Sealing the day with my Girlies and bubbles at FNO

 Ahmm today I really don't how to address you guys so lets skip it :P.

Ahhh no I can always come up with cute names no? So Afternoon my Kitty Purries (Okay I did cheat a little,and  if you don't get it I'm not telling you either way)

As soon as I entered the venue I knew there were way  more experienced  bloggers than me ,the event would be covered in oh-so fine maneuver.

 

But then here I'm not letting you pass on until you hear my side of story.

 C'mon everybody got their own version and what's India without all that Jazz (read garam masala). So the event,honestly I do  not understand that gung-ho over the FNO|
.It was just another major sale with sparkling champagne flowing freely ,socialite snobbing each other down and well Bollywood making the paid appearances.

No I'm not making it sound mad I was crazy about being there and we drove # hours straight to get there.

September 5 marks the arrival of Vogue Fashion's Night Out in Mumbai for the first time.

And India's top designers have created keepsake T-shirts and bags for our late-night shopping party taking place at Mumbai's Palladium mall.

Started in September 2009 by Anna Wintour, editor of Vogue US, the event takes place all over the world from Moscow to Mumbai.

I had my own tryst,I met my design heroes Sabyasachi and Anita Dongre and well let's just say for me the whole event paid off(And then ofcourse there was Varun Dhawan*starry eyed* and he looks so much better in person and ll the girls swooning and mobbing him!)

On the other hand whilst writing the post ,I got to know about AYUSHMANN KHURRANA being there (Yes I'm screaming his name) while Me(stupid monger) was hogging at TGIF .I want to stab myself ,well not really .(somebody volunteer,I swear I will use   a blunt knife :P) I did manage to get a picture and it couldn't get better.

As for FNO  tshirts, they  were amazing ! My favourite being the Maharani necklace  t-shirt by Sabyasachi!

Couturiers Sabyasachi and Monisha Jaising made T-shirts and graphic geniuses Manish Arora and Play Clan designed the bags. SO if you have missed out on the FNO ,Join the party now by  ordering your Vogue FNO India merchandise online at Koovs.com

Coming back to what I wore now Delhi FNO's were all ooh-aahs and women are dressed to the T,while in Mumbai it's a little more laid back comfy and distinct fashion.I knew the t-shirts wont even be available in my size ,else I would have totally customised it my way,I decided to make a dress.The cloth if you look carefully has got the stamp prints and was an instant choice.So a day down and there I was with my dress well not so happy about it turned out!But what the heck I was escastic to just wear something I made.Paired it with the chunkies from DONE by NONE to add the pop of colour,really subdued drop earring from YOUSHINE and the owl- clutch from KUNST by lovely Deepika.Take a look at what I wore !

Here with my personal photographer and hairstylist Sanky,however here it's a natural bedhead (with a l'il sprays, mousses and blow dry done by myself) no credits for you today.

The closeup of my makeup before I went all haywire :D

The back -view well , of my dress not my derrière .

And with sabyasachi and anita dongre( I practically dance everytime  I look at these two pictures)

So that's the blabbering for the day ,I know am absolutely late with the post but then it could be a flashback and how many times do you get to read a hormone engrossed post like these?And if you aren’t bored of these picture take a look here : https://www.facebook.com/neelakshi.singh/media_set?set=a.10201219748687232.1073741829.1576537646&type=3

Curves Ahead ( Part 1)

Good morning tweeples see am getting better at keeping promises here ,I’m up and about writing this post.

Plus size clothing is a general term given to clothing proportioned specifically for people around size 12 and up in U.S. "In the fashion industry, plus size is identified as sizes 12-24, super size as sizes 4X-6X and extended size as 7X and up."  Also called Outsize in some countries (predominantly British), this term has been losing favour since the 1990s. A related term for men's plus-size clothing is big and tall (a phrase also used as a trademark in some countries)

and time and again i have defined my social dilemma,honestly this blog was started to voice the “BIG Problems “literally translation into plus size problem.But with time and looking at every single aspiration to be a size 0 looking at my own sister I have to learn to embrace every body type as it.I’m not hating sizing just trying to broaden my perspective

You can check them below my social dilemma and here basics .

