Floral Retroluxe

I have previously collaborated for a fun shoot with Nubella in a colour that you probably would never see me in.The beautiful colour and fit of the top is not something I find very easily in a top. Missed out on reading that blogpost, read them here.

Like dresses are my got to options tops and basics pieces which I might say are wardrobe staples are extremely hard to come in my size.

Nubella definitely makes some great ones-they have an entire line dedicated to different body shape type that one can literally build their wardrobe on. This season I partnered up again with Nubella but this time in a floral zone-yes floral are one of those trends that have become classics. And with the never-ending variations, it's absolutely amazing to see how season after season they keep reinventing themselves!

For this blog post I tried to imbibe my very vintage vibe given how bleached my hair is right now.

I shot the entire look in millennial pink meets flute dress meets Mumbai chic.Now you may ask yes you have heard the word millennial pink but what is it anyway.To describe it literally ahmm.. that’s the tricky part. It’s sort of a grapefruit shade of apricotty salmon.I like to date it back to watching one of my favorite Wes Anderson's movie Grand Budapest.If I was a character I would definitely dress up like this.

So coming back to the look I 'm wearing the Bonnie Tailored Shift dress with not a single drop of foundation/powder/concealer but just lipstick.Yes, you heard it! And complimenting it well with my INTOTO suede sandals and Tassel earrings by Kunst and a chic curly mop by Sanky Evrus.The dress not only fits like a dream but is so so comfortable ,the rayon fabric clings only onto the right places.The sleeve detailing and ruffled hem is, of course, my favorite things about the dress.You can buy them here.

Coming up next on the blog are more exciting stories, stay tuned!

Beyond The Virtual Wall

Hello my lovely lemon tarts,

Some days are just about procrastinating to get up while some days kick starts with you being mentally upbeat about everything you have to look forward to today . I'm a firm believer of the fact that you often become the person you keep company with. Not to sound highly philosophical or preachy it has much to do with myself, I became the girl who would walk with cliques around college to someone who has boiled down to close knit of 5 to 10 people. However much we speak of the fact about how uber cool we have become we have become with communal living it gives me great joy to get back to people of m y comfort zone..often that is myself. I love being in my company and learned it in a hard way, still learning in fact. I  really have mapped out my journey who wouldn't step out to even get medicines in the direst situations to just about getting anywhere today. Of course, I'm still averse to the idea of striking conversations with someone as soon as I get to a room full of people. My eye searches for another familiar set of eyes.

My gateway has been my writing-my virtual conversation. But One thing that I'm lagging is making a connection with you in the real world. I read tons of DMs and Messages but I had like to know your input and develop a healthy conversation here-a two-way traffic.

I had really appreciated if you can comment/ask/question on my Instagram or Facebook page with #beyondthevirtual and we break the bubble. Trust me it's harder than it looks but I'd appreciate it tons if you do it!


Coming back to the post I had wanted to do something with this Bhane Dress(which personally isn't something I see myself picking up from their store).It was a completely new challenge for me to style it. So I paired I with a thrifted long line jacket which was such a steal at 150 bucks!

I paired it up with my comfy wedges from Forever 21 but I don;t find myself wearing to often. This look is a no jewellery zone and my hair takes a backseat for a while being gelled back. I also flaunt my favorite accessory Mr.Sanky who has quite often hoarded my blog space. So now we have come up with an Influencer platform for him on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/themadhairscientst/
Please go on and show your support as you have always shown me.
See you in an exciting new post real soon, take care

Breaking Myths With Afamado

I personally think there has been so much rue about what a Fat girl shouldn’t wear but time and again and we a plus size community have been trying to break the shell. It’s honestly very heartbreaking to see that as a community whose very members are we, levy such rules upon what to wear and what not to wear! The dress custom made by me defies all the rules that as plus size woman I’m supposed to be following.

The dress has my favorite trend off shoulder, a cinched waist, and a slit. I don’t want to be a hero but just normal person who wants to exists and do her own thing, eat what she likes, dress up as she likes and be  in this community just as anybody else.

One of the biggest style trends to emerge from  the very beginning  of summer 2016, without a doubt,  the off shoulder trend- is also  known by the name“Bardot  .” As a curvy girl, I remember baring my shoulders felt like a throwback to another time(being a vintage pinup fam), but also felt more comfortable sporting this trend.

To me these styles are flirty and the appeal lies in the fact that we can show skin but you got your upper arms covered. And that is a complete summer win for me. For colder weather, I would wear it with a button up plain shirt with prominent collars. 

You have seen me embrace the trend quite a few number of times on the blog.

It’s not hard to wear off-the-shoulder dresses – they make a statement on their own hence they really don’t need much else.

For this blog post, I have a beautiful geometrical print dress from Afamado. The dress is an off shoulder baby in Non stretch rayon woven fabric that can be either worn cinched or loose. The elastic on the shoulder and neck line enable a better fit. The dress was customized to my size and preference and that is what I loved about Afamado that ensures that each of its garment is made to the customers sizing’s.

For me my biggest accessory thanks to Sanky has become my Hair. We made it fun with tight curls. I have paired the dress with my pastel drop earrings from ALDO and block heels from Truffle Collection.

I really like the pop of color and the patterns of the dress. You can check out their curvy collection HERE and honestly these are all the dresses I would genuinely want to wear catering to different occasions.

Skirting Norms

one needs to really step outside their comfort zone to experiment and well enjoy the fruits of what's coming their way! I'm more of a dress person than another attire really. There's  almost everything have tried except playsuits. Skirt were a big part of my earlier wardrobe but for some reason I had stopped wearing them. Well the whole conversation of Indian mums asking you to wear spanx or shorts underneath(I'm sure most of you can relate) just irks me. I really don't want 100 things on the floor when I have to pee outside! well I'm trying to track my way back to skirts..starting of with this full length skirt from Femella.

“Tulle skirts always are a head turning piece  ,needless to say if you have bought one well  go bold and have fun with your styling!  I went for a girly glam look with a the cutest cold shoulder blouse from Marks & Spencer .This look is ready for a shopping date and happy hour with my bouys!”

Find the skirt volume that you are comfortable with.   Tulle skirts come in different volumes.  Some plus size women aren't comfortable with pieces that are going to add volume to their bodies. If you are worried about this then you want to look for a skirt that has only a few layers of tulle.  The Rose pink tulle skirt has a minimum amount of volume.  Now for those of us that love the theatrics of it all and don't mind adding volume, a more voluminous skirt would probably suit us best.  This skirt from Femella has  the right kind of volume when you want to wear it on an everyday basis.
