Fashion Irony!

Hello People!

Fashion irony: Camouflage helps you stand out in the crowd!

If you track trends as obsessively as I do, you've probably seen a whole lot of camouflage lately. But even if you haven't, never fear— I'm here to tell you what's up with the ubiquitous print. 

The anything-but-drab print is set to go strong all summer long. But how much camo is too much camo? There's a fine line between crazy-cool fashion explorer and just plain ol' crazy. We suggest opting for one bold piece, or wearing the pattern in
muted tones,can make you stand out from the crowd.

 I'm wearing a sheer camo blouse with band collar,knitted skirt,Beret cap for the semi military look which to tell you I'm in love with these days! An oversized clutch with some black and golden spikes bracelets which adds to the look.
So,

Will you be trying the look? Let me know in the comments below!

Black on Black

We know it's winter's but not in my part of the world!! Hell ya!! It's summer! I live in Kerala, but you don't have to do the colorful/pastel thing every day. Learn how to wear all black, the right way. 

Like a trusted friend, the most reliable color in our wardrobe never lets us down. Our little black anythings are always there for us, ready to make us look amazing, seeing us through any party, date, or professional schmooze-fest. The danger, though, is that when it comes to ultra-dark outfits, you can have too much of a good thing and end up giving off a scary impression. 

If you're craving new, never-tried ways to wear this standby shade, you'll want to take notes. I assembled outfits that show off your mad style skills, instead of hiding them in goth shadows. If you pay attention to details (and fabrics, and silhouettes), you can pull of a monochromatic look (even in the dead of summer!) that's all about confidence, creativity, and sartorial smarts. Click through for  my-styled outfits, and see how it inspire some of your own bright ideas. ;)

Stay tuned for more amazing posts!

SUSPENDED and FREE!!

Few days back I have got these pretty cool suspenders, which I was lusting for literally! So I got them for a very reasonable price! Yay!! :D

Suspenders probably don’t pop out at you as the most trendy item nowadays, but how great of a fashion opportunity does this present? After all, it’s always fun to rock something unexpected and try a new look!

When worn correctly, suspenders can give you a chic, androgynous look with a bit of a retro vibe. So why not pick up a pair to play with and learn how to style them?

·         Add them to a pair of shorts. Suspenders look cool when attached to a pair of shorts and worn with a comfy t-shirt or tank top. Bonus points if your shorts are high-waisted or nautical!

·         Try them with a skirt. This is the perfect way to give a basic skirt-and t-shirt combo a nice vintage flair. Just don’t let your outfit get too busy — one pattern and two solid colors will look just right.

·         Jeans work well with suspenders, too.

·         Jumpers can give you the same look as suspenders, but you don’t have to worry about buying a new pair or dealing with matching them to a pair of shorts.

·         Wear with confidence. This is a bold look, so don’t you dare leave the house without a huge smile on your face!

I really had fun during the shoot!
ENJOY !

Stay tuned for more!

The Corporate Look with Arjun Rampal!

Apart from the fact that the movie, Inkaar, is about urban office politics and relationships, what totally made my watch worthwhile was the gradual transformation of Chitrangada Singh from college to corporate chic and Arjun Rampal’s effortless way to suave and style. I was smitten by the male protagonist’s corporate fashion and his effortless way of carrying his semi formal (at times) and formal style. I am pretty sure a lot of you would love to inculcate some of that to your personal style and wardrobe. Women, why don’t you suggest some of these tips to your man. So, here it goes, your way to a chic corporate look -

Instead of buying a thousand unique styles, I always suggest everyone to buy classic pieces. Investing in a classic piece would mean, you get yourself a style that is not leaving the fashion place for a long time, and you end up saving a lot of money in the long run; probably that’s why we call such fashion “timeless”.

What all to invest in?

1. Get A Crisp White Shirt: If you ask me, a white shirt is one of the most versatile pieces in a man’s wardrobe. Depending on what you pair it with, it’s purpose changes, from corporate to formal gathering. You can also go for other basic colors like black, light blue and grey.

