Winter Jumper Outfit Inspiration

Winter might be ending soon, but the nip in the air is still making it the perfect weather to adorn some cool bright jumpers in style. In particular, I am an avid fan of jumpers, because they are one of the most versatile pieces to style, and can easily be dressed up or down to suit the occasion. This winter, I decided to push the boundaries and play around with some fun and new ways to style a jumper.

The first look is not as much about how you style the jumper as it is about what type of jumper you select. In gloomy weather, it is instinctive to turn to a darker palette of navy blue, black and grey, but I urge you to try something different – perhaps, a pop of colour to brighten up the day? For this look, I brightened up good old jeans and black t-shirt combination with a vibrant yellow jumper from SheIn.

The chunky, oversized style of the jumper gave the ensemble an effortlessly stylish feel, and I finished it off with a bright pink scarf to cut through the yellow and tie the look together. The rest of my look – shoes, accessories and makeup – was kept purposefully simple. I wanted the colour palette to do the talking. And it did.

Shein – Drop Shoulder Lantern Sleeve Slit Textured Cardigan

 Usually, when the winter rolls around, we pack away our summer staples and push them to the back of our closet, only to bring them out again when the cold weather is truly behind us.

For my second look, I started to think about how I might incorporate a summer staple into a winter ensemble – layering was my answer! I threw on one of my favourite summer dresses – a beautiful yellow piece with a gorgeous floral print – over a pair of trusty blue jeans. But there was no way I could step out onto the street with my arms bare in this freezing weather!

And so, I slipped into a cosy jumper, which finished off the look in style. I deliberately chose a more muted maroon shade with a very simple pattern, so that the jumper would not clash with the summer dress I was sporting below it. Not only does this look make a great style statement; it also enables you to mix and match for new outfits, without breaking the bank.

Shein – Boat Neck Striped Knitwear

If colours are not your cup of tea, that’s completely alright. You can still sport a neutral, even monochrome, outfit without looking boring. The trick is to play around with textures.

For my final look, I chose a grey colour palette – but wanted to create a look that was still exciting, with the jumper as the star attraction. So I opted for a grey jumper with a bold start print and paired it with a textured skirt, sheer stockings, a grey felt hat and my trusty booties.

Although most of the items were grey, their different shades and textures gave the outfit some extra oomph. I love a good pop of colour so I finished the look off with a vibrant handbag, but you could easily sport a chic leather bucket bag or tote instead.

Shein – Star Pattern Boat Neck Sweater

The next time you wear a jumper, think of it as a central part of your outfit rather than something that is obscuring it. Play around with prints, colours, sizes and textures – the possibilities are endless!

 

Need New Year’s Party Outfit inspo

December is the most wonderful time of the year. It’s like the FRIDAY for the full month, filled with parties beginning from Christmas to New Year. It’s that time of the year again where we gather all our finest outfits from our wardrobe. Out with the boring winter hues and in with the inner disco diva.

Christmas is too sparkly said no one ever!  I love adding some sparkle to my Christmas and New Year outfit. Each year I start hunting for my perfect holiday outfit for over a month. This year has been no different. A ton of shopping cardio session I have found my perfect dress for this holiday season. With a little bit of sparkle and a lot of style, I am all geared up for the party month.

This party season make sure to get your holiday dressing on point. A classic little black dress is a safe option but who says that it has to be plain Jane style? Give the staple outfit a fashionable twist with some lace or shimmer detailing. Add some feathers or embellishments to make your outfit stand out. Feeling bold? Go for a smoking velvet black suit for a refreshing twist. I picked out a LBD with a twist for this season.

The Arabesque Dress from Coast is eye-catching limited edition collaboration with The Royal Ballet. This feather printed asymmetrical dress is designed to turn heads at any event you attend. The fitted bodice and sweeping high low skirt make me feel like a ballerina floating on the runway. This fall-winter has been all about prints. The Arabesque Dress takes this trend into the holiday season with a stunning dress that’s festive and timeless in its own way.

I paired this dress with a glamorous Jamie Sparkle Necklace and Ivy Longline Earrings from Coast. The timeless design and the sparkling crystals are perfect for dressing up the V-neck line of the Arabesque Dress. The sparkling zirconia leaves channel the inner diva in you and matches perfectly well with the feather print pattern on the dress.

As you know I am a huge fan of some sequins, shimmer or sparkle when it comes to holiday dressing. This year I decided to add a glitzy touch to my outfit with a Myra Glitter Clutch Bag. It’s a statement piece with glitter ombre effect. The envelope bag comes with a detachable chain strap, so it can be worn as a sling bag or can be held in your hand and ended up adding a little more sparkle to my outfit by matching my Glitter Clutch with silver statement heels.

