You know you are in Mumbai when the festivities are in the air at this time of the year. Ganesh Chaturthi is one of the most celebrated festivals in this part of the world. It marks the beginning of the festive season and all that a girl needs is more reasons to buy, make and take out the Indian-wear all dressy and flouncy and rich.

I am as girly as girly gets, never been a tomboy, though I love the grunge as much as the bling , I take my love for wearing Indian wear to a whole different level during the festivities.

So my lovelies in the weeks and months your truly is going to photo document as many possible of my Indian wear looks and share with you.Officially I have more reasons to dress up , its my job too… hehehehhee all in the name of work you see…. I just love my job….. dressing up doesn’t even feel like work you see…. 😉

By no mean does it mean I don’t work hard enough. Like you guys know I also also Style Coach people and help them dress , look and feel good. It gives me immense happiness to see the transformations and the joy of seeing happiness in the eyes of my clients and the confidence in their gait……. it sure is a priceless feeling.

So, I was at the Lakme Fashion Week last week and as always it is a joy to see the veteran, new and upcoming talent all at the same platform. Some are quirky and some classic, some love their cottons and some their silks. It is an awesome platform to meet new and talented designers on the block, there is where I met the very lovely Designer Mrunalini Rao from Hyderabad. She loves designing Indian wear and her outfits were classic and gorgeous. See for your self….

Without being over the top and just the right bling is her style. The lehengas designed by her had gorgeous use of embroidery and just the right mix of colours. and are the kind you would wear to a wedding in the family or a friend in a heartbeat,brides who love classic and timeless styling would love them for their trousseau .

I decided to wear one of her outfits for the festivities. Gowns are mostly kept aside for the evenings and yours truly decided to wear it during the day time, this particular gown by Mrunalini is so Indian in its essence that I wore it for the ganesh Chaturthi celebrations. I loved the colour and and a subtle dash of bling . This outfit could be played up by accessorising and using bright makeup for an evening. Since I was wearing it during the day I decided to use a subtle gold hair band as the only accessory and tied my hair in a low bun.

Kept the makeup simple, Just used the Ponds BB cream as a base, which instantly brightens the skin . Eyes were done up in slightly thick eyeliner than I usually wear and some mascara. Some blush and nude Lipstick and I was ready to greet the lord and celebrate the festive in style.

I hope you enjoyed the look. Looking forward to hearing from you.

A pair of jeans are the most style-able garment ever even if styleable isn’t like a word word but I couldn’t think of any other apt description for pair of good ‘ol pair of jeans. They are like your best friend, always there and older they get, snugger they get and it just helps that they are the only garment that look cooler when torn and distressed, this friendship of style goes a long long way…. it is a regular day and I picked my current favourite printed top

I loved this top, it is basic and has a beautiful bird and wild flower motif print all over and I just love anything that has the Indian essence to it, be it print or a traditional indian textile I have a weakness for all that. This was a gift from a dear friend who just knew that I would love it, I guess she knows me too well. The top was love at first sight and ever since I have laid my hands on this top I have worn it whole lot of times as it is super super comfortable and a no brainer when it comes to getting ready in a jiffy wearing with a pair of jeans, shorts , skirt or a flared pant, I wear it with them all.

I just love fish the most as a motif when it comes to accessories, these earrings were love at first sight and I picked all three colors I found and needless to say that I have always been complimented upon wearing these lovely pair. These are so gorgeous and have a old world charm feeling to them which I totally love about them.

Nothing can take your style Q higher than a great red lipstick. Red instantly brightens a regular look but you need to choose the right red because a non complimenting red lipstick can make you look like trying too hard to wear red types, choose the one that enhances your skin tone instead of looking like it has been imposed on you. You should be patient with trying and select the one you feel suits you the most and not pick the first one you could lay your hands on, I love my Mac reds, you can give it a try too…

The sandals are basic with straps and could be worn with a gamut of garments. These one’s I had picked from Forever 21 which is my favourite destination to go look for fun footwear.

A pop of red and a fun accessory added just the little extra swag and took this look from everyday normal to everyday fashion statement for a casual day, you could pretty much go shopping to a dinner with friends in this it adds a dash of very simple drama just enough to keep it simple yet interesting .

Let me know if you found your red lipstick or if you have any style query at [email protected]….ciao
