Beat The Heat With Summer Shades From Titan Sunglasses

May 26, 2017

Sunglasses may be a seasonless essential, but now that summer has well and truly arrived, there’s even more reason to get a slick new pair of shades in your armoury. This year, the sunglass trend is all about quirky architectural and geometric shapes, tinted lenses, and contemporary designs and Titan Sunglasses (@titansunglasses.india) have incorporated all those trends in their Spring/Summer 2017 collection.

The new collection is inspired by exaggerated elements and features that give an elegant and sophisticated finesse to the overall look. Most of the sunglasses in the collection have polarized lenses and some of them have lenses with flash mirror as well. What I really like is that they have given a modern twist to classic and iconic silhouettes which make all the pieces very versatile. When I was asked to style the shades for a fashion post, I was quite excited. I picked out four pieces and created four looks based on their design and my individual style. Like I said earlier, the pieces are very versatile and they can be worn pretty much with everything but here’s what I’ve come up with.

The Traveller Look

I picked out this very cool pair of shades with the smoked polarized lenses and silver flash mirrors. I styled them with a black satin bomber jacket so this look is all about the shine!

Go Desi This Festive Season With Rangriti Kurtis

November 14, 2016

A Kurti is probably one of the most versatile garments in a women’s wardrobe. You can be a desi girl and wear it with salwar/patiala or palazzo or you can add an Indo – Western touch by pairing a Kurti with trousers, jeans, leggings or even a skirt. And if you want to be even more experimental with your look, you can also wear your Kurti with a sari, making it the blouse. A Kurti is also versatile in the sense that you can wear it on pretty much every occasion. I regularly wear Kurtis to office pairing them with formal trousers. When it comes to casual dressing and if I’m going out to catch a movie, meeting up friends over coffee or lunch, if I’m out shopping, most of the time I’ll just wear a cotton kurti with either a pair of jeans, linen pants or palazzos. If it is a festive occasion, a Kurti comes to the rescue as well. I just pick out a slightly formal one with either embroidery or embellishments, wear a patiala or salwar, add a dupatta, accessorise with matching jewelry and I’m all set!

One brand that I quite like when it comes to Indian Wear is Rangriti. They have a wide variety of both Kurtas and Kurtis along with various bottoms that you can pair them with. Rangriti is available on pretty much all e-commerce websites but you can also Buy Kurtis Online from their official online store. The price is very reasonable and you can get Kurtis for as low as Rs 300! They also have a wide range of sizes available so it does not matter if you are thin or curvy, there is a Rangriti Kurti for you.

For The Love Of Ethnic Wear – Featuring Soch

November 10, 2016

Hello my pretties! Like me, are you also suffering from the festive season hangover? Last month was so much fun for me. There was Durga Puja, Lakshmi Puja, Diwali and that meant a lot of parties, get togethers, family reunions, good food and obviously, new clothes. For the festive season, I only buy ethnic wear and this year, I got some clothes from the brand Soch that has just opened their new store at South City Mall.

Soch has a pretty extensive collection of stylish and elegant kurtis, suits, sarees, tunics and bottoms for all occasions. For myself, I wanted a few cotton kurtas that I can wear to semi-formal events and these are the three that I picked up. Yes, two of them are indigo (you now know my fav color!) and I paired the kurtas with silver jewelry. Let me know in the comments below which ones you liked 🙂

Hanging Out With Kazo At Forum Courtyard, Kolkata

September 29, 2016

KAZO has come in a bigger and better avatar at Forum Courtyard in Kolkata. To celebrate the launch of the new store and to showcase their Autumn/Winter ’16 collection, KAZO hosted a fun meet with styling, makeup sessions, sips and snacks. It was a fun afternoon chatting with fellow bloggers, getting my makeup done, going through the latest KAZO collection, picking out my favorite pieces, talking about my favorites on camera and of course enjoying the lovely drinks and snacks that were there at the store.

The A/W ’16 collection features three major categories – trendy, evening wear and limited range. There are florals, voluminous silhouettes, bold patterns and pop colors with a range of trendy handbags and accessories. I liked that the collection has something for everyone and for any occasion. For a day out or to a Sunday brunch, you can wear a maxi/shirt dress or tops with pants and for an evening affair, you can choose from a range of embellished garments. The KAZO Autumn/Winter ’16 collection is sophisticated, detailed, intricate and yet affordable. I have got my eyes on a few pieces (a tan faux suede jacket in particular) and definitely going back to complete my shopping. Thank you KAZO for having me over at the fun meet. Take a look at some of the pictures from the event.