Summer Fun with FatFace

All seasons are beautiful as they all bring a peace and happiness of its own kind. Still, summer time is usually the best, as it not only give us a beautiful tan but tons of memories.


It’s the season of warm weather, the sunshine, blooming flowers and green grass.  I love this season and tend to enjoy summer days by hiking in the woodland or just strolling around the parks and soaking up the sun while watching the flowers bloom. Or even plan a small picnic by the river in the park with family.

Weather changes. Every season come and go. But eventually what stays with us are the trends that followed.

An upcoming trend this season is the denim jacket.   Denim is a way of life. Wearing a denim is always a good idea. Demin is like love, it’s always in. You don’t ever have to think twice it’s always in and on trend.

You can go for denim on denim look or pair the denim style with your dresses to create a retro boho look. I have created two unique summer style outfits with Fatface. Fatface is a great brand with outfits and clothes for life outside 9 to 5.

The first outfit is perfect for a summer stroll in the park and relaxing with your friends and family. I have paired an Abbie Rustic Aztec Dress with a denim jacket which is perfect for all the season round the year. You can pair this denim jacket with jeans, trousers or even your summery maxi dress. This flowy sleeveless dress is very flattering and perfect for this warm weather. I paired this outfit with brown strappy sandals which are perfect for long walks. The outfit is so breezy and comfortable. I can wear it even in my daily routine when I’m going out in the sun while exploring new things.

We all know that jeans are always a good idea. But twisting the idea of jeans and wearing a denim jacket brings my outfit in limelight. Not only making me comfortable, but this is helping me define the versatility of my dress paired with a denim jacket.

I paired this carefree look with a broken stripe is woven shopper bag. The bag is extremely handy and spacious enough for all your adventures throughout the day. The bag has a suede strap which adds an edgy look to the bag. If you are traveling or going out on a holiday then this is a must have bag.

Outfit Details:

The second fun and easy outfit for this holiday season is the lightweight textured Stella Cami. I have paired this classic and comfortable top with cropped jeans. These cropped jeans have a stylish fit which is great for hiking or an outdoor date. If you really want to experiment, you can wear vibrant color pants which would make your look completely different and will add a bit of funk to your outfits.


When exploring the city, I like to carry a few essential things like a sunscreen, scarf, sunglasses and more which I love to carry in a unique and spacious bucket bag. The bucket bag is a great addition to the wardrobe. It’s a mix of leather and has contrasting straw work.

Last but not the least the most important accessory for summer fashion is a stylish pair of sunglasses.  Sunglasses are a must have for this season. They become even important when you can’t be bothered to put your makeup on. And yes, life is short to wear boring glasses. Always carry a stylish pair of sunglasses. You never know, when you might need them. Whether you choose to go running, play tennis or simply just go window shopping these stylish outfits will be a great addition to your wardrobe.

Summer Days Perfect Partner – A Flowy Camisole Tops

As someone said, Life isn’t always perfect but your outfit can be. We should always make some investments in dressing up, because fashion may fade but it’s your style that invades peoples hearts and minds.

One good thing about wearing tops is that they are comfortable and easy to style, though I love to wear dresses in summer for the carefree look and casual days, I more often end up pairing tops with skirts, jeans or shorts to create different looks.

From everyday essentials to smart casuals, there are so many different types of styles, colors, patterns, and prints. Every season has its own different trends, pick the perfect look this season with this chic summer style trend. This trend is really good for your holiday season and festive looks, since Summer is all about breezy, flowy and romantic looks. Summers can be both lazy as well as fun loving. Surviving under the beneath of the sun can be difficult at times. Thus, it becomes important to dress

The vibrant colours, flowy materials, fun and quirky prints make summer fashion much more enjoyable. This spring summer season has been all about bearing your shoulder and adding statement sleeves to your summer outfits. You must have read my previous posts about the off shoulder trend. But a lot of people are not comfortable with this ongoing trend.

If you aren’t a fan of the cold shoulder but still want to show some skin and rock the summery look then I suggest you invest in a spaghetti style top this summer. I paired a yellow hankie hem camisole top with straight crop jeans. The straight crop jeans give structure to the outfit. The tasseled string tie on the top and side make the top look very chic and feminine. The I love the material of this bright yellow top.

The I love the material of this bright yellow top, it’s light and flowy which makes it great for summer. The flare under the bust makes the top look very flirty and cute. I am wearing strappy black heels which is comfortable and trendy as well. Completing this look are some of my matching accessories. Truly, accessories are like vitamins to your fashion statement and can help you make your look better. I would suggest that while buying something, always double think about the accessories.

