Party season for me starts around diwali and goes well till the first week of januray. That is a good stretch of more than 2 months and one of my top essentials for this time of the year is a sequin number. Its definitely the item that catches everyones eyes at parties and i strongly suggest you get a sequin piece for those dressier parties. Having said that i wouldn’t want to have something hang in my closet the whole year and just come out 2-3 times so i decided to style my stunning bodycon dress from NUE for a casual day.
here are a few ways you can make those sequin pieces work for casual occasions
- Change your shoes to casuals like sneakers or flats.
- Wear casual accessories like a casual velvet choker or a chunky belt.
- If styling a top, wear with ripped jeans, boyfriend jeans, shorts in the summer time or culottes.
- if styling a sequin skirt wear with a graphic tee or sweatshirt, denim jacket or casual sweater.
- a sequin blazer looks great paired with a plain tee and ripped jeans.
- if styling a bodycon dress layer a full skirt on top.
NUE by Shani is a revolutionary line of flirty dresses with in built compression fabric that is specially woven with spun lycra that shapes and moulds the body, giving the wearer an appearance of a size smaller and allowing her to celebrate her body. Shani, the designer takes the timeless pursuit of enhancing the female shape through tailoring tricks like rusching, darting etc NUE dresses are luxurious and suited to the many roles of modern women and it definitely gave shape to my body without any discomfort. On this day i went out for lunch after the shoot and was quite comfortable throughout.

Hey everyone!
Todays post is about travel. To tell you honestly i love travelling as much as i love fashion and hair and i am looking forward to creating more travel posts on the blog. To begin with i thought of sharing my top 6 reasons to travel.
1. To know myself- i have learnt so much about myself through travelling, its not even funny, i almost think i dint know myself before. In a foreign environment you are faced with different situations and people so dealing with them you get to test yourself and know your strengths and weaknesses.
2. To create memories- Life is all about memories the food we eat, the nature we experience, the streets we walk on, the people we meet and travelling is the best opportunity to do all that.
3. To experience different cultures- before i started travelling i always thought of my culture to be very different and probably the best but through traveling i now know how similar we are as a result of which i am more accepting and open to the world.
4. To be free- Travel has transformed me into a free and independent person. I no more have the mindset of being bound to a place or society or situation or money i feel in charge of my life and if something bugs me i feel i can just go.
5. To become a storyteller- I look forward to sharing travel experiences with my friends and family. Narrating that surreal star lit night in Ladakh on a motor bike or that windy day that could have blown me away in wales, it helps me become a story teller which i absolutely enjoy.
6. To learn Fashion- There is so much learning through travelling but being a fashion lover i most look forward to the fashion in different parts of our world. My personal style evolves every time i visit a new place and is the product of my travels.
London and Paris are my most loved cities in the world and i am in love with how alex foster has illustrated the two cities here. Alex foster is an award winning illustrator specializing in city maps, check his online shop for more awesomeness!!
I hope you liked my first travel post and got some motivation to travel, if not already!

Hey everyone!
Closet full of clothes and nothing to wear or maybe the closet is not full but you get what i am trying to say, you have nothing to wear doesn’t feel good right! now add to it the pressure of attending a big event like fashion week. This was my situation when i last minute decided to attend the india fashion week in delhi. I think i was just stupid to not plan for it. Should not even start about that as i still feel like slapping myself!!!!
Basically i had no outfit so the only option left was to use my styling sense to come up with a fashion week worthy outfit with pieces existing in my wardrobe. Layering is the first word that comes to my mind when thinking of fresh outfits with existing pieces. And matching sets had saved me many a times in the past so i thought of this black one which is probably 3 years old and put this black embroidery skirt from this summer on top and voila i had my outfit. The pieces were old but the outfit was totally fresh and forward for autumn 2016.
So here are a few points to help u when u have nothing to wear i.e when u need a fresh outfit from your existing wardrobe (not how to have nothing to wear i.e items that should be in your wardrobe so you are not stuck with nothing to wear, which i will talk about in another post.)
- Think of layering like in todays outfit, or adding a vest on top of ur off shoulder top, etc. Spring, autumn and winter u can really use this technique to come up with multitude diff outfits.
- Think of unusual pairings like a wrap dress with a pencil skirt
- Wear with diff accessories like something u have been wearing with minimal jewelry , wear it with statement clutch or earrings
- Combine different moods like embroidery with clean cuts.
- Change your footwear like your ultra feminine pleated midi that you have worn with heels and sleek shoes now wear with edgy boots.
- Create a pinterest board of outfits that involve the pieces or similar pieces that you have in your wardrobe. So whenever you come across any outfit that u like or find fresh on blogs, fashion websites, instagram, google search or pinterest just pin it to that board and refer to it whenever you are stuck.
I am totally in love with this super easy braided half updo. Looks great on long hair and if u too want to achieve that clip in hair extensions and tape in hair extensions from omgnb are great.

Hey everyone!
Even though i am constantly looking for and understanding the newest trends coming from the runways, street style stars, my fav bloggers, fashion magazines, etc, etc i am often stuck with the dilemma to buy or not buy a trend, whether it is here to stay or will it fizzle out. In the past i was usually late almost super late to jump onto the bandwagon of trends but now i have started to make fast decisions. No waiting and watching anymore, its either Yes or No.
However the 3 easy rules i follow before actually buying into a trend are
- i should be able to come up with at least 3 diff outfit combinations with the piece.
- 8/10 times i prefer to buy a neutral colour so its easier to wear with different outfits.
- it should either match my personal style or be a challenge i.e something that i truly like but find a bit difficult to work. Just by following these three simple rules i have been able to be on trend and enjoy them without being stuck with items that i would only wear once and regret purchasing.
I love ankle boots (ending at ankle level) so wanted to try the calf boots (ending at mid calf level) trend but was not particularly sure so i got one in nude which can be worn with multiple colors and have been able to wear quite a few times and in todays outfit i quite like how it dressed up this casual dress. It is from 4th and reckless, currently sold out but there are other calf length options in velvet and pu leather, they deliver worldwide.
Jackets hanging on one shoulder is definitely a styling trick i love. how instantly u have a fresh look with something u might have worn a million times.
Think parisian chic think beret! After wearing it this day to actually cover my dirty unwashed hair i am sold. Couldn’t be happier about how chic it made my outfit look.

Hey everyone!
When it comes to Indian outfits i always go the traditional way! Wear it as it has been for ages! No styling nothing. The reason behind that is the beauty of the garments, be it the fabric or embroidery or work its just so beautiful that i feel it should be worn as simply and in its original form.
These days i am only wearing Indian clothes during festivals or weddings or special occasions so i don’t shop as much and its probably just limited to 1 or 2 outfits in a year that see me through the festive and wedding season. I mostly try to get something that can be worn for different occasions and offlate me and my mom have been mostly shopping at Meena Bazaar.
Meena Bazaar is a premium Indian Ethnic wear brand for women with stores all over India, USA, UK and UAE. Trust me guys they are the one stop shop for ethnic indian clothes. Be it weddings, cocktail, festivals or small occasions their range always delivers.
I am in love with the kashmiri embroidery on this anarkali suit. Its all over but does not look very in your face and the red and black color combo makes it wearable on many diff occasions like a cocktail event or wedding or diwali parties or just about any occasion that you want to wear indian clothes. I wore it without the dupatta on this day but you can always take it depending on your mood or occasion.
There are quite a few similar ones on Meena Bazaar's online shop and they deliver to your doorstep no matter which part of the world. Diwali is just 2 days away so if u are like me who gets her diwali outfits last min do check them out and definitely for the wedding season, you will love their collection.
