The White Shirt

Shirt & Culottes- FabAlley, Denim Jacket- Mango, Shoes- River Island(asos), Necklace- FabAlley

Your style inevitably portrays your personality and moods. A White shirt resembles a clean slate to me. So whenever I am not in the mood to put my thinking cap on or when I am wearing a piece that needs some neutrality, a white shirt is what I tend to grab. Not only does it form the perfect base, it also adds a crispness to the look that a t-shirt can't. To make it casual & add a bit of that 90's edge, tie up the fronts into a knot.
So what are the things you need to keep in mind when you're out looking for that perfect white shirt? The fit. Depending on your style, pick between a well fitted one or a super casual lose fit. For me I have one of each. The fitted one works great with outfits like these & the other would be great for layering or with ripped skinny jeans. I am very particular about the details on the shirt. I prefer the buttons being a similar hue to give a streamline effect. You could even play around with different collar types. Go for a white shirt with a Chinese collar if you want a more feminine appeal. A cropped one would also make a great basic!

For this look, I paired it with these new culottes I got from FabAlley. If you've been living under a rock you're probably wondering what are Culottes? They are knee length trousers, cut with full legs to resemble a skirt! Even though these have been around for a year now, being a pear shaped woman sometimes restricts me when it comes to trying out certain trends. Whenever I tried culottes in the past, if they fit perfectly on my hips, they would be loose on my waist and if it fit my waist it was super fitted at the hips as well so I never ended up buying any! But I decided to try my luck one last time and it worked. These fit perfectly! I love the monochrome floral print which instantly adds a bohemian vibe to the look.
To add a pop of colour, I punctuated the look with hints of red. There is something about red lips, RayBan's and a denim jacket that can make anything look vintage. So I threw on this denim jacket to add that extra dimension & loved the way it turned out. The super cute Lanvin inspired Love necklace completed the look.

What do you guys think of culottes? If you do try this trend out don't forget to share photos on Instagram and tag me!

Denim Innovation

Jeans- LEE Jeans, Long Jacket- Express, Knotted Tank- Forever21, Shoes- Steve Madden, Choker Necklace- here, Cuff- (similar) here & here, Earring worn as cuff- StyldrvXSf

A trusted pair of denims is an answer to almost all of your fashion problems! On days when I can't seem to hit a jackpot with my styling abilities, I always look towards my jeans. A simple, well fitted pair of blue denims make the perfect base for styling day time outfits. I would either just throw on a cute t-shirt or a printed shirt or even just a simple white tank. Even though I love jeans, they seem to take a backseat during the summer months. So when Lee contacted me to introduce me to their brand new line of No Sweat denims, I was super excited to check them out and see if that actually works. 

I visited the store and tried on a bunch of them and fell in love with light blue pair. The fit is amazing and it really does not seem taxing to wear these during thewarm days. It's made with a technology that helps evaporate sweat faster keeping you cooler and drier no matter what you do in them or how hot it is! This range also includes a linen blend denim which is much lighter and hence perfect for sunny climes, another one that is enriched with moisturizing elements that protect and nourishes your skin and another pair of Fragrant denims that will help you stay fresh and invigorated all day long! With these in your wardrobe, your summer worries will all be sorted. Slip into one to experience and embrace the season of cool.

For this outfit, I decided to start with a simple knotted tank from Forever21 and layered it with this shirt dress from Express! I have been loving the long outer wear trend so this satiated that need. For jewellery, I kept it simple with a modern choker necklace and some cuffs from my StyldrvXSF collection which btw is available at discounted prices only until the 31st May. I hope you guys are having a wonderful summer! Do follow me on Instagram for everyday updates and interactions.

Dreaming of Summer

Dress, Bikini, Shorts, Slippers, Watch, Sunglasses, Hat,Beach Bag- Roxy, Sunscreen- Avene, Yoga Mat- HeatlthKart

As it begins to get hotter, all I can dream of is escaping to the beach! Doning floral beach dresses, wearing no make up & giving the feet a break from those high heels. While heading to the beach, whether here in Mumbai or while holidaying, I always make sure to carry a beach bag that can easily hold the essentials I would need for those few hours. This bag can easily be carried to the pool as well! I tend to carry a bright printed bikini set, a pair of shorts to throw on later, sunglasses, a Sunscreen with high SPF to protect the skin from sun exposure, a hat, some magazines & a bottle of water! Staying out in the sun for long hours can dehydrate you so it's essential that you carry water with you or you can even switch it up with some coconut water!

