Two Things to keep in Mind for your Valentine Outfit | Gifts

We are back talking about the month of love, and the markets and shops have already started filling up with pretty colors and designs and everything red which has hearts, and we are racking our minds, making a list of thoughtful gifts.
While many of us are still caught up in the hype, I feel, there is no harm in celebrating  when the world's throwing a chance at us . Ideally, everyday of our lives should be celebrated, but many women look forward to a day where they could switch it up a bit, and get dressed ,looking all fancy. So for all those of you ,to whom , it means a lot, let me not sour you more on love, and lets talk about all the good things that comes with this day. Red is the color of  valentine n blah blah blah , but trust me, when the whole world would be bleeding red and pink, you could stand out by wearing something purple or yellow or maybe blue. So how about a great colored midi skirt, a cropped blouse or a jacket and nicely done up hair, for a Midas touch ?
Midi skirts exudes elegance and modern warmth, especially in all the happy colors. I love this sunshine Yellow color, and for this year, I am calling it my color for the Valentine. Also I love how these snazzy oversize Blue reflectors gives a final touch, setting the mood just right. These modern pieces not only make up, as some interesting  Valentine gifts, which are light on pocket, but  are also well-intentioned, if your other half is a fashion monster !
If you are going to spend money this Valentine days, better make it good and make space for personal memories to grow, Even if its on some in-expensive jewelry, or a dress or a book, or a special self cooked meal, as long as it doesn't cost you an arm or leg, while still kicking up the notch a bit higher than last year !

Parkas And Winter Shopping

We haven't had much sunshine these past weeks, which means only one thing - Snug,Heavy duty jackets, parkas, all spiraling  up , and its but obvious that they become my favorite winter Armour. The beauty of a basic winter piece is that, once you've got a good one, it should last you a couple of years, and its obvious that we want it to be either a black or white (u know how we love our classics).

The sale season is on, and if there is a best time to bag these offers, is right now, especially when you can use Coupons too to get the further slash of price, on stuff which is already at bonkers amount, not to forget the fresh arrivals for spring/summer, I call it the best of both world's, especially when one cannot be labeled as sounding greedy/cheap- (A street or a thrift shop experience, where we always have to beg to bargain )

I think the time of the year has come , where I can put my golden rules for negotiations to rest and just log on to see what could be my best bargain on stocking up a my winter basics for next year, and browse through a complete list of e-stores  and seize sizable discounts.

Its been a few months , I did my heavy duty shopping, and the coming week is gonna be all about that, you know, when my shopping frenzy goes more feverish, specially when the discounts seems pretty much desirable ! 

So come on tell me, are you sale season shopper too ? Or just regular Couponing seems to suffice all the year round ?

Boyfriend Denims And Hat | Street Style India

I have a weakness for everything denim.  Yup that slouchy n worn in feeling of a perfect boyfriend jeans , we are all familiar with !! Come 2014, Enter Boyfriend denim jackets.This oversize n light layer, can be yours, and one does not need to hunt them down. Perhaps I would say that its the most easily integrated piece for androgynous fashion. Pieces like these can work with leggings, a bubble skirt, skinny jeans and even shorts. With an endless array of colors and patterns to choose from, finding the right layer for you shouldn't be too difficult.
Boyfriend Layers are my perfect Jam for winters. If anything ,the latest crop of those streetstylin celebrities have shown that if you can't combine textures , then better layer on ! 
I love to flaunt sports meet preppy styles, read harsh Balmain styles(swooning already on the latest teaser with them)  While winters give me a perfect hot-spot to bring on the my own personal visage on things that make up modern day androgynous women,the heel in my step, gives an effeminate edge, so that I could make it appealing to those who are not really up for it ! Go ahead give it a shot, even if it takes baby steps, and explore a new side in fashion :)

Trench Weather

I was longing to share my look after the recent hair coloring session, while my hair was still at the blow dried best !! You can read about it here. It has given me a new boost of confidence, (always do btw) And when a super job is handled by the best in the industry, there is no room for dissatisfaction.
Today I just re-created an outfit, I wore recently to an event. Its pretty cold outside, and its just fair to re-invent no-brainer outfits, or the ones you had tried earlier. Right now, its a perfect trench weather, I love mine for its endearing style and raising the bar of femininity with my dresses. Black , blue n grey may be your winter staples, but I always find adding  a punch of color for a more impactful statement, or mixing color in wild ways, coz that way I find out what works the best for me. Too overpowering ?? Nahhh... Well, after all ,the only thing I might have to lose is my ennui.

Brand Spotlight : Femella.In

Today's Brand Spotlight is on Femella.in. They organized a bloggers preview of their A/W collection last month(delhi/ncr) and we had the privilege to check into the new stuff and feel what they had in store for us these winters. Capes have taken over the trend game,and we love showing them off don't we ? So the minute I spotted this tulip cape on their website, I was thinking these gnarly glasses, A 90's look, some teased hair, and a Ribbon headband. Although what's missing here is a scrunchie and I won't lie if I tell you that I had George Michael running in mind , but lets leave that for next time to set in.
Femella.in has a line of trendy outfits at unbeatable price. Their fleece collection is weather appropriate and the minute I ran my hands through the cloth, I felt that it was pretty apt for the winter chills we face in Delhi. The collection is not only updated, of course in vibrant flashes of earthy silhouettes, seen both in fleece and mesh fabrics in red, blue, and black palettes, but each item brings out a cool n dynamic athletic vibe at prices that won't put a hole in ur Purse.
Besides this look, I call this outerwear the Show piece of all the outfits coz(yeah not only it swings me back to 90s) but  there are an innumerable ways that this could be styled, plus with a new twist in the cut, and Hi-Lo detailing  I can't wait to show off what more I could do with their collection.
Among other exotic elements, I love the effect these velvet leggings are lending it out to make the outfit more tangy and saucy.So let me just warm up to more ideas of wearing this cape in many other ways, and bring these styles for you to embrace, till then, give Femella.in a peek an tell me what you think ?

Plaid for Winters | Pench Travel Diaries

Though right now, its a struggle to show off these bare legs in Delhi, thinking of the chilly season hovering ahead, its simply not possible. But you would laugh if I tell you that I was freezing my ass off last month exactly for this outfit shoot. These pics are from Pench National Park,(in case u are on insta u would know I was there ) 
It was raining when we landed, and the weather took a steep turn into being very very cold. I was only thinking of all those shorts which I had packed, coz that part of India is never that cold. To add to my woes, hubs disclosed that our safaris were booked for  5 A.M for 3 consecutive days, and suddenly shopping became the most prime agenda.
We loved our hotel- Village machaan Resort, which apparently had the best rooms (all glass) and a private Machaan(vantage Point/ Watch tower ) - offering a great view.
The roads leading to the jungle are actually not that great, and can give you a really spooky experience, but the safaris were well worth the risks. We spotted the tiger on our very first safari , and the other two days we almost followed the  leopard  paws, but missed the beast. The drivers and the guides inside the park are very well trained , and they make sure that we all have a great experience. The last day , I finally had a chance to take these shorts out and pose in from my room (if u can see in  between blur and portions). This also happened be  the only day I smothered on some lipstick like a jerk, coz my lips were too busy either complaining of the cold or involved in  tittering every second. 
Except the bag, shoes and shirt, I have shopped everything from the men section here. Its not unusual that you see me mixing prints these  days- Been there and done that , but it was some kind of different thrill to mix n match stuff from the HE- Man ? Like it ??