Forget what you've been told about dressing to flatter your figure. Every woman is different: from height to curves in different places, there's no one item of clothing that suits all women. The way clothes fit you is the crucial factor. I  have the new rules of plus-size style, including  must-have pieces. Starting this day a sun dress .

I chose this particular piece against all the rules specified. The critics bar you from you from wearing horizontal stripes,also donnt wear anything that's cuffed at the ankle(it'll make you look stout) but if you wear them tastefully It could do you wonders. Don't be afraid to go for clothing with colours and prints, as these things can make such a difference to all the classic pieces.

So yes you guessed it I did wear stripes only in horizontal &vertical floral red print along with ankle strappped sandals in white pairing up with a glossy black  slingbag .I had this nautical vibe that explains the curls the feline liner and the swimming pool.Extremely sorry for my horrid expressions I promise I shall work on them.

Dress: Thrifted (I got this for 350 bucks straight,hell yeah!)

Strappy Heels: Tresmode

Sling Bag: Youshine

I'm trying all these new ideas not only to express myself but also to reach out to people who would relate to me without sizings being a problem.

I will see you soon in my next post till then

Stay Chic

Waldorfing:OOTD

Blair is a classic beauty and compared to Serena, her makeup and hair is much more polished. Blair always looks put-together and feminine and her beauty routine is a prime example. Here are the three key elements to Blair’s look: 

1. Rosy Lips and Cheeks

Unlike Serena’s sunkissed skin, Blair sports a more classic look with a pinch of rosy blush and lip color.

To achieve this, blend a rose blush with minimal to no shimmer onto the apples of your cheeks. For winter and fall Blair sticks with blushes that are pink-based, but she switches to peach-based colors in spring and summer. On exfoliated and moisturized lips, use a non-shimmery pink or berry lipstick or gloss.

2. Defined Eye Shadow

Rather than a simple wash of color on her entire eyelid, Blair’s eye makeup is slightly more extensive, focusing on defining her eyes and adding depth.

Start by using a matte eye shadow that’s close to your skin tone all over your lid. Then, take a matte chocolate brown shadow and blend into your crease and up towards your brow bone. Highlight your brow bone with a shimmery beige or vanilla eye shadow. Thinly line your upper and lower lash lines with a dark brown eyeshadow. Finish the look with a sweep of mascara.

3. Polished Curls/Shiny Poker straight Hair

Blair’s hair is almost always curly and she is rarely seen with a curl out of place or perfectly straight hair and well absolutely incomplete without her modern day crown-the humble hairband.She has absolutely glorified the hair bands for me forever.

Here's this random OOTD that I tried.Okay blair was bulimic in first few episodes and so I come up with another eating disorder being obese :P

For the make up I kept my peaches, brown ,champagne and white very prominent.I have used 3 coats of mascara and concealer on my waterline. Also I tried today Clinique's foundation in medium  and Sally Hansen's inflation lip plumper in the shade "sheer cherry".It is the first time ever I have a foundation on,so my blogger friend do point out if you see a shade gone wrong .

My outfit was a simple sheer collar blouson with tie up paired with a black skirt.The tote bag ,nude peep toes and hairband completed my look.

Trying to get into the blair mode!

Blouson:Thrifted

Skirt:Mango

Peep-toes: Tresmode

Bag: Rhysetta

Hairband: Accesorize

I'm sorry if I offended any GG fab,We were looking on having plain fun.Let me know how do u feel about this OOTD?

Stay chic

OOTD LFW Day 2

Holla my marshmellows

This is going to be one of the quickie.Finally my shifting back to Mumbai campus did pay off and well obviously there's a designer Sailex and our lovely jess who personally assists him, for the passes to Lakme Fashion Week.

Since it was my very first time here,I really wanted to wear something different and not end up looking frumpy.So here's what I decided ,I paired my Zara white lace jacket with high waisted  floral pants.Underneath am wearing my own design its a beaded scalloped top with a bodysuit ofcourse.(The best part its entirely handmade ).

