“Go from casual to dressy in no time”
So every now and then I want to elevate my style game and for that, I keep on experimenting with contrasting trends and looks, so this time I am getting rid of my regular jeans or leggings and pick something which I rarely tried. To do something peculiar and playful, I am going to do printed trousers this time. And I choose floral ones.
I picked printed trouser many times while shopping but drop them at the last moment wondering how they look on me? I am not at all tall and petite in size so my biggest concern was whether I can justify the prints in bottoms or not?
So I decided to let’s try it! and for that, I ditched my regular jeans or denim and go with my colorful floral trousers, this is what fashion is all about right? To keep on assaying and becoming more innovative and creative. To upgrade your style quotient all you need to try new and different things and that’s it.
My trouser is colorful and medium floral so if you are choosing such kind of print which speaks for itself then do not go overboard with your top. Avoid intricate prints and patterns. Keep upper plain or you can simply choose white top or tees depending upon how you want to conduct the look formal or casual? I choose casual and with that, I combined plane yellow-colored crop top which enhances the silhouette of my floral printed trouser.
Just keep in mind you can elegantly combine your floral trousers with white or pearly tees, tanks or tops or any plain colored top as I combined with yellow and try to make it chic. Avoid making look too busy. Add shimmery accessories to make it more catchy.
A simple necklace, modish earrings, a trendy bag, or swanky looking sunnies will take the entire look to another level. I opted for yellow sunnies and boho earrings. What you say? Do you like my look? Well don’t forget to drop a comment for my beautiful printed trouser, after all, they are the show stopper for today’s blog post. Adding those additional braids which look like my own kind of deadlocks give the look a whole new chic vibe.
Hey guys, What you say about being in a good dress that suits your body type ? Nothing better than that in my opinion. So here I want to talk about dress today which is not only flowy but also suits your body type. This dress is none other than our favourite flowy dress.
Flowy Polka Dotted dress for Petite frame
I know its snowy outside, I can literally see snow out of my window!! You guys probably thinking why I am talking about flowy summer dress at this time of the year. But my dear friends its fun talking about summer stuff in winters don’t you think so? Dresses are always exception in my post, I can bring along any topic about dresses anytime. They are always my favourite , doesn’t matter what season it is going on! Unless I’ll become famous with my blog and only post according to what you guys ask for??
Flowy dresses as we know are significantly very feminine, movable and always light in weight. They create perfect silhouette. My tribe not only love to flatter this beautiful piece of cloth but also love to level up their game for fashion by choosing at least one for their wardrobes. It’s all about the lightness of the fabric, no matter whether it’s long dress, mid length or a short dress. What matter is the body type carrying such kind of dress. So it’s very important to choose the correct body type for these dribbly dresses. Margin of errors are least in fashion when you already choose what looks good on you and stick to your body shape!!
Breezy dresses are symbol of feminity other than that its always a great way to add some volume while keeping the look dainty and feminine. These dresses are usually fitted at the top and gradually move away from the body and that’s where silhouette plays its role.
Other than my body type , I love to share two other body types for streamy dresses.
For Pear shaped body types, one should wear a dress that is fitted at the bust and skims over hips. The dresses which best suits Pear Shaped body types are:
Maxi dress
Shift dress
A- line dress
For Hourglass body type , show it off, choose a dress that hugs your trim waist. The dresses best suits Hourglass body type are:
Body con dress
Wrap dress
Mermaid dress
Tall body types can experiment with hem while choosing for long flowy dresses .
As I am Petite body type and need to add few inches to my frame, dresses that end just above the knees or below the knees will suits me the best.
Above all the shape and stuff don’t forget to focus on cuts, edges, style and hem. Always remember mantra for innovative fashion which always comes by mixing, blending and experimenting the piece of cloth whatever it may be. Like you simply transform the look of the dress by layering your beautiful flowy dress with a Cardigan , Shrug, Crop top or a Jacket.
“Wearing the same outfit as someone else can be a blast!”
