Valentine's Day Make-Up Tutorial + Outfit Idea || Clothes and Creativity

So Valentine's Day is just around the corner and I thought I'd share with you my go-to outfit for a Valentine's Day Date! Now I remember when I was in school and college I used to get super-excited about Valentine's Day, but in the recent years, I have realised that to spend quality time with your partner, to just bond with them is probably my favourite way to celebrate this supposed 'Day of Love'. Don't get me wrong, those of you who want  to 'party-hardy', I mean I have surely done that, but like I said, age does add some wisdom (or so I like to think)! :)

With that being said, let's just move on to my outfit. Although I wore this outfit for a picnic last weekend, I would love to dress in something similar, come Valentine's Day. It's easy, breezy and bohemian. Perfect for just lounging around or going about town! :)

I also filmed a make-up tutorial centred around Valentine's Day! :)

Happy Diwali: Outfit of the Day

Hope all of you had a beautiful Diwali. I sure had a great time with family.

Actually, to be honest, I spent most of the day getting our house in order, and by evening I was kind of exhausted. So although I did want to get dolled-up in a nice saree, I chose comfort over style (I think I say that a lot). But in comfort too, I wanted to ‘dress for the occasion’. So I came up with the following outfit solution:

Floral Maxi Skirt + Raw Silk Red Blouse + Statement Earrings

There’s something about this floral skirt that makes the whole outfit dressy. If you recall from this post, I had bought this skirt a couple of weeks back. It came with another top, but somehow the outfit as a whole did nothing for me. So I had made a mental note to look for a top from my existing wardrobe that would go nicely with the skirt. And on looking, I found this beautiful raw silk top that I had gotten stitched from my local tailor a couple of years back. So this whole outfit is the perfect example of ‘mix and match’. The best thing about this outfit is that since the skirt has an elastic waistband, it’s really comfortable.

OOTD: At the Movies + Sarojini Nagar Haul

If you’ve been reading this blog for some time, you would know that I absolutely love maxi dresses. And another thing that comes close to my liking for maxi dresses is maxi skirt.

Although I do not have a ton of them, I do enjoy wearing the ones that I do have. And this beautiful one that I recently scored from the ever-popular Sarojini Nagar market has quickly become my favourite.

Since the print on the skirt is rather busy, I kept the top simple- basic black tee looked good. I also wore some nice white/gold earrings (another favourite of mine). And since we were going to watch a movie (Bajrangi Bhaijan- in case you’re interested in knowing which one), I did carry a teal cardigan (I get super-cold in the theatre) and a matching bag from Clarks. The top is my sister’s and the skirt, like I said, is from SN. My footwear was a pair of flats from Bata and I also wore my usual rose-gold watch (Tommy Hilfiger).
