Hi beautiful people!

We're talking about embroidered clothes today which I believe should be on your must-buy winter list. Personally, I love details on clothes that I buy. It gives a thoughtful feeling to your outfit giving it that oomph it requires. I got my hands on this embroidered shirt and I am loving it to bits. I want to save it forever, really and I'm quite excited to share it with you all.

Tip: You can go for embroidered skirts, pants, blazers; the list is countless and not just limited to shirts.

I paired this beautiful navy shirt with knit pants to create a silhouette of my body. I wore a magenta camisole inside the shirt to give a little more color to my outfit and topped it off with a metal belt to highlight my waist.

Tip: Belts are amazing if you're an hourglass or pear shaped body to add detailing to your outfits.

I accessorized to its minimum by wearing just a set of gold rings and matched a magenta cross-body bag to my outfit completing with black wedges to create a comfortable, fuss free casual look.

Quick Pairing Guide

Day look : You don't have to limit yourself with pants; midi skirts + shirts are the next perfect combo for the girl next door look.

Evening look : Embroidered shirts will be perfect for evenings if you wear them with palazzos (tucked in/knotted) or maxi skirts.

Tip: You can wear embroidered shirts for layering too! By way of layering I mean as a jacket.

Hope you enjoyed the post. Also, if there are any suggestions or a post you'd like me to do; feel free to comment below.

Until Next Time,

Hey beautiful people!

I planned today's outfit around formal colors since each one of us comes to this dilemma of how to look dressed up in a formal outfit. Most of the work environments in India restrict us to "explore" our work wear and hence this outfit is merely an inspiration. You can pick up some ideas from it and jazz up your 9 to 5 hours. 

Tip: The simplest way to look different is to opt for high waist trousers.

I worked around my favorite beaded high waist pants which has a tad bit of Indian dhoti-style cut. I paired it with a chiffon blouse to give it a feminine touch, completed it with chunky nude heels (needless to say I could run in them as well) and a studded clutch.

Tip: If you cannot experiment with your work outfit due to certain constraints, fear not, you can definitely play up with fancy bags and shoes. 

Quick Pairing Guide:-

Opt for collarless blouses in formal colors i.e blacks, whites, blues or nudes.

Spice up your regular collar shirts with peter pan collars.

Go for peg trousers rather than straight-cut ones. (they are the ones which are tapering to a cuff like the one I'm wearing)

Go ahead and rock a stylish week :)

Until Next Time,

Hey everybody!

Well, just to break the monotony of outfit posts, I thought of sharing with you my favorite topic of discussion; Lipsticks! With the sky turning pink today, winter has officially begun. Though the daytime is almost like having another summer of the year, the evenings are beginning to be quite cool. 

I hardly buy anything seasonal i.e I do not agree that florals are only meant for summer. But there is still a color palette always in my head according to the season whenever I shop for anything. In the same way, I think this particular compilation can guide you through your next lipstick shopping trip as to which shades are hot for the season.

                            

1. MAC Ruby Woo

Is any lipstick list ever complete without a MAC in it? Hell no! And especially if it's one of their hottest selling shades. I selected Ruby Woo for this winter as my official red lipstick. It's just wonderfully red, warm red perhaps, which suits any skin tone. I don't unnecessarily hype up a product because it's apparently a cult for many famous people, but this darling is worth it.

2. Lakme 9 to 5 Cherry Chic

Brick red shade is another color you must look forward for, this season and if you want to start out with a red lipstick, this one's great! It's easy on the pocket and quite a unique shade. With the gorge matte finish that it gives, it's perfect for winters. And it makes my skin glow. Yes.

3. Maybelline Jewel Collection Fuchsia Crystal

Magenta is the must have color for the season and this lipstick can give you that super hot magenta pout with a little bit of shine. This one's easy on the pocket too. If you're not into a dark pout, you can just dab some of it to give a tint to your lips.

4. Maybelline Color Show Cream Caramel

First of all, color show lipsticks are a gem at a fraction of a price. The moment I swatched this caramel-ly shade on my hands, I knew it was meant for me! Look out for brownish orange shades for the day wear during winters. Though this one has shimmer in it, it isn't ugly, I promise.

5. Chambor Powder Matte Coral Rose

This one too is a day wear shade. Very plummy brown. But the velvet matte finish it gives is to die for, almost making this lipstick look like it costs a biggie. This is quite a common shade, the plummy brown, but it makes it's way for the winters totally!

Greetings Everyone!

I'm quite excited as I write about ruffles because personally I love to wear them! While some may find it a bit too cute and girly, I think if styled correctly it can look quite sophesticated. Every time I wear this particular ruffled shirt, I have at least one person asking me if it's my birthday! haha.

Tip: Find ruffles a bit overwhelming? Wear them in earthy tones (grey, olive, brown, nude) to rock it.

I wore my ruffled shirt over a midi dress knotted at the waist. This gave me a long curvy silhouette since the knot accentuated my waist. I think, ruffles go great for formal wear since you cannot do much on the formal front. I kept accessories at its minimum by just wearing the right pair of earrings, a sleek bag and finished off with a pair of spike-y heels which gave the entire outfit a bit more texture.

Tip: When wearing ruffles, try not to overload accessories since that can draw off attention from your key piece.

Quick Pairing Guide :

Day - With wide leg trousers for a formal look, The gold ol' jeans for a casual day out, any type of skirt for a more feminine look.

Evening - High waist palazzo. 

Hope this post inspired you enough to try out ruffles :)

Until Next Time,
