Tailored To Perfection

Hello girlies!

I am a huge fan of Amal Clooney, not only for what an awesomesauce woman she makes but also for her style. There has been no outfit, no look of hers that turned me off till date. She nails all of them and with a great elegance. Her tailored formal outfit looks are the inspiration behind this one. It hugely excites me as I type out this blog because I know no matter how hard I try, I can't reach even 00.001% of her style, but I am glad to have given it a shot and love what it turns out to be!

Luck struck me while I was casually checking out Koovs sale the other day and happened to come across this skater dress. It took me by surprise with the absolutely gorgeous mint colour, perfect tailored detailing, the dream like frills on sleeve and the dapper button down pattern. I was amused by how could anything having so much going on yet be so lovely and for a steal deal!

I styled it with a tan sling, nude pumps, dainty gold necklace and geometric earrings. Since, it was a look that serves as a great formal wear idea, a watch was a must. For lips I chose, the colour of the year, "living coral" and added a nude matte eyeshadow on my eyelids. To sum it up, I went for a classic black pair of sunglasses and brushed my tresses open. 

This outfit has gone on to become one of my favourite ones with this look, what do you think? Isn't it too good enough to obsess so much over it? Put your thoughts in comments!

Denim Domination

Hey lovelies,

Have the "chilly like never before" Mumbai winters put you in a fix in terms of what to reach out to in your wardrobe other than sweaters and sweatshirts? Well, the solution lies right in front of your eyes which you may have taken for granted in this weather. It is what you are saving up for the summers, the denim jackets! 

If you are someone who could take some chill but not spend the whole weather wearing jeans and leggings, then denim jackets could be a great way to layer up over your dresses. Add a pair of boots and that should suffice to help beat Mumbai chills. Don't worry about invite eye rolls your way with those boots because probably this time even they are thinking to take their boots out on a walk on Mumbai streets. 

I threw a basic denim jacket over the classic white tee and a washy effect pair of jeans. I paired a sling in blush pink colour with it. Nude make-up is the trend of the year and that turned out to be a perfect fit for this look! 

To break the monotony of blue caused by the denim over denim look, I went for tangy nail colour. Love the way it makes my nails stand out. How did you find the look? Also, what would you team the denim jacket with this season? Lemme know in comments Chicas!

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!

5 Festive Must Haves From fbb

Hey Chicas,

The festive season is here and it's shopping time! You must have started looking everywhere for your festive attires from e-commerce apps to malls. With so many options around, you must be spoilt for choice. To help clear this confusion and then decide on what you should be going for, I have picked up 5 fashion must haves from the lastest festive collection of fbb. Check them out below!

1. Long Blue Kurti

You can either pair this one with leggings or wear it all by itself the way I did. It is a perfect go-to outfit for office during the festivals. When you don't wish to go all dressed up yet keep it festive looking, this is something that you should be going for. If you want to attend a festive celebration post office hours, just throw a long jacket like I have and you are good to go!

Orange Jacket MRP 799

2. White Palazzo

fbb has come out with a really cool white Palazzo that can be teamed up with almost everything you can imagine. Just to give you an idea of why it makes the best investment this festive season, I paired it with two different kurtis. You may notice how the elegance of the Palazzo adds to the oomph of the entire look. For a smart Indo Western look, you may pair gold bellies like I have.

Orange Kurti MRP 899

Black Kurti MRP 799

3. Black Crop Top Blouse

The festive collection of fbb has a whole new range of crop top blouses in black and gold. The black one seemed more versatile to me because of it's sleeves. It can easily go as a blouse over a saree or even as a choli. If you try clubbing it with a palazzo, I am sure it won't disappoint you either. I think it's a steal at the price you pay taking into consideration the quality, the detailing and the versatility.

Red Lehenga MRP 1299

4. Pink Lehenga 

I was confused when I saw this lehenga and a similar one in white at fbb. But, this made it to this list because of that black border. It is the pink black combo that screamed Navratri as well as Diwali to me! I had to style it up for you guys then. With other brands offering lehengas that are heavy as hell and cost a bomb of 3500 and nothing less, this one at the price it retails at is a great buy!

