Day to Night in Blazers

Burgundy Blazer, Floral Blazer, Gold Sequins Blazer- Styldrv for Spring Break (a/w '12) collection, Grey tee & leopard print sandals- Zara, Blue denims- VeroModa, Metallic bag- Asos, White tank & black denims- H&M, Studded bag- Zara, Spiked necklace- Blur, Blue Silk dress- River Island, Jewellery- assorted

I love wearing blazers. Unfortunately for me, this city gives me merely 2 months to actually enjoy wearing them through the day. So as soon as it got a bit pleasant, I grabbed the chance to flaunt my new blazers. Be it a casual meeting, a friendly lunch or a glam soiree, blazers are all I've been reaching for. I would tell you how versatile they are but I'm sure you already know that.

For the first look, I paired this gorgeous on-trend oxblood/burgundy blazer with a laid back grey tee with leather patches tucked into a simple pair of denims. An overload of gold jewellery, a metallic bag, leopard print sandals and I'm out the door.

For the next look, I went for a winter floral blazer which was perfect for that quick catch up lunch. A basic tank top and my trusted black jeans with burgundy pumps was my choice of attire. Keeping the rest of the outfit basic helps the blazer shine in all its glory. I accessorized with some rose gold jewellery and a studded clutch to add some edge.

For the last outfit, I had to pick this glam gold sequins blazer. I was heading to a glam soiree and I would settle for nothing less. Paired it with a printed silk blue dress to balance the look. Finished the ensemble with a tiny gold bag and minimalistic gold heels.

I hope this video gave you a few styling ideas. And for those of you who want to buy these blazers but want to try them on first, this is your lucky week.

Little Black Skirt

Skirt, Shirt(diy collar tips)- Faballey, Tights- Forever New, Necklace- Aldo, Ring & Spiked bracelet- Blur, Bow bracelet- Forever21, Dangle bracelet- Accessorize, Bag & Shoes- Zara

I have been pinning leather skirts on my pinboard since the past three months. I saw a few things around but pencil skirts is not my thing, so what I wanted was a perfectly full skater skirt! This is the closest I will get to wearing leather because my city gives me merely two months of mild winter to enjoy. And this skirt fits right in. I was lucky that the Faballey team contacted me and were sweet enough to send over this gorgeous pleather skirt in black and oxblood(I couldn't decide which one I wanted more) along with a few other goodies. I love the way it fits and the length is just perfect to wear with either opaque stockings or on it's on for a night out with a sassy top. This is definitely one of my favourite fall fashion items, what's your current favourite?

Quick tip :- Wearing black shoes with tights will elongate your legs!

How To : Spike It Up

Shirt(old)- Pull & Bear, Spikes- Something Special(Bandra)

I have been loving anything  and everything with studs or spikes on it. But I don't wish to spend all my money on these trendy pieces. So, while I splurged on a few items, I had to find a cheaper alternative to deal with this obsession and hence this do-it-yourself  idea! Follow these simple steps and you can stud anything from your t-shirts to your shorts to the pockets on your jeans. So let's get started!

What you need :-

- A shirt or any basic piece
- Spikes (whatever size you want)
- A needle
- Matching thread
- Some sewing skills


Steps

1) Once you've selected the piece you want to add spikes to, select a thread in a matching colour and thread your needle.

2) I wanted to add the spikes to the pocket of my shirt. I decided to add three lines of spikes and marked the spots with a marker so that it's easier once I start sewing them on.

3) Once done with the first line, I followed the marked spots and continued with the other two. When you're done, don't forget to knot the loose end of the thread.

And that's it. That's how easy this is. I am in love with my new shirt and have been flaunting it around since the day it was done. So this weekend, grab a cup of your favourite coffee and take on this easy task!

Red Lips x StyleDrive For Spring Break(F/W '12)

Shirts- StyleDrive for Spring Break(F/W '12)Coming soon, Lipsticks- MAC's Lady Danger, Russian Red, Media

A scarlet pout is so dependable. Be it the classic pin-up red, the bright orange red or this season's favourite, burgundy. See how me and my friends are wearing three completely different shades of red in the video?! Rely on it to brighten any dull day or add that extra spark to your outfit. I love wearing a red lip at any given time of the year! But for those of you who are still shying away, now is the perfect time to start. 

You can choose from a variety of red hues depending on your skin tone and outfit. Who doesn't love the classic red pout? But if you're already comfortable with that, step out and try a few other hues. A bright orange red is what I rely on for all those grey days. It's the perfect day time, bright lip. As for the nights, I've been enjoying the deeper berry shades. Red is such a classic color, not experimenting with it would be unfair. So this season go out and rock that perfect pout!

Also, if you're wondering where our shirts are from then let me tell you that you can buy them very soon as they are a part of the StyleDrive for Spring Break (F/W '12) collection! I am super excited as this one is going to be even grander. You beautiful women supported us so wonderfully last time and we hope that the new collection will blow your mind just as much. From sequins to red hues to fall florals, we have everything covered. Follow me on Facebook to be the first one to know all about the collection and for more updates!

A tip :- If you want your red lips to last longer, apply the lipstick and blot it a few times before you apply it for the final time. This will stain your lips and help the colour to stay right there for hours!
