Try This Spring

After my sporadically done Blue lips fame, it was time to dive right into a color experiment and haphazardly open up to a whole rainbow and do a whacky post yet again ! I was determined to push my boundaries a bit further and come up with high impact lips. This Lilac is just the right shade for an Indian tone . Its a neutral without being one , it can be light and it can be dark, and you can play with the tone just as you feel like. Be vampy with double swipe or be feminine with a single one, just whatever rocks your boat.
Yes you would get some odd looks on the streets , but whatever , you know u are Rad, and there is nothing that could take that feeling from you .
There are so many ways I could just breeze through summers with these more subversive than tidy unabashed lips. Its just like the easiest thing to throw on after the summer heat kicks over. Case In Point : U don't know what you have got , until you tried it . But more than anything its about the trial and error, and a constant revolution between the posh n proper on one side and the punk and Provocateurs on the other, and then moving on to see what the Sartorial Janta likes and don't ? Lucky for me, you guys love my coming together of two poles , appreciate,leave generous love and all this gives me a creative license to thwack n shake the fashion world(thudd thuddd thudd lol)
Besides its not only these lips I lathered on. These bomber jackets are a trendy rendition to this pleasant Delhi weather. And for this sartorial climate that encourages most of us to wear whatever they want , I am loving every bit of it layering with whatever I could grab on and take my thangsss to the next level.

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 :)

Fashion Forecast : Fringe Trend

Fringes are back in Vogue. On shoes, On Belt, on Bags, On Accessories, On clothes, peeps you just gotta look around on Pinterest ! It has transformed from an all Bohemian or western or a Pop star interpretation and can be Juxtaposed with Sensual Silhouettes  now! Who knows, it might get just as big as the crop top trend, and  ladies before you know it, this bitch called fashion just throw us back to an era we just may dread -THE 80's .  Fashion  Trends are a bit late when we talk about India. Its a snail approach. And I just don't say that for the heck of it , I have proof. I saw Fringe working its way through , two years back flooded in abundance in Bangkok malls. Though It has yet to hit the racks of the most prominently shopped brands in India . The collection is not that immense I say.

Come close and I'll talk about the most run of the mill style -crop tops scenario in India ! Like everywhere, even my neighborhood street shops have them ! From have nots they are the new Try Ons ! I can't really say, but sense that we would be pretty on top of this Fringe thingy too and you would be crushing on them hard and before we know it we gals would be fringing our closets to glory  and saying--  Aloha !!
