Autumn Fashion LookBook || Layering for Autumn || Clothes and Creativity

Autumn has descended upon us and I'm truly enjoying dressing up for the slightly colder weather. The slight nip in the air gives us the liberty to play with the spring summer pieces in our wardrobe and layer them with warmer items so as to create outfits that would not only look beautiful, but also keep us cozy.

So I came up with 3 different outfits which are perfect for this time of the year. I have mainly used clothes from my Spring-Summer wardrobe, but I have layered them in a way so that they are wearable in Autumn.

Watch the video and do let me know which outfit was your favourite. All the outfit details are in the description box of the video. :)

Denim Vest LookBook || 5 Different Outfits

I don't know why I didn't share this sooner on my blog, but they say better late than never- right? So today I'm going to profess my love for the "denim vest". Now don't get me wrong, I haven't always had a thing for denim vests, in fact to be honest, I only have one denim vest in my wardrobe and that's also a fairly recent addition- but boy do I love the versatility of this piece.

I bought my denim dress from here, and ever since I bought it, I have worn it once every week if not everyday. From teaming it up with maxi dresses to sporting it over a pair of jeans, this little piece of clothing has been worn multiple ways.

Have a look at this video to see how I wore my denim vest with five different outfits. Please let me know which outfit did you like the best. :)

How I Celebrated My Birthday: Outfit and Gifts

So I recently turned a year older, and I firmly believe that growing up doesn't have to mean you're growing old! :) Honestly, age is just a number, and the older (and wiser) I grow, the  more I realise the same! ;)

To give you guys a glimpse of my Birthday Celebrations, I filmed a short Birthday Vlog for you guys (you'll get a sneak peek of Birthday Outfit and Birthday Gifts)! Hope you guys like it.

And for those of you who are at work or are unable to play the video for some reason, here's a photo of my Birthday Outfit - it's a burgundy coloured high-low dress from Zara with beautiful but subtle embroidery on the neckline. I kept my outfit fairly simple, thanks to the hot and humid weather. I have shared all other outfit details in the video.

What I Wore in Istanbul || Fashion LookBook

Hola people!

Long time no post! Haha! I'm not even going to try to explain why I was away, but suffice to say that I'm back with a lot of fun, vibrant, bohemian outfits to keep you entertained for a week, if not more. :)

So if you follow my YouTube Channel, you would know that my Husband and I were in Turkey for 3 weeks, and loved every bit of our time there. We travelled extensively through the Turkish countryside, and explored as much as we could during the course of our stay. In case you guys want to checkout what all we indulged in (and we indulged in a lot of fun, exhilarating things- read 'hot air balloon ride' and 'paragliding from a mountain top'), please click here.

Now coming back to the topic of this post which is "What I Wore in Istanbul"- I wore a variety of different outfits, but almost every outfit had bohemian elements. Since we spent about a week in Istanbul, I did have the option of experimenting a lot with my clothing there, and needless to say, I enjoyed dressing up to the fullest everyday! :) I did try to document most of the outfits, but didn't really manage to capture all of them. I'm sure you'll get a glimpse of some of the outfits (not featured in this LookBook) in my Turkey Travel Diaries.

I love to read your comments so please let me know which outfit was your favourite.

Summer Skirts LookBook || Clothes and Creativity

Summers have announced their arrival and there's not much we can do to escape the heat, apart from planting ourselves in front of the AC or taking a nice little vacation. I'm in favour of the latter though! ;)

Jokes apart, what we can do to make the hot months more bearable is to dress appropriately- make sure that we are wearing easy, breezy clothes in light fabrics and bright colours! And talking about easy-breezy stuff, the one piece of clothing that pops in my mind is a summer skirt! Now I scored a ton of Summer Skirts right at the onset of summers, and honestly you won't believe the price I scored them for. Checkout this Summer Skirt Haul to know what I'm talking about.

Anyway, getting back to the topic, skirts are one of the best options when it comes to 'summer fashion'. They are easy to style and won't leave you sweating like a you know what... :P

So I styled my favourite summer skirts and compiled them into a Lookbook so that you guys might get some summer fashion inspiration. :)

Winter Fashion Lookbook || Clothes and Creativity

Although Delhi winters have been kind of erratic this time, it’s cold enough to be bundled up in a few warm layers, and for once, I am enjoying the process of getting dressed-up for this rather ‘warmish’ winter season.

