Lookbook: Fashion Pearls And Singapore-Day-2

It was Day 2 at Hotel Marina Bay Sands, Singapore where I  made the most of the remainder of my Vacation.   I never planned that I would be posting these pics, but had to, as I wanted to Show off my new Pearlie's which I bought while my stay in Singapore. Every women should at least have a pair of pearl whites, as they make up for a perfect summer accessory and always remain fashionable no matter what the trend.

Besides in possession of a small dainty pearl necklace,passed on by grandma which forever remained keepsake in her jewelry box,  this is the only Pearl statement piece I own and look forward to wearing it with everything. 

We planned on having some casino time and I dressed the part, kept the look around semi-casuals and clutter free. For the sake of limited luggage coz we had to change almost 6 flights,and spending a fair amount of time living out of a suitcase(15 days) packing light was so valuable to my sanity. A pair or two of  bikinis, and shorts and these denims and heels, were stretched to be used for multiple outfits and activities, saving the luggage space good enough to fit a Pup .

Black And White Stripe Trend With Many Shades Of Green

I have done multitude posts on how to achieve the black and white look. See here, here and here.
Went a bit trendy today  with a b/w theme for the weekend. 
Honestly speaking I have seen a lot of women doing this trend too on the streets of Delhi, which really left me with overboard kinda feeling (either they are drowned badly or the boldness doesn't stand out) , but then there is one thing I learnt about stripes- That it can either work or not work for you, and the key is to keep the look individually distinct and not just to duplicate what others have already done. Its always easy to copy and get the look, but the catch is in adding your own  seasoning to the bland Salt and Pepper ! 
This is how I teased out, yet again this seasons black n white stripe trend by adding the color green  in different  hints to my whole look to get a stimulating yet a  relaxed silhouette .
Stripes are a  bit eccentric , you either love 'em or hate 'em. What's your stripe story ?

Your Guide to Wearing Stripes for Summer-2013

How to wear stripes - Different Stripes for different body types. yes that's where we are heading here..

Needless to explain, that stripes are a biggg trend, and they are gleaming everywhere . So when One of my blog readers was a bit Flummoxed by the fact that she looks overweight and Unflattering in them, I decided to address a post, specifically for all of us who might feel the same,and what better way than to do a OOTD keeping the trend in mind.

No its not Oxymoron,You can really rock the stripes for the Summer of 2013 if we just understand a few things. 

1. First things first, there are a very few of us who are blessed with a perfect body out there(some things are not in our hands,so as of now we can blame our genes for that). But what is not  impossible is that we can create an illusion of a perfect body ! Yes and Wearing stripes makes it relatively easier to achieve !!
2. Vertical Stripes- For those who are heavier on the sides:-They draw the eyes up and down,rather than a side scan. Result-Look Lean and Long !!  Go ahead and pair them with a solid color .
3. Horizontal Stripes- Accentuate the petite part of your body with Horizontal Stripes.U guessed it right ! They can be Widening ! Wider the Horizon, more focused would be the Eyes ,and make a seemingly narrow part of our body ,broader !!
4. Chevron Stripes: Someone did a fun twist on the basic stripes,and made them Zig-Zag,and Boom-We learnt a new term, CHEVRON -Ideal for fuller figure women,as they call attention to the center line of your body.
5. You can even mix stripes choosing a vertical stripe on the half you want to downplay and a horizontal stripe on the half of your body you want to draw more attention to ! It really depends on what you have in your closet.

Phew ! One long post !! Now What ? Go and start digging your closets and discover some Stripes ,but before you do that have a look at How I wore Chevron Stripes !

Spring/Summer 2013 Trends- Top to Bottom White Look

Big or a small vacation, I am a chronic Over packer, and mostly end up not wearing even half of what I carry !! Though past so many years I have tried to master the art of packing less, but have yet to really get the hang of it ! But one thing, I have learnt so far ,is that to carry a few staple pieces ,which are gonna help me sail through my vacations easily without being repetitive ! One such staple for me is my white denims ! One should never underestimate the versatility of the basic white bottoms ! It is one of those pants that can be taken from a casual day at the beach to a cocktail party effortlessly. 
The pictures are from last weekend from my vacation to lansdowne (I blabbered about it in my previous post :) :) 
 Have been loving an all white look lately !! Why? coz I feel it makes towards a much more refreshing statement ! Also I love the way it looks against my skin, plus it's the best blank canvas for accessorizing !! However for this outfit I grounded the monochrome look by adding a neon necklace and matched it with the clutch ! To sum up, I think all white looks beautiful. I wouldn't call it a recent trend ,As it has become an all-year color,and not just one that comes around summers. 
Though Hubs is always nervous about me spilling some coffee on my whites as if It seems to be a magnet for those little coffee spills/drips.(hehe) But the fact is that I am clumsy in my real life and I always find random stains on my clothes at the end of the day :(