Outfit Details:

This top is very versatile and a must have in your holiday wardrobe. Going on a beach vacay? Then pair this top with ripped denim shorts and flip flops. You can even throw on a jacket or a scarf for the chilly evenings. Sudden plans? Want to go out for a romantic date, don’t worry, This casual yet chic style is perfect for a day out or even a romantic date.

Dip Hem Blouse Trend – OOTD

There is something sophisticated and stylish about monochromatic outfits. Monochromatic outfits offer every woman an elegant and classy look. The consistency of monochromatic dresses makes them more classy. It’s an evergreen trend which looks good on everyone. And the best part about them is that there are no season or occasional constraints.


Going monochrome is an easy and effortless way to dress up with minimal effort. When it comes to pulling off the monochromatic look don’t just restrict yourself to neutral shades. You can even sport bright colours and add lighter or darker shades in your outfit for some style.

A lot of times people think monochromatic outfits are boring . Have you ever tried rejuvenating your outfits or ever played with some of the most unexpected pieces of cloth? I bet you can easily spice up your outfit by going for a piece with some statement elements.

I have styled a monochromatic top with hem detailing. The high low style of the top is a great way to add some drama to the outfit. Asymmetrical hem lines are in this season. You can incorporate this style in your wardrobe with dresses, skirts and even tops. I sported the black white zipper back dip hem blouse with a pair of jeans and black strappy heels. The flare of the outfit makes it a very trendy piece which is perfect for the summer. This statement top can also be paired with shorts and sandals for a more casual look.

The important thing with the high low trend is to pair the outfit well. I like to add one statement element to the outfit and keep the rest of the outfit simple.

You can wear this outfit for a shopping day, lunch, event, or a movie.  This is a casual but comfortable style which looks good on everyone. You can even pair the top with other pieces in your wardrobe for different looks. Just remember to keep it simple.

How do you find my monochrome print detail top? Like this combination of stripped combo with twist? Still any confusion on how to wear monochromatic dress eliminating the dullness factor? Share your queries and reviews in the comments section below.

To all those who believe that one-colour outfits can be boring. Have you ever tried rejuvenating your outfits? Have you ever played with some of the most unexpected pieces of cloth? Black is such a happy colour, darling. You just need to play a little with it in order to increase it’s level of shine.

Just remember, Monochrome is not about sticking to one colour only. You can rejuvenate your outfits in your own style to make them comfortable and cool for yourself.

Taking Office Wear into Off Duty Style

When it comes to style, I’m a big believer in fluidity: transitioning daytime makeup into night-time glam, styling up a casual t-shirt with a sequin jacket for a night out on the town, repurposing beachwear in the city with some carefully selected accessories – you get the idea. And while we’ve all spent a lot of time thinking about how to dress up certain casual items in our wardrobes, I’m sure most of us have not thought quite as much about how we might dress down our work wear to make it more fun and fashionable for the weekend. But it’s time to start thinking about it, pronto, because it will open up a new world of possibilities in your wardrobe. Trust me.

The most important thing to remember is that this style is all about balance. To make your work wear more stylish and less serious, you need to balance it out with elements that are carefree, casual and even bohemian.

That’s what I kept in mind as I started to style this cute rabbit print shirt. In order to brighten up the look and take it from corporate to colourful, I decided to pair the shirt with a pair of cobalt blue cropped pants. Not only did these pants match the print while brightening up the look; the cropped style took the fuss out of wearing a shirt, instantly giving the look a carefree vibe. Next, I threw on a bohemian coin necklace over the shirt, to add some more fun to the ensemble. This simple addition took my entire outfit far, far away from the office space and into a more relaxed, weekend-ready zone.

The final additions were a pair of sunglasses (I never leave the house without them!) and a pair of strappy heels – but you could just as easily pair this with white sneakers if you wanted a super casual outfit. And with that, I was ready to rock my corporate shirt out and about over the weekend, in a look that was carefree and chic, yet put-together.

If you keep the idea of balance in mind, you can pretty much take any piece of office wear you own, and style it for an after-hours or weekend look. If you wanted to style your regular black trousers, you could easily dress them down by pairing them with a simple white t-shirt and sneakers, or a tank top, leather jacket and boots for a more edgy outfit. You can dress down corporate work dresses by throwing on more bohemian jewellery, switching up your hairstyle (for example, from a chignon to a messy bun) or even throwing on a cooler jacket (leather, denim, bomber…the possibilities are endless!)

The trick is to open your mind to experimenting, to mixing and matching, and to understanding that clothing items don’t have to be worn in only one way – you can wear them however you please! By starting to reuse your formal clothes over the weekend, you will not only get more wear out of them but also expand your off-duty wardrobe greatly. And as every fashion lover knows, it doesn’t get better than that.

