Beanies and Printed Jumpers

I read somewhere that  most people wear 20% of their clothes 80% of the time and a lightbulb just went off in my head. I surveyed my closet and found that to be completely true for me as well... coz I wore this Jumper exactly last year, this time .There are some pieces from my wardrobe, which gives me an overwhelming pang every time I see them hanging, and I get itchy to continuously wear them again n again.  The truth of the matter, I think, is – (which apparently I also read once somewhere) –" to be really well dressed, you HAVE to have a LOT of CLOTHES, But not clothes you never wear".Are we on the same page yet ? Do you maximize your wardrobe too  Or your eyes are bigger than the stomach ?? hihi !!
Today I made an  off-the-wall choice to clash the color of this jumper with brutal wine hue , and it seemed to go with everything. Rest of the look was kept neutral n understated . Also i am loving these On the run messy braids, besides on saving time, don't they just take the look to a new level ?

Winter Style Update- PLAID COAT

The start of 2014 has been decent for me. Ok to be honest, It started on a good and fat note of splurge. My first PRADA bag is on the way, and I am counting days. I have been reading a lot of blogs, and the bloggers new year's resolution on how not to splurge this year . I find myself  being a scrooge when I read them, grinning over silently and thinking, well at least its not my part of the plan yet !!
I don't have a humongous bag collection. I had always picked bags from customs store or from the streets during my hay college days, because I didn't have a "Sugar Daddy" to fund me.
Ever since I got married, I am allowed to buy just one bag a year. And I have the liberty to chose from any luxury brands,so that it lasts me a decade(we call them throw around bags). Now since I am trying to understand fashion better and I see it truly as an art form, I have started supporting all things creative and entrepreneurial. I have shifted my focus from being a lady who desires to Luxe to a lady who loves to be artsy.  
I remember last time I got Mr. Hubs to snap at me when I bought this Dior inspired bag from Bangkok. 
let me quote him for you- " Money is meant to be spent (read – used wisely), not hoarded. Your satisfaction (or any other synonym) depends on how smartly you spend it. Skip it up and I'll buy you a Dior next year "
Guess my over enthusiasm for Prada is only a way to beat the winter blues. Its shivering cold in Delhi, but nothing compared to the -48C in most of North America ! This Blankety scarf and My new Asos knee boots are a sure means to keep off the wind chill factor.

Best Place to Buy Stylish Frames Online

Whenever I need a new pair of eyewear, the first step to it is browsing all the best available options online alongwith reviews !! Selecting an eye-wear is not as easy as buying any piece of clothing. There are a lot of meticulous things need to be addressed though, but then if there is a possibility of saving time ,Lenskart.com comes into the picture !
Lenskart offers an incredible selection  of glasses online for both men and women ! In case you wanna update your spectacles, then its as easy as a click of a mouse now days !! Keeping a majority of world brands under its umbrella, there seems no dearth of options from stylish frames to choose and that too sitting at home !!  The other thing which caught my eye is that the website offers home eye testing facility in case you are housebound, or even if you are not . But whatever it is , its quite unheard in India at least ! Its like going to a real doctor but from the comfort of your home !

The second best thing unlike any website is that they have the option to gift and redeem any corporate or personal gift voucher. Available from a denomination of Rs 500 - 21,000, it solves a convenient way to shift the dilemma for most of us coz, you not only gift a currency , but you are also gifting someone an opportunity to shop n explore Lenskart.com.

1) Fast shipping (makes sense, since they're local) - One can always get the stuff on time .
2) Free shipping, Cash on delivery and 14 day return policy

4) Latest collection from top brands 
5) Everything on the website seemed to be at par and competitively priced.
6)The fantastic virtual fitting room, helps you try the selected frame by uploading a head-shot or taking one with your webcam, and the glasses will hover over your eyes.
7) Easy navigation and  User friendly website.
8) Ongoing promotions that focus on reducing the cost of frames and lenses .

Top Wedding Dress Trends in 2014

This new-year most of you are going to get married Isn't it ?? The trend says that every Bride must make an entrance that should leave people catching their breath and the groom should be mesmerized enough to remember that moment for the rest of life(mine still does OK ) 

One's wedding dress can make or break your day and hence we need lots of attention and patience while choosing the wedding dress.

The most important thing to pull off your dream look on your wedding is to make sure your wedding dress matches your body shape. It is easy to get bogged down by the huge range of collections but when you remove all the frills and laces it all boils down to just 5 basic styles of wedding dresses that surely are going to rock 2014. Yes the trendy styles to look out for  . Don't worry let me break it down for you !

·         A-Line or the Princess Wedding Dress: This is a sure favorite of all the brides. Can be usually worn by people of all body types. It can make a rounder lower body look slimmer and on the other hand it can also give the illusion of curves for petite women.

·         Empire Wedding Dress: Another strong contender for the most loved wedding dress of 2014 would be the empire wedding dress. This is a very forgiving dress and can help you hide your problem areas with elegance. Its raised waistline works magic for both small and large busted women and it is also ideal for people with pear shaped figures.

·         Column or Sheath Wedding Dress: Now this style should definitely be on the top list when you are considering buying one because of the flattering way it drapes and hugs your body. It is ideal for petite and lean brides. This can make you look taller and leggier.

·         Mermaid Wedding Dress: This style is not only sexy but contours everything dashingly. It comes in varying styles and can be tweaked to suit your body style. Since this is also body hugging, wear it only if you are confident and comfortable in it.

·         Ball gown Wedding Dress: No explanations !! Why ? because these are what fairy tales are made of. You know it is a happily ever after when you see the princess walking into the sunset in this wedding dress with her prince charming. Avoid this type of wedding dress if you have a small frame because it usually tends to overpower it.

With these styles from the top list of wedding dresses of 2014 you can tweak them here and there and make a statement of your own. Pair your wedding dress with a sash or a bolero jack or add your own design details in pearls, crystals or brocade. 

All these styles are  and many other bridal shopping websites too and in the wildest of widest range of collection that one can think of !! Happy Shopping BRIDES !! 

Brand Spotlight- AMERICAN SWAN

Wishing Everyone a Very Happy New Year ! I am back after a mini vacation from Kerala with God's own eclectic influence on me :) We had so much fun - I'm in total withdrawal now! How did I ever survive cooking and cleaning when I could be on the lakeside all day?? Getting away gives such a great perspective on your life.Vacation is like a drug-the high before, the great feeling during, and the downer after. Sometimes I think it's not worth the emotional roller coaster-but then I wanna pack up and move out soon again !! Really intended to do the first post of New year on the 1st of this month, but could not(had a technology n gadget handicap u see) But life would give me a better chance next year.

Online shopping is an area in which we’re proudly adept, and among a few other bookmarking shopping websites I have recently added American Swan, line of clothing.
I picked up this Varsity jacket and was pleasantly surprised with the quality, in comparison with the low prices.Its pretty warm for me to stand a 4degree Delhi chill especially when I had an early morning flight to catch. Its comfy, sensible pockets and completely blocks the wind from the front to keep the wearer nice and cosy.
These Chinos too are a pretty good fit and the material feels great and breathable.The website has a cloud of categories,and a whole lotta options to pick and choose from. The women’s selection appears to be mostly basics, with a few trendy items thrown in the mix. I did not go through the men section :( 
There’s no denying that the site has a very welcome mode with ease of ordering in addition to the e-commerce landscape, and one that I’ll be checking often as new items roll in.
When you pick out something you like, head over to the accessories section—they offer some cool bags and accessories to match your purchase. :P
