You gotta love Women's Day

A very Happy International Women's Day to all you fab readers and fashionistas. I need not launch into an explanation about how I feel about a day solely dedicated to women because the post will do most of the talking.
I have been inspired no end by Prabal Gurung's Fall 2011 Collection and those bright hues( with and without the color blocking) are to swear by. Note to self: Bright hued Maxi dress is a must buy this season.
For now, my bright pink, 'ol faithful tunic from Witchery will do the trick. More so when I pair it up with dark blue tights for the stark combination.
New wine in an old bottle when I add a gold coin necklace I mooched off my sister AGES back to add a rustic touch! :) The first two picture are at a Teafe or a Chai Bar in Bangalore called Chai Patty which is AWESOME to say the least. Low lying cushions, cane stools, cutting chai, pakodas, maggi..and wait for it..Jewelery for sale, glowing in the amber glow of lamp shades. I could sit there for hours.

Bright pink tunic: Witchery, Blue Tights: ASOS, Golden shoes: Rubi Shoes, Australia, Golden bag: Random pick from Australia, Golden necklace: NO IDEA :P, Anklet: Commercial Street (Its becoming a permanent fixture with me :) )
A perfect day with the perfect Italian wine and dine and lots of shopping. And my cup of chai <3
Share the love on FACEBOOK and TWITTER and oh oh, STYLE PILE.
Lots of love chicitas <3

Outfit Post OD-ing

Hey all!
The NYFW has got me wrapped around its little pinky and I've been spending more time than usual on the internet, looking up collections and Prabal Gurung's fall collection has emerged a clear winner. It is very evident from the collection that he is out there, experimenting with styles and textures and that especially showed in the use of different fabrics and the colors. The ombre pinks with the fierce reds and lets not forget the gorgeous tulle with the feather and sequin work dress which was undeniably, my favourite.

On another note, I decided to try a layering of two of my favourite pieces from my closet and add a gorgeous dash of pearls and pink to it. The chunky string of pearls around the neck and pearl hairband. See how it turned out. The lovely PINK effects: Ay :)

The black top with rosettes: Forever New, The grey tunic: Supre, tights: random pick from Australia, the pink bag: Coach, the shoes: Random jooti store, watch: DKNY
I decided to add a sudden Indian touch to the very preppy outfit by adding these HOT PINK 'jootis' with multi colored thread work to the outfit. Of course the Pink Coach perfectly complemented those.
What do you think? Like/Dislike/Indifference?
Also, a friend informed me that I was Teen Vogue's Best Dressed Reader on 27th January :) Check it out HERE.
I am also available on StylePile now and hopefully I will update it often :) Find me HERE.
Much love fashionistas!

Think Pink Sunday

“The rose is a flower of love. The world has acclaimed it for centuries. Pink roses are for love hopeful and expectant. White roses are for love dead or forsaken, but the red roses, ah the red roses are for love triumphant.” ~ Love Quotes

It comes to a girl sometimes, feeling tickled pink. Here are some pink stuff and quotes I think are interesting.

Pink is the color of happiness.

“Almost all words do have color and nothing is more pleasant than to utter a pink word and see someone's eyes light up and know it is a pink word for him or her too” ~ Gladys Tabe

“Pink is the color of romance and a friend tells me that the girl with the pink dress at the party is the one who is selected for each dance” ~ Alfred Carl Hottes

“The very pink of perfection.” ~ Oliver Goldsmith

“Slow buds the pink dawn like a rose From out night's gray and cloudy sheath; Softly and still it grows and grows, Petal by petal, leaf by leaf.” ~ Susan Coolidge

“Wish on everything. Pink cars are good, especially old ones. And stars of course, first stars and shooting stars. Planes will do if they are the first light in the sky and look like stars. Wish in tunnels, holding your breath and lifting your feet off the ground. Birthday candles. Baby teeth.” ~ Francesca Lia

 

“I fell off my pink cloud with a thud.” ~ Elizabeth Taylor

“Picasso had his pink period and his blue period. I am in my blonde period right now.” ~ Hugh Hefner A little best friend for a lady, Pink Butterfly Tampon Case.

Roses Forever

Hey you guys :)
Didn't take me long to be back, you'd say :) After a tiring but fruitful 3 days of grilling debates and an eventful-fun break night party, I wound up at the debate tournament yesterday making it to the Semi-finals :) Couldn't have been happier!
All this while, I've been doing a lot of thinking about what runway fashion should I talk about. I could go on and on if I had to write a very drool-smudged post on the NYFW with the most gorgeous collections I've ever laid my eyes on. But thats not what I do with every post and that is what makes reading this different, I guess. This blog is as much about all the designers I love as it is about the smallest of the things that make the world of a difference to a girl like me. And its only when I sat and pondered over it so much did I decide that today was a good day to write about something that puts the widest smile on my face-Getting surprised with flowers :D
I love receiving flowers and there is no doubt about the fact that all the lilies and gerberas and orchids of the world are breathtakingly beautiful and like any other girl, I cannot think of any other way you could make me happy instantly (Unless of course its a pair of Loubotins or a yum Red velvet cupcake)
But its funny that however cliche it might sound, I have never EVER found a replacement for roses in my heart :)
My favourite? Peach roses. It also so happens that peach is my color of the season ;) I dug up this picture of my 50 peach roses which I was surprised with at the eve of my 21st :)

Along with a big cupcake cake :D

And then my inspiration for writing this, these that I got today! :)

I will continue to experiment with pictures :)

Needless to say, it worked :) The classic Magenta roses are eternally vivacious.
Girls don't ask for much, do they? :)
Tell me your story about these little things. Keep the comments rolling in.

Of frozen Yoghurts and Pink accessories

You will be surprised at how often I mention food in my fashion blog if you've been following my blog closely. Fashion is what you put on your back( and feet and hair and face :D ) and what you put in your mouth :) So the tale begins with me suddenly realising that there is this place in town which I've been dying to give a go. At the very onset, let me make it amply clear that there are some weird quirks I have in life. Quirk in point- Frozen Yoghurts :) This place I talk about is called Kiwi Kiss and needless to say it had been look invitingly at me for a long time. After a day of lazing around the house, long weekend and all..I finally arrived at Kiwi Kiss with a few friends. My verdit- Simply Delightful. Not to be given a miss. Whats even better? Their toppings of fresh kiwis, strawberry, blue berry, black berry, choco chips et al. I had a kiwi yoghurt with kiwi toppings. Satiating and like they say in their advert, brings you closer to Nirvana :)
The weather in Bangalore is quite treacherous. The good sorts. Never an extreme day. Unanticipated rains. Usually bordering on cold. Perfect, in short. Here's a sneak peek into some pictures I took today.
P.S: I wore a peachy scarf today :) Doubled up well to protect my hair when I made a dash in the rain today:)

Kiwi Froyo :)

Large Strawberry Froyo :)

A friend's Tee. Quite Cool I thought it was.

My candy pink ballet flat :)

My lacy peach scarf. Perfect weather for it:)

How was your day? Comments on my post? Let me know :)