Playful Casual Summer Day Outfit  

Spring summer trend this season is all about relaxed, breezy and bohemian styles. One such trend which I have loved this season is the cold shoulder trend. Cold shoulder trend has been popular for some time and has become every fashionista’s favorite. The cold shoulder trend is very versatile and looks amazing on everyone. You can even pair a cold shoulder top with other statement sleeve styles like bell sleeves or ruffles.  But mixing different trends can get a little tricky as you don’t want to look like you are trying too hard and look like you just walked off a crazy runway.

If you have read my recent posts you would have seen that I have styled the cold shoulder trend in several ways for different occasions. My outfit today is a fun and upbeat look which is perfect for a day out with family or friends. I paired a black button up cold shoulder top with cropped denim. The cold shoulder top has a very casual style to it and the spaghetti strap is just perfect for the summer. The top also has a split back which makes the whole outfit more summery and bohemian. Blue and black is a classic combo and it’s something you can never go wrong with.

I wanted to amp up my outfit with some stylish accessories. I styled the outfit with brogues in silver and suede. Bold shoes are a great way to add some oomph to your outfit and make it stand out. The shoes are extremely versatile. Generally, brogues are worn with workwear but these bold brogues look good on multiple outfits. You can pair it with a dress or just a jeans and tee combo like I did. Sometimes I feel that the neck looks very bare when sporting the cold shoulder trend so I styled the top with a necktie choker. I finished my outfit look with oversized butterfly sunglasses because summer and sunglasses go hand in hand. I always love to add accessories to my outfit for a complete look.

This entire outfit is very versatile. You can wear this for a lunch, movie date, day in the park or just shopping. You can even pair the top with shorts for a casual day on the beach or a brunch. If you aren’t comfortable with baring your shoulders then you can even pair the top with a jacket or a scarf. This is why one should invest in a few key but fashionable pieces. Nowadays, you even find such incredible trends for women outfits on online shopping websites, which is a boon for busy ladies.

Cold Shoulder & Ruffles Trend

There is something about cold shoulder that has us hooked on the trend. A cold shoulder dress or top is essentially flaunting bare shoulders. There is something elegant and stylish about the cold shoulder. It is summers and you need to add this could shoulder outfit in your wardrobe. A cold shoulder trend is not just for the summer but a great outfit even in slightly chilling evenings.

So, if you want to add some style to your wardrobe then read on to check out how I’ve styled this trend for the chilly evenings. I paired a casual grey cold shoulder maxi dress with tussled hair and metallic shoes. It is a loose A-line Maxi dress with loose fit and long sleeves which make it perfect for evenings. One of my favourite things about this outfit is the ruffles in the shoulder.

Apart from cold shoulder trend, the statement shoulder is getting popular as well. This dress has captured both the trends in one simple outfit. The ruffles in the shoulder and at the bottom of the dress give the whole outfit a romantic and flirty look. The whole look is focused on casual dressing for the weather.

One thing that you must remember when sporting this trend is to focus on keeping the whole outfit simple. I would prefer neutral shades and solid or lightly printed fabrics for this. You don’t want to look like you are trying too hard. Keep a relaxed look and add some oomph to your outfit with fun bag or shoes. I finished the whole look with a light pink lipstick and eyeliner.

You can even add the cold shoulder trend in your work wardrobe by pairing a silk cold shoulder blouse with flared trousers and boots. You can also pair this trend with a pair of ripped denim.

Evening Party Look Post

Want to add a twist to your wardrobe? Try a dress with an asymmetrical hemline. The asymmetrical dress has become a trendy style this season. It flatters your legs plus looks good on every body type. Pick an asymmetrical dress with a classic touch this season for a style statement. You can opt for the evergreen black dress or fun prints and patterns for a vibrant look. Whatever be your style this trend is one the most stylish and sophisticated look you can go for this summer.

I sported this style at a recent event by Thomas Sabo. Thomas Sabo just launched the latest Charm Club Collection at a Bullring, Birmingham.


The event was hosted by Style Birmingham magazine and Thomas Sabo. It was a glamorous night filled with some great retail therapy and complimentary fizz and goody bags. I was the stylist for the event. It was great fun helping guests create personalised charm bracelets. For the event, I sported the Palm Jacquard Dress.

The dress has a vibrant palm print which standouts in the crowd. It is a perfect piece this season which is tailored to show off your silhouette. The v-neck and asymmetrical hemline gives a very flattering look to the dress. It is a truly special piece.

It’s fun to wear such vibrant pieces for an event and stand out in a crowd of little black dresses. It is a perfect dress to make a statement when you are in the room and the dress also has great flair.

