Hey everyone
Matching sets are literally the easiest and the most versatile piece you can have in your closet. Wear as a set or wear the bottom with a different top and vice versa. 3 easy outfits min without using ur brain!!! I think i have said these lines before! LOL!!! Anyways i can’t really stress enough how convenient they are and I strongly suggest getting one for summer and one for winter.
I have worn this check matching shirt and pant set from People Tree atleast five times in the last month pairing with different tops and bottoms and the great part about it is that it is pretty warm keeping me cosy and toasty. In todays outfit i thought of doing subtle print mix with leopard loafers and glittery red socks. Topped off with my leather jacket to add edginess (wardrobe basic) to the relaxed effortless look.
What i wore- matching pant set- people tree, jacket- topshop, shoes- topshop, socks- happy socks
For the last 3 or so months i have been thinking about simplifying life, looking for more meaning, deeper experiences and leading a more conscious functional life. I don’t know if its age or the people in my life with such personalities or so many of my online friends here in the blogging world but yes i see a change in the things and experiences that truly make me happy.
I now seek a more conscious meaningful life and in that direction with great pride and pleasure i present to you, People tree, a brand that is a pioneer in ethical and sustainable fashion. Their mission is to make customers feel good about wearing a product that not only looks great but is also made with respect to the planet and its people. Following the principles of Fair Trade in every aspect of their business here are some of their brand highlights:
- The worlds first clothing company to receive the world fair trade organization fair trade product mark in 2013.
- Believers of slow fashion i.e standing up against pollution, child labour, exploitation an opposite and an alternative to fast fashion which has devastating impact on the planet.
- People Tree developed the first integrated supply chain for organic cotton from farm to final product and the first organisation anywhere to achieve GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certification on a supply chain entirely in the developing world.
- They source as many products as they can locally, choosing natural and recycled products over synthetic and non-biodegradable materials.
- Majority of the products are hand woven and shipped by sea to minimize global warming.
- Majority of the cotton is certified organic and fair-trade and azo free dyes are used.
- They believe that fair trade and organic does not have to be not fashionable so they have transformed ethical into contemporary, accessible and desirable also collaborating with leading designers to come with unique collections.
Major crush on these loafers they add the perfect effortless chic notes to any outfit! And navy and black yes please!!!
What i wore- matching pant set- people tree, jacket- topshop, shoes- topshop, socks- happy socks
There is a long mile ahead in the direction of becoming and living a conscious lifestyle but i am happy that i have atleast realized!

Hey everyone
Leopard is one my favourite prints to wear!! Its almost always in fashion, one pattern or the other. I love that it has an edgy yet classy kinda vibe, totally up my road. Having said that I understand it can be a difficult pattern to rock all out for everyone so here are a few ways you can rock leopard print in a more subtle way:
- Belt- Belting is a great way to enhance your figure and a leopard belt can make quite a statement, so you can wear an all black outfit or all classy pieces and just add an edgy leopard belt to make the outfit fresh and trendy!
- Shoes are another great way to rock the leopard print specially leopard pumps and loafers.
- On the lapels or collar of a jacket/ blazer- If an all out leopard jacket/ blazer is intimidating choose one with the iteration on collars and lapels.
- Leopard scarf/ neckerchief- A pop of print around the neck is a great idea, pair with any solid outfit or even a great way to mix prints.
- Leopard print bag- fold over clutches or a sling bag or even a tote.
- Choose patterns that are more subtle and the colours a bit muted so then you can even go for a full leopard print coat or jacket, ill try finding one and link it below.
To put it short, if you love leopard print but can’t bring yourself to be dressed in it, add it to your outfits in the form of accessories!!!

Hey everyone
With
winters comes the great task of taking care of woolens and the most important
and daunting task is washing, I am always scared to wash my woolens as many
many times in the past they have come out deformed. Thankfully for the last two years I
have been following a process of washing which is working 100%, also thanks to
my uncle’s great tips who is in the dry cleaning business, so today I thought
of sharing it here but before that i want to share a story, In the first winter after my sisters marriage her mom in law asked her if she knew how to wash woollens and she very easily said yes, thinking whats the big deal, so she was given the responsibility to wash her father in laws favourite sweater, to everyones horror it came out half its size as i used the normal soap to wash!!!!! Now to the tips:
Hand wash/
dry clean- it's fine to hand wash unless the wash care instruction says dry
clean only.
What to
wash woollens with- This is really the main deal, powder detergents no matter
how expensive contain soda which is very corrosive and robs off colour and
style from our favorite woolens and
after losing many of my favourite knits in the wash I was quite frightened by
the thought of washing my woolens, luckily
my dear uncle came to my rescue and suggested Godrej Ezee, and since then woolen
care has been a breeze, the packaging is very convenient to use and store and there are many easy to choose size options, Ezee being a zero
soda formula cleans gently and the new Godrej Ezee is pH neutral in built
fabric conditioner that gives woolens a very pleasant fragrance, is even better.
Good aroma is very important as our mind associates good smell as clean and
fresh and also of course it also helps in easy storing of woolens. I literally
swear by their tagline 'Ragdo mat, take it ezee'
How to wash woollens- Soak the woollens in a bucket of cold water add some GodrejEzee and then rinse gently after 30 mins.
After wash- Never wring or hang your woolens or the weight of the water will make them loose their shape. Just lay them flat on a towel and gently squeeze the water and then lay flat to dry in shade.
Ironing- if not needed, not ironing is better but if you have to make sure the iron setting is changed to wool.
I really
hope you can make use of the above tips and product recommendation to not only
keep your woolens style and colour but also their warmth.
Thank you

Hey everyone!
Today i want to talk about a much loved brand for indian wear, BIBA, that has been spreading the joys of traditional indian wear since 1986. I have personally shopped at BIBA quite a few times most recently a gift from my grandmom when i visited her house for the first time after my wedding, very well remember wanting to buy all the pieces in the shop! lol!!
I specially love their latest Anarkali suit collection, Anarkali is a an extremely elegant and universally flattering style of salwar kamiz with an A line frock style upper and a slim fitting bottom, its also the preferred choice of indian wear of celebrities from the Indian subcontinent. What i specially love about the Biba Anarkali collection and why i am talking about it, is the variety, they have so many prints and colours and styles at reasonable prices, perfect for any occasion that you have to wear Indian. Also specially want to mention the sizes, they literally have it all!
How to style Anarkali suit-
Jewellery to wear- If you choose a bold piece, keep the jewellery min and let the suit be the centre of attention and vice versa.
Shoe style to wear- Open toe high heels give you hieght and make the look more formal, for casual occasions go for flats or juttis.
How i love to wear in 2017- Choose a white or plain design like the first one above and top it with colourful tassel earrings, heaven!!!
I have chosen a few of my favourites from the BIBA anarkali collection, above, but you can check the whole collection at their online shop.
