Waisted

The 80's favorite trend from the wall street is having a moment again in 2017.The done and dusted trend is back for the season and I'm talking about pinstripes here. Combining it with a very unlikely trend (for me ) of high waisted relaxed fits pants can be quite a task when styling for my body type.

High waisted are absolutely no biggie for me considering the fact that I had to wear it almost all my adolescence to bunch up the belly fat since that is the only fit I managed to snag off any branded stores that I would want bad! There was also bootcut, which well I do love but when imposed and restricted to a particular way I can't seem but to refuse to understand the routine works.

The thin pinstripes, an all-new addition by Lastinch, beautifully bunch up at the waist. There’s nothing more dated about the way you’ll be pulling on pinstripe prints this season. I like taking it in a less-is-more mentality on this blogpost pairing the pattern with a nexus t-shirt from the casuals section of plus size wear from Lifestyle while adding my baby houndstooth t-straps heels 👠

I also added a double layered choker my Toniq that completed my hippie vibes. My hair is in a pigtail and this is my comfy outfit except I would swap my shoes for closed toe block heels that will help me last throughout the day.
How do you like the pants and let me know how would you style them?

Bare Minimum

Keeping my skin bare for an outfit post -well at least one that's well planned doesn't really come naturally to me. When I take a look at an ensemble or a single piece I think about the very first look I had to want to put together with that piece. Everything from the color of my eyeshadow to the heels and the nail paint is automatically fed fast by my brain and securely recorded/The hairstyle being most unpredictable one and mostly dependent on Sanky's mood really! The second thought is how many times can I repeat this piece (honestly even if I get two wears out of it Iw ould buy it)Considering the limited choice it very hard to come across something that I had really want to wear more than twice.

For this blogpost It really got me thinking what if I don't really paint my face for once and look at what reactions I would get. By the end of the shoot and post editing it al boiled down to more pondering as to how vulnerable I actually felt. Mid shoot I had started to apply a lip tint all over my eye and lips-yes LIP TINT! I wasn't too happy with the fringes  Sanky curled for my bangs this time and that could be seen! It isn't really until you get to the most uncomfortable zone, you don't understand the importance of your own being. I really want to be able to go bare face and not feel conscious about it.Is till do-it's a process I know I'm working on it and will get there in time. As for my makeup lovers out there, I'm really going to stop wearing makeup! It's not a need for me but a creative outlet -that's initially the first things I did to make myself feel more ME. I would ponder 100 times before posting the pictures, eventually when I got the love from you guys only then I had the confidence to really do my first outfit post. I know the whole process is long and vicious of self-love when there's a whole army sitting at your doorstep, asking you to stop being yourself.

For my post, I chose to wear this beautiful number speaking vintage flora-fauna power to me. I was extremely excited about the new heels I bought to well wear with everything. The block heels make it so comfortable for me to walk in. Usually, after the shoot day I'm really happy to do away with the heels well that's not the case with this one. I wore this even to the sandy beach for our next location!

The floral number is a perfect button down dress when you had like t be really effortless minus the effort really. Think about pairing this with headscarves and bandanas for that summer brunch look or wear it over culottes to open the first few button with pointy heels for Friday casual to work. The viscose fabric makes it a delight for summer and monsoons-easy for our working ladies alike!

Head to Calae's website to check out their new summer fling collection.

I had love to hear from you guys and I always make sure I reply to your emails and messages, I really hope you keep writing to me with all your love feedback, suggestions-I want to hear them all. See you very soon with another exciting brand on the blog next week.

Till then,

Summer Mellow

Hello my beautiful melons,

It's been a while since Is poke to you guys.Personally, for me, I haven't seen a seismic change in fashion this year. The biggest trend of cold shoulder and off-shoulder still ensues on this year.

The shoulder has been fashion’s erogenous zone of 2016 but, more importantly, it is clearly making the cut to 2017 as well.The glee of a cold-shoulder dress/top works better for any setting! It gives you more of an audacious than it feels: the shoulders don’t vellicate & the focus remains on your face rather than your body. I guess which what I really aim for not that I have shied away from dressing up my bulges ever. Cold shoulders are not only flirty and fun, but they also keep you cool on a warm summer day, which makes them a wardrobe essential.  This trend is not chasing away and honestly, works with every body type, hence I suggest you make the most of it!

