As simple as that

Ok, I'll admit it.There are days when I'm so lazy to put thought into my outfit . Sometimes all I want to do is roam around in leggings and an over sized tee. But you wouldn't want to be caught like you just walked out of yoga class now, would you? So here's what I do. Stick to basics. Yep. For me, that's the combination of denim and black or denim and white.Whatever you go for, alwys remember: you must own a good pair of jeans and by that I mean- good quality, exceptionally good fit (tight in the right places) and a good denim wash.All my jeans are from mango. I love the super skinny "Alice" range!
I try and add a little bit of color with my accessories. Either I'll wear a bright colored shoe or my handbag will stand out.

Note how I haven't over-done the green by adding green shoes as well. Instead, I matched my golden glitter shoe to my necklace and cuff.

It's as simple as that!

DRAMA, Drama, Drama...

 The easiest way to sport a dramatic look? Red lips, slightly smoky eyes and accents of red. Now this isn't a typical day time look. I was just playing around with pieces in my wardrobe and came up with this look. As un-wearable as it may be during the day time, I think this makes a great night time outfit for those festive family dinners. Anyway, let me tell you more about this look. I'm, actually wearing a dress and a cardigan under the skirt! The golden bit under the crochet is a short mango brocade dress and I've worn a crochet cardi back ways and tucked it into my skirt!

Don't be afraid to wear on your cardi back ways. I've done it lots of times and it can be pulled off as a backless top! Try it out for yourself! Just make sure you tuck it in.
P.S : Not all cardigans will work. Only lightweight jersey, crochet or lace!

Summer Brights!

Working with colors during hot summer days is probably the easiest thing to do. You don't have to stick to two colors. You can even combine three in moderation to create a bold statement. Just make sure you know your color wheel and that's it. 

I've done it all- Blue and yellow, yellow and green, green and red, red and yellow, red and blue, blue and green, blue and pink and here i am yet again working with brights. This time it's green and pink. You don't always have to match your bag to your shoe. Note now I've matched the shoe to the scarf and the top to the bag.You can similarly play match with accessories like a belt or a statement necklace.It could even be your nail polish, like I've always said before.It's all about proportion here so don't be afraid to color block like crazy this summer.Remember to wear happy colors and wear what you love but don't go overboard with 5 colors, unless you're getting paid at your nephew's birthday party! Happy almost-end-of-summer you guys! Winter, I'm ready for you.

PS: I've worn scarves all summer long. Lightweight cotton and silk that is!

Have I told you lately that I Love you?

You know whats more fun than a normal pony tail? A pony towards the side of your head! Paired with the right outfit, it can really make you look fun, quirky and effortlessly cool. Don't be afraid to work different hair styles. It's summer so we're all allowed to put up our hair however we like, as long as its out of our faces.
Make sure you don't don this up do when wearing formals. That will just look out of place. So unless it's casual Thursday at work, don't sport this look to work. I'm currently obsessed with stripes and tartan, so excuse me if i throw in a lot of white and black stripes and checks your way :)

On another note, I cant wait for winter, I hate summer! Also, let me just take this opportunity to remind you guys how much your support means to me! I just got my adsense activated from Google and its all because of you guys. Have I mentioned lately that I love you all?

My easy Grecian hairdo tutorial

So a lot of you have been asking me about the twisted hairdo I've been wearing lately. It's really very easy and I love working this look when my hair's just being crazy . It's also great to wear at parties and even weddings!
Before we begin, I must inform you guys that it's better to style your hair this way 1 day after a hair wash. It stays better and looks much more sleek.
So to begin, all you need is a hair brush, 2 strong bobby pins, a strong elastic and the bun maker/ donut clip.
1. Start by parting your hair in the center, just halfway to the back.
2. From one side, start twisting a small section of the hair. Make sure you keep taking smaller sections from underneath (at the hairline) and adding it into the twist. See the pictures below for a better idea.
3. Once you've twisted the hair, stop a little after the ears and secure it with a bobby pin.
4. Repeat the process on the other side.
5. Tie a pony a little up, not too high , at the nape of your neck. A low bun is always elegant.
6. After you've secured the pony, use the donut clip and make a bun. Don't know how to make the bun with this easy clip? Watch how to on my video by clicking HERE.
7. Add in a flower or any accessory if you like.
8. TIP: You can also wear a diamante elastic headband before starting the hairdo so the band peeks out at the top!

Easy peasy no? Share your thoughts below girls!

That messy corner in my room.

Hey guys! So I finally got back from my one month vacation in India. It feels so good to be back home, in my room, with all my shoes and clothes and bags. Sigh. How I've missed them all.
Anyway,Here are a few of my closet confessions:
  • I keep all my flat shoes out on a shoe rack in my room. That way, it's easier to pick out what I want to wear once I've put on clothes.I do not wear heels everyday. They're in my shoe closet on the other side of the room, some boxed up and kept away only for occassions.However, I do keep 2-3 pairs of my comfiest heels out because I usually start the week in heels to work.
  • I have a bag tree.It was a gift from my sister on my last birthday.Yes. It looks messy and cluttered. But thats just how I like it. These are only half of my collection. They're what I like to call my "everyday bags".
  • I keep all my accessories out open. It's easier for me to look into a box and decide what I'm going to wear for the day. I do,however, box up all my silver and gold.
P.S: I'd love to do a closet tour, but guys, You wouldnt want to go in there. Trust me. Lol.
xxoo
