SPARKLING SEQUINS!!

I am loving the  revival of the vintage dazzle. It makes a eye-catching trend which takes me back to the disco era. Yes the SEQUINS are back with a bang. As opposed to what people think,  I believe that sequins are really versatile; It's up to you to wear it the way you want. Take a look at some of my favorites.

You just need a pair of killer stilettos to go with the outfit and avoid any other accessories since the bling factor is eye-catching enough.

I love how the red open toed stilettos balances the look .

An important thing to keep in mind is not to go for bling in all items. As in the above left picture, the sequined skirt is paired with a satin shirt. This way the fabulous sequined item stands out!!

 Sequined jackets can help jazz up an ordinary outfit (middle). Just pair any silk top with a sequined jacket and skinny jeans and you are good to go. Also a sparkling top can be paired with black basics(right).

One of my favorite charachters 'serena' from gossip girl wearing the wonderful golden sequined dress is enough to make me join the bling brigade.

DO IT YOURSELF:

You can jazz up your old shirts and tops by pasting sequins or stitching sequined motifs onto them. It's an easy, inexpensive way to being a trendsetter. Also sequins can be used on bags, shoes, accessories... You just have to be rich in your imagination.

 

Summer Heat !!

How do you know that summer is around the corner?? An increase in the heat (which is kind of obvious), humidity (hmm), eyes encased with sun glasses, jeans going for a toss, and yeah every issue of fashion magazines screaming the advent of fashion weeks. Well I love summers for all the colour and brightness that it brings to our lives in every way and of course it also provides a good excuse for me to indulge into more shopping.

 So the other day, I set off to browse the stores. Here is a list of some of the things that caught my eye:

Shorts are back again. I am very bored with the usual blue denim ones, but Remanika has a great collection of cotton ones in greens and magenta with black imprints. They were rather eye-catching and also had a cotton belt with it…Would look great paired with a white shirt. Would also recommend the pretty sleeveless embroidered tops fitted in the front and flowy down.

One shoulder tops and dresses are also the flavour of the season. It’s perfect for an evening or a night out. Wear stilettos to enhance the look further. Simply love the knitted multicoloured dress...

 The shops are flooded with accessories… Headbands are a great investment in summers. Will keep your hair in place and will raise your glam quotient. The satin ones with bows are perfect. Also I will pick big chunky bangles. A string of pearls also looks really chic and can be paired with almost anything if you keep the length in mind (very important).

 Bags and clutches in shades of green are flooding the stores. Owning one will convince people that you are really involed in the green drive...

I think its time to ditch black. Purple eye pencil (I am very partial to this colour). Can’t wait to doll up my eyes. Also a blush in rose colour or peach is perfect for the summer.

Glares… Necessity more than a style statement. It's important to protect those pretty eyes isn’t it?? Don't you simply love the electric blue frames.. sigh!!