Gold Blouse MRP 1299 

Pink Dupatta MRP 699

5. Blue Jacket 

If you wish to ditch the lehenga this Navratri for a comfy ruled by the jacket look, let this be your pick. If you are heading for a Garba night after office hours, simply put this on and you are done! For a price that you pay, what you will get is a very chic festive looking great quality jacket for festivals to come.

Gold Bellies MRP 499

Hope you enjoyed this list of fashion must haves for the festive season. Let me know which ones are you eyeing to shop at fbb. Their lastest collection of outfits and footwear is bound to help you slay every festival in a very affordable way!

Namrata Joshipura for fbb - Inspired by Miss India

Hey Girlies,

If you were to make a wish upon a falling star what would it be? In my case, it would be a fresh new wardrobe full of designer outfits! However, with a sky full of pollution hovering over my city, it becomes a rare instance to spot a star. So, the idea of spotting a falling is quite far fetched. Then shall I bury my wish to have a designer wardrobe deep down in my heart? Nope, not when fbb has just come out with a designer collection inspired by the Miss India pageant carrying the label of ace designer Namrata Joshipura. With a vivid colour palette that ranges from warm to cool hues, designs that can be spotted on the fashion week's runway, cuts that compete with best in class designers, you will be spoilt for choice. Namrata Joshipura has taken utmost care to ensure you get that Miss India wali feeling when you slip yourself into her outfits at your nearest fbb store.

To help you get a sneak peek in to what the latest collection of fbb looks like, I have put together these looks. Check them out below:

1. Peplum Panache

The first top that I picked from the Miss India inspired collection by Namrata Joshipura for fbb was this gorgeous red peplum top. The embellishments on the sleeves and the neckline make the top ultra elegant. You would definitely want to save this one for a friend's sangeet or a party night. Pair it with a lehengas skirt like this and you are bound turn heads wherever you go.

2.  Asymmetric Attire

A cut like this with an embroidery like that is only possible when you have an ace designer like Namrata Joshipura on board to design outfits for fbb which you and me can adorn on regular basis. This floral embroidery work top can be styled in any way you want and help you seize the day. Be it for lunch or even on a casual day to work, it will give you that Miss India wali feeling always. 

3.  Midnight Masterpiece

This off shoulder midnight blue top is a perfect match for your dinner night outs. The embellishment work on it is beautifully done and adds to the chic quotient of it. If you wish to go for the same top in a warm hue, then you have orange as the colour option. So, see what your wardrobe lacks and accordingly go for the colour of your choice because a piece like this is a must have.

4. Orange Oomph

If you have been stacking all the nudes and dull colours in your wardrobe then a kurti like this can help add some life to it. On the styling front you don't have to do much with this one, just a pair of white leggings or palazzo is good enough to get you going. Just a reminder, Raksha Bandhan is round the corner and this one can make a great outfit idea.

5. Beige Beauty

This kurti has that signature cut of Namrata Joshipura to it with those sassy sleeves. It is for those who like to keep it toned down but still don't mind a bit of sequin here and there. While my camera fails to capture the exact details, the neckline and the hem both carry embellishment work that make it clear that it not any other kurti you will find around. Seems, something is giving us work wear goals.

6. Black Benefits

This one has to be my most favourite in the entire collection first because it is black. Black can go with anything. Black is never wrong. Black is timeless, classic, elegance, chic, sophisticated and always in trend. The next thing that makes this top my favourite pick is the bow tie it comes with. How adorable can a top get than this, guys? It has sleek minimal detailing of embellishment work on the collar and the sleeves. That's not it. It is a cold shoulder top as well. To just give you an idea of how versatile it is, I paired it with an easy breezy skater skirt and a super elegant net georgette lehenga skirt. Notice, how beautiful it looks even with the lehenga skirt.  

So, this were some of the picks from the latest collection of fbb inspired from Miss India and designed by Namrata Joshipura. I would really recommend you guys to go and check this one out because such collections are a rare chance to up your clothing game with designer outfits. If you worrying about price, stop because each of these are absolutely in your budget. Price range is 999-1499 only. A designer outfit at this price is a steal. So, don't miss it!
