Thank God it's Friday! 

I am extra happy since I get a long weekend due to the festival Eid.

So for this week's Fascinated or Fixated Fridays post I thought I will add to my review of 

'A' by Anubha.

For the uninitiated, 'A' by Anubha is a California based high-end designer label of khadi oriented clothing by Anubha Srivastav.

Click here to read about my previous review on her work

Launched in October last year, 'A' started with the Autumn Winter collection of Khadi jackets and has gone a long way since then. Currently, 'A' supplies jackets to Gotham City Film Studios, a Los Angeles based company, and is available online through her website & Facebook page.

Apart from high-end designer women's wear jackets, 'A' also does smart men's wear jackets for men who dress to impress!

'A' recently launched their Spring Summer range of classy vests & jackets in a myriad of colors. And for a special Indian element, these jackets have a subtle hint of tone on tone chikan embroidery.

       

 

 Appropriate for any occasion, these vests can be styled in various looks. I love the asymmetrical design of the sky blue vest.

A classic khadi  vest can add volumes of style to any outfit. If you too want to add an edge to your wardrobe, do check her website for more details on how to reach her. 

You can also click the 'A' by Anubha widget on my sidebar.

So what do you feel about these jackets?

As I have said time and again, I love accessories. Jewellery. Bags. Shoes. Scarves. I love them. 

So today's post - the Fascinated or Fixated Fridays post, being my blog's signature post will be on accessories!

Let me introduce you to Aditi Bhatt - Accessories & more. 

I found this brand through Facebook and I instantly fell in love with the collection. Launched in 2011, her brand stands for contemporary, colourful, & electryfying accessories. It’s a parade of hues you’ve never-seen-before. Beautiful,vibrant and full of life each piece is handmade with love. Unique designs with one of a kind enamel work. Stylish, wearable and a whole lot of fun! There is something for everyone!

Aditi Bhatt

"I graduated from NIFT(Gandhinagar) specialising in fashion and lifestyle accessories in 2011. After my course I started working on my label as I always had ideas I wanted to flesh. I wanted to make products that were ‘happy’ vivacious and full of life.And since colours have always been my weakness my products reflect that. I love working with enamel as it’s a versatile and fun medium to play with. I wanted to make jewellery that was fun and colourful and something that also had a strong luxurious feel to it." - Aditi Bhatt, as told to Fascinated or Fixated!

So now let see some of her designs.

It's happening on 1st August from 11:00 Am to 11:00 Pm. 

So if any of you are in Kolkata and are fashion lovers, do visit my stall, I will be there throughout the day spreading my love for handwoven textiles.

I sometimes wonder how at times I get really fascinated by some trends or colors for a really short while and then there are times when I get too stuck up on certain things as if I am fixated. Like for example, if I talk about colors, every season I have a new favorite. Right now its Coral. But the color that has kept me fixated  forever is Pink. 

Does it also happen to you guys or am I the only weird one?

If you are like me, I would love to hear about your fascinations or fixations, so do comment below to let me know how you like my latest designs?

Outfit Post - Neon+Pastel

My favorite colors this season are everything in neon and everything in pastel. A store window with neon/pastel clothed mannequins staring at me in flashy lights can bring happiness to me in the most gloomiest days. So, I just had to buy this neon coral colored blouse top from Vero Moda. Its really sheer and I love the tie-up string at the neckline.

Anyways, in my last post I wrote about my online shopping experience at fashion accessories brand Addons at their online website www.addons.co.in 

As I had mentioned that I really love their collection of necklaces, bracelets & earrings. The collection is absolutely contemporary, chic & trendy yet reasonably priced. Here are a few of the designs I liked.

Addons gold layered necklace with filigree design 

Addons silver coloured western necklace with floral cutout design

Addons gold and orange coloured tribal design statement necklace

Addons black and gold necklace with fabric trim detail

Addons black chain bracelet with rings

And now moving on to what I bought which is a neon green tribal inspired necklace and a black cutwork encrusted with diamonte bracelet.

 And I paired these with my coral blouse mentioned above and black jeggings.
