Perfect for both city and beach looks they are literally a lazy girls dream. Pair them with the trending straw bags and you are a summer 2018 perfection.

Presenting to you the benefits of changing houses and these pictures of spring in London but first I want to apologize for the inconsistency and the lack of posts here on Thestyletune. We were moving houses and to tell you honestly i have never been a fan of that. The last months have been very overwhelming with the packing unpacking and then setting up the new place. Its two and a half times the size of our old home which has meant a whole lot of new stuff to be bought, refurbished and diy. Its been entirely consuming and has taken its toll on me both emotionally and physically. Whilst we still are putting in the work to set it up i have come to the realization that moving houses is genius atleast for your wardrobe. Here's why
- An opportunity to do a total declutter. Omg incredible. Even though i have made donating / giving to family and friends pieces from my wardrobe a habit over the last year. Moving out made me declutter like no other. It helped me easily give away things that i was holding on to. A change in place sort of cut the emotional element that is hard to break.
- An opportunity to donate / give to family and friends. This is an extension of the first point. I was able to donate / give 2 bags of clothes 1 bag of shoes 2 bags of bags. I always feel great when i donate / give and the people who get the stuff feel great as well. My cousins are super happy because all the stuff they get is of great quality and they don’t have to shop haha!
- A new way of organization. The new place called for a new setting for my wardrobe and that meant a new and improved way to organize it. Now my wardrobe is organized as per wearability and season as compared to my last wardrobe which was set as per items of a similar kind kept together. A new organization style adds freshness even if the pieces are old and the same.
- An opportunity to identify the shortcomings of the wardrobe. Well after you declutter and give away you can see the gaps. In my wardrobe i see i need a few summer dresses and going out tops.
What i wore - Denim, Sweatshirt, Boots - ZaraWell i have said no city does christmas like london well none does spring as well too!! I am a denim girl and pink with denim is one of my favs reason is balance you know. blue is said to be masculine and pink is said to be feminine and together they are create balance.Would love to know if you have any tips on why and how changing houses is beneficial for your wardrobe.Suggested posts - How to make the perfect guest bedroomLoveChichi

Comparing ourselves or our lives to someone elses is the most ridiculous of things because it breaks the underlying rule of comparison i.e homogeneity. We are all unique and so are our lives and situations. There are not even two people in the world with the same body, mind, soul, upbringing, family, DNA, experiences, work, passions, etc etc. So why even bother comparing. It should not be even said that comparison kills all. Takes happiness away and puts frustration in its place.
Luckily for me i have not got into its trap. Well i wouldn’t say i have never compared myself to anyone but i haven’t been in that state for much time and have been able to zap myself out of it. What helps me? well here they are.
- Understand and consider it 100% true that we do not really know the struggles of other people. So if you find someone with the kind of life that fascinates you remember they have their own struggles and you don’t know how bad they are. There is a big chance that after you learn about the struggle you find your life better off. And you would rather choose your own life than the ‘fascinating life’ full of those struggles.
- Don’t believe anything that you see on social media because people no matter how real they keep it post edited filtered versions of their life. You see those crazy travel pictures in Santorini and wish ah how good is her life. I wish i got to wear what she is wearing and travel to such stunning locales and also get a picture or two. But what you don’t know and see is that for those images one has to be waking up early even on what is supposed to be a holiday, get ready and leave with a few outfits to shoot in a bag ( its heavy). Without having breakfast. Fighting with your partner even, because he is not happy that you turn holidays into work.
- We often are comparing our failures to peoples success. Highlight to back reel. Absurd isn’t it.
- Keep the focus of your life on your self. So when you think, think about what you want to do, what life you want to live, what truly makes you happy, what keeps you inspired, etc. Do not take the focus on what others are doing with their lives.
- Be grateful for the things and people you have in your life. The constant urge for better and better creates restlessness and triggers comparison. Being grateful will always keep you content and happy with what you have and give you inner peace.
- There is nothing called universal perfect. Perfection is what we think is perfect and it does not hold for everyone. So if you really want to look at it you are a perfect person physically, mentally, emotionally. You have the perfect life, family, career, everything because there is no perfect in the world.
- All of us are unique with unique bodies, experiences and thoughts so be confident of yourself. Your uniqueness is your USP! Comparison will make you small, insecure and vulnerable and that is the energy that you will radiate. What a shame isn’t it. Be confident of your unique self and path and remember what is meant for your greatest good will never skip you.
- Accept yourself. The most common comparison women do is comparing their beauty and their body with someone else’s. Remember what i said in point 6. You are just as beautiful and your body just as great as you think it is. In my teenage and most of my 20s i hated my belly fat. My definition of beauty was a girl with a thin waist and i looked at the tiniest waists of models and actreses and that made me feel even worse. So realization came and i accepted my body and trust me it has been the greatest stress relievers of my life. Lol even when i struggled in my mind with my belly fat there were people who told me my body was perfect to them, so you get my point!! If you feel you want to have a certain kind of a body first see the reason you want it. Is it in comparison to someone which should be shunned straight away or for positive reasons like for your health, strength etc.
- The only person you should compare yourself is with the person you were yesterday. So work on your shortcomings, work on the dream life, work on your goals with the aim of out performing your yesterday self and no one else.
- Get inspired but don’t compare. Well there is a very thin line between the two. Often we start with inspiration but move to comparison. Just to spell out the difference inspiration motivates and leads you to pursue your goals in a healthy and positive way whereas comparison demotivates and even though sometimes makes us to pursue goals, does so in a negative way. You never feel content and happy with neither the process nor the achievement.
- Surround yourself with people who clap at your success, inspire you, lift you higher, make you happy and see the greatness in you even when you don’t see it. They add to your well being and indirectly also prevent you from indulging in negative activities like comparison.
What i wore - Trousers, Shoes, Top - Zara
I took these pictures at the stunning St. Aymes cafe London where i had wanted to visit ever since Such a beautiful pretty cafe and i love their cupcakes!! And so instagrammable! Cant wait to go back.