I styled the dress with buckled ankle strap heels in metallic silver. When wearing a dress with an asymmetrical hemline you should pay close attention to your accessories and shoes. Opt for simple a look with your shoes and accessories.

Flashy and vibrant shoes will steal the limelight from your dress. I paired the dress with a small clutch matching my shoes and kept the rest of look simple to draw attention to the outfit. I completed my look with a delicate and personalised bracelet and jewellery from Thomas Sabo.

Classic Cocktail Look and Outfit Inspiration

Plazzo pants or trouser pants a 70’s style statement have been doing the rounds of the Indian & Pakistani fashion scene this spring summer. Palazzo pants are wide legged pants something like bell bottoms which can be paired with different key pieces in your wardrobe. They are great for summer as they are generally made from light fabric.

Designers have been pairing palazzos with kurtas, crop tops, long jackets and more for a contemporary look. From silk bottom to embroidered palazzos they are there everywhere. If you are planning to attend a cocktail event for an Indian function then why not mix it up a little by going for a modern take on the ethnic wear and go for embroidered bottoms with a short kurti.

This outfit is designed by Anaya Textile. The brand is known for their great collection of fabrics which are traditional with a contemporary twist for today’s modern women. They cater to all ranges when it comes to lehengas, bottoms or kurtas, and are known for their customised creations where one can design their own outfit right from the embroidery to the colour palettes.

A cocktail event is a formal event so I wanted to for something on the modern side. I personally feel on such an occasion it is important to make a statement without breaking the bank, and while dress would get too simple and a lehenga or sharara would get too jazzy. Thus I suggest you mix it up a bit with embroidered pants a short kurta.

I kept my jewellery light and stuck to a few key pieces like a long necklace to balance the outfit on top and let the bottoms be the hero of the outfit. Since it was a traditional event I have taken a light dupatta but this outfit looks great even without it as you can see in some pictures.

If it’s a formal event but not on the traditional side then you can even pair the bottoms with a plain silk blouse or a crop top. Since the bottoms are beautifully embroidered try to keep the rest of your look and outfit simple. I have gone for an elegant look with my makeup and hair tied in a low bun, as I wanted a very casual updo and wanted the focus on the embroidery in the bottoms.

You can even create different looks with these bottoms you can pair it with a contrasting blouse and a dupatta or pair it with a knee length kurta. Since the colours on the bottom are neutral you can go for colour blocking with shades of pink, orange, salmon or stay in the safe zone with colours like off-white, gold and blue.

If you are going for palazzo pants with minimal work on the bottom then you can pair it with a heavy top or a dupatta. If it is a formal cocktail event in the evening then opt for something modern like an embroidered gown. If it’s more on the traditional side for a wedding then go for an Indian outfit like an embroidered palazzo and kurta or anarkali.

Your Must Have Holiday Outfit

Shorts are a staple when it comes to summer. Whether your style is casual or glamorous shorts are meant for everyone. When it comes to pairing shorts with other pieces in your wardrobe, you can go for a basic tee, crop top, silk blouse, a spaghetti top with sequins, short blouse and the list goes on.


But there are some classic combinations that you can never go wrong with. I am talking about one of my all time favourite combos, the denim shorts and a white shirt. It’s a cool, casual and classy outfit. A must have in your wardrobe. It’s a versatile combination which you can sport any time of the year, any season.


There are so many ways you can team up this outfit. For a laidback look pair distressed short and a baggy shirt with rolled up sleeves, bunched up bracelets and a tote bag with flip flops or slip on shoes. For a chic look, pair a crew neck blouse with acid washed shorts and designer sneakers. You can even play around with your accessories to create different looks. Pair a sleeveless shirt and denim shorts with your sarong or a lightweight printed long jacket for a bohemian beach look. There are millions of ways to style this classic combo.

What’s more, it helps you pack light and keep your travel luggage weight in check, when you are just dashing away for a quick getaway.


Since this is a holiday essential, I packed a pair of my favourite shorts and a white blouse for my trip this summer. A white blouse is less formal than a shirt. It’s breezier and lightweight which makes it a comfortable option for the summers. I love the thread work on this white shirt and pairing it with my dark blue washed denim shorts made it look so cool and yet casual at the same time.

I have paired the combo with grey sneakers. When travelling, I prefer wearing shoes and flats as I enjoy walking and exploring a new city. I kept my look very basic and casual and went for minimal accessories, backpack and low bun to style my outfit. This is more of comfortable clothing or look I prefer when travelling. If I want to dress up, I can always add a boho necklace to this outfit and style my hair in beachy waves with some hair accessories and a statement bag.