I sometimes love to try on trends or styles which doesn’t belong to me. And trust me I almost love to replicate them by adding my little sweet changes to it. Most of the times you have to be innovative to sustain in any kind of interest and put forward your ideas, whether it is fashion, food, travel, lifestyle or anything which truly needs proposition in the world, because people love to see what’s new and how it can be beneficial to them.
So, I love to introduce this new segment in my blog which I will try to keep coming every fortnight , in which I love to replicate any accessory style or garment style or anything that catches my eye. This is Twin Fashion. As the name suggests I will try to put forward a certain style which I am going to create here by getting inspiration from already existing one which may come across on my way back to home from work or discovering someone wearing it on street, mall , market or an internet.
My motive is to take fashion inspiration from the original one and try to create it as close as possible.
As you can see here , the perfect combination of bright coloured apparels along with similar bright accessory( I am not sure about the exact source of this beautiful picture) is something that made me replicate it all over again. In order to keep things subtle sometimes we often avoid risking our fashion abilities. But this is the perfect example of taking risk with all the bright colours and ending up looking so fresh and chic. This fashion style gives a summery vibe. Florescent green, ruffled neck dress layered with fuchsia pink notched colour jacket looks perfect for the evening stroll with your friends. Beautiful chunky turquoise necklace enhances the whole look which creates an amazing amalgamation of colours. Trust me I adore this look!!
Now it’s time to create the style as closest as possible. So here is my version. I am not trying anything summery but going to put the whole brightness into the frame of winter styling. So for that I am going to use my neon coloured knitted crop sweater and layer it with embellished pink jacket.
Unite the whole look with turquoise coloured necklace which again elevates the look and feel of this fashion dub and made it look almost like the original one. This necklace is a real game changer. Accessories always play significant part in any styling game. It totally stands out the entire look!!!
I hope you guys like it!! comments are always welcome.
Will soon come up with other Twin Fashion soon , till then keep reading!
Nowhere beats the heart so kindly as beneath the tartan plaid…
William Edmonstoune Aytou
Hey guys, how are you all? Are you ready to celebrate Christmas !! Tree decoration, gift wrapping, socks stuffings….all set for Christmas Eve. Same here, but still I want to write a post in between the ongoing celebrations as the topic is one of my favourites. As we know that patterns play an important part in fashion. Like colours, we have distinctive patterns which are there to create amazing looks for fashion runways and hit along any given fashion platform. Out of all those beautiful and creative patterns; today I am going to talk about one such pattern. PLAID. This one such winter favourite is also known as Tartan. This consists of crisscrossed horizontal and vertical bands in multiple colours.
Colourful Plaid Fabric
Tartan is particularly associated with Scotland. It is often called Plaid in the United States. It is made of alternating bands of coloured (pre-dyed) threads woven as both warp and weft at right angles to each other.
Red Plaid Fabric
The tartan as we know it today is not thought to have existed in Scotland before the sixteenth century. By the late 16th century there are numerous references to striped or checkered plaids. It is not until the late 17th or early 18th century that any kind of uniformity in tartan is thought to have occurred. Tartan originated in woven wool, but now they are made from many other materials.
Scottish immigration at the end of the 18th century contributed to the popularisation of plaid in the USA. Founded in 1830 by Woolrich Woollen Mills, this legendary pattern comes from Pennsylvania. In the field of fashion, these lumberjack checks play a significant role and already created their outstanding mark. The plaid pattern is one of the most classic and chic of all times.
Plaid Pants by Urban Planet
Designers all over the world keep on creating and experimenting with this pattern in different ways like coloured tartans or plaids which was a major trend last year and this year too. This pattern is so effortless that you can wear any piece of garment with checks and you will never fail to nail the look, be it a simple buffalo shirt or be it a chic skirt along with a shimmering top.
Plaid Buffalo Shirt
Wool-blend plaid skirt is so classic and a kind of wardrobe must-have. Plaid shirts on the other hand are unisex and effortless. Designers used this pattern in accessories like gloves, shoes, Winter hats and bags.

