How I wore my Black Maxi

Black is a magical colour, well if you go by science it is not technically a colour…no …no….don’t start the yawn just as yet no science lessons here…we talk about fashion and anything that takes my fancy…hopefully I keep taking fancy to all things fun so as you keep enjoying my Blog.

I need to absolutely tell you my lovlies that I am absolutely humbled and full of gratitude for all the feedback I have been getting for my writing and the Looks that I create and Photo Document for you all….Much love to you all…..It makes me want to work doubly harder on my baby… my Blog…

When in doubt wear black or so the world says…well I am not taking this up to crusade or rebel against because it is the eternal truth in the fashion Universe and truth be told, whenever in doubt choose black…It is to an extent very Godly colour meaning…wait wait yours truly has a logical reason for that (Ahem Ahem….and one more Ahem…!!!!)…I say that because it is a very forgiving colour…..( I said I have logical explanation….I didn’t mention the degree of logic….!!!! Gotcha….), It is a gorgeous gorgeous colour that makes you look thin too….what else does a girl want in life besides a career, a endless supply of beauty products, 5-8 vacations in a year, gorgeous body without working out, A stylish wardrobe, awesome friends…etc etc etc….just all that and maybe a tad bit more……hahhahaaaaaaa

So I picked this maxi from a thrift shop while out shopping with friend, It was love at first sight and it fitted so well when I tried that I had to absolutely pick it up, My friend too insisted that I should totally buy it, so I bought it….se short story there…no drama just simple go-like-try-buy…..wowie.

It has this gorgeous crochet detailing on the bust and was very soft cotton and plus it was black……everything was working in this maxi’s favour besides the fact that when you shop with friends is that they convince you buy a whole lot then you first set out to shop for….hahahhahahha…Jokes apart I just loved it and finding good summery black maxi is not easy….I think I just got lucky to find it in a thrift shop of all the places…..

So I have been little under the weather….and I think I chose black to lift my spirits and decided to wear the brightest of pink Lipstick. I love how my hair has these natural waves during the monsoons…people generally don’t like how their hair feels in monsoons I am of a different thought all together….well thats me…u see….!!!! So the crux of it all is that I didn’t comb my hair, I was feeling a bit gloomy so I wore my maxi that makes me look like really tall…now that lifted my spirits and I wore a Fuchsia Lipstick…and I was ready …well!!!! something felt missing……ummmmmmm

So out came my mom’s vintage bangle stack that I absolutely love they added a dash of subtle bling..you gotta see the Bangles to believe how gorgeous they are….and I was ready for a shoot….Yup this all just for you all….. so the idea is with a bit of accessory play you could make any outfit a whole lot more interesting.

Let me know how you liked it…and also if you like me to write about any style query that you may have….Would love to know it all… Just leave your comment below……

5 Fashion Trend Predictions from The Lakme Fashion Week 2016

Fashion trends of the near future debut first at the Fashion weeks as they are a peek-a-boo to whats going to be trend in the times to comeand your window to cuts and colours that are going be seen on the streets and everywhere soon. This Post is about my observations about certain styles that were a clear Favourites with a lot of designers and a strong indication near future of fashion everywhere.

Being a fashion Blogger has its perks and living breathing and dressing for the fashion week is one of them. I made it a point to try and watch as many shows as humanely possible , side note, kudos to all the models and organisers who are on their toes all the while, there are so many shows everyday and multiply that with a week if you got your literal math right you would know it is a lot of fashion everywhere. Not to mention the street style which is at its best and a treat whether you are watching the show or just hanging around. Who am I to complain to be in living breathing everything fashion in August company of the best and bestest (excuse my grammar please…;-) )in the business.

Here are my picks from the styles that I believe would be high on Fashion Quotient in the coming months and you should be looking at stacking up these styles and that I have been fan of such fashion for a while does help…

Trend 1:

The Interplay of the fabrics to bring out the subtle drama. This particular one featured here is by the ace designer Dhruv Kapoor. The use of different textures make the garment interesting and can take your style Quotient to an interesting level…. what say, you would most definitely see a lot of similar stuff happening…

Trend 2

I may have always been a big fan of layering and to see the trend scorch the ramp made me super happy. Many designers including my favourite these days Ka Sha (featured below) was big on layering and how. Go all out and have some fun layering your outfits in a fun way and you would be sporting the seasons biggest trend. In summers you might want to keep layering a bit subtle though.

Trend 3

The rise and re-rise of the our heritage. It has never been cooler to sport the Indian Handloom and this year we see more of all that. Western boxy silhouettes in indian textiles and traditional colours I was weak in my knees, this fashion season is all about everything that I have always loved. Be it Meraki Project or Akaaro (featured below) it was a treat for the eyes and would be fun to watch how all they gets emulated on the streets.

Trend 4:

Have fun with the sleeves. Lot of designers gave one sleeve a miss and here I am not talking about the asymmetrical neckline. have a look for yourself, this one featured below is from Garo. You could totally nail this look and standout, and I love that there is so much fun happening even in the ethnic department. Btw that’s me with my dash ofn mix and match ( you just can’t stop me from doing that….)….

Trend 5 :

Quirky prints found flavour with a lot of designers. I feel this trend has been on the edge for a while but now this season it would unleash in different ways around your fashion circle. Love Love Love the Quirk. Think Quirk Box, Masaba or Siddhartha Bansal they all brought the Quirk element to forefront and it is here to stay. Featured below is a Grament from Siddhartha Bansal’s LFW 16 Runway collection.

So get to update your wardrobe with fashion statements before they hit the street……..Until next time….bye
