Dazzle and Sizzle: August 2011

A dash of Indian-ness!!!

This is a look I created with the fusion of Western Clothing and Indian accessorizing.So I slipped into my baby pink dress and teamed it up with floral printed stilettos.To add a dash of Indian-ness I accessorized it with junk jewelry, embroidered Jhola(bag) and a shawl(stole).I stuck mostly with different shades of pink .I wore clip-on hair extensions and braided my hair to add some more traditional touch.

I entered this look in the Indian Accents Stylepile contest. So if you like it then please take a minute to "heart" it here

I'd Love to have your feedback :)

CASUAL YET GLAMMED UP !

I wore something more relaxed ,comfortable and uncomplicated this time without loosing on the style factor.Dressing up casually doesn't mean forfeiting style .I slipped in to my skinny jeans , threw on a loose cottony shirt ,zipped up my shoe boots and voila!

The high heels and the bag's sleek silver chain do add some element of glamour and girlishness to the look.Replacing them with sneakers and a rugged looking bag would give a more tomboyish feel to the whole look.

DOLL UP EFFORTLESSLY WITH ZARA's HOT PINK PLEATED DRESS

Zara symbolizes elegance, style and quality within an affordable range. This is another dress I bought from Zara which is uber cute and chic. It's there in the recent zara sale haul post that I did here.

To doll up effortlessly this is the dress to go with.To compliment this look I did some pinky lips and peachy cheeks,big eyes with falsies (coz apparently dolls have attractive eyes :P) ,cute plat with some volume at the crown and a big smile!!

Other than the beach I think it's good for any occassion :)

Indo-Western Fusion : Another way to create spectacular and Exotic looks!

Jhumkas & Bracelet : Janpath , Delhi, India
Neckpiece: Greater Kailash,M block Market ,Delhi , India

Jhola: Sarojini Nagar Market , Delhi, India

Green Body Con Dress : Bombay , India

Stilletoes: Forever 21, Tokyo

The fusion of Indian and western style of dressing can create spectacular looks.Especially,outside India a lot of people consider it to be exotic! The look I created has an indian touch to it despite me dressing up absolutely the non indian way. I accessorized it with some antique looking metallic junk jewelry such as the Jhumkas and traditional looking Neckpiece and Bracelet to add some Indianness .The makeup obviously had to be a lot of kajal and liner to get those big beautiful Indian eyes! .To top it all off I added a jhola(Bag) and a big Desi smile to complete this look.

CASUAL BLAZERS : The In-thing!

Something which has been seen as a formal and non glamorous attire for many many years is now the IN- THING for the youth! They are considered dressy yet super laid back and casual . They seem to go well at all occasions with all kind of outfits (dresses,skirts ,jeans, shorts) and shoes(sneakers,stilettos, ballerinas etc.). Voila!Perfecto!!!

Zara and H&M has quite a good collection of casual blazers. I recently picked up a few more which I shall post later.
