ANIMAL PRINTED BANGLES

I am always on the hunt for anything new; from that trendy new café to an eye-catching accessory, I like to experiment! Since my last fashion obsession (Read cocktail ring) is running low nowadays I decided to dive into the pursuit of something worthwhile. I was looking for something perfect that I could wear it and not look like a clone of thousand others. I mean nowadays everybody is sporting the usual beaded neck pieces, colored bangles, jewelled clips and the likes. So I begun checking out the shops again and was getting morose by the second when these amazing animal printed bangles at the accessorize shop caught my eye. They were gorgeous; unlike those tacky plastic ones they were metallic with animal prints and fit for glam nights!! 

SHOP: Accessorize, Inorbit mall, Mumbai (Malad, Vashi)

PRICE: Rs 300 for a set of 3

 I will surely put the pictures as soon as I can but till then I browsed and found these equally wonderful ones online. Check it out and let me know if these fascinate you too!!

DOLL IT UP LIKE 90210

I have been an avid follower of Gossipgirl which Ihave always considered as one of the most stylish shows on tv;  and now 90210 has somehow managed to capture my attention. Though I think GG fashion is incomparable, 90210 doesn't exactly dissapoint either. I really love the concept of dressing up for the beach. Where GG showcased the fashion of the upper East side, 90210 focusses on the fashion of the rich and famous Beverly hill residents. Fashion can be so different but at the same time uber stylish too!! As i always say 'variety is the spice of life'.



90210  tumblr-polyvore

Though I love all the four girls (naomi, ade, silver and anne) its silver (third from left) whom I totally adore. With her short chic haircut to that amzing but subtle eyemake up that she sports, she is totally a 90210 stylista. I just love her layered clothing stlye and the stylish gold neckpieces. So I decided to attempt the task of bringing her striking wardrobe to my blog and make a collage of it. Hope you like it!!
