Hey everyone!
Velvet is the hottest trend of the season, i have said this in 5 posts already! But i can't stop myself and maybe ill say it quite a few times in the future as well, it is just so luxurious and rich and it was high time it became a rage, glad it did. The texture, the shine, the softness and the comfort, all perfect for autumn/fall winter and i am sure all of us will have a couple of pieces before s/s 17. That said, what to do when u r dying to start wearing it but the weather is still not cold enough? My best bet is a shirt dress like this one. Its loose and airy, a lot above the knee and u can definitely squish the sleeves to expose your arms. So there u have it, rocking the fabric/ trend in its full glory without being hot.
This came true for me this day as you can see it was also quite sunny but i was comfortable throughout.
What i wore- Dress Zaful, Shoes- Zaful, Belt- Asos, Choker- River Island, Earrings- River Island, Bag- Asos
Loving the fashion pieces from Zaful ! Their quality is good and very reasonable price.
Going matchy matchy with accessories, why not and in 2016 yes please if its animal print.
Open toe is quite a fun twist to shoes and adds interest.
What i wore- Dress Zaful love this too, Shoes- Zaful, Belt- Asos, Choker- River Island, Earrings- River Island, Bag- Asos
Belting is the answer to give form to anything loose and this leopard print western belt adds a lot of feistiness to the outfit.
Thank you for stopping by! See you in my next one.

Hey Everyone!
Festivals are here and that means get togethers, parties, night outs and a lot of fun. With all the good mood around we sometimes forget on essentials, like what to keep in your bag before heading out for celebrations,
First and foremost Never leave your house without a small clutch or bag, a lot of things can happen and its better to have a few essentials with u in your bag.
1. Perfume and/or Deodorant
Even if the venue is air conditioned, you will be around a number of people and this would definitely make you feel warm or even sweaty while you're dancing for several hours. Body odor is definitely embarrassing, but you can prevent that from happening by simply bringing a trial-size deodorant or perfume with you.
Also, don't forget to pick a deodorant that's invisible, because it can also be humiliating if there are some remnants of it on your dress.
2. Makeup
For special occasions like festivals, weddings or prom we try to look our best, either we go to a saloon or spend several hours at home to ensure that our makeup is perfect-- so to make sure ur makeup stays perfect all night bring a small makeup kit with powder, lipstick, mascara for touch up.
In case you are going to a wedding or prom u might also get emotional and end up crying so do remember to wear water proof mascara. check out these touch up makeup tips worth trying.

3. Sewing Kit
Yes, you read it right. You should bring a tiny sewing kit with you, because anything could happen to the dress you're wearing. No matter how careful you are, there's always the possibility that someone would step on your lovely dress and accidentally rip it up. You don't want this to ruin your night, don't you? So, to prevent that from happening, better bring a small-sized sewing kit that would let you do an emergency dress repair.
If you are buying Indian outfits make sure u get from a dependable shop/ boutique or if u r getting it stitched double check to ensure its proper and incase you are buying dresses like evening dresses/ gowns or prom dresses u can visit Prom Dress Shop in Chicago a specialized one is always better also check this small video to look ur best

4. Mints or Gums
Worried about your breath? Are you thinking that this might prevent you from socializing with others? Stay confident by having a gum or mints with you. Just pop a piece or two in your mouth and you don't have to worry about talking loudly, or close to your friends or date. Mints work best if you'll have them in your mouth after eating or having a drink.
5. Shoe Glue
Yes there are chances of your shoe falling apart, it has happened to me as well as my friends many many times so keep a shoe glue and incase ur shoe breaks, glue and give it sometime, maybe walk in the bathroom to ensure that the shoe will not break again before heading out into the crowd.
6. Hair Essentials
If you'll be dancing the whole night, then your hair may not be as glamorous as it was when you first arrived at the venue. Don't worry, you can easily fix it up by bringing a small bottle of hair spray, small comb, some elastics, and bobby pins.
7. Medication
In case you have some sensitivities to music or food or anything bring your prescribed medicines. Also a basic one since you are going to be excited, nervous, anxious, happy and thrilled, basically too many emotions which can give you headache’s, and you wouldn’t want that to ruin your night so when you start feeling sick, just take a pill and you don't have to worry about leaving the event early.
8. Band Aid
This i never leave home without, blisters are way to disturbing and could actually spoil ur night so unless ur shoes are completely lived in don’t forget to bring bandaid.
9. Money and Your Phone
Last, but definitely not the least would be to ensure that you've brought your card or enough cash with you. Also, don't forget the most important item of todays times the mobile phone.
Jeans- Topshop, Heels- Quiz clothing, Top- Asos( similar), Bag- Dune (similar), Bracelet- the peach box
This outfit is from sometime back that i had forgotten to share and because of the experience i had with my blouse that day, i thought of sharing it today. The sleeve got stuck with a thorny plant and got ripped, luckily i had needle and thread in my bag and could sew it in few mins.
So yes agreed no matter how hard you plan, it's impossible to control or anticipate what could probably happen at big events. All you can do is prepare yourself, and bring the things that you might need. Do share any other item that you think can be added to the list.
Thank you for stopping by! See you in my next one.

