Ever since I saw this print at the Alexander Wang Spring/Summer '14 show, I have been meaning to get my hands on it! Its fun & quirky and fits right into the whole Logo trend which seems to be one of the most worn trend this season. Simple Logo t-shirts paired with skirts, shorts or just simple white jeans & a blazer create an effortless chic look. It's a trend that one can easily incorporate into your everyday style. Invest in one Logo tee and you could create so many different outfits with it!

Some other fun trends this season are Pastels with baby pinks & powdery blues being the key focus, leather or faux leather skirts in white, nude & pastel shades, Busy floral prints, Sports inspired pieces and Metallics! Personally, I have been loving this mix of feminine and quirky pieces. FabAlley is a great one stop shop for all things trendy. Being an online store, it delivers every where in India and that too within a week! I have had such an amazing experience with their website ever since I started shopping from there almost 2 years go. Their website is easy to browse and has some really affordable trendy pieces at all times! Which is your favourite trend this season? Tag me on Instagram and show me what you're loving!

Jewel Tones

Getting ready for the party season is never an easy task. So many weddings, cocktails, birthdays, anniversaries, somehow, December is always a crazy month! Now you can barely control what's to come, but to avoid the last minute 'I-have-nothing-to-wear' panic, you can plan what you'll wear! I love my dresses, especially for occasions, because it's a perfect outfit all on it's own. But one dress won't do the trick. So here's a quick guide on how you can make your wardrobe party-friendly with just a few pieces!

- Look for that one dress that fits you like a dream! A vibrant hue will always make sure that all eyes are on you. If you're not ready to wear all that colour yet, the classic LBD should do the trick.

- This season, it's all about the pencil skirts and mini skirts. Find one in a colour or print that can be paired with various tops/blouses. A pencil skirt accentuates your curves and is perfect for those glamorous nights!

- A little sequins is a must around this time! Be it a jacket, a pair of sparkly shorts, an embellished dress and if you're feeling a bit daring, even a jumpsuit. Pair it with jackets/blazers and minimalistic accessories to create the perfect ensemble.

- A drappy blouse is another essential you cannot skip. It's the perfect blend of conservative yet sexy and you could pair it with your favourite skinny jeans to dance all night! It can't get easier.

-Statement accessories! A pair of statement earrings or necklace is something that you must invest in. It adds so much to a simple outfit and it'll instantly transform your old black dress into a brand new one! A nude structured clutch/sling is also something that will get you through these array of events flawlessly.

So when you hit the malls this weekend, make a mental check list of all these things so that you don't miss out on anything!

Pleats

Skirt- Styledrive for Spring Break, Shirt- Zara, Shoes- Asos, Necklace- Bandra, Bangles & rings- Forever21

Pleated skirts have been an essential for my summer wardrobe for the past few years. So when I was working on the Styledrive for Spring Break collection, I was keen on adding this style to it. They are feminine, fun, hassle free and can easily work for a day time or night time look. I like to balance the feminine pleats out with a button up. I also added a statement necklace in a contrasting colour to add some more dimension to the outfit. As for the shoes, I have been wanting to wear these babies ever since I got them. Like every other shoe, these  too have a story behind. I think I'll leave that for later though. As of now I am just basking in the glory of these gorgeous pleats.

Summer Cocktail

Tank- H&m, Skirt- Styledrive for Spring Break Collection, Necklace- Colaba ,Cuff- Topshop, Rings- Blur & Accessorize, Bag- H&m, Sandals- Bata (last year)


I love how colours get so bright during summer and the way orange and purple are taking over the world (courtesy Pantone and Prabal Gurung). I have been wearing so much of both the colours individually but I was surprised to see them go so well together. Not that I haven't seen other people rock this combination before(Gucci spring 2011 should ring some bells) but you know it's always the best when you see yourself doing it right.
I have also been adorning my skirts & dresses like never before. The heat in this city keeps getting worse and what better way to beat the heat than with flowy silhouettes? I also prefer wearing lighter fabrics and minimalistic pieces during summer because I cannot skip my jewellery no matter what. And with statement jewellery making such a huge comeback how could I be left behind? After all I own more jewellery than clothes. No kidding. I think I have spoken enough (here) about how I think investing in accessories is the right thing to do.
Besides me blabbering about my outfits, I have just been busy with finishing off the last segment of the Styledrive for Spring Break collection. It has been such a great learning experience for me! Anyway, hope you guys are having a splendid summer. Until next time.