Off Shoulder Trend and Tassel Love – Outfit Look

From tops to jumpsuits the off-shoulder trend is everywhere and clearly here to stay. So if you haven’t already invested in a few off-shoulder pieces then catch on because this style doesn’t seem to going out of fashion anytime soon. Since the time we first saw it on the runway, the basic off-shoulder top has gone from the regular solid to stripes, cold shoulder to cut out, and asymmetrical to embellish. It’s not stopping there because the off-shoulder trend seems to be getting more stylish by the day.

Off-shoulder tops are perfect for summer and look good on everyone. They are preppy, boho and fun. You can wear a striped off-shoulder coordinated set on a holiday or a warm summer day or pair an embroidered off-shoulder blouse with striped pants for work. For a casual Sunday or a day on the

For a casual Sunday or a day on the beach, you can sport a printed off-shoulder dress with a hat and flip flops or a lacy off-shoulder blouse and ripped short. The choices are endless with this versatile trend. It’s so easy and effortless to pair trend with different outfits in your wardrobe. No wonder this bohemian style is one of the hottest this season. You can even play with accessories when sporting the off-shoulder trend. You can keep it simple and elegant with a statement necklace or edgy with a lacy choker.

I recently got an Off-shoulder top with colourful tassel detailing. The colourful tassels add a bit of flirty and fun flare to the entire outfit and paired the top with a pair of ripped cropped denim. The best part of the off-shoulder trend is the unique neckline. You can keep the outfit simple by just baring your neck and shoulder as is for a sleek and elegant look or add a necklace for a stylish look. But remember one thing, when wearing an off-shoulder top, Keep the neckline of the top or dress clean and don’t go for accessories which go beyond the neckline.

You can also pair the outfit with bold statement earrings if you aren’t a fan of neck pieces. Trendy sunglasses and a hat are also a good addition to the outfit if you are wearing it on a sunny day. I paired my off-shoulder top with a short but chunky silver necklace, bracelets and a colorful bag which matches the tassel detailing. I love to flaunt my neckline when sporting this top because the detailing is so lovely, so I went for a side swept braid. Also when stepping out in the sun I make sure I always have my shades on. I believe shades are essential to a summer wardrobe. So there you go; my stylish yet casual off-shoulder trend. You can also style this top with shorts, culottes or a trouser based on the occasion.

Spring Style Alert- Boho Jacket

Spring is here, and it means that it is now the time to replace those oversized jackets, body warmers and layers with light, colourful and fun jackets which keep you warm in this weather.

This season is all about having fun and getting ready for the sun-kissed summer. It’s more than just sporting colourful outfits, skirts and floral patterns. This season is all about having fun and experimenting and enjoying just as nature is enjoying and blooming after the winters.
You can go for so many trends from bohemian to sporty chic. For me, spring is one of the fav. Seasons and experimenting with colours. Last weekend, on a day out I opted for a blue fringe trim tribal jacket with embroidered tape from Shein.com. I have styled this jacket with a dark t-shirt, chunky boho necklace and distressed crop jeans.

The weather in the UK is still slightly cold, for the next month or so. The best part about this outfit is that it’s perfect for a chilly or breezy evening in the city. It’s a light jacket which is very handy as it keeps you warm and wrapped up fashionable in the evenings. It instantly transforms the regular t-shirt and jeans combo to something you would spot in the street style section of a magazine. The jacket is colourful and fun with all the details and prints, and it’s a beautiful way to welcome the spring and bring out that boho chic style of yours. It’s a perfect outfit for a walk in the park or even on vacation or just shopping out with family. If styled well it can even be a showstopper in a casual airport look.

There are so many effortless ways of styling this jacket. One thing to remember with these statement jackets is that let the jacket be the focal point of the outfit. Don’t mix too many prints, colours or textures when wearing such quirky or colourful jackets.

You can team this jacket with a plain white maxi with colourful beads or with shorts and a blouse if you are stepping out for brunch with your friends to a café. You can also play around with the accessories; team up a floral headband with your outfit for a boho look or wear a short dress and mid-length gladiator sandals with the jacket for a casual look.

Go all white with your outfit by teaming this jacket with white jeans and a top with ear cuffs to make the jacket stand out. You can mix and match different accessories and outfits to create new looks with this jacket. The possibilities are endless which is why investing in a statement jacket is a must.

Romance is in the air – Valentine’s Day Fun and Jacket Styling Tips

Whether in Love or out of Love, most of us have a love or hate relationship with Valentine’s Day. The true notion for those few days in run up to Valentine’s day is literally “Romance is in the air” with the window displays, the malls and all the markets being over the top decorated with Romantic gifts or symbols that represent Romance.

