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. 

Asymmetrical shirt - Arrow

Peacock Print leggings - Thrift

Bracelet - Add ons

Clutch - Lavie

Neckpiece - Raastachaap (Buy Here)

Finger ring - Raastachaap (Buy Here)

Footwear - Hill Road, Bandra

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

Kindly Corporate!

Hello!
I look at and think of a corporate as "stressed, depressed, but always well-dressed"! 
What I tried today is a corporate look. Now that its a Monday, and that I'm interning, what else could fit the mood more?

The fact that in monsoon, the roads, trees and the nature looks its freshest best was an inspiration in itself for me to do this "fresh green" post. Now scroll down and look at the pictures before I bore you with my explanation of why, how, where I wore this! You really don't want me to get started, do you? ;)

The high-low fashion is, needless to say, the talk of street-style world. And, the breezy top keeps me fresh in this humid Mumbai monsoon.

These pretty frilly hem keeps the feminine touch intact, without making me look like one deadline-bound corporate woman.

Its the bag and shoes which adds a pop of color to my otherwise dull colored outfit.

Top - Thrifted

Skirt - tailormade

Shoes - Hill Road

Bag - Esbeda

Eyes - Maybelline (Jade)

How do you define a corporate?
