Hey everyone!
Fashion week is all about creating unique and statement looks. I am so happy that it is possible not just by statement pieces but also solids and clean pieces, the trick is only in combining. This look sure has a few trends going but everything is very clean and minimal even though its colour.
It was day 5 and i had been dying to rock my fav handbag brand VVA. Their bags as mentioned in this post are really a dream and a blessing and this style was no different. I love my loose, flowey outfits and this structured bag is a great contrast to not just this but so many of my looks. Their autumn winter arrival has gorgeous colours and the tassels are a dream too. We associate shoes and comfort and a handbag is no diff in my opinion. If we can have one that looks good, holds everything well in diff pockets we do feel a lot comfortable. Isn’t it!!! And that is how VVA makes me feel, COMFORTABLE.
My shoe boot with side lace up detail is one of my fav purchase as said in this post and they literally make any outfit more fun yet not too flashy.
Wearing dresses with pants Is probably my fav thing to do come autumn, to make more use out of my dresses and also be appropriately dressed for the weather. But i was not very sure of combining these two styles together as they are both so loose but when i put it on it was perfect, i guess its not just the fit that is important but also the cut.
These wide leg trousers in the hot color of the season pink are so comfy and can be worn so many ways, love the drama they add to outfits and loose shirt dresses are so versatile, wear them as it is or with pants and this one is in velvet , need i say more!! So love the combination of the two jewel tones, emerald bag and sapphire dress with soft pink, making it look very fresh.
I changed my outfit on the last day so i have one more look to show you from this years fashion week so stay tuned for that.
Thank you for stopping by! See you in my next one.

Hey everyone! Who doesn't want healthy and youthful skin forever, i sure do. But all the stress of modern life and pollution takes a toll on our skin and makes it age sooner than it should. After 25 i became conscious of the word age and decided to take proactive steps to keep my skin looking healthy and youthful. I started reading about skin and learnt about home remedies, topical creams and also clinical skin tightening procedures.
Though there are many blog posts on home remedies and topical creams not much is written about the skin tightening procedures that are very much a reality of todays time, its really surprising how so many people might sign up for a procedure without really knowing what it entails or what to expect from it. So, i have put some answers to common questions about skin tightening procedures that can help prepare for a visit to the skincare clinic.
Will Skin Tightening Work on Your Skin?
First obvious question that you should be asking is whether or not your skin can actually be treated with a skin tightening procedure or is it for u? The answer is- It all depends on your skin, the skin type, the severity of wrinkles and sags. Some laser devices and other skin tightening procedures only work on certain skin types or shades. Second, some of them are only meant to treat mild or moderate wrinkles and sags and some skin can only be treated surgically, so its better to analyze our skin first and then consult a good dermatologist and get ur skin checked before
What Types of Skin Tightening Procedures Are Available?
There are a lot of ways to tighten skin, depending on how loose it actually is and other factors, such as age and the location of the sags or wrinkles. One option is to use sound wave treatments to encourage your body to make more of its own natural collagen. Those treatments are easy and have almost no side effects, but they also aren't as powerful as other options, such as laser procedures.
The fact is that clinical laser machines can be much more powerful than intense pulsed light (IPL), sound wave treatments like radio frequency procedures, and many other options. So, if you have moderate skin sags, you may need to look into your laser procedure options.
Are the Results of Skin Tightening Procedures Permanent?
One big question is will your treatment produce permanent results? The answer is no. Skin sags and wrinkles more as we get older, regardless of which skin treatment we have. Everyone's skin changes from year to year, especially as natural levels of substances like elastin and collagen in the body drop off with age. So, we may need to have repeated treatments, regardless of which type of skin tightening method we use.
Who Can Perform Skin Tightening Procedures?
Technically, who can perform skin tightening procedures depends on the procedure type. There are even at-home treatments that we can use on ourselves. However, for a more involved treatment, it is advisable to go to a certified clinician. And when you do make sure to question their credentials and certifications carefully before letting them treat you.
How Much Will Skin Tightening Procedures Cost You?
A final thing to consider is the cost of skin tightening procedures. It really varies from clinic to clinic and depends on the clinic's certification and equipments and also on the type of skincare procedure you choose and how often you go in for repeated treatments. In general treatments in cities and other busy areas tend to be more expensive than they would be at clinics in less urban areas.
Those are some general facts that are good to be aware of about clinical skincare treatments.