Hey everyone!
As the weather changes we all get excited about new clothes and shopping. Be it hot weather or cold weather, after a point we do get bored of the clothes and styles. At least, I do so i thought of putting together must haves for the transitional period and beyond.
Denim- Bottoms we all need for the chill, consider getting frayed or embroidered in straight or flared styles.
1) fringe hem, 2 asymmetrical hem, 3 embroidered
Velvet- the fabric of the season, for everything
1 gym suit, 2 slip dress, 3 shoes, 4 longline jacket
1 khaki, 2 ruffles, 3 stripes and sleeves, 3 embroidered
statement jacket- Breathe in a new lease into your old outfits just by wearing with a statement jacket.
1 pink, 2 cartoon print, 3 plaid, 4 leopard
Bomber jacket- Everywhere, literally!! So get one if still haven’t!
1 bird print, 2 reversible, 3 padded , 3 dark floral
1 cold shoulder, 2 off shoulder, 3 yellow, 4 choker, 5 bell sleeve
loafers- These are the shoes to wear and sooooooo comfy.
All the items listed are from Zaful, an online site for trendy and affordable clothes and accessories. They deliver worldwide and the delivery is quite fast as compared to other similar sites, delivered in about 10 days, the product quality is good, (from my experience) for the price but remember to check the size description as it varies from item to item and also see the pictures of other people wearing the items so to have better understanding of the look and fit.

Hey everyone!
This is my final outfit from LFW s/s 17. Dress over trousers, you guys know i am a huge fan of this styling technique. Lets put down why
- Take clothes from one season to another. i.e ur dresses that you would otherwise have to store away can be worn with pants when colder weather comes.
- If we can wear our clothes different ways we can wear them more often and thus reduce the cost of buying.
- When their is a chill in the air it is a very sensible decision.
- It is one fresh and super stylish outfit that requires no investment. We all have dresses and we all have jeans/ trousers, we just put them together.
- Right now it is trendier to wear dresses with pants than leggings.
- In case you haven’t got ur legs waxed or haven’t shaved but still want to wear a dress, wear it with pants, hahahahaha!!! I do this many many times.
I chose my raw edge skinnies this day but you can easily choose straight leg or fringed or wide leg their is no limitation.
What i wore- Dress- EAST, Bag- EAST, Jeans- Mango, Shoes- Zaful, Ring- Mejuri, Earrings- River Island
London fashion week couldnt be over without wearing one of my most loved brands East. Read more in this post, why. Infact i waited for the dress and bag, part of the their new autumn winter collection to be available online so i could share with u.
This beautiful Kilm print dress is a real stunner, so many people stopped to ask me where i got it from!!! The colour combination dull blue (if you have a better name for this blue please tell me!) with burgundy is perfect for a/w, and the subtle embroidery couldn’t be more beautiful. Also the fabric is so soft on the skin, i could have easily slept in.
Open toe shoes are another of my fav, they just add a lot of interest and these metallic borogues add edge & shine to this boho dress.
Denim jackets just like leather jackets are always handy for easy layering. I am also thinking this dress will be sooooooo gorgeous and different for the festive season, can't wait to wear again.

Hey everyone!
Off shoulder tops have been the hottest trend of spring summer and all of us probably have a couple styles in our closet. With colder weather upon us or soon upon us i have been thinking of ways to style them so i could wear them in autumn as well. Because of the exposed shoulder i find them great for layering and here are some ways you can rock them in autumn/fall:
- Wear them under gilet/vests like in todays outfit. So to give an impression of a cutout shoulder.
- Wearing them over sleeveless turtle neck will give the same look.
- Wear a denim shirt or a white shirt underneath or even a plaid shirt to mix prints or channel the fall vibe.
- Wrap a scarf around your neck and u can have all the warmth.
- Wear ones in darker color on their own when u want it to be autumn/ fall weather but it is nowhere in sight!!!
This off shoulder number with bell sleeves, two trends in one, is from Rosegal and so are the heels. They are super inexpensive and great quality for their price.Rosegal has so many trendy items at very reasonable price and their delivery is fairly good. Delivered in about 7-10 days. These two items were true to size but i would still say its safer to read the size description before ordering.I was also quite impressed by their vintage pieces and hair accessories
I have been fan of these edgy mule style shoes for quite sometime, glad i finally got them.
Something about monochromatic clean outfits, all white is literally my fav one colour look and i love the classic contrast of black shoes and accessories with it (proof proof) The unexpected pairing of a formal double breasted gilet/ vest with a boho fun off shoulder lacey top makes this look very interesting and engaging to the senses.Thank you for stopping by! See you in my next one.LoveChichi
