Celebrate PINK this October

This month is just not about celebrating the Gods, Goddesses and the souls(Halloween) but also us women! No I ain't kidding! October is the breast cancer awareness month. So you can wear pink any day you want, or everyday too!! :D
We have all heard about the "Wear pink to Work" campaign, right? Well, its basically just to encourage more women to be aware of breast cancer. The concept is simple - wearing pink helps spread more awareness as detecting the disease early is the best way to prevent it. In India, this year its being celebrated on the 18th of october. This post is to give you an offbeat idea on how to root for a cause and stay stylishly pink-y at work!

A cotton printed trouser paired with a solid coloured flowy top can never go wrong on any body shape or size! Prints and bright colours are both a good bet this fall, so get innovative and crazy!

Wear pink, keep it stylish!

Dancing in the rain

Ok! So Mumbai has been acting pretty weird lately, isn't it? Pouring cats and dogs anytime of the day in the month of October! 

Though I love the rains, what I hate is the humidity and stickiness after it. Mumbai's weather reminds me of those in coastal areas now. Oh! the mention of coastal areas just reminded me of Goa. 

I was there the previous week, took a bike ride along the western coast, had a lot of fun and yes, came back with a lot of tan!!! :D. Goa was in its most beautiful-lest state during this post monsoon season! Not very crowded, occasional light showers, lots of greenery and peacocks! Yes, we managed to spot a few peacocks there.

Now Goa is not just about the sun, sand and pinacoladas but also street side shopping. Though I did not get much time to hop about the streets, I did pick a few things. One of them is this peacock print leggings.

Crop your way up

Being a fashion blogger for the last several months, all I have done is talk about having an individual style. But what I have always missed out on is the writing style. Yes, a fashion "blogger" also has her own style of writing. Everyone knows it, but nobody acknowledges it (by everyone, I mean their own selves too!). And its just not in the case of bloggers but everyone. Writing is another basic criteria defining your individuality and nobody can take that away from you. Having said that, "let no one take that way from you"! There is no such thing as a bad writer or a good writer. If you can put across the message you want to send to your audience, well, you have done your work! Its just lately that I realized that my readers are not just mere followers of my style but also the way I communicate with them. Its your words that make you a survivor in platforms like this, don't you agree?

They say "Its better late than never!" And I think they are true :D

Yes, Lakme Fashion Week was the buzzword all through last week. New labels, new designers, reviews, interviews, wishlists - that was what filled my Facebook News Feed. Now, it seems to have come a notch lower. The Lakme Fashion Week fever is nearly dying but here I am, late as usual. No, I am not reviewing any of the shows, neither am I telling out my wishlist, though I have my own personal favourites. I am too self-obsessed as you might know by now so its again going to be just my pictures :D.

I attended the LFW on the last day of the event, as a blogger on behalf of my college. It was a hot day so I chose to go simple. I wore a coral dress with cream colored frilly sandals and an off white sling. Gold, being the color of the season, I incorporated some of it in my outfit. A thin gold belt and mesh gold neck piece layered under my peter-pan collar dress, and I was good to go!

The Leopard Attacks

Hello!

Finally I'm in my 2nd year of college! When I think back on my initial days in my then new college, Whistling Woods International, my first thought is ofcourse of the orientation session! There was a lot of introduction, fun, rules, games, film screenings and some wild facts about our college!! ;) I'll get straight to the wild fact ofcourse.

We have classes in the middle of the jungle!! hahahaha! Ok not really but kind of. My college is surrounded by the vastness of the hills and jungles and occasional wild animals! Yes you read it right. We have special guests in the form of wild snakes, lizards, spectacular birds, lots of eagles and LEOPARDS! I had a similar kind of excitement and goosebumps just like you, when I heard this on my first day of college. Story goes that once, all the staff and students had to spend the night in the campus due to hungry leopards loitering around the premises.

You must have guessed by now what my look has been inspired by.

Ok! So this was just a fun capture but I love the expression! So wild, isn't it? ;)

No, its not just for the sake of my excitement of someday sensing an uncaged leopard somewhere near me but the fact that we are leaving them homeless! Its population is declining due to habitat loss and hunting for trade and pest control. No wonder there are news of leopards attacks every other day. And hence, this is our own small step to spread the word - Rescue the Big Cats.

Color Blast

Hello!
Long time no see, isn't it? Well, blame it all on the monsoon. :(

I thought it would be perfect to go visit my folks during this one month break  from college and so I rushed home (yeah!!). Well, I was super excited of course, not just because I was going *HOME* but also because I could finally play dress up! :D

Though I am not really a big fan of loud colors (on me, as I come out as too garish :P), I reeeeeaalllyy wanted some brightness around! So I decided to try the *Prints-on-Prints* trend. I was really doubtful about the look, but then it was just-so-comfortable, I just had to go with it!

Now, before I go about how I styled my prints-on-prints look, here are some DO's and DONT's of this trend.

• There are really no hard and fast rules as to how to wear this look, but the safest way to do it is to keep things clean with a uniform print from head-to-toe!
• If you want to be more experimental, go ahead and wear prints head-to-toe and they don't have to match! Just keep in mind the accessories though! Refrain from using very loud statement accessories. You already have too much on and you wouldn't want to look like a bandwagon!!
• One of the *don'ts* of this trend is to wear ill-fitted outfits. Being a statement in itself, if the fit is not snug, it will only make you look ugly (or even scary!) and nobody ever wants that. In short, try to keep the fit as snug as possible ;) !
• Pulled back hair and nude make-up is the best way to show off your statement prints but you can choose otherwise (like I did :D) 

I paired my crazy print leggings with a floral vest. The leggings are a cheap find from a thrift store in Bandra. The color contrast is a complete stunner! 

The black floral vest is from atmosphere. I accessorized the look with spiked necklace from RaastaChaap (buy here) and my black studded sling. As I was travelling, I put on my most comfortable black brogues.

I am on the heavier side so I chose to throw on a sheer blue shirt/top to cover my behind. Not only does it cover my back, but it also gives an illusion of a thinner me ;) 

Now, does this post give you a reason enough to make colors your wardrobe's best friend this season?

Love and Luck

The Spanish in Me

Hello!

Lately I have been taking a lot of inspiration from everything around me. The previous look was inspired by the *fresh green nature*. This time though, it’s a tad bit different.

Spain is known for its history, monuments, culture, tourism, tomatina festival, bull fights, food, football and Senorita! I have always admired Spain.
Since I haven't yet got a chance to visit the magical country physically, I decided to live a tiny bit of it in my own country itself. So, what did I do?

See the pictures and guess for yourself!

 Tomato based cold soup 

Served with a "puchka" on top, the presentation inspired my golden lined lips filled with mandarin red.

Traditional Spanish Rice dish cooked with Seafood.

The fresh mix of colours on the plate inspired the floral printed dress I'm wearing.

Fillet of Beef

the texture, the brown sauce and the green tender bamboo shoots are the perfect inspiration for meaty looking legs!

The good people at Fashion Most Wanted invited me to this heavenly place for a Spanish food tasting session.

All drooling now, aren’t you? So, the next time u want to give your taste buds a surprise treat, head to POCO LOCO, Mumbai for some authentic Spanish Cuisine! The restaurant being small and cozy, it does give you a warm and homely feeling with everything happening right in front of your eyes. If needed, the chef himself comes down to your table to help you decide what to order.

My favourite - The gazpacho soup and paella. And yes! The sangrias. They are simply delicious!