Here 's an absolute fun shoot I did for LastInch's latest summer collection launch. The dress 's print is a beautiful tie and dye technique. The love for combining modern pieces with Hollywood vintage inspired hair isn't going anywhere-anytime soon. Sanky has given me a hip yet very 60smod bouffant hair.I went sans any accessories and paired it with strappy pointy flats.

Summer Reminiscing with Lastinch

Summer evokes so many sentiments for me- the fun frolic at the beaches are a distant memory now. I have been longing for a vacation for the longest time now. My more real adult reactions to summer are nowhere close to summer vacations, beaches or just playing around and getting tanned only to quench thirst & hunger from the mango tree. That is definitely my favorite memory at my grandparent's place.

Summer to me translates down to maxis-they ae the only anti-fit items that I feel I can carry like a boss. Maxis never have a mind of their own, body type it is one of those clothing items that is universally flattering. You have one for everybody type. I'm keeping the post really short boiling it down the essentials of the post. I got this rust colored halter ruched maxi from LastInch and it is such a breeze. The material is extremely soft whilst not being clingy at all.I liked it both the way when I cinch my waist to add a little more definition to the smallest part of my body( no not my arms, just don't want to refer it as waist anymore) or not!

I wore my hair in undone beach waves done by sanky. My makeup is well a very Also adding a ton of texture by adding Label M's texturizing spray and a comfy straw hat from Forever 21.
The best part about this dress is real that one size fits all and that is why I'm giving it a big thumbs up. Please go ahead and check out the lovely collection at Lastinch. Let me know how do you like the dress on me and would you buy it?

Retro Flounce featuring Femella

If somebody ever asked me about my style game  - Pinup/Old Hollywood Glam would spell it all.  Do judge me for the love of god, if I tell you that as much as I love my sarees I absolutely head over in heels am in love with the yesteryears of Hollywood.

If I could I would dressup the pinup girl everyday! As for today I hunt on for trends that I can inculcate small glimpses of the yesteryears.


So when i saw this dress on the Femella website I know I had to get it. The flouncy sleeves are my takeaway on the trend. The marsala colour is to swoon over, especially when it is compiled with detailed gold zipper. The fabric is the softest heather moss lycra with princess line seams and a beautifully rounded neck.
The hi-low hemline gives it the modern touch.I paired mine with some 100 denier stockings from Hunker Moller and Tresmode Pumps. My little ceramic pin gave it the perfect touch and I wore my hair in a short but retro waves swept back on one side.

Borrowed from the lux golden era I absolutely adore finger waves.The deep partition with the bangs swooped aside with pin is clearly one of my favourite hairstyles.

Will you be your own valentine?

I know my girls you might have chalk it up to another Archies holiday, but there's no point denying that Valentine's Day is the perfect excuse to put on a cute outfit and hit the town.

For me, valentine's have had it's hot and very darn cold variations. But this season I help you dress up with the most stunning yet cliché option to dress up. My inspiration was obviously the very pink and not anatomically correct heart. Going full on red is an obvious choice and that's why I opted for this very hot pink dress tailored by me.he dress has a very ladylike feel yet means sexy! I love how I decided to use a nude color lining to cling under the dress to give it that see through effect yet not giving much away.

I really think that How you feel about Valentine’s Day may depend on how you feel about yourself and what kind of relationship you’re in if any.For me, it's complicated but nevertheless not a reason enough not to celebrate ! I wear my own very romantic cutout dress paired with sand dune block heels 'cos I really want to be able to walk the talk. My hair is done is a retro full updo with my fading lavender hair and wearing drop earrings by blur. The makeup essentially plays up with the eyes. I'm wearing pale pink to a gray smokey eye paired with almost MLBB shade.

Whether you're going out on a romantic tinder date or drinking one too many vodka with your girlfriends this dress will absolutely make head turns!Don't forget to love yourself, ladies.