However, by ‘warmish’ I do not mean warm, but for those of you who have stayed in Delhi or have experienced the infamous “Dilli ki Sardi” would know what I am talking about. And keeping in mind the current weather situation, I have 3 outfits that are perfect to be worn at this time.

For more details on each outfit, feel free to hit the play button.

It’d be great to know which outfit did you like the best. J

Fall OOTD: Denim Jacket, Tunic Top & Jeans

We’ve been having quite nice weather here in Delhi- what with the rather cool breeze even in the afternoons. So for a person like me it becomes imperative to layer my outfit this time of the year. And nothing works better as a layering piece than a denim shirt/jacket.

I for sure have been using mine tons. Like the time we headed to HKV for dinner and drinks. I just wanted to keep my outfit casual and weather appropriate- so I started by pairing my green tunic top with my dark blue skinny jeans. I added the denim shirt to keep me comfy. I feel like I shouldn’t even state the obvious when it comes to footwear- because I wore my silver ballet flats AGAIN!  And to keep the outfit casual but classic, I carried my gorgeous Louis Vuitton Speedy 30 handbag. I’ve noticed that recently I’ve been opting for simpler but classic pieces rather than trendy ones. Maybe it’s got something to do with growing up (not old…haha), but I’m loving this new casual-comfy vibe!

Outfit Details:

Tunic Top & Denim Shirt: Sarojini Nagar

Jeans: Forever 21

Shoes: Bata, Bangkok

Necklace: Accessorise

Handbag: Louis Vuitton Speedy 30

Casual Indian Outfit

Now I know it’s been more than a month since Rakhi, but still, I am going to share my Rakhi outfit on the blog today. J

Rakhi is one of those special occasions where most of us get dressed in our Indian wear. So on this Rakhi, while rummaging through my cupboard, I happened to re-discover this gorgeous pink (cotton) chikan kurta that I had picked up from Lucknow, but that did not really get a lot of love from me. Now I like wearing cotton clothes, mostly because they are so soft and breezy, and this kurta was perfect for the rather humid weather we had (in August)! Problem was, I did not have a suitable pair of bottoms for it. I mean sure I could have paired it up with trusted blue skinnies, but I did not want that look. So I did the best thing I could, I pulled out a pair of white cotton pants from my Mum’s closet, and voila, I was Rakhi-ready. J

I did wear big jhumkas and a nice bindi to accentuate the whole Indian vibe. J

Let me know how you liked this outfit.

Have a look at my RakhiOutfit from last year.

OOTD: Mad for Plaid

I know ‘Mad for Plaid’ is a rather over-played title in the world of ‘fashion blogging’, but hey, it works!

So now that the weather is a teeny bit nippy (here in Delhi), it’s time to bring out all the fun plaid shirts hibernating in our closet, because I don’t know about you, but for me, Plaid Shirts are an Autumn/Fall Essential. And that’s precisely why I wore a simple ‘Plaid Shirt-Skinny Jeans’ combo when I had to head out to the Contemporary Arts Week. The outfit was pretty basic- and that’s what I was aiming for since we were out and about on our toes for rather long. That explains the ballet flats as well. ;)

In case you want to have a glimpse of the Art Festival, and a peek at how I spent my week, you can click here. J

Jeans: Mango

OOTD: Denim Dress + Floral Necklace

For me a denim dress is a closet staple, and that’s because it’s so easy to dress-up a denim dress. All you need is a fun accessory, like a statement necklace, and voila you’re ready to hit the town.

Talking about denim dresses, I just have two of them, but every time I’m in doubt as to what to wear, I find myself reaching out for one of the two dresses, like I did a couple of weeks back. I had to run a couple of errands and then head to the mall for some shopping, and I did not really have the time to get all ‘dolled-up’. So I just pulled out my denim dress, threw on a floral necklace, stuffed my necessities in my Speedy 30, and I was good to go. That simple!

Here’s a look at how I styled my other denim dress.

What are your closet staples?

Denim Dress: Zara

Handbag: Louis Vuitton Speedy 30

Watch: Tommy Hilfiger

Sandals: Bata

Belt: Vintage

Floral Necklace: Bangkok

OOTD: Reggae Vibes

I love me some stripes, and I love me some colour. So when you combine stripes and colour, it automatically results in my favourite outfit. And when the colour palette has a strong reggae vibe to it, it just makes the outfit that much more special.

Confused by the description? Checkout the dress I wore a couple of weeks back. This dress is super comfortable and fits beautifully. I like the fuss-free style and the fact that it’s cotton makes it for an easy wear in this humid weather.

