Holiday Lookbook – Your Holiday Outfit Guide

If you have been following my blog then you must have noticed this summer has been all about beaches for me. I love a beach destination for the summers. It’s a great way to relax, rejuvenate and get some tan during your summer break. From all my travels this summer I have come up with a list of outfits which are perfect for a beach vacation. So read on and slay the beach look with these must-have outfits:

Tunic: Summer wear is what comes to mind when I think of tunics. They are one of the most comfortable outfits for summer. What makes tunics a go-to outfit for me is that it is so versatile and flatters every body type. You can style it as a dress, as a short kurti over palazzo pants or shorts and even with trousers for work wear. You can even wear it as a beach cover up and get some tan while reading a romantic novel by the ocean.

Off-Shoulder Outfit: Off-shoulder tops are popular on the runway as well as on the streets. Off-shoulder tops are flirty, feminine and look great with shorts as well as a midi skirt. You can pair it with statement accessories to jazz it up for a dinner date or wear it with ripped shorts for a day on the beach. Go for a lacy top with intricate designs to keep it feminine and fun. For a chic look team a flowy top with high-waist shorts, slip on shoes and fun accessories.

Staple White Top: White is a great color for summer. I like carrying a few short tops or kurtas with me on a beach vacation. You can go for a contemporary look by pairing a white chikan work top with a pair of denim or cotton pants when sight-seeing.

Cold Shoulder Top: Another popular trend this spring summer is the cold shoulder trend. If you aren’t comfortable baring your shoulders in an off-shoulder top then this is the trend for you. It’s quirky, fun and very chic. You can opt for a cold shoulder top with bell sleeves or ruffled sleeves to add more drama to your outfit. Don’t just restrict this trend to a top you can also wear a dress with cold shoulder sleeves for a beachy look.

Maxi Dress: I love wearing maxi dresses. This breezy style is one of the most versatile pieces in my wardrobe. I can wear it as a cover-up over a bikini or team it with an embellished belt for a night out. I prefer going for printed maxi dresses in vibrant shades.

Long Shirt or Shirt Dress: Is a fuss free outfit in your beach vacation wardrobe. You can wear a long shirt or a shirt dress for a day at the beach, a casual affair or even date. I prefer shirts in linen material as it helps the skin breathe and keeps me cool in the rising temperatures. You can pair a long shirt with a pair of skinny jeans or shorts and slip on sandals or wear it as it is with a belt for a fitted look.

Sleeveless Jackets: Cover ups are essential for a beach holiday. Since it would be too hot for jackets I suggest a sleeveless jacket in net or crochet material to slip on over your crop top or bikini top and shorts. You can also opt for long sleeveless jackets in chiffon in colorful floral prints as a beach cover up.

How to Style a Shirt Dress – Outfit Post

Shirt Dress is a great versatile outfit that you can wear in summer with leggings and boots, and in summers you can pair the same dress with a blazer or light cover up and statement shoes to form a completely new outfit or look.Wolf-and-Whistle-look-of-the-day
Today I am styling a lovely new dress from Wolf & Whistle SS16 collection.

Wolf & Whistle is a lovely brand from the UK that offers the perfect blend ofcreativity, utility and quality in every garment. Their pieces are effortlessly elegant and undoubtedly timeless – this gorgeous turquoise Bow Front Shirt.

Dress that I styled is a testament to this fact.Though the dress is made from a blend of polyester and elastane, it has a lovely, luxurious, satin-like feel and finish. It falls beautifully as well, accentuating the femininity of a woman’s body. When it comes to fashion, I am all about the fit, and this dress scores high in that department. As if that wasn’t enough, the colour is absolutely stunning – it is bright, energetic and full of depth. If you are trying to move away from black, white and grey, this is a great colour to start with.

I wore this lovely dress to work one day, and received many complements. I paired the dress with peep toe, block heel boots – my favourite kind of footwear to sport with knee length dresses. I find that they pull the entire look together in a sophisticated and polished manner, in a way that other footwear styles cannot replicate.

For some extra oomph, I like to sport this dress with a structured blazer. The brown one that features in the photographs is my current favourite. This dress is also one of my favourite pieces to wear for a daytime coffee date with my friends, but it can be worn after hours as well. It is sleek and chic, making it a great transition piece that you can easily wear from day to night with a few changes in styling.

If I were to sport this dress after sunset, I would pair it with some statement earrings, glamorous pencil heels and a classy clutch.

The best part about this dress is the bow, which is a strong statement in its own right, so you don’t need to throw on a bold necklace to enhance the look. In fact, that might be overkill, but I reckon that this dress would look lovely with a tattoo necklace. Though I have currently worn a illusion chain with black beads.

When it comes to styling your hair with this dress, you can go both ways – leaving it loose and down, or putting it into a bun for a more formal look. I am always on the hunt for versatile, classic pieces and this dress is the perfect example of a garment that fits the bill.

Finding the Perfect Summer Dress for You

dressesLadies, it’s summer dress time. We all have our favourite two or three summer dresses, that until recently have spent far too many months lurking at the backs of our wardrobes. Break them out, by all means, but just in case you’re looking to treat yourself with a new summer frock, then here’s our guide to the latest and greatest styles to get you inspired for summer.

Japanese

Japanese is so totally in right now. Whether it’s kimonos, Japanese-style flower print or traditional Japanese silhouettes, it’s all hot to trot. Embrace your inner Orient this season with something a little different.

Shirt

Shirt dresses are every girl’s dream. Easy to wear, easy to accessorise, and ultimately the very best of casual summer wear. They are well and truly back with a vengeance this season, so buy it, belt it and work it!

Tunic

Tunics are perfect for that effortless just-threw-it-on look. Whether you’re at the beach, by the pool, swanning around town or just pottering at home, tunics are every girls dream when it comes to looking effortlessly chic.

Shift
There’s absolutely no denying that shift dresses are downright fabulous. Alas, though, certain figures just don’t work with them. If you do have a straight up and down figure, though, then go for it. Shifts are classic and timeless, but have made a real statement and have a high street presence this season.

Denim
The 90s are back, and so is denim. Denim everything. Denim dresses do, of course, come in all shapes and sizes, so there’s absolutely no excuse not to add a statement denim dress to your wardrobe this year.
