{FASHION} MiMaMo Gypsy girl with GLOBAL DESI

Global Desi , is a brand that cannot escape the cupbard of the Indian boho-chic girl. I especially love the brand for its affordable runway fashion made available to the masses. Global Desi has sizes suited to the Indian frame. So I luckily fit into an XS. Petite girls might need some tailoring to get fitted. Every global desi piece is a story. I love how much thought they put in every collection. Remember last season, this collection was inspired by MELA and had motifs from the indian melas.

Here's what the A/W 14 MiMaMo collection has in store:

"Fashion meets timeless art as Global Desi celebrates the ancient art of Madhubani fused with kaleidoscopic elements of mosaic with the launch of its Autumn Winter 2014 collection – MiMaMo. Enhanced with symbolic images such as the lotus plant, moving fish, birds, turtle or sun gods that symbolise wellbeing, luck, prosperity and have been an intrinsic feature of Madhubani art- this boho-chic collection highlights the innate beauty of Indian heritage and the vibrancy of medieval art. Mithila, Madhubani and Mosaic are the three main inspirations behind the MiMaMo collection making it a sartorial marriage of tradition and global fashion, a seamless mélange of contemporary styles with a unique Indian stamp."

I totally fell for two maxi dresses- One with a mosaic pattern and other- PAKSHI DRESS with bird motifs on it,featured here. Check out their collection on their Facebook page or website!
Which one is your favorite?

Ramp to Reality ft.Global Desi

A week has gone by since the LFW fever has kept the Mumbai fashion aficionados on their toes. I must admit my absence at the A/W hotspot has not caused much unrest. A hectic work life and many prior commitments have caused much more unrest than this. My humble thanks to the digital space hosted by popular magazines & fashion blogs .I don't miss a single show-stopping look at Lakme Fashion Week. I can feel the artsy vibes each and every day on twitter, instagram and facebook.

2 weeks ago, I took my prized possession from Anita Dongre's Global Desi collection for LFW 2013 out on a Sunday morning brunch. I admire Anita Dongre's passion for making Ramp-worthy collection accessible. Her rendition of Indian Boho-chic with her brand Global Desi, is a favorite with Desi fashionistas. She debuted her lables on LFW last year and boy, were they a delight! Aditi Rao Hydari graced the ramp in her delightful maxi. I wished I could have it and one more on the ramp. When I went for Global Desi's Spring/Summer 2014 preview, little did I know that the stores would be running SALE and I would find that most loved look from the ramp in the store! I thanked my stars & got this amazing slit skirt along with the crop blouse. She described her collection a 70s reminiscence with a gypsy feel. The latest A/W 2014 collection is called Mi-Ma-Mo. And did I tell you I am in love with her Jaipur Bride video, the audio is always on repeat. Her taste in jewellery does justice to Indian crafts like no other. Am i glad she has launched her jewellery collection with the label PINKCITY. Come fall in love...

Beach Behavior: Shall we Play?

Hey girls!

We continue the Beach waves with our second edition featuring the ever-playful - PLAYSUITS. The petite version of jumpsuits, these are a go-to option for the girl who loves to be fun and practical at the same time. Except that washroom visits could be a concern if they are button-downs. If you wear playsuits on a long day-trip, its best to choose the flowy kinds with elasticated necklines, so they are easier to get-in and get-off. As for a shorter wear for a brunch-party , you may opt for a well-tailored version instead.

Strawberry playsuit, fringe shrug,bangles- Fleamarket| Neckpiece- ZARA| On my nails- SALLY HANSEN SUGAR COAT in Bubbledrop

Pair them with shrugs/jackets as per your convenience to transform the beach look to a brunch/dinner-date look! Its versatile and stylish. Check out my picks this SS'14 from some of my favorite stores. Make your wish-list so that you grab these as soon as they hit the stores!