For day 4 at fashion week i decided to wear my beautiful lace slip dress and sneakers from Finery that i showed you in this post. Feminine dress with sporty shoes is just my thing, u guys know i love contrast. This lace one has a square neck which makes it quite diff from the usual v neck style slip dresses, it looks and feels like a designer piece but its actually just higher end high street price. Not just the pieces i am wearing, everything at finery is on the lines of modern, sophisticated but accessible and at top quality.
What i wore- dress- finery, shoes- finery, necklace- finery, sweater- boohoo, bomber jacket- h&m, back pack- stradivarius sold out, similar
I am all in for updated versions of classic pieces like this slip on white shoe with buckle detail and this black sweater with frill shoulder detail. When going for minimal or monochrome looks i try to put together pieces with details to make my outfit more interesting.
One of the perks of being an accredited blogger at the fashion week was that I could get my hair at Toni and guy and makeup at maybelline, done at no charge. So later in the day I decided to get my lips perfected and my hair done into this beyond wow braid.
What i wore- dress- finery, shoes- finery, necklace- finery, sweater- boohoo, bomber jacket- h&m, back pack- stradivarius sold out, similar
I wanted to create a look that was sporty, dark and a bit edgy but also effortless and romantic so i mixed feminine details like lace, the slip style, the frills, my hair in a messy braid with edgy details like the dark lips, the color black and sporty details like the sneaker, the bomber jacket around the waist and the backpack.
It was quite an interesting look that got me many compliments at the fashion week

Hey everyone! To take full advantage of the no rain situation on day 3 i decided to wear my lace dress in the colour of the season rusty orange. But no rain didn’t mean hot, the temp was around 17 degrees c so i had to cover my legs and what better occasion to bring out the loved OTK boots. This one from Daniel Footwear hits all the right boxes for the city. They are two tone i.e the front is suede and the back is look like leather, the detailing makes them a lot interesting and the flat heel is such a relief for a city like London where u r either walking or on public transport and even more if you are constantly on the go, like during fashion week when i had to walk from one show to another, though they were all in close vicinity but still a walk of around 10-15 mins and to do that multiple times you have to be wearing comfortable shoes like these.
Apart from its own brand Daniel, Daniel footwear also stocks brands like Alexander Wang, Stuart Weitzman, Charlotte Olympia, Kendal+Kylie, etc and they deliver worldwide.
What i wore- Dress- Boohoo, Vest- Asos (sold out) (similar), Belt- Asos, Bag- Furla, Shoes- Daniel footwear
Gone are the days of not pairing navy with black. Infact its the trendy thing to do and i absolutely love the combo. Check this look here.
This bag holds up everything! The gold detailing is spot on.
What i wore- Dress- Boohoo, Vest- Asos (sold out) (similar), Belt- Asos, Bag- Furla, Shoes- Daniel footwear
i was sold on the sleeves and the colour of this dress! Dramatic flare sleeves are such a rage right now and orange is the colour of autumn/ fall, so it was a win win. I wanted to pair my playful and trendy dress with something more formal and classic to keep the effortless chic vibe going so i chose my pinstripe gillet/ vest and cinched it at the waist with my western belt so to not loose my shape and the result was a look that was flirty but also sophisticated.

