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 .

Brand Spotlight : Madame Spring Collection and Bloggers meet At Pacific Mall, Delhi

Last month was all about buzzing events and then the much awaited Fashion week happened. Things moved on at a pretty fast pace ,and then after burning the candle from both ends,I just felt like crashing and not to even look at any mails . I need to get rid of my dark circles pretty soon, and am also looking for some pronto vacation elope. But before anything happens pretty fast, let me just do a brief look back to a blogger meet up which happened last month organized by " Madame"at their Pacific Mall, Delhi outlet. 
As usual, I got a chance to rub my elbows with event regulars and some new connections were made too. Needless to say, a lot of things happens over a cup of coffee ,and the unveiling of Madame Spring Summer collection 2014 was just a part of it.
There were hair stylists, who were hired to do a Zealous Cinderella makeover on us, before we were asked to pick our style from the collection and head for a quick change of our outfits.
There were short videos made on why's and how's of the collection,with blogger intro and the cameraman's usual technical glitches and re-takes. 
My style is usually comfortable, hence I just took a moment to slip into these harem pants and called it a day. Within minutes I saw this cropped lace jacket hidden under trial piles, and picked it up for the rest of my pairing.

Stills from the video shooting, when I was a Talking Tom. Dressed all in Madame.

The end result - I looked all fancy,in Madame,but felt a lil packed up a while after,as I went down a size in this jacket. After month of hunting for a jacket like this, it had to come to me this way. But then it was an  " it" fashion triage,and didn't even restrict me in a big way(just a size small),But then ,we probably should have clothes in all fits and sizes,some more flatter fitted and a few snug, and as long as I am not getting fat, things like these walk back with me home.

I would say that I am not a regular at shopping at madame, but their colorful spring/summer surely makes me wanna keep a tab on whats new!The store looked energetic with huge prints galore spotted on the racks,and some nice summery and candy dresses on which I had a crush on.

Do drop in a Madame store whenever possible ,and check out a variety of styles ranging from simple tees, vests and tops in nets and laces, to keep you cool and stylish this spring. The collection also includes short skirts and sunny dresses both for formal and casual occasions.

Dress With Sneakers | Fashion Inspiration 2014 | Street Style India

Spring's hottest street style combo is a dress with a sneaker, and I decided to step up my dress look just a smidge and brought these canvas shoes to notice. So If they match Stylistically or color wise, I would say go for it though I am not sure how i feel about the more sportier looking trainers ? Sometimes its the most unlikely things which makes the best combo, and this uncanny cool character which seems to be actually purifying a trend only to be embraced and make a fashion week wave. Not aesthetically appealing but surely they have an enthusiastic wearable appeal . Chanel recently sent haute couture sneakers down the runway, with the whole fashion fraternity talking about it.-So  go ahead and give those back breaking stilettos some rest. Score- I say :)
This Champagne- sand colored jacket was sent over by Rosegal.com .It has a PU lining inside and a slant zipper, which makes it perfect for this kind of early spring charm dressing. It looks and feel more expensive than what it actually costs.  Shipping was pretty fast(12 days) and the item matched the description.Definitely a site to check out, since I found their stuff trendy without being too mainstream.

I got a chance to meet Shilpi from Pink jasmine Styling, who was on her holiday to India, last week. She is a great blogger, with lovely smile and some ideal fashion aesthetics and a new mommy to adorable twins. We discussed things we had in common- ie blogging, and talked about a few other amazing bloggers who leaves us both inspired.

Indo Western Ways to Wear A Sari

I got these photos clicked just before heading out for a wedding. I am not at all a Sari person ;rather you can call me a typical  fuddy-duddy stereotype women who gets away in a suit/churidar whenever there is an urgent demand to dress up in an ethnic wear n that's about it ! I can be counted as one of those Indian women who get intimidated at the mere thought of wearing a sari ! I own approx eight sari's mostly in brocade n kanjeevaram which were handed over forcefully by my mom,after giving me a whole culture appropriate talk  #mouthshut.
Recently my blogger friend  Aditi from So- Saree  mailed me about a blog feature on the theme Sari. I gulped in a chunk of thought and decided to redeem a few of my precious Saris my mother passed on so lovingly, and do a style post for her ! 
Sari for me is too constraining, and I got a lil spooked out to wear a blouse,especially when I had to put up with numbing days and arctic cold last month . Well ,when necessity becomes the mother of all inventions, I decided to bring more fun and alternate the blouse with my Zara turtle neck to give it a more indo western spin and a Bindi fix to work some Desi girl magic around and speak the language of elegance.
You will find the same post on Aditi's blog too.

Mix The Prints

Recently I discovered that I could do so much with my current wardrobe, that I don't mind going on a shopping ban ( I am keeping that for the New years resolution as of now )
Until an year back, I was minimalistic at heart, and enjoyed keeping the look clean accompanied with plain textures ! A sight of plains, neutrals and stripes dominated my closet then. Today all I wanna do is just add essential trends and freshen up my basics rather than go on shopping endlessly. I don't think I would have tried mixing prints a few years ago, but am finally glad, that I decided to walk this route.As of now, lets call it a mixed-print baby step .
 If mixing prints feels too overwhelming, try layering a long-sleeve striped top under something solid.  Take the look to a next level by adding a printed accessory (leopard shoes, scarf, camo pants, etc.).

By the time you read this post I would be taking time off from the blog for a while and spend these holidays with my family and in self enrichment ! Delhi is going to be frigid in few days(as per weather reports) And I am gonna shake off these winter chills, by going to someplace warm !! It might be difficult to update on the blog, but I would be live and very active on my Insta feed !

 Merry Christmas folks

xoxo

Lavie Accessories New Collection for A/W-2014

Last Weekend  I attended Lavie's Bloggers Meet and greet at Select City walk , Saket. The whole idea was to introduce us to the new range of bags and footwear collection and it was glad to see the brand incorporating the latest trends. I always associated Lavie with typical carry to work style bags, and it was interesting to see them bring neon colors to their collection . The bags are sturdy and if you have tendency to stuff your bags with almost anything n everything, then they have a few structured ones as well with roomy compartments .Though in my opinion they should consider adding some glowing/party clutches coz every women needs a sequined something for a glamorous night out in town. But guess its gonna be a while before they incorporate these under their umbrella. As for the footwear collection, nothing fancy, but if you are looking for a robust shoe,that should last you good,  Lavie would not fail you.

I bought these Lavie Nude pumps which I switched over with my boots , and then walked the whole mall for an Hour ! I think I can trust them for a lil more walking whenever next !!

Collection Avaialble at: Lavie Stores, Select Samsonite stores, Bagzone stores, Debenhams,Shoppers Stop, Lifestyle, Central and leading handbag retail chains across India.

Green Renewal

Got this beautiful Tulle dress from DresseStylist ! I love this green color !! It's so fresh and very wearable.Since Pantone embraced Emerald green ,as the color of the year,I thought of bringing it to my wardrobe too ! The best thing about this dress,is that, I can carry it well during daytime as well and not just merely leave it for a fancy occasion !The sequin bustier inside ,and handstiched big crystal stones on the shoulder surely needs no Elaboration ! I was literally busy absorbing a soft feminine girly get up in this elaborate dress.Playing out as a dainty female becomes a lot of fun at times, especially if you are not into this type of look so often. Paired it with my studded silver Steve madden platforms,and sequin silver clutch,and did a twisted up do !