2. Tailored Blazers: Like I said earlier, it’s always better to invest in classic pieces than spend your hard earned money on styles that promise no guarantee to last. Blazers in shades of grey and black go well with almost any color of shirt.

3. Formal Shoes: Pick up a pair of finely tailored Oxford cut formal shoes, and you will never repent your buy.

In addition to these classic pieces, you can also buy a pair of semi-formal denims (without any tear and wear, save those for your wild boy’s night outs) and formal trousers to complete the look. Leave the tie behind and pick up a pair of dark colored wayfarers to look one step closer to Arjun Rampal.

 Go and grab some amazing deals on Men’s clothing and get yourself and your wardrobe an update on style!!!

Till then stay tuned for more!

The Tale of a Balloon Seller!!

I have experienced the miracle of reading good stuff in my life. The feeling is so amazing that it is the reading habit only that taught me as well as so many people I know good things in life.I remember how my grand mother used to tell me all those beautiful and lovely stories before getting me and I brother to bed..! And, also in my adverse times, some inspirational and motivational good short stories have given courage to survive the difficult times. They say that those small stories are like treasure for their entire life. So, the idea to share good short readings to Panchtantra readers. And I feel that definitely these stories will help lots of people in different shades of life.

So Friends, here I have a simple and a lovely story for you!And,I will be happy, if this reading will help you in any way. Your comments are always welcome.

 The Tale of a Balloon Seller!!

Once there was a small black boy. Everybody would tease him for his black colour. Even his mother also would curse her fate that she had so ugly looking child. Due to all this, he used to feel very sad, disappointed and lifeless.

One fine day he was standing by his window looking at other children playing in the ground. Then he saw a balloon seller on a street corner. His eyes sparkled as he gazed at all the different coloured balloons - red, blue, white, green, yellow. The colourful balloons in the sky fascinated him so much that he rushed down the ground and stood near the balloon seller for hours.

The old man selling the balloons saw the boy hesitate, then gather his courage and approach. "Tell me mister;" said the boy, "Do the black balloons fly as high as the others?" The old man felt a tear forming in his eye. He picked the boy up, sat him on his knee and said, "Look."

He let go off all the balloons. They drifted up in a cluster, higher and higher into the blue sky, until they were so high they disappeared.

"Did you see that?" the balloon seller asked.

"Yes," said the boy.

"Did the black balloons fly as high as the others?"

"Yes, Mister, they did."

"You see my boy, the balloons are like people. The important thing isn't their color, or what they look like on the outside. Rather, the important thing is what's inside. And what's inside you makes all the difference in life."

The thing inside of us that makes us go up is

Our attitude.

So remember friends  good and positive attitude is key to every approach......!!

LOOK of the Day!

BLUE is Fashion this year!! Black and blue and a little pop of color around the eyes.

I love this look for Spring because it brings in just enough color to get excited for warmer weather but with the long sleeves and black, it has not let go of winter completely.  Put together with some great sandals, this is an incredibly easy look to wear during the day without feeling like you are still in the "same old" jeans.

LOOK of the Day!

The thought of wearing the same color but in different shades has always been appealing to me.Try to stick to wearing subtle colors so that You don't end up looking like a rainbow. This trend is my favorite of the season So let’s give it a shot!

To create a monochromatic look, try playing with different textures. It's always more interesting when you have different materials incorporated in your outfit. 

Monochromatic Look! With Nude Bag and Ballerina's! and a tattoo!!

 So easy!

LOOK of the Day!!

Want to make sure your look is sheer perfection this spring? 

Enter the sheer chiffon blouse. Pretty and oh-so-versatile, these tops will be your new BFFs this season! Since sheer blouses are well, sheer, you need to layer them with either a cami or a bandeau. These tops are flowy, so tucking them into skirts or shorts creates a flattering figure that looks great on everyone! Need some fresh idea on how to style these tops.

Just have a look!