I had zero jwellery and added a simple winged liner using Mac's Blacktrack and Maybelline Stay with me coral.

Ironic how less of a makeup we end up wearing at such things.From all my past experience I knew I cudn't afford to wear stilettos and strut all day long so well wedges were the obvious choice and I colourblocked them with this from Done by None.

Yes that's all going to be for my OOTD post here.Catch all the action and all photographs that don't make it to  the blog here:Plump to Pretty facebook page.

Please let me  know how did you like it /or even if you hate it? I will see you soon in my next post till then 

Stay Chic

XOXO

p.s.I have to credit this to my special photographer Momma :)

Dreamy burst of colours!

Hello my crystal bonbons!

Here's an absolute quick tutorial.I started with "How to make you eyes appear bigger but ended up with this very fantasy look."Now I don't how would you go out and rock,I tried today and I did make people take a second look at me(Only that yeh kya pagalpan kar rakha hain kudi ne kind of look) But then I'm comfoartable with any kind of look you give me,I have honestly become besharam (what?blame it on the layers I live with ).

Moving on to the post its a very dreamy makeup and well it does catch fancy of few people.Can I give a few real quick tip to make your eyes look bigger:

1.Wear you kohl only halfway and blend it towards the inner corners.
2.Highlighting your inner corner for small eyes with champagne colour really take the attention from the eye shape and make you look awake,also don't forget to highlight the brow-bone .I would recommend something in a peral or frosty finish.
3.Always have that 1 nude/white eyliner pencil im your stash ,they were likes magic for reducing bags under your eyes and lifting the look together.
4.When wearing false lashes make sure you wear them at the outer most croner and connect it with your lower lashes.I  think cutting falsies not only saves you another set but also fits perfectly without being too overwhelming.
5.Curling and  wearing 2 swifts of mascara can really add up to your look.Don't ignore the lower lashes ;)

Starting with this tutorial I start with a well moisturized face. I use a primer next  then chances are you are overloaded with silicone which is not-such a  good thing for your skin but works for the makeup.Oh and that's my bare without any makeup ,moisturizer whatsoever.

Next before anything I really wanted to put my falsies on.While working with them on does make it tougher but you get an exact exaggeration that you could make on the lower lashes.You will notice mine flying away from the ends but I fix it up .

Next I have used the metalliglow primer for eyes all over my eyes  till my brow bone.

Next for prepping my white shadow to show up I have used nyx white jumbo pencil on my lid area smudging it with a clean finger.

 Highlighted the browbone and inner corners using the Clinique Palette highlighter shade .

 I'm  using faces eyeshadow in the shade 327 and running my brush in windshield viper motion in my crease area building up the colour slowly.Take you time with step you will also reduce the harsh lines.

Next I use an eyeshadow in the shade 371 Matte from Freedom system by inglot and just under the crease and outer corner intensify the colours.

Here I  have added Inglot's matte white eyshadow in the shade Matte and used the same along with Nyx Jumbo pencil in milk on my waterline.I went crazy with and really getting into my waterline and lashline.

Adding the same purple shadow but following the same rule of lining it only halfway.

Now the final touches by tightlining my eyes.adding a very thin liner and connecting it all on upper lashes.And because you can never have enough l ashes we draw some whimsy fancy ones :D

This step is totally optional and you can skip it if you like!

I went ahead and contoured my pig nose a bit with a bronzer. (Notice  those blended line starting at my eyebrow)

 

 And added a really peachy blush,well not blush exactly I cheated a bit and used the Cinnamon eyeshadow on my cheeks from Kryolan.

And here's the finished look.I'm not even wearing mascara so if you want even bigger lashes go ahead!

 Alternatively you can even wear a black khol like so ;I have just really intensified my outer corners.

Soooo what did you think of the look?Did you like the white kohl or Black khol pairing better?I hope these little tips and trick help,make it your own.Share with me too if you have any.

I had so much fun clicking this one :)

Seeyou soon till then,

Stay Chic
