Basics Revisited

October marks the come back of the heat wave in Mumbai. It's the month when the weather seems to get a little confused between the monsoon and the winter. The confusion culminates into it landing into what feels nothing else but like summers. This has got me resort to summer basics full of florals and bright colours before I step into the chilly weather of fur boots, coats, sweaters, sweatshirts, hoodies and cardigans. 

I have put together an "I don't feel like wearing a dress, nor do I want to wear skirts, I think I will go with my most favourite pair of denims," kinda look! I teamed a fresh mango ice cream coloured tank top with floral motifs with my most comfy pair of denim jeggings. To add some spunk I went for a pair of metallic silver shoes and metallic gold earrings thereby breaking the fashion rule of, "Silver and gold are a big no-no!" The red sling helped add warmth to the look while the clear glasses gave it a hint of retro quotient. 

Overall it has turned out to be a basics styled like not so basics type of look. I hope you enjoyed it and would love to know your take on how else would you style a basics revisited look in comments.

The Monsoon Romance

I have always been a sucker for ruffles, puff sleeves and floral styles. It makes for a timeless piece, giving you an elegant look provided you balance out the cuteness of it. I have put together a chicish look, by teaming up a grey ruffled paper bag waist palazzo with my sea green floral print puff sleeved crop top. 

I got both of these from Bangkok. In fact, even the burgundy red sling bag is from my last shopping in this capital of city of Thailand. To further enhance the elegance of the look, I paired my nude pumps along. Dainty earrings were added as quintessential items for this kind of look. 

To avoid looking cute and kiddish with the puff sleeves, I went for a clear pair of aviator glasses. They immediately made me look more mature and lady like. While fresher tones of lipsticks like pink and red can make you younger, I went for a more warm toned plumish lip colour. I gave a miss to bracelets or watch to avoid looking over accessorised. However, I wore a statement ring from keeping my hands look completely empty. 

To top all of it, I paired a super chic pink umbrella with a lace my sister got me from Bangkok. You may watch what more stuff we got from there in my Bangkok shopping haul video up on my YouTube channel.

Let me know how did you find this look which can work wonders as a date or even as a semi-formal look.

Shopping On A Budget #fbbFashionHaul

Hey Girls!

The sale season has hit the malls and it gets hard to resist the urge to shop especially when you are on a budget. Rather than shopping outfits that are similar to what you already own, it is a wise idea to make a list of what you badly need in such a case. I did some mindful shopping in the fbb sale and grabbed some steal deals under Rs. 1000. Take a look below!

1. Summer Ready

Since I had already shopped enough for winter wear in the last few months, I went looking for summer wear in the fbb sale. I found this tropical oh so breezy off shoulder top for a flat 40% off. Can't wait to style it with tassel earrings and my favourite pair of Lee Copper jeggings that I got from the sale.

2. Gingham Gurl

Gingham has been such a huge trend last year and I don't see it going anywhere any soon. I didn't wish to go for the most commonly spotted off shoulder gingham top or a bell sleeves dress. Instead I came across this very interesting Gingham shirt with a tropical twist in the fbb sale for a flat 40% off! I loved this one so much that you will find me styling it in my next blog post.

3. Boho Missy

I remember eyeing this same dress in red colour the last time I went shopping to fbb. When I saw this on a flat 40% off I had to bring it home. It is so wearable, comfortable and summer friendly that I already see myself wearing it way too often in the coming months.

4. Bling Blazer

This midnight blue blazer with bling all over it makes for a dreamy wardrobe must have. It is going to up the style game of any outfit as soon as you slip it on. The best part is that it was for a  flat 50% off in the fbb sale. It was the one steal deal that I came across in the sale.

5. Most Wanted Jeggings

Finding the right pair of denims for me is a task. When I tried these pair of Lee Copper denims, I felt I found my soulmate in them. They fit me so well! I decided to pick one in black and one in blue because I am going to be wearing them every now and then. They were at a pleasing discount of flat 50%!

Other than these there was a lot of amazing stuff in the sale. Boots, leather jackets, fur jackets, sweat shirts, denims and party dresses. It was one of the most smart shopping spree I went on and I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it. Let me know your thoughts on which one was the best buy in comments!

Just Jacket Up!

Hola chicas!

The city is beginning to get the chills and for a change they are chilled enough to bring out our winter wear from of wardrobes. That pair of boots, that leather jacket or that oversized sweater which you bought with a huge hope that Mumbai will someday get cold enough for them can finally make an appearance this season!

fbb has come out with massive winter wear collection that includes fur hoodies, embroidery sweatshirts, sweaters, slayful boots and leather jackets. I happened to pick few of these and chose to style the leather jacket.

Velvet is totally in vogue this season and will continue to be so for quite a while. Hence, I paired the fbb leather jacket with it. For bottoms I picked a super comfortable knitted pair of leggings and gave denims a miss this time. Footwear had to be a kick-ass pair of boots to balance out the oomp oozing out of the leather jacket. Overall it turned out to be the most comfortable chic biker look you would come across for the winters.

Comment and let me know how would you style a leather jacket and would you pick the same black one like I did or choose to go for some other hue like beige or brown from fbb's leather jackets collection!