Hey everyone! I thought it would be better to do a post just with the shows so u have it all together. As you all know it was my first season of fashion week and i was completely awe struck by the energy at the shows, when the models sashayed down the runway with the music in the background, the photographers in action and the who's who of the blogging world, celebrities and media in attendance. I was late for my first show but after that i made sure i reached much before time and be on my seat to see my favorite people come and take their seats. I definitely wanted to check out their outfits as much as i wanted to see the shows.
The shows
Burberry and British fashion go together , more than the designs and cuts what i loved most was the styling. All the layering is such an inspo for the autumn winter weather as well.
Topshop Unique- Move over the leopard print, the Zebra is the new IT print. It usually takes a good couple of months for the collections to be available for purchase but this year for the first time you can buy straight after the show aka 'see now buy now'
Paul Smith- The loose pant suit with slides, i would give it a go for sure!
Sid Neigum- Loved the cuts and movement, again slides are here to stay.
Pringle of Scotland- Cobalt was a surprise but a pleasant one, loved the mixed checks, they can do no wrong.
Preen- case of extreme ruffles and the mix of feminine and masculine. obsessed with the ruffles at the knee.
Mother of Pearl- athletics mixed with feminism and statement shoes.
Molly Goddard- Midi lengths, the color pink, net and the beautiful hair.
House of Holland- Gingham checks with mesh, dark florals and ruffles whats not to love.
Barbara Casasola- All about luxurious fabrics and minimalism.
Simone Rocha- struck by the print mix, cuts and texture play and the interesting new way of wearing coats on one shoulder.
Cristopher Kane - mesh and metallics rule
Emilio de la morena- such a beautiful collection, i could wear everything. loved the net overlay.
Ashish- the most spell binding show of the season. face painted models, men wearing ladies clothes, bold colors and embroidery strutting the runway while classical indian music played in the backdrop.
What i didn't see- short and mini lengths and too form fitting.
Clear trends- Ruffles everywhere, loose silhouettes, fabrics with movement, midi lengths, minimalism with details, wide leg pants, shoulder and sleeve details, net and mesh, colors- white, pink, blue, red and yellow.
This was the first fashion week after Britain's vote to exit the European union and i could feel that sentiment come up, as a lot of buyers and media come from Europe for the event but there was a positive vibe around and no shortage of playfulness.
I will do a separate post on the presentations so stay tuned for that, See you in my next one.

Hey everyone
Day 2 at London fashion week was much more in control as i had figured out my way around brewer street car park where the fashion week is being held. Its right in the heart of Soho and the convenient tube stations are Piccadilly circus and Tottenham court road. If you know Soho you would know its the heart of the city and there are hundreds of eating and chilling places around so theres lots to do as it is. The weather was supposed to be better than day 1, thankfully no rain so i decided to wear my tulle skirt. Wanted to pair my girly skirt with a bit edgier pieces but still keep the look a lot feminine so had Initially planned to wear it with a lace velvet cami top with a military jacket that i had listed in the items i would wear at the fashion week post, so many of you loved it but sadly the fit of the jacket was completely off, it was a size 8 but so big that it could fit one more person so in case you are thinking of getting it remember that its very huge, luckily i had this boyfriend shirt from H&M that i was happy with but not really sure if it would work well with the skirt as it was quite loose and the skirt was fluffy as it is. On the night before i was going through pictures of the bloglovin h&m awards and saw Leandra Madine wear the same shirt so that gave me more confidence and when i wore the outfit all the disheartenment at the jacket not working was replaced by the sense of completely owning the look.
What i wore- Shirt H&M sold out similar, Skirt- Boohoo, Bag- Dune sold out similar, Belt- Asos, Shoes- Topshop, Earrings- H&M sold out similar
Loved the look of a boyfriend shirt tucked into a tulle skirt with super fancy leopard print slingbacks in red. I also feel the western belt was a great addition, added a lot of edginess. Read about accentuating ur figure with belts here
What i wore- Shirt H&M sold out similar, Skirt- Boohoo, Bag- Dune sold out similar, Belt- Asos, Shoes- Topshop, Earrings- H&M sold out similar
This is probably going to be my fav look from the fashion week, very effortless, a lot of diff elements, and super chic. I got a lot of compliments for it and many people asked for pictures so was very glad the initial look i had planned didn't work, lesson learned- sometimes when things don't work out they are actually working in your favor.
Thank you for stopping by! See u in my next one.