I paired the dress up with my brown Bata flats and a tan belt (from Bangkok). And my choice of handbag was the Louis Vuitton Galliera PM. I love how the tan elements (in the accessories) complement the outfit and pull the whole look together. I also wore a peach hair-band (also from Bangkok). If you follow me on Instagram, you would know that I have been loving hair-bands.

Dress: Watch this to know (and get pleasantly surprised).

Footwear: Bata

Handbag: Louis Vuitton Galliera PM

A Day at the Mall: OOTD + VLOG

The other day, my Husband and I went to the mall to pick up a few items (none pertaining to me though). And while I almost always enjoy getting dressed for the mall, that particular day I didn't have enough time to fuss over my outfit. So I wore the simplest outfit ever, and I think I managed to look half decent. J

I chose a sheer, printed blouse (which was a favourite at the time I was working with a law firm, but hadn't received much love lately) and paired it with my trusted dark blue skinnies. For shoes my obvious choice were the silver ballet flats I'd picked up from Bangkok. I say obvious because malls require a ton of walking, and for that I need to be in my comfiest pair of footwear, although I've spotted plenty of girls rocking 6 inch heels and trotting about the mall (why would they torture themselves!). And the star attraction of my outfit (I hope that phrase makes sense though) was my gorgeous Louis Vuitton handbag. It's such a beautiful handbag, perfect for a day at the mall as it's an over the shoulder bag and extremely comfortable to carry. The photo you see was taken at the basement parking of the mall. If you're a Delhi girl, I'm sure you would have already guessed the mall in question (if not, watch the VLOG). :) I love creativity in any form and the colourful graffiti splattered all across the parking lot is such a great reminder of all the latent creativity that people have.

In case I have piqued your curiosity and you would want to have a look at my day at the mall, just click the play button.

Kimono Convert: OOTD

I have been a fairly recent ‘Kimono Convert’. I am not usually the one to jump on to the latest trend bandwagon, and it did take me a while to try on kimonos, but once I did, there was no going back. What to do…they are the easiest thing to throw on, and they make a simple jeans+ tee outfit look instantly dressy. So every time I am in a (wardrobe) fix, I just wear a kimono over my basic outfit and feel ‘put-together’.

Now you might remember this kimono from my Spring/Summer Haul. It’s been a couple of months since I got it, and it was my first kimono ever, but I have worn it like 50 times already!

So last week, when I had to go for a casual meeting, I just paired up this beautiful blue kimono with a pair of dark skinnies and white tank top. To make the outfit a little dressy, I wore my metallic ballet flats, and carried my current favourite Louis Vuitton Speedy 25 handbag in Damier Azur.

Check-out how I wore this kimono at the Grub Fest.

My Birthday Outfit

Birthdays are special, so are Birthday Outfits. So today I’ll share with you what I wore on my Birthday (which was on 21^st July).

Since were going for lunch, I kept my outfit casual + comfy, and nothing screams comfy like a good maxi dress. So I wore a beautiful starry maxi dress (gifted to me by my little sister) with some neutral flats. To accessorize, I just wore big white/gold earrings (which complemented the star print) which I got from Bangkok. And I carried my beautiful Louis Vuitton Speedy 25 handbag which fit in all my necessities for the day. I also wore my rose-gold watch (which I seldom leave home without).

Want to have a closer look at my outfit and the accessories? Just watch the video below.

I did change in to another outfit for the evening, since we were going for a movie. I get uncomfortably cold in cinema halls so I added a light cardigan to the mix.

Casual Chic OOTD What I Wore on the Weekend

Hi guys!

Today I’m going to share with you this casual outfit that I wore a couple of weekends ago. I had to get dressed (and get going) but I was in no mood to put an effort into doing so, so I quickly grabbed this simple yet gorgeous deep magenta top and paired it with my favourite dark blue skinnies. I find tops of this (rather longish) length to be quite flattering and chic, for one they cover the behind so one doesn’t have to worry about things showing while sitting etc. Also, long tops (even tunics) when combined with skinny pants/jeans (appear to) elongate the body, giving one a slimmer look. Coming on to the footwear, I slipped on my rather androgynous dark brown sandals. And the icing on the cake (or this outfit) was my Louis Vuitton Handbag. J

I think the outfit looked just fine, and I was quite happy with the end result because honestly I’d hardly put any effort towards it.

I’d love to hear what you have to say.