Once found in board rooms and offices of fashion magazines and the likes, the pant suit is now being found in cafes and streets and i can’t be happier. It automatically translates to empowerment of the female species. I did feel a lot powerful when i wore this red hot number on the streets of Paris. You guys know red is one of my favourite colours and if i was going to wear a trouser suit there could be no better colour than it!!
This year the trending pant style is the wide leg, good it suits my body type and the double breasted is my favourite in blazers so i didn’t even pay second thought when i spotted the set in Zara. What i also love about a trouser suit just like any matching set is that you have more than 3 outfits in one!! Styling is pretty simple as well, just decide on the top and shoes and you are done. Going by my effortless chic style, i wore mine with a graphic tee, black sock boots and big black button earrings as the only accessory to frolic along the Seine with the Eiffel tower in the background.

Heading to Paris anytime of the year, here are a few essentials that must be packed in the suitcase. I say anytime because these are just classic items that go with the Parisian style all year long. The Parisian style that draws me to the city more than the city itself, haha !! Its really the mecca of effortlessness and i just can’t stop wondering how they do it. And in such majority!!! An average person on the Parisian street is far better dressed than a fashion conscious person elsewhere!!! Such a stylish city, hence!!
- Small block heels or kitten heels or flat shoes- There is no way you can do the cobbled streets in high heels so best leave them at home.
- The colours - The two colours that top are navy and red. Parisians love red and navy be it in the accessories or their outfit!!! The other colours are shades of beige, khaki, brown, white, black. In short neutral colours.
- Beret - It was everywhere on the streets of Paris during my trip and i couldn’t be happier. So yes do pack a beret and make it red if possible!
- A trench coat - Paris weather is quite close to London’s. Bright and sunny and begins to rain!! So a trench is a must. If its cold you can add layers inside and good to go.
- A tote bag with a zip that can keep all the essentials for your day out. Camera, charger, umbrella, etc. I say with a zip because Paris is super touristy and just like any touristy city got to be careful of pick pocketing.

Its official the wide leg trousers are the biggest bottom trend for 2018. I spotted them everywhere in Paris last week and we all agree the streets of Paris are the trendiest and the chicest streets in the world. The skinnies are classics now so don’t fret but if trend is of any sense to you than the wide leg it is. I always loved them because i think just like the skinny they suit my body shape very well but on one point they beat the skinny i.e they make me look cooler. I prefer cool over hot so obviously!!!
I wore this outfit on my first day in Paris last week and i felt absolutely in sync with the Parisians. Effortless and chic. And yes the wide leg trousers were in flocks on the streets of Paris.
The trench coat makes the look even more cool and the block heels perfect to get the silhouette right and also walk around chic Paris in style.
I was in Paris for 4 days so i have a couple of outfits and a travel post coming up.
