Yellow shoes and Sunshine!!

Recently I have noticed a lot searches about 'what to wear with yellow shoes' so I decided to dedicate my next post to the same. If you ask me, there is a lot that could be done with that colour and personally it is my favorite.. It reminds me of sunshine and sunflowers and the lazy summers with straw hats. The best thing about yellow shoes is it can brighten up any outfit especially pastels. I love pairing yellow with light peaches, pale blues and gorgeous mauves.

Vibrant yellows could also be used for color blocking with equally vibrant hues such as fuchsia and mint greens if you are bold enough. Yellow shoes also look great with the very fresh nautical trend. It cuts through the monotones and gives a very uber chic look. I have picked out some of my favorites for the season. Aren’t they fabulous??

A Day in The Sun !!

So I know  its June, and Summer is on its way out but for better or for worse, Mumbai has no definite climate set so I get to pick out some gorgeous stuff which would make Summer seems less hot if you know what I mean. Of course this is my guilt making excuses for not blogging for such a long time and missing the spring and the Summer Fashion altogether but this is my blog so I could afford to take a breather and blog my way into a new season.. I know I have a lot of catching up to do and so do you; So here we go !!

Currently I am swooning over one trend that has been forever (for the creative types) and still gets reinvented every season; I am talking about color blocking!! This trend is huge on the runaways and off it too and why not since its very do-able and all it takes is having fun with your imagination. The most remarkable thing about this trend is how you can customize the look accordingly. The 'it' colors of the season are bright fuchsia, turquoise, mint greens, neon yellows and pale reds. For a bold look you can mix and match any two colors from the opposite side of the color palette to avoid looking like the Sun yourself. In order to play safe, you can mix a lighter shade with a more luminous one..think a pale lilac blouse paired with a bright turquoise.

If you are a novice then the best way to start is to color block your accessories with your outfit such as shoes and bags which help make the maximum impact. Another way to incorporate color-blocking is through your make-up.., think gorgeous lime green eyes with a nude lip gloss and porcelain skin. What you can achieve is just sheer art!!

I AM BACK!!

JUMPSUITS

I have been closely watching the revival of the jumpsuit trend. Slowly but surely its making its way and seeping into the summer fashion scene and I for one is pleased. I still remember the dungrees that I used to adore wearing years back, which then gradually had faded away. Well in fashion, what goes around, comes around and it has with loads of glam no less. Jumpsuits can be a little tricky to wear but you can select the one that suits your body type.

The resort wear collection from Chanel has a very spring-summer feel to it. The fabrics been used are light weight and breezy making them ideal choices for the hot summer evenings. The full length jumpsuits suit long legs so people who are petite can either wear stilettos or else go for something shorter and above the knees. Also a v necked style creates an illusion of height.

It is best to avoid very loose fitted jumpsuits as it doesn't look good hanging. At the same time, tight fitted ones also need to be worn accordingly. Jumpsuits suit all occasions.. Shopping, Brunches, Evenings and also for those night outs. If you are bored with wearing the same old LBD's and skirts, then just jump into one, accessorize with sky-high heels and blingy belts and watch heads turn.