Every year at this time, I start my search for some new bikinis and swimwear. I generally tend to buy mine online from certain websites but this year I found some really great ones at Roxy! They had an amazing collection of over 25 styles and the fit is great too! Another thing that got me hooked were the bright & colourful slippers! I got one for me & a few for my mum/friends too. I even found a great beach dress & a beach bag that would match almost all my outfits! So if you're fond of heading out to the beach or for a holiday and you're looking for some beach appropriate clothing and accessories, do visit the Roxy store or you can buy them here. Chances are you will find almost everything under the same roof!

Clarks Uncovered: Take 3

Shoes- Clarks, Dress- Forever21, Cropped Top- H&M, Denim Jacket- Topshop Bag- Colaba, Sunglasses- Rayban

This was my day three look. I had a long day of sourcing & meetings ahead of me so I decided to start with a huge breakfast at Pizza by the Bay! In my first two looks, I tried to carry the army green colour of the shoes to my outfits as well, but this time I decided to skip it completely! I layered a neutral grey jersey dress with this striped red & white cropped top to add a pop of colour. I love the different stripes on the top and how it compliments the grey dress. I threw on a denim jacket to add more dimension! An amazing flee find and my favourite sunglasses was all I needed to finish the look.

For those of you who missed out on my previous posts, I was chosen as one of the 10 Style Ambassadors for Clarks's Spring/Summer Style guide project called Clarks Uncovered. I was sent a pair of shoes from their new line and I had to style them through a week in 5 different ways! This week, I am going to be uploading all the 5 looks, day by day! I hope this gives you everyday outfit inspiration & makes you want to try these shoes out!

My Monday's are mostly relaxed, wherein I am usually catching up with new emails, running some errands and roaming out & about. I chose to wear this floral dress as a skirt and paired it a simple white tee and the staple army green jacket! It's been fairly chilly in Mumbai which makes this outfit completely appropriate! I threw on a tan bag and my grandfathers vintage Raybans to complete the look. What do you guys think?

Vogue Fashion's Night Out with Ciroc

Dress- Romwe, Necklaces- Zara,Accessorize,Forever21, Bag- Michael Kors

The world's most fashionable late-night shopping party was back for the 5th time and this time it was held in Mumbai! The previous installments of this global fashion event were held in New Delhi and hence when the venue shifted to Mumbai, I lapped up the opportunity to witness this fashion extravaganza. Fashion's Night Out is basically another excuse to dress up to the nines and shop till you drop. The Palladium mall was bathed in fuchsia and welcomed shoppers, designers and stars! Many participating stores offered cupcakes and cocktails besides exciting offers to tempt the buyers to swipe their credit cards and indulge in retail therapy. The mall wore the festive spirit till midnight, as the stores stayed open for extended hours and catered to fashion lovers across Mumbai.

I had the opportunity to partner with Ciroc who also happens to be one of the sponsors for the Fashion's Night Out and boy did I have a wonderful time! The dazzling blue and silver installation was one of the most eye catching things with people queuing up to get clicked around it. Ciroc partnered with some amazing brands like Canali, Diesel, Thomas Pink, Kenneth Cole and Paul Smith and served delectable cocktails to shoppers and fashion fiends. Shopping around with complementary cocktails in tow- Perfect.

Some other spots of popular interests included the Le15 counter and Vogue's Pop Up store. You had the chance to choose from over 800 designer steals by 95 designers! The amazing merchandise you could snatch included a Manish Arora designed tote bag, signature T-shirts by Sabyasachi and Monisha Jaisingh and a special FNO India beauty pouch by Play Clan. All of these were also available on koovs.com for those outside Mumbai. This explained the frenzy and serpentine queues outside the store throughout the event!

All in all I had a wonderful time at the event and got a lot of inspiration from some stylishly dressed people. For those of you who missed out, there's always a next time!

Celebrate Life Responsibly!
