Some more from this Diwali....

Hello Hello Hellos again....

I don't know if I can call this a Diwali post as I am super late with this one. So sorry about it.

Here are the links to the previous 2 posts. Do check them out if you haven't already!

In this post I have 2 festive outfits -

For the first one I have the same pants from the post of half dhoti saree above. I wore it with a pleated red top. And for accessories I have an ethnic earring and a delicate arm cuff.

Top - H&M
Pumps - Chinese Laundry
Pants - Stitched in India

And for the second one....... I was just browsing through Jabong few months back and I came across this outfit. Anything different in the outfit catches my eyes. I love trying out new styles every time. So immediately ordered it. The size of the pants was very weird. It went through at least 3 alterations. But the top fit was perfect to size. The top has a high slit and the pant is double layered where the top one has the pleats which is visible in the front.

I wore Chandbali earrings with this outfit and got a side hair bun with braid on one side.  

Earrings - Etsy
Pumps - Michael Kors
Outfit - Jabong
Rings - Charming Charlie

So yes people, this is my last post from the outfits of Diwali 2016 :) Ciao until next post!

Silk... Flowers... Jhumkis....

Hello everyone!

Here is one more look from this year's Diwali. I went total traditional with silk Sari here.
Have you read my first post yet? Click here to read it.

This is my sister's sari which she wore at my wedding. It is such a pretty pretty color. Pink just attract me!! :P And the sari too is light weight making it easy to carry entire day. It initially had the same shade pink blouse to it. I got a green contrast blouse stitched to it. For accessories I wore a gold choker with a traditional Jhumkis.
And for that extra thingy I wore flowers on the right of my hairdo. 

And I got this new makeup set from smash box cosmetics called Lighting Theory which I have been playing around with these days. I have used the same one here. Its real amazing and has easy to use colors! 

I know this look may not be anything very new but traditional has its own sweet charm! I really enjoyed running around in this outfit entire evening here.

Lights.. Diwali.. Action....

Lights! Diyas! Lanterns! Sweets! Snacks! Shopping! Decorations! Dress up! Gifts! Get togethers!

Yes.. Diwaliii!
Like many many of you, Diwali is my most favorite festival. It is such a colorful, joyful and lit up festival. The spirit of this festival is unbeatable.

First of all wish you and your family a very happy and prosperous Diwali!! Hope you all are having a great time!

Now about dressing up.. I don't have a lot of Indian or ethnic wear here or rather I should say most of them which I got almost 4 years back do not fit me now :P Thanks to awesome telepathy between me and my Mom that she understood the patterns which helped me get last minute blouses stitched from India and sent here :) :)

Amidst the mountains!

A big hellos to you all!!

Last weekend we visited Denver, Colorado. So I thought of making this post with my outfits from the vacation :) I had been wanting to visit Denver since a long time and finally we made it. It is no doubt a very beautiful place amidst the rocky mountains. And they looked even more gorgeous with snow on top.

The temperature was on chilly side as we were mostly on high altitudes. So I am in sweaters and turtle necks most of the time.

So here we go....

Fall into Autumn..

Hellos people!

I want to start this post with a quote I totally agree -

"Fashion is what you're offered four times a year by designers. And style is what you choose." —Lauren Hutton

The Fall is here!.. Its the favorite season for most people here. The comfort of layering with vast ways to experiment on outfits makes Fall truly a favorable season. And of-course the colors. They are just damn pretty. It is impossible to put that beauty in words.

Mix textures.. Try on that texture which you always wanted to.. Be it velvet, silk, satin, leathery.. or mix patterns.. Try plaids or huge dark florals.. Layer it.. Belt it..
So many different options to experiment.. :)

Here are few of my recent favorites...

The flared affair!

Hellos to all you lovely people!

As the title of the blog states, today's post is about the flares :)

I used to be a little hesitant about wearing any kind of flared pants earlier. I thought it would look baggy on me. But after I tried and got used to I really love them. I own quite a few now. They are undeniably very comfortable and provide the most easy ways to dress up or dress down. This flared pant or I must say the culottes I am wearing in this blog is one of the most recent purchases but I have worn it many many times. I am listing down 3 looks here. Hope you all like it!!

The first one!

Well, there I was staring at my full closet with the thought that I have nothing for the first blog.. @-) I picked up one outfit and started pondering if it it blog worthy! :!! Before this I would not think so much and usually that led to good outfits I think.
Sigh! I will take sometime to get over this blog consciousness in my head... :-q

So whats this post is about!

I spent sometime thinking about this very same question. What should my first blog post be about? You know, its about that first impression right!? Haha...
I was thinking 'Oh.. Labor day here is just around the corner and my post will be out that time. So should I start with a fall post or transition wear?' OR 'Should I go for a work wear post?'. I was leaning towards the second option as we are in work wear 70% of the week and most of the time it becomes monotonous like our routine. What say! I even got started with some photos for it.. But.... :)

Hmmm, before you all think that I am dragging this too much ~X( and converting my so called style blog into a story blog I will tell you what this post is about! :D
In this post I have 3 of my favorite weekend daytime outfits. Weekend day out style is one of my favorite type as we have so many options to pick from. I wore these outfits many times this summer here and continue to wear until the weather permits.

So here goes.....

How true! Ahh.. The joy of dressing up is =D7

I have been thinking about starting a blog for almost more than 2 years now. I know.. A long time! Well, better late than never.. I recently turned 30 and my instinct of starting a blog got stronger since then. And also my dear hubby said better try one at 30 than to regret when I am 60. So here I am.... This post is purely an introduction blog as the title states.

Before I start I want to give a huge shoutout to all the bloggers out there who inspire me and many others every day.