The best you can do is combine tan accessories with your plaid pieces as they complement each other flawlessly. As a stylist, I would like to recommend all fashionistas to at least have one plaid piece in their wardrobe in any form.

Complete your look with these lumberjack checks available in all moody hues these days. A little rough and tumble never hurt anyone. All the best with the Plaid Playing guys!!
The world needs greener and greener, there is no doubt in every single word of the quote I mentioned above. Green is everything. As much as the world remains green so are our lives. What I feel is, the world needs to grow green as soon as possible. I know people all over already started a green lifestyle, they are going organic whether in food or clothing, and they are opting for more natural things rather than virtual, yes slowly and gradually things will change but of course, we have to take steps for that.
But today I am not discussing statistical things, rather I am talking about the colour as in fashion. Verdant love-Verdant is derived from the Old French word for “green,” vert, which in turn is from Latin virērē, meaning “to be green. The colour green is a most integral part of the spectrum which lies between blue and yellow, also you can see how nature plays with colours by keeping sky blue and sunshine yellow which directly creates a vast canvas of green pastures, land and forests. So, nature also justifies the importance of green.
Green is life. Green is everywhere. Not only in our nature but also in our lifestyle, health and of-course fashion. I am a green tea lover and I do live on it for years it is the biggest source of immunity booster and good for your overall health.
If talk about lifestyle, we all love to keep our houses breathable by decorating them with beautiful plants, small plants, big plants, beautiful big gardens or succulents in every room. Any way we love to show our love towards the green to let green prevail.
Even fashion industries all over the world never fail to display green colour on runways every year. No runway is complete without a splash of it. Green brings life, its ultimate stylish colour to wear and soothing to your eye. There are many green shades such as Olive green, Mint green, Pea green, Military green, Sacramento green and Neon green. You can play along with this colour any which way you like, extremely sporty and versatile shade. You can try it on with all the refreshed spins with this single colour.
NEON GREEN SWEATER
In this post, I am going to share a few green picks which I recently bought and of course, they are my personal favourite. So I am going to share them today with all of you. Here are my green must-haves for the season:
CASHMERE LIME GREEN HEADBAND AND MATCHING CROP SWEATER
Stradivarius CROPPED LIME GREEN SWEATER Stradivarius LIME GREEN HEADBAND
Oh, I love this pair of headbands and cropped sweaters from Stradivarius, a brand from Spain. I bought this when I was in Italy last year(2018). Lime green colour and cashmere softness make it more exciting to wear. Lime green gives it a casual and sporty look while its softness makes it soberer being extremely bright in colour. I just love wearing this pair and teaming it up with black (ultimate combine with Lime green) whenever I have to go for a casual hangout.
SACRAMENTO GREEN COLOURED CROPPED SWEATSHIRT

This Sacramento green-coloured cropped sweatshirt from one of my favourite brands Zara is one of the most economical and quick buys. This is so comfortable and casual with warm lining inside, which. makes it perfect for a sunny winter afternoon with a layering jacket over it.
LIP GLOSS AND HAND CREAM

H&M- MILITARY COLOUR BEANIE
This green military colour beanie from H&M is another must-have for this season. I usually don’t go out without a beanie especially when it’s windy. It’s very important to keep your ear and head covered. This beanie is so comfy from the inside and nicely knitted from the outside as well as it’s super warm. I usually love the concept of comfy and stylish clothing, whether it is an accessory or a garment. I am loving it!!

Look how fab it looks!!! This also included shimmer eyeshadow which is one of my favourites.

Now this pine-coloured satin sparkled wool yarn from Bernat which I bought from Walmart is a random pick, I was not planning any knitting but its texture and colour are so amazing that I couldn’t resist buying it, I am soon planning to knit a nice small stole out of it. Let’s see if I can nail it or not.
