My Red Valentine

Hello Chicas,

Firstly, I would like to apologize for the delayed post on my Valentine's outfit. I have been super busy trying to multi-task so many things at a time. I ended up spending Valentine's week in a village with my friends on a field visit for our college project and it was an altogether very unique experience.
I have always celebrated Valentine's day with my friends and family. For me it has been the perfect excuse to put on a cute outfit and hit the town.

Now moving onto the outfit, I came across this midi length red tulle dress in a thrift store and the very first thing which came to my mind was that I found my Valentine's day outfit. However, a red dress sounded way too cliched to me for Valentine's and therefore I decided to add some layer to it. I have paired a floral embroidered crop top over the dress which is again another way to flaunt the innerwear as outerwear trend. The floral embroidery and the red color makes for a perfect Valentine's day look, perhaps out for a brunch with your girlfriends or on a date with your lover. For accessories, I opted for a black handbag with metal studs which gives the outfit a very edgy look. I finished the look with a classic pair of black pumps, mid parted hair and a black lace hand chain.

Love is in the air!

Hello Chicas,

It's officially the love week and today's ootd happens to be a valentine's special post! The moment I saw this dress, I could imagine myself wearing it on a lunch date with my girlies! The flirty open shoulder along with the sweetheart neckline and the twirl worthy skater pattern makes it a perfect valentine's wear. Also, the color light pink is the icing on the cake. Of late I'm buying a lot of pinks which I hope is just a phase. The gingham print on the dress is very much in tune with the winter fashion. To accessorie the outfit, I have added a woollen beret and sheer stiletoes in navy blue. I didn't want to miss out on the color of love red, so I added a studded clutch and wore scarlett lips. The entire look put together exuded parisian vibe which is why I chose to shoot this outfit in Nicco Park near the miniature Eiffel.

Gingham Girl!

Hello Chicas,

Today's OOTD is a casual one! As the weather gets warmer, it's time to ditch those sweaters and heavy duty jackets and slip into light cozy winter layering. So being in tune with the weather, I wore this distressed denim pencil skirt which has a frayed hem. I have paired the skirt with a cropped gingham shirt, which is my most favorite among all the check prints. The red and navy blue shade of the shirt added a much needed pop of color to the outfit. Pencil skirts are my current favorite, love how one can transform the look from a formal office wear one by pairing it with a shirt to a laid back casual one by throwing on a simple tee.

I have accessorized the outfit with yellow reflective aviators to go with my golden spiked necklace. To complete the look, I decided to keep the other accents in neutral color, so opted for a backpack and ankle length boots in tan.

Celebrity Style: Deepika Padukone - Tamasha

Hello Chicas,

Today's post is a special one as I'm doing a break-up of the look sported by my style icon and inspiration Deepika Padukone in her upcoming movie Tamasha. I'm a huge fan of Deepika, this women gives me serious style goals! She has come such a long way from a reserved girl next door kinda girl to a bold fashion diva who doesn't shy away from experimenting and trying out new trends. Whether it's a saree or a pant suit, she carries it off with equal elan.

In the movie, Deepika is seen in a very casual chic look sporting the recent trends, from fringe bags to sneakers in neon shades. The look I have created is from the song Matargasti where she is wearing a sleeveless lip print shirt on a navy blue A-line dress with barely there make-up. I found this shirt few months back on Flipkart and the quirky lip print on it made it an obvious must have in my wardrobe. As it was my first apparel purchase from Flipkart, I was a little skeptical about the quality of the product, but it turned out to be a decent buy and I am quite happy with the fit and material.

Coming to how I recreated Deepika's look from the movie, I have added the lip print shirt on a Cami acid wash dress with a sweetheart neckline which I absolutely adore. To accessorize the outfit, I went for a sleek brown belt along with my tan fringe bag and block heels. Taking cue from Deepika, I parted my hair in the middle and wore it down. Make-up wise I went for kohled eyes and bright red lips to amp up the look.

Floral Drop Waist Dress

Hello Chicas,

Today's outfit post is a casual one which I recently wore for a lunch date with my girlfriends. I wore this cute floral drop waist dress that is a bodycon dress with a flared hem. Wearing a small flower print outfit is one way to distract attention from the problem areas. So curvy women should totally avoid big prints. As the dress was a short one, I went for smaller block heels and gave my usual sky high heels a miss. Recently I read somewhere about how French girls match shoes with their dresses which I found really cool and would love to share with you all. So it goes like, if the outfit you are wearing is above the knee pair it with flats and for the ones below the knee style it with high heels. So that's how you strut like a French girl. A red cross body sling with a matching red reflective sunnies completed the look.

Fearless in Red!

Hello Chicas,

Monsoon is in full swing here in Kolkata making it impossible to shoot. All I'm doing these days is sitting at home and watching back to back seasons of Game Of Thrones and I'm totally in love with it. I'm awestruck by the grandeur of the places it has been shot in, the intriguing characters and the fashion, from royal medieval inspired gowns to elegant hairdos.

Coming to the OOTD, this is one outfit which worked out the way I had planned in my head. The red asymmetrical wrap skirt is a recent buy from F21, I think I own their entire online collection and they should definitely consider me their brand ambassador. :D :P This wrap skirt can be styled in various ways from a formal shirt to a relaxed Cami. I have paired it up with a tiger print top which has these black chain straps adding a sexy edge to it. The strapy heels I'm wearing are my new found love and a total eye grabber. As the shoe was loud and center of attention, I avoided accessorizing and went with classy red lips and cat eye frames.

Hello Chicas,

How are you all doing? I'm totally home bound these days, preparing for my exams having no time for myself due to which my workout regime has gone for a toss. Can't wait to hit the gym again.

Coming to today's outfit, it's a casual summer attire. The pleated maxi skirt is the center of focus of today's outfit which I have paired with a graphic print crop top to dress down the look. This maxi skirt is currently a favorite in my wardrobe, the reason being its beautiful leaf green hue and the amazing fit. Also, it's flowy silhouette makes it a comfortable wear in this scorching heat.

Accessorized the outfit with retro round sunnies, chain linked neck-piece worn as a bracelet and a studded envelope clutch. And of course Ruby Woo lips to up the glam quotient. :)

Enjoy the pics.

Red Tux Jacket with Monochrome Joggers

Hello Chicas,

Firstly, thank you all for your wonderful wishes on my last post. Those sweet words were really encouraging, keep them coming. :)

Winters are at full swing in Calcutta these days and it's the best time to flaunt those long jackets and booties. I'm totally enjoying the cold spell with homemade delicacies by dearest mommy and shopping online under the blanket.

Coming to today's outfit; I have styled a red tux jacket from Dorothy Perkins which I recently purchased from Jabong. So happy to see international labels finally available online in India. As the tux jacket looked more formal, I have added a monochrome jogger pant to make it a more fun and casual outfit. I hate winters for the monotonous blazers and jackets which I try to make it more lively by pairing them up with printed or colorful bottoms. I'm obsessed with jogger pants these days, they are so comfy that I can actually sleep in it. Apart from the comfort factor, they come in a wide variety so you can style it as per the occasion.

Accessory wise, I have added a red clutch and ankle length suede boots. Also, some arm and ring party to pep up the look.