For me this day is special too and I treat this day as an opportunity to thank God for all the “Love” he has blessed me with in this life and here is a post to share my own created outfit for a wintery romantic date – to keep up with the spirits of Feb & coming season of Spring.

When it comes to winter fashion it always ends up being choosing between staying warm or fashionable. But you can stay fashionable and warm by playing with your winter wardrobe.


The main ingredient for a super chic look is a warm jacket. A jacket can make or break any outfit. Jackets are super comfortable and great for layering too. So if you are looking for some inspiration on how to mix it up with jackets or give your boring jackets a new life then look no further. Check out these winter styling outfits which are perfect and cute for the cold weather and would keep you winter ready.

Jackets and scarves are great for winter. You can create so many fun looks with them. Invest in a statement jacket to stand out this season. Ditch the neutrals for a vibrant red coat or a textured faux fur jacket. Mix and match different textures in your outfit by pairing an oversized scarf with a mid length faux fur jacket, knee length boots, jeans and a plain white tee for a day out with your friends or Friday wear at work.

 

Brighten up a gloomy day with a vibrant jacket. I have paired my Color Block Collarless Hidden Button Coat from Shein with a pair of jeans a casual light blue top and a burgundy sling bag. I kept my accessories to a bare minimum as I wanted the jacket to be the hero of the outfit.  Hats can also enhance your look plus it keeps you warm and is your best friend if you are having a bad hair day.

Jackets are also great for office wear. On your day off go for a casual denim on denim look by pairing your favourite denim jacket with a cosy white tee, ripped denim and slip on shoes.

Bold and Beautiful – Runway Makeup Inspiration

“Creativity is your best makeup skill, don’t be afraid to experiment”, words of the most influential makeup artist Pat McGrath are words every makeup artist must live by.

Known for her creativity, army of assistants and experimental bold looks, she is someone who has been creating the most iconic over the past decades.  She is someone who has given the makeup world most ingenious makeup tricks like adding a white curve to the cupid’s bow to make your lips look fuller, applying lip liner before a lipstick and blotting lips with a tissue and dusting translucent powder for long lasting wear and more.

Inspired by the looks she has created over the years I collaborated with some experienced talents in London like Aarti Kumar, Arthy Really, Desiree By Natasha, Sejal Anujah Shah and Aarsim Official to create some experimental looks that are going to be trending this season.

I wanted to get bold this New Year with my look and get out of my comfort zone. You know the whole New Year New Me kind of a feeling. So I decided so get bold with my makeup with some products from Pat Mcgrath Labs. I was really happy with the bold and beautiful look created by Aarti Kumar. Aarti is a vibrant and talented makeup artist based in London who loves to play around and create unique looks for her clients. She specialises in Bridal makeup and enjoys experimenting with new products and techniques. The first look she created focused on the glitter red lips. I was looking for a playful red tint to match my embellished skirt and crop top. For the second outfit, I wanted a fierce and feisty look, hence, the golden eye shadow and the funky lines on the eyes. The makeup made me look like a lioness and the sleek high ponytail made the whole look more intense.

The makeup did justice to the elegant handcrafted outfits by Sejal Anujah Shah. This clothing brand brings the best of both the worlds with its contemporary designs. The sleeveless white crop top adds structure to the high waisted skirt with intricate zardozi work. It is an outfit which can be worn for a sangeet or a fancy work event, party, or any other celebration. The skirt and the top can easily be matched with other outfits in your closet to create everyday styles.

Cold shoulders are really in this season. The second outfit is a twist from the regular off-shoulder or cold shoulder trend. The asymmetrical one-shoulder top is a great addition to the party wardrobe. I paired the top with skinny black pants and black shoes. I let my top and the makeup be the hero of the entire look. You can even layer up the top with a funky jacket for evenings.

No outfit is complete without the right kind of accessories. My accessories were styled by DesireebyNatasha. The brand is known for its exquisite collection of jewellery and watches made from semi-precious stones and pearls. They are elegant, modern and make any outfit pop instantly. They are also a great gifting option for someone who loves to accessorise.

I love statement bags which are fun, like the one I have incorporated in my look. The bags by Aarsim is just perfect for me since I have decided that this year I am going to focus on being happy and content with my life.

But a picture is only as good as its model….Hahaha, just kidding.. a picture is only as good as the photographer, and I love the picture play that’s been created with my look.

Thanks to my lovely photographer Arthy Really. From travel to editorial photo shoots, Arthy has the talent to capture the essence of the subject strikingly in her images.


I had a great time collaborating with some young and vibrant talent in the city to create my experimental bold looks. Let me know in the comments below if you enjoyed this fun outfit and challenge yourself to go bold and beautiful this year!

