Of Dark Florals and Braids

Hello my butter popcorns,

It's been quite some time since I last flaunted shorts. We all live in apprehensions all our life even if ones' skinny. I'm addressing to all our insecurities  no matter at what size always haunts us. I have my own inhibitions but one thing my experiences have taught me that giving it a chance once whether be it a cuisine, a fear that you wish to overcome or in this instance a fashion fad. I urge you, ladies, to break your own shackles and experiment with that one clothing item that you all have rolled it to the back of your wardrobe ,try it on take a selfie -wear it around the house you have to! It's crazy how you can a piece of clothing make you feel so different about yourself, accept that damn birthmark you got it from your folks or the scar on the knee you got when cycling.

 Coming back to the post I have several black dresses and yet again I picked up this piece from Billabong. Honestly, it's pretty short and well I don't  live in a society where it doesn't make uncle and aunties squirm in their pants,I paired it with shorts. Alternatively, I wear it with high   waisted skinny Lan pants and some pointy heels and make it another on the go outfit for dinner. But here I'm wearing totally coordinated with my hair ,a blue bralette from Enamor and shorts from the Old navy.

*Also super obsessed with tassels!*

The hair has been done by The Mad Hair Scientist in boxer braids and the makeup I have played with browns and mauve from The Balm Palette -Meet the Matte(s).For My lips am wearing Chambor and dabbed some plum eyeshadow.

Let's take a minute to put the spotlight on  these uber comfortable chunky heels. Now to be quite frank with you guys it wasn't really a love at first sight. I loved how it looked on other girls and the fact that these 90's babies were so coming back with a twist. I have to say, these are the most comfortable heels I own and I can totally wear them the entire day without much strain on the ball of the foot. I have shuffled from airports o train and fashion weeks and it's been a breeze.I got it from KOOVS on a discount ,will update the name of the brand super soon.

I had so much fun shooting this look and do remember guys do share your take with me.I will talk to you super soon again, till then

Clash of prints for Bhai dooj

Greetings my lovely readers

There quite a few mythological stories associated with celebrating Bhai Dooj.For people new to this festival and my friends across the globe reading this,it is similar to Raksha Bandhan.For me this year I haven't really left any occasion to get decked up.

For my today's outfit, I decided to pair up my three separate to make the perfect coordinate. I haven't worn lehenga since ages forget about lehenga choli! But it was the time I took the plunge irst with Sabya lehenga and now with this outfit to show my tummy rolls. I have almost dreaded this for too long to show my stomach that comes with its own stripes and stretch marks. But then again not everything  is perfect and as photoshopped  as the magazine. I felt the exact need to truly accept body positivism and this would my first stint baring my midriff! My needs for traditional wear arises not from occasion to wear them but from the occasional bouts of confidence cycles I have! And getting ethnic wear in my size has always been a trouble, though my love for sarees is undeniable I love my share of kurtis and lehengas but Alas! the limited availability and the pricing put me off . So  whenever I do decide to wear traditional I do end up making something myself with the indulgent dose of inspirations around.(Talk about putting design degree to some use).

The choli is actually a jamawar silk blouse that I wear with most of my sarees in and out. The floral skirt is a cheap bargain I got at one of the fleas in Hyderabad and the dupatta is  borrowed from my mother's closet.

The whole outfits even though has a variety  of prints, textures, and embroideries they seem to work well together with this beautiful meenakari work statement neck piece and earrings. I absolutely love the pieces and would ideally wear just one of them !The jewelry is courtesy of Aquamarine ,I got them from the turner road store in Bandra. Santosh and Sheetal have definitely been so creative with the silver jewelry in terms of the ideation to the finish of the entire product. I definitely can't wait to go back!

My hair is  done meticulously by The Mad Hair Scientist a.k.a. Sanky evrus.

What should I style next on my blog,Let me know?I need your crazy ideas.See you soon in my next post,till then

The quiffy and the flower crown

Good evening my tarts,it been a succesful contest so far that has kept me away from writing a blogpost.So this OOTD right here that you are about to witness has been a fantasy sought for long time now! And if you know me I clearly have a penchant for flower crowns, bows and bling on my head. Next on my list are a floppy burgundy hat and fedora in yummy pastel !* psst..If you know where I can find one do ping me!*

This post was between the entire yes and no conversations, my loyal photographer Ridge promised to wake me up at 6, well which wouldn't possibly have happened. But again at 9 I give him a buzz and there he was happily waiting to click! (If you are looking for amazing clicks on budget, grab this guy), he comes with an inbuilt alarm clock ,what more would you want?
Wait before you judge me about the quiffy ,well I  did not really have my hairstylist today, hence! We had no location in mind a quick drive ,yet again a series of yes and no and we were done in 30 minutes dot!

So without further ado, here are the pictures

Flower crown:DIY, Dress:KOOVS, Arm candy and Watch :ALDO
