When in doubt, go Irish!

"Alcohol is man's worst enemy but the Bible says love your enemey"

And that is exactly what we do! :-p

So last week my sister and I went to meet our childhood friend since both of them were in town after a very long time.
We went to the newly opened Irish Pub in broad daylight. And obviously it was empty because who goes to a pub at 1 in the afternoon. But we ended up having a great time and we laughed a lot! The food was good but the place is definitely over priced because we got a massive bill later on :-p
I wore my amazing Alto Moda black paneled jeggings with an over sized dolman sleeved top from AND.

OOTD with Triveni Sarees!


Hi Everyone!
I am really excited to share with you my shopping experience with Triveni Sarees!
Trivenisarees.com is an online shopping portal for an exquisite range of Indian wear. So I was thrilled when they approached me for a outfit post on my blog. 
I was really impressed by the collection they had online and finally chose an anarkali style embroidered cotton salwar suit in cream & green. After filling up a very detailed measurement sheet, finally my order was in place and I received the lovely outfit in just 24 days. It was accompanied with straight pants that I had ordered and a very pretty duppatta.

Here's a first look of the outfit!

Sadly the straight pants was a little tight, so I paired the kurta with a churidaar and it still looked fabulous. Here are the final images of my OOTD with Triveni Sarees!

This is the actual green color of the outfit. In all the other pictures, it looks kind of teal blue.

I love the embroidery on the neckline, which looks like a very pretty necklace.

The fitting of the kurta was perfect and I really loved it! The color is very rich and goes really well with the cream base. The kurta is made in Cotton with Chiffon sleeves and the duppatta is in Georgette.

The embroidery on the sleeves is done very neatly and I don't know about you guys but I feel it helps in slimming my fat arms. Happy me :-) !

Here is what I saw on the website and what I actually got. Definitely a difference in color but I like the actual one more than the one on the website.

4 ways to wear floral this season!





This year the floral trend was presented in a very arty form.
From Christopher Kane's botanical flower drawings to Jonathan Saunders's sketchy floral and everything in between, I think the runway has given us enough options in floral for this season!
So how do you put the runway into your closet without burning a hole in your pocket? Glad you asked!

To help you with this, I created 4 looks to work the floral trend into your daily wardrobe. This is just for inspiration, so do go ahead and give it your own personal touch.

FOR WORK

For the workplace, I would suggest a fun floral printed shirt with basic trousers. Keep accessories to a minimum but do invest in a good watch. Also, make sure your handbag not only compliments your needs but your style as well!

FOR BRUNCH

During the day, play around with a casual floral dress and some chunky accessories. A slim belt will accentuate your curves without drawing too much attention. And never walk out of that door with sunscreen!

FOR EVENINGS


For a fun night out, opt for printed pants with a jeweled collar top. Put some bling on and you are good to go!

AT THE BEACH

This fun floral-fruity bikini would be perfect for a day out on the beach. Over sized sunglasses and flip flops are enough to complete your look.

So these were my suggestions on ways to wear floral this season. How are you wearing this trend this summer? I would love to know so do write to me!

Addons....Spring Summer 2014

Hello Everyone! Long time no see!
I made a huge shift to a new city and a new job so I got a little irregular with my posts. But I am here now and I have a new review. 

So, Addons has launched its new Spring Summer 2014 collection. And as I have said before, their collections are always amazing. I really loved the new bags & shoes. Jewelry and other accessories was another plus point.






The Convertible Handbag





They have a wide range of necklaces to choose from. 



They have equally exciting bracelets and hair accessories.



And here is what I got for myself.



 I was really amazed by their new collection and I would recommend everyone to check their stores out before the collection is sold out!

Have a happy week!

Long time no Outfit Post!

I know it's been for ever since I did an outfit post because you know.....so many reasons!
Anyhoo, here I am! So basically I am bit busy with my work and two exhibitions next month which is why I didn't have anything to post for a while.
But last week, my sister came back home along with her friend. So we decided to show her our city, since her friend is from Malaysia and its her first time in Kolkata.
So our first and only tourist destination, the Victoria Memorial. I wore tangerine jeggings and the overly cliche'd monochrome stripe tunic with gold accessories and a messy hairdo.
Enjoy the pictures.