Style Advice – Let’s Experiment, Let’s be Bold

I am someone who is addicted to black. It’s a colour that I end up picking out all the time. I feel comfortable, confident and chic in black. But over the past few days, I was just going through my wardrobe and realised that I have a lot of black in my wardrobe. Black has a lot of benefits, it makes you look slimmer, and it’s versatile, matches well with other colours, it perfect for any time of the day, you can jazz up the colour easily and more. But however flattering the colour maybe for many people, I believe it’s important to have some colour in your wardrobe and break the monotone of black from our life.


I am not banning you all from black. But there is something such as too much of a good thing. Many times people also term as black as boring or dull, especially when you wear it all the time. Adding colour to your wardrobe can get tricky at times. It is important to know which colour can work for your skin and then play with tones and create lots of new outfits. Colour is one of the elements which can instantly style up your look. But when picking out a colour its best to understand your skin tone to see what suits you the best.

If you have a warm skin tone i.e. you have greenish, yellowish or light brown skin then you should go for warm colours like olive, coral, honey, and beige. If you have a cool skin tone i.e. you have pink, blue or rosy skin then you should go for cool colours like lavender, grey, blue or rose. If you have a neutral skin with pale or grey shades, then you should wear colours like jade, red, white and medium blue. But there are some colours which look great on every skin tone. These include colours like teal, blush pink, dark purple, marsala and pure white.

When incorporating colour in your outfit, it is important to balance it out.

Here,  I wanted my dress to be a statement piece, so I made sure the rest of my outfit was muted. I paired the wine hued dress with strappy black heels and a black bag. I also matched my lipstick to my outfit, rather than opting for a bright colour and keep the rest of my makeup simple with beachy waves.

I believe it’s important for us to experiment more with colours in our wardrobe, especially in corporate world. Sometimes, our work wardrobe is filled with boring neutrals like black, brown or navy blue. When working with people I’ve mostly seen that they have a monotone of one colour or lots of outfits in the same colour. But when we wear bright colours people remember us more than when we were the regular black. Incorporate some colour in your work wear by wearing a brightly coloured jacket with your formal black dress; offset your staple outfit by making the accessories the star by wearing bright-hued heels or a bag, step out in bright bottoms. Colour blocking is a new trend, use this technique by using black and shades of blue.

  • Accessory: Marks & Spencer

Your black’s have a special place in your wardrobe but don’t be afraid to experiment with a little colour.

Let’s get bold.

New Year Outfit Inspiration

New Year is all about a new beginning, moving forward, resolutions, dreams and hopes. But New Year also means party, time to celebrate the present and enjoy. I love the holiday season and love to end the year with a bang. I have always been enthusiastic about New Years Eve. Even as a kid, I loved to go to parties or gatherings. So every year I would look forward to my New Year plan with much excitement, I guess it was the shopping that got me most pumped up about the whole day. I would start looking for my outfit almost a month in advance.


Since New Year is something big for me, so is my dressing for the event. It’s such a glamorous event that I need my outfit to show my excitement. So for me sequins, sparkle or glitter in some form is a must. Also, it is apt for New Year since the parties are at night and everyone is dressed to impress.  I prefer wearing bright colours over a usual black dress. You instantly stand out in the crowd with a little pop of colour.

So I guess by now you guys must have realised how excited I get about New Years. But I get even happier when I find the perfect outfit for this day. For years I have worn a dress more a less, so this year I wanted to wear something totally different and break the monotony. After hunting for an outfit for over 10-15 days I choose a lovely sequined top and a high-low skirt from Coast. It’s been a task for me to find this outfit since I’m a very selective person.

It’s a short capped sleeve sequined top in tones of blue and purple which teams up perfectly with the glamorous high-low skirt. Usually, if you purchase a fancy dress for New Year, then you don’t really get enough occasions to wear it again. But this outfit is extremely versatile. The top can be paired with jeans and even with lehenga or saree. I might do a fun post on this later. Just keep an eye out for this 🙂 and the skirt is so pretty that it will make a great addition to my cocktail wardrobe. I am pairing up the pieces with a silver clutch and silver high heels.

But if you are someone who doesn’t like to wear a sequined outfit then you can have some sparkle in your accessories like a clutch or hat. You can also pair a sequined mini skirt with a solid coloured blouse. Sequins can get tricky. To avoid looking like a shiny disco ball make sure that you don’t wear sequins from top to bottom. Let one item in your outfit be the hero.

I’m all set with my New Year outfit, so stay around to get a glimpse of my look and find out where and how I spent my new years eve…it’s a little hush hush for now.
