Fall Fashion reveal with Megha & Kalpesh!
Although we don’t technically experience a fall or autumn. Fashion-wise, however, we must upgrade to the trends and hues of Fall! A collaboration with the super talented Megha & Kalpesh came in at the best time for me. As I work on a whole batch of wedding related posts for you guys, they were amidst launching a new collection of fall fashion. What better way to announce their new collection and do a fun formal wear post with Jugni? Shot at the majestic Regency Lagoon Resort, Rajkot. The emerald green of my Gown made me feel like a total Forest Princess. I have always been slightly sceptical of how a…

Would a bride ditch the Red & go Black?
Quite excited to announce a new section on the blog, details on that coming real soon. As of now, I’d say pick up some hints and tell me what you think it will be about? Monsoon & Weddings, the two words seem tough to use in the same wedding unless you are referring to the movie. but when I got down to some real research and sourcing I was having a tough time looking for bridal wear, the colours seem slightly restricted as soon as I decided to break away from the obvious reds, pinks etc. Going by the new-age bridal trends as well as keeping it classy and well…

#BringTheKurtaBack – Styling your favourite kurtas in simple new ways.
Remember how there was this whole phase where kurtas were only sported by the journalist-artists-NGO volunteers, or at least people judged those to be in this profession. Then came a phase when TV serials brought the Anarkali with leggings trend. Then came the never ending straight kurtas with palazzos. Somewhere in this race of trends, the basic Lucknowi kurta was amiss. When I was 6yrs old, my mum would dress me up in pretty pastels Lucknowi kurtas with matching bindis. It was adored by all of us, she wore similar kurtas too and we gave Mom & Daughter goals to everyone! My association with XOX fashions gave me a chance to…

The festivities have begun, and this madness will continue till, end of the year! Weddings, birthday parties, events, gatherings, even house parties; somehow they all seem to peak come Diwali. Considering you have to go to all these places and have barely any time to put together looks for each of them, here are some handy tips! Invest in statement accessories.

Long jackets, brocade shrugs, sleeveless embroidered waistcoats etc. the options are plenty. Invest in one of…

Dressing for Dandiya nights, when you don’t have a chaniya-choli! #NavratriMustHave
Happy Navratri! A few years ago, I used to plan and prepare for Navratri nights weeks in advance with my white plastic bangle sets, authentic outfits, and accessories. I even had a family friend courier the outfit to me from Ahmedabad, because the patterns there were so updated and prettier from the ones here in Pune. Did you also take a 3-day crash course in Garba pre-navratri? School dandiya night, society dandiya, and ones in the clubs here in Pune. Then came those random events at grounds where TV stars would come and give away best-dressed awards and best group Garba awards. My God the pressure used to be intense. Some…

One Kurta Three Ways. Hacks for a serial outfit repeater. #StyleGameStrong
I have always sorta-kinda-been in denial about being a fashion blogger. In my head, these superstar girls I follow are true fashion bloggers, not me. Like I toh barely even get there. Until ta-da this post! So easy, you absolutely have to try it! Merging the trends of maxi tops and fusion kurtas, my designer created this beautiful classic white kurta for me. The see through georgette and the sexy sleeves makes the bottom pop, with almost any kind of pairing. Be it palazzos, Patiala salwar, slim fit pants or even a skirt or lehenga. Wear it with a printed salwar to the next Ganpati pooja you attend, or pair…

One dress four ways. Easy tips for effortless style!
It’s a horrible thing we have started doing, this whole Instagramming and snap chatting OOTD pictures. It adds layers of doubt in the decision to wear an outfit again! If it has a picture taken and uploaded somewhere, I tend to let the picture do it’s social media time and more before even considering wearing it again, and when I do, it must be with a completely different audience. Stress. In all that self-created drama, let’s look at wearing a simple maxi dress repeatedly and stylishly! If you have a plain dress you know you can do oh-so-much with it, but here is a dress I love and the print…

Sunshine Girl: Should you invest in a bold coloured long dress? #HellYes
Whoever said we need to stick to basic colours for flowy dresses was completely wrong. Highly inspired from Sonam Kapoor’s NYE dress is my boat neck yellow wonder. Although I haven’t worn it out yet, I’m hoping to inaugurate this one soon enough. In my head, I am IIFA green carpet ready, for a swanky brand launch, or even a bloggers event; obviously for family events and weddings too. The bold statement that you will make by sporting a colour like this exudes confidence, poise and style like no one else around you. Don’t hesitate carrying this outfit in the day or night, all that matters is how you carry…
