Clean white love.

You know what could be the issue with Fashion or Life in the bigger perspective, may be caring too much about it ?

I said it again.

Everyday I come across people or friends who make a livelihood out of this Industry, more often than not I would wonder behind the spotlights, beautiful people, gorgeous closets, it could be a superficial place?

But at the same time your style speaks for what you are, and that's so comforting for us few.
Clothes bring us so much joy, playing with colors, muted outfits or our glamorous ways.

I mean most Fashion Bloggers would agree to this or people who make a living out of it. I mean our love-hate relationship with Fashion.

Just a food for thought, before my move the focus of this post on my outfit.

But also I have come to realize that I dress personally according to my body type & still appreciate the trends I cant wear from the sidelines ( borrowed lines) but its true.

Saying all the philosophical things (or not) White remains as pure or real love. You can stand simple but stand out, in a white outfit. Just don't forget to be playful!

Summer appropriate is just cherry on the cake, right?
Fashion without functionality is passe hence I am stepping into my rose gold sliders everyday. A bindi is as hip as retro lenon shades.

What I Wore :

White lacey Dress with print , & Lenon shades in purple tints: Street Find( Yes!)
Bag : YSL
Bangles    : Shop Chic Saga ( Friend's label)
Studded neck piece in emerald : Blur Store

Rosegold slider : ALDO SHOES

Shuffling between two cities, working(for a lack of better word) up on new job, a lot of compulsive shopping sums ups my summer so far.

I am heading to Rishikesh coming weekend for rafting and some chugging, really looking for some respite.
Before I pack my bags and leave for a big trip.

I want to shoot more often than I do, so much inspirations but till then will try and make more from less time.

Summer means Candy time!

Until Next

Amazon India Fashion Week - Day 2

'The Silver Theory'

The creative process can't be forced, which is why we bloggers dress up as per the mood's whimsies and let loose our creative streaks. The dress up part is a part of the creative process, if it makes sense to you.

Inspiration strikes at all times in all places and the most expected place is as I say the hipper mecca, Fashion week where we birdies breathe fashion for a week. Of course, you don’t always have the chance for that kind of ping-pong back and forth. 

Modern India, as the theme goes for this Fashion week at Amazon India by FDCI,it is definitely coming of age, where we accept & wear our culture & ethnicity with elan, with our all modern twists but sticking with the roots.

The worthy designers took the eclectic textile heritage of India forward through intelligent silhouettes, keeping with the needs of us modern women.

We saw two firsts this time, the accessory show & only menswear show, showed with ingenuity, loved every bit of it, as we strutted show to show with evoked passion for fashion & its intricacies. 

A huge shout out to the teams that well put together these stories we can absorb, these concepts & beauty in the details of the garments, the music, the special effects, the props and all the shiny sweat that goes behind pulling this off. Most of the shows I could attend were intense & memorable.
Favorite being Anavila, Pero, Pankaj & Nidhi & Sanchita.

As far as personal style goes, I never cease to lay emphasis on comfort & Mood/instincts. This summer I am feeling a lot of white & silver mixing together to create fusion renditions, with a modern twist.

On the Runway, Niki Mahajan’s all white & red ethnic collection stole my heart. Trend alert says, we are going to see a lot of white this season, more than ever.

A white sequined shirt, Holographic clutch (looks silver here), rolled up denims, popping beaded headband, silver reflectors again & high tops sums up my Indian modern outfit.
Bummer that I have my media tag on, but not with any intentions. And my Silver theory says mix it up with everything as I am taking it to my board room meetings as well with white linen crisp shirts, Funk it up with silver.

What I Wore :

White sequinned shirt , Holographic clutch & neon headband : Forever 21 
Ripped Denims : Vero Moda
Silver hand bangle & neck piece  : Mom's closet
High tops : Aldo

As soon as I get some more time, I will hit off my snooze button & write some more interesting show interpretations & trend approximations. 

I have been told today, I am wearing a lot of colors already so early Holi Greetings to all the readers.

Love, colors & peace.

Until Next

'Out of the Woods'

Let's tie all loose ends, or may be not, as we usher into the new year!

Close your eyes & what do you see?
Often my mother would ask me as a child, and it would be a perfect alibi from reality. From dust or sheen,
from mess or clean.

Reunited with that perfect alibi, when my photographer asked me to shut the eyes & embrace the morning & we created storyboard 'Out of the woods'

I felt calm & rebellious at the the same time, when happy feelings coincide, you know!
I have ranted enough on the blog, how I m not a morning person, but this morning has compelled me to become one. Welcoming , more Morning experiments. This is just one blog-post, probably one of the only early morning shoots, I have attempted and believe me it worked like a mind-spa.
Oh my bucket list has already begun!!

Coming to the Outfit, I thought of applying Pareto principle or whats called a 80-20 Rule, in real life.
To explain , its a rule of Vital few, which means pretty basic closet pieces like a Black sheer shirt, a long neck piece and a pastel pleated long slit skirt. Softer hues are so perfect for mornings.
A good outfit for a day albeit , you considered to take a walk in the woods before you hit your work space. Just losing yourself in a labyrinth of little streets.

Actually I had packed light for my work trip, so this was making the most of the limited closet I had. But it was refreshing to create something so impromptu. That's what real Fashion challenges are. And Yes, I totally wore this to work with minute changes. *slow claps*

Now , its your turn, to take a walk in the woods, mmm come with me ?

What I Wore (OOTD):

Black sheer shirt : By Spring Break (Online store)
Pastel soft peach shade pleated skirt & neck piece by : Forever 21
Photography by: Babul Bhatt Photography
Special Mention to this guy for being so versatile & I wish our paths cross more often & may be cities in this case. For any Fashion/ Creative shoots, his vision is perfect as a photographer & creative direction.

May the Lights guide you home, wishing everyone behind the desk a very warm and happy new year ahead. More stories coming up, wishes up my aisle.

Lots of Love

'Wander & Meander' - In Cape Season!

She is free in her wildness, she is a wanderess, a drop of free water. 
She knows nothing of borders and cares nothing for rules or customs. 
 'Time' for her isn’t something to fight against.
Her life flows clean, with passion, like fresh water.” Said Roman Payne

Untold, little secrets? I wander & meander too often, sometimes in my comfortable silk linens & sometime in a flowing Cape.

This outfit is Classy & Fabulous, just as Coco Chanel wanted you to be.

You can get Pull this with Drop of a Hat, gather your Blacks, throw a Cape, Pick you bright Bag,
seriously you are good to go (Sic: I don't like word serious, that much but for lack of better word)

From Time to time, trespassers noticed and complimented on the Cape, as much as it deserved the attention at the Fashion week.

A Fashion girl will truly be loyal to her Cape, Forever. Are you?
Last I styled it was for a Fusion Look for Post 'Float Around' Feat Jaypore
